Neil Lennon's recent remarks suggests Celtic won't be signing a right-winger

As we trickle into the final few days of the transfer window, there are still a couple of areas that we could ideally improve on. The most glaring one is at left-back/left wing-back. Celtic’s recent change to a 3-5-2 has slightly amended the kind of player we’ll be looking for in that area. An attacking…

A left wing-back is what’s needed the most I have to agree, with Elhamed at right-back going forward he’s brilliant, and liking up with Frimpong I believe that to be the stronger move as well. But we all know Neil will stick with James on the wing in the bigger games? All we need is one more injury out for a long time, and were right back to square one again. I do want Dembele to get more game time, though I don’t think he’s any good as a wing-back lol.

See I’m all for Dembele getting some more game-time as the season progresses, and I actually find it quite worrying that he hasn’t been given a sniff as of yet. However, I also think we could still perhaps do with one more right-winger for exactly the reason you pointed out. What if Forrest was to pick up one of his long-term injuries again? Then you just have Frimpong playing down the right. There will be plenty of times when Lennon goes to a back four again too, especially in the bigger games. Does he drop Frimpong for those and play Elhamed at right-back and Forrest at right-wing? Then Frimpong is simply back-up for both positions. I don’t know mate, it’s a tough one. But it looks almost certain we won’t be bringing another in regardless.

P.S. Sorry I haven’t had the chance to reply over the last week mate, been ridiculously busy away from the writing! Thanks so much for commenting on so many of them though. Going to rattle through them all now!

Sorry I just totally forgot - Forrest HAS already picked up one of his long-term injuries again. It all falls on Frimpong now.

Frimpong will show how great he is in the big games, as long as the masons look after him as well as their faller for a pen.

Sorry, matey I forgot to say hopefully all is well away from this.

Aye he needs a lot more protection from the refs than he currently gets. How often do you see him get chopped down and the referee only blows for a free-kick? Needs so much more protection than he currently gets, but I won’t hold my breath!

And cheers mate, all is good with me. Just doing my best not to catch the virus! Hope you’re doing well too buddy. Hopefully normality can return in the not too distant future. Again - won’t hold my breath!

I think all Refs in every game, should be checked b4 going on the field by the Managers or team Captains for their red cards and glasses. Glad to here matey.
