There are not many times Celtic fans disagree with Brendan Rodgers, but it seems when it comes to Erik Sviatchenko they are doing just that.
After bringing in a defender before the window properly opens and preferring Boyata, Simunovic, Ajer and even Bitton at centre-back rather than the Dane the defenders days at Celtic look numbered but fans believe he should be given a chance.
Since being injured the player has not regained his spot within the team even after getting back to full fitness, although not match sharp, but that comes with actually playing matches.
Erik has a good bond with the Celtic support off the pitch and many feel he’s the type of player the club should be rallying behind.
In his first season, the defender was complimented for his composed and stern approach to defending. Since then, like most of our defenders, Erik’s credentials have been called into question with the microscope firmly placed on any mistake a Celtic defender makes.
These fans think it would be a mistake to sell Erik in January, but those pleas may be falling on deaf ears with Compper ready to stake his claim for a place.
Selling Sviatchenko is a mistake

As for Sviatchenko, when he was given his chance under cRonny, he was class and seeing interviews with him off the field, very well read, club captain potential going forward….. He shone under Ronny which was a rareity…

Sviatchenko over Boyata any day for me. Not sure why Brendan doesn’t really rate him. I like Simunovic though no nonsense guy

Brendan Rodg Is the clubs manager and with that will decide on what he thinks is right , not writers of fanzines or the likes
ye could be ontae sumthin there,Charles.Every supporter of every Club has an opinion on anything and everything Football.Debate is Good.Some prefer Erik some even think Boyata is good,Personally i think Boyata is an absolute Bombscare,Obviously Brendan decides whose who and whats what,Doesnt take a rocket scientist to work that out
Most Celtic Supporters i have spoken with,Are mostly against Boyata.And thats most understandable,Duh!!!Obviously Brendan picks his team,Charles it was great of you to point this Out for All us Bhoys n Ghirls.Hope Everyone has a Lovely Xmas and New Year..HH
All about opinions Charlie. Erik cannot be as poor as what we have seen of late..surely?
Give Eric some game time…big Boyata is a nervous wreck when under pressure…
I think he is injury prone and therefore a liability…
Kevin,M8.i know Efe is at Hibs.I was referring to Boyata as Efe Boyata as he is like Efe,A bombscare just waiting to happen.Our Club are back to Normality,Winning Games.No other team in Scotland will or can Ever beat 69 games undefeated.Hope Everyone has a Great Xmas and New Year..HH Bhoys n Ghirls
