CELTIC FANS were staring into the abyss, with fifteen minutes to go, Thistle had their equaliser and things looked shaky for Celtic.
Step up the rarely used Cristian Gamboa.
The right back used his pace and precision to set up not one but two goals for Celtic as he helped settle any nerves on the day.
Celtic fans are raving about the defender who was harshly dropped when Lustig came back from the World Cup.
Most fans now believe Gamboa must start against Suduva.
We agree!
Gamboa will be sold for £18m next summer

Now THAT was a Celtic goal! Insanely brilliant ball from Jamesy, Gamboa terrifying pace and delivery and perfect finish from Tam.
Sad to say it because he has been terrific for us BITD and he did wear a polis hat but that has to finish Lustig as a viable right back for us.

Gamboa with two assists, amazing what a decent right wing back can provide haha ????

Gamboa deserves a run now. Two great assists

Well, if Gamboa hasn't won the RB slot now he never will.
Great display by the wee man.

Gamboa surely gotta start on Thursday now

Gamboa has less than 12-months on his current Celtic deal, maybe worth signing him up!
It’s a shame he’s an awful defender, we need 2 centre halves and a real right back it’s frightening how bad we are defensively.
Gamboa is a decent right backDeserves his chance in the team.If Lustig gets Gamboas place Its criminal..
If u think gamboa can defend God help us m8
He deserves it over lustig but we’re kidding ourselves on if we think gamboa is a good right back he can’t defend at all, his tackling is shocking, hid defensive positioning is abysmal. We have dun and still do need a right back.
Brendan Rogers signed him.
True, awful signing
Don’t know about his defending but Gamboa was the man of the match for me. Never stopped running all afternoon and created two goals. I also though Izzaguire played well also. However I cannot be bothered with this slow possession football with thousands of passes and no end product. Far far too slow.
Oh and can someone tell those two clowns in centre of defence to pass the ball forward to players who actually know what to do with the ball and concentrate more on defending than trying to beat players and making a fool of themselves
Blame the manager for that, that’s how he wants his centre halves to play. Gamboa did well at 2 goals, but his defending was abysmal all game, he mistimed at least 8 tackles in 1st half alone, thistles only attacking success came from attacks and crosses he allowed cos his positioning and awareness at back are so bad. If people think gamboa is the answer were in real trouble. Dreadful signing.
True, awful signing
Shut it Steve.. Six posts criticising the Manager & Gamboa? Away back to Follow Follow ya Hun, your talking pish..
