Who's peoples number 1 right back Mathews or Lustig?

Didn't rate Lustig at start but really turned things around for me so much so I would chose him. Better in air, tackle and final ball. Still think Mathews a smashing player.

I like both and I’m glad we have healthy competition at right back. Matthews can cope well at left back and was my Man of the Match when we beat Barcelona 2-1 at Celtic Park

I like both and reckon our style of play with Mathews on right wing should be utilised more, lustig and him link up well

Mathews gets well forward but his final ball let's him down at times, ac Milan away it was shocking

Lustig RB, Matthews RM everyday of the week.

As a rb Lustig is the one I would pick, I think Mathews is a great player and I hope we hold on to both of them. let's not forget Darnell Fisher and if I had my way the whole Celtic team would have fresh prince hair do's. mark

Spot on HB. We were at our best with both lads starting down the right.

I like both. Probably the only position we have real competition for a starting slot especially with Ledley on his way out.

@RoryBlair I'd have those two on the right hand side of the team ahead of Forrest 11 times out of 10.

Mark, I think stoksey would die for a fresh prince hair-do ;) HB, I agree. The wee man from Prestwick should be moved on in the summer if he can't get his finger out!

Matthews at right back and Lustig on right wing. It's a no brainer. Matthews cannot finish with a cross so waste of time there. Lustig can cross, beat defenders and score goals.
I posted my team 12 hours before CL game and had both players on the right whilst everyone was debating which one for rb. The team was 100% the same as Lenny later picked.

A quick update on the situation. If you know anyone who is part of the 128 please let them know the details in this post. It's obviously not ideal with the game tomorrow so hopefully we're able to reach everyone so they can decide what to do.

As it stands the vast majority of those 128 are now unbanned. Celtic have sent out a recorded delivery letter which folk are receiving today. The letter states that you will be given paper tickets for the Hearts and Partick Thistle games, after which point you will be given the option of relocating to a permanent seat elsewhere in the ground or a refund on remaining games.

If you intend to take the relocation then there is no further action required, apart from organising a new seat elsewhere in the stadium with the Ticket Office.

However if you do not wish to take the relocation then it is very important how you proceed. It appears as though the club are trying to skirt their way out of giving a proper refund, only giving you the option of taking after the Hearts and Thistle games. It's quite typical of how they are operating at the moment but that we've come to expect that. We are advising all those who wish to take up a refund NOT to use the Hearts and Partick Thistle tickets the club send out. Keep them safe and unused. We will be seeking a full refund as offered to those 250 others when they were forcibly relocated after Motherwell. If you use your Hearts tickets you are in effect accepting Celtic's conditions so it is important that this information reaches all those affected.

We expect a small number to still be "suspended pending further investigation" and if this is the case for you we ask that you please get in touch with us ASAP.

Give it a rest HB, nobody cares about the GB. All we care about is Celtic but your fascination with them over our great club is puzzling. Celtic are why I go the games, not the GB. They have been given warning after warning and still continue to stain the name of our great club and punish us financially when we are already at a disadvantage. Try putting your efforts into supporting the team and perhaps with more people doing this we won;t need a 'singing section' as the whole stadium will be bouncing like it used to be

So you speak for the majority Marty? Would this be the same majority who were "offended" by the display against Milan and "sick of it" in Liewell's statement? The "majority" that was only 54 complaints - 19 in person, 29 by email and only 6 phoned to complain. And those figures were confirmed by Celtic SLO JP Taylor. Maybe you don't care about innocent fans being banned for no apparent reason, but others do. So if you don't like it, don't read it. Instead of commenting that nobody cares!

Has it not been established now that the GB were not to blame for the motherwell fiasco? I think they have been persecuted for the political banners that have been displayed & the rebel songs! Saying that, UEFA have made it clear that political statements have no place in the football ground. I don't agree with this but rules are rules & the club are being punished. It's about time this was sorted out because Celtic supporters should be united, not taking pot-shots at each other!

HB I believe nobody does care about the GB. This is a Celtic forum and we go to the games to watch Celtic so the GB mean nothing in that regard. Let's be clear though, they are not innocent by any stretch. Perhaps Motherwell was not their members but what about the countless other fines we have recieved because of their misdemeanours? They were good initially but the have got too big for their boots now and think they are Celtic and if they can't follow the rules of the land like everyone else then they should go. 90% of members look like 16-25 neds anyway who were not even born when the things they are protesting about actually took place. Stick to talking about Celtic as this is our common love and why we are on here. Perhaps Ed can set up a seperate GB page and you can have discussions with others who case us much about this as you do and let the rest of us stick to Celtic

@Marty Your post just lost all credibility when you stated "90% of members look like 16-25 neds" - That shows how little you know! As I've said already, you believe you speak for the majority by saying NOBODY, I believe you should rethink you should go back to wetting your bed while eating your prawn sandwich.

Was there not a poll put up about the GB and what fans Thot

Ahhh nice come back. You obviously can't have a civilsed discussion mate so you carry on as perhaps this has shown that you may be one of those 16-25 neds that I mentioned. You totally ignore my points about the fines as this is why they need to go. Without them causing harm to Celtic I would have no issue with the GB as they create a good atmosphere. If you want to support a group that have brought shame on Celtic on a number of occasions and have cost us hundeds of thousand of pounds in fines then batter in but that says a lot about you. And let me assure you mate I sing my heart out when I go to Celtic Park so no prawn sandwich here. martyc1888

I see Celtic are not opening any of the top sections of Parkhead for the Scottish cup tie against Aberdeen . I would have thought we would have got a decent crowd considering tickets are £15 and Aberdeen usually bring a decent support . Bit pi**ed off I've got to change my seat as I sit in the top section north stand and I don't know where I'm going to be placed . Also think they could have held off the selling of tickets to after the new year till people get back on their feet again but what do I know, I'm only a fan . DH

The public relations between club and support is really strained at present and they need a wee reminder not to take the fans for granted. E-mail them?

Mikael Lustig is to miss the next four months of 2014 after going under the knife to correct a long-standing hip problem.

The Celtic defender had a double procedure to cure the injury, ruling him out until the closing stages of the 2013/14 season.
