The SPFL has released its latest Team of the Week recently and, well, it’s fair to say I do not agree with it one bit.
Well, I do in the sense with the Celtic players that are in the team but there’s many missing out that really shouldn’t be.
Just take a look and ask yourself, where is Olivier Ntcham? Where is Kieran Tierney?
⚽ Congratulations to @CelticFC's Odsonne Edouard 🇫🇷, whose magnificent double has earned him the coveted Star Man 🌟 in our Team of the Week!

I’m not the only one thinking like this either, so let’s see the reaction to the reveal:
Where is Callum McGregor and James Forrest and Tom Rogic from this team?

The Verdict
Would it be fair to have a full eleven of Celtic players? Perhaps not, but I do think we should have more than two.
We won the league by battering Rangers and, as well as that, put on a display that no-one would have lived with.
To only have a pair of Bhoys in the line-up is pretty poor, then, but at least we’ve got our trophies to take our minds off of it.
