What a dead weird agenda you have against him tho. Has to be studied.If that shot would have been on target rather than blocked Patterson would found a way to conjure up an OG.

You’d have to be a right ‘kin divvy. Everyone can see that.Imagine hating a football player because of religion.
Just to confirm, this is the same Ralston that isn’t currently Celtic’s first (Araujo) or second (Donovan) choice right back.Ralston and Hickey can both be described as infinitley superior to Patterson.

They've both been good enough to help get Scotland to the World Cup finals.
Are you suggesting that both Hickey and Ralston are worse than Patterson? You must try and make the case for Patterson to be gracing the World Cup stage...
….i don’t think that’s the lack of physicality, Dave, the lad just doesn’t have the wherewithal to play so he becomes high risk.
Just look at the goal we conceded to Ipswich (I think) at home last season. He goes blindly marauding up the right, clashed with an opponent and is left on the floor, can’t recover and leaving them to exploit the space he’d left and equalise. He’s probably a bright young man but he plays football like he’s a bit daft.
He’ll only play when there’s nobody else available, that’s the reality and nobody is to blame.
That was the day his Everton career ended. Moyes lost faith in him that day and he won’t play here again u less its through necessity.
I do feel he and we didn’t help ourselves with his development, saint it two seasons ago he should have gone out on loan and honed his craft. He hasn’t and soon he will be a mid 20s defender who can’t really make sound defensive decisions well in clutch moments.
Can confirm both Ralston and Hickey played for Celtic earlier in their careers and Patterson initially played for Rangers. I'm fairly sure this has nothing at all to do with Dave's assessment of their footballing abilities....![]()
The player has to want to go out on loan. Does this feller after 3 years of apparent interest from elsewhere to take him on loan seem like he's wanted to do that?
A terrible temperament and a bad trainer is what the rumours are about him. It takes something for a Scottish manager not to go near him. They're notoriously clannish but even Moyes wont entertain him.
Willie Miller's comments on Saturday underline the disconnect between Patterson and professional football at any level. Those comments pretty much cratered Patterson as Miller is a highly respected former pro and international up there and I expect Clarke tonight to ring the changes at RB and Patterson wont start.
1/ Hickey never played for Celtic
2/ I dont support Celtic
3/ Moyes played for Celtic, so....
Ralston - yes, the third choice right back (doesn't even make the bench) for the third best team in Scotland is worse.They've both been good enough to help get Scotland to the World Cup finals.

He was in Celtic Boys Club...that's like calling Pat Nevin a Celtic player.Aaron Hickey played for Celtic between 2014- 2018' so apart from those 4 years you're actually correct Dave...

Utter craziness.
Anyway: Patterson...

You're not getting to claim that after being mugged by a quick Wikipedia search mate! That absolutely does not make him a "Celtic player"! He joined Hearts at 16 ffsSo he was on Celtics books, thanks for admitting that Dave, he just wasn't good enough, where as Patterson played quite a few games for Rangers hmmm..
