Hugh Keevins has suggested that there are two players in the Celtic squad who are not up to the standard of the Scottish Premiership.
It has been a disastrous start to life at Celtic for Wilfried Nancy, who has lost all of his first four games in charge.
Performances have nosedived and there are already suggestions that Nancy could be sacked if he loses to Aberdeen.
Several players have been abject to say the least, but Keevins named two in particular who he thinks are not up to the standards of the league, never mind Celtic.

You have £20m to spend in the January transfer window. How are you spending it?
The two Celtic players Hugh Keevins thinks aren’t good enough
Celtic have been a shambles defensively since Nancy took charge, but they have been equally as bad up front.
Johnny Kenny led the line in the midweek loss against Dundee United but missed two glorious chances.
He was withdrawn for Shin Yamada, the only other fit striker in the squad, but he did no better.
Frustration was at an all-time high, and Keevins thinks neither of the two are good enough to play for a side in the Scottish top flight.
“Johnny Kenny was humiliated at Tannadice in midweek – palpably out of his depth up front for Celtic and proving that was the case by missing sitter after sitter,” he wrote in his Daily Record column.
“He is not even a Premiership player, far less a Celtic player. Kenny was then replaced by Shin Yamada, who’s even worse.”
Celtic have failed Wilfried Nancy if they don’t give him what he needs
Thankfully, the January transfer window is edging closer and closer, which means that the chance to address that problem is not far away.
While Nancy’s position is under threat, there will still be plans to back him in the market.
As well as other positions, it is clear that a proven goalscorer is needed to give the team some extra bite in attack.
Can Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic spell be salvaged by a good transfer window?
Someone who can lead the line consistently too, as there has been far too much chopping and changing in that number nine spot.
It may mean paying a healthy sum, but this is the price you pay when you don’t prepare properly.
