67 Hail Hail fans have had their say on TalkingPoints about Reo Hatate’s place in the starting XI for the game against Hearts this weekend.
Hatate was sent off against Bologna after receiving two yellow cards in three minutes for poorly timed challenges.
Martin O’Neill was adamant that the red was harsh but it means he will now miss the final game of the first phase of the Europa League against FC Utrecht.
He is eligible to play against Hearts on Sunday, but do supporters think that he should play? You guys had your say on TalkingPoints and those who haven’t can still join the conversation.

67 Hail Hail fans don’t want Reo Hatate to start against Hearts
Tiredness may play a part in O’Neill’s selection after Celtic were forced to play with 10 men for over an hour.
That was down to Hatate’s actions, even if he will be one of the fresher players going into the top of the table clash.
However, fans think he should be dropped and relegated to a place on the bench.
One fan said: “Deffo drop. Doesn’t do enough.”
Another commented: Drop and sell.”
A third wrote: “Would have dropped him long ago and now he is a liability for Sunday for sure.”
Is this Reo Hatate’s last season at Celtic?
Every summer, Hatate is linked with a move away from Celtic.
But, is this the year he actually goes?
At the age of 28, the midfielder probably has one last move in him before reaching the latter stages of his career.
How much would you sell Reo Hatate for?
On his day, he is unstoppable but those days don’t come around enough. If a rebuild is to happen, then maybe Hatate should be one of those to be sacrificed.
