Originally published at: Regular substitution of David Turnbull is a Celtic mystery in season full of them
When watching Celtic toil to beat Motherwell at the weekend, one aspect stood out. David Turnbull had been substituted, again. This time the 20-year-old lasted 80 minutes before being taken off. That is a regular pattern of the season, the last full 90 minutes he played for Celtic was the 0-0 draw with Livingston last…

The more time he’s got on the pitch, the better Celtic play

Agree 100%, I think him and Ajeti should be playing the entire game. If the excuse is they aren’t match fit then how would they get match fit by playing around the same amount of time every game. It could be to protect him but its a weak excuse.

You’ve got to wonder how many more goals he could score or help create in those final 10 minutes when the opposition are also getting leg weary & lapsing in concentration, that’s where we have to ability in our squad to kill teams off, I’d be playing the young guy for 90 minutes wherever possible tbh & giving him every opportunity to turn the screws
