Looks like its going to be his turn for a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Whereas Benkovic…<\/p>\n
He was on target with 82 of his 86 passes on the night, which is good for a 95 per cent completion rate. He also won two tackles but one stat in particular is sure to catch the eye.<\/p>\n
Benkovic recovered 10 balls on the night, which is a truly staggering number. To put that into context, skipper Scott Brown only managed one on the night and no one else in the Hoops team had more than four.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The manager was happy. Or relieved. Or even surprised..<\/p>\n \u201cI am very happy, it was a great win in relation to spirit and persistence to go to the very end.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt was against a Rosenborg team who had won nine and drawn two so they came with a real confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThey surprised us a little bit for first 20 minutes, they played a diamond and they had never played that when we had analysed them but once we found the balance to play against that we started to come into the game.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWithout being at the top of the game, we kept going.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI said to the players last week that we had to find a way to win, that\u2019s why we are here and the players did that.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSo we will take the three points. I am really pleased.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n At some point he’ll realise that a raw Oddsone Edoaurd up front on his own doesn’t work, and he needs to either play him alongside Griffiths or not at all.<\/p>\n He’s starting to take on that stubborn streak that was in most of our previous managers, where they come up with an idea and stick to it, even though its obviously not working.<\/p>\n Sure, Celtic made a profit on Dembele, and he did score now and then, but lets remeber that Griffiths had just completed a forty goal season, a phenomenal return, and had every right to down tools.<\/p>\n He didn’t, and last night may have been him picking them up again, long term.<\/p>\n his reaction to his goal was to point to the badge and tell us he was number one. The perfect attitude.<\/p>\n He said after wards..<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a lot of frustration in the celebration. It\u2019s a big weight off my mind.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done it for years though. I don\u2019t know why people keep doubting me and say I can\u2019t score goals in the big occasion.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve done it in the Champions League, the Europa League, the League Cup, the Scottish Cup and the league.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere are still people doubting me and saying I can\u2019t do this and that. But I keep shutting people up.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating when people say \u2018he can\u2019t do this or that\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cUltimately, it\u2019s about getting three points for the team and that\u2019s what I\u2019m good at. I want to be No1 striker here \u2013 no doubt about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n as i said yesterday, its either very good man management, or very bad…<\/p>\n Just a shame there was no one in the directors box to see it…<\/p>\n The police kept a low profile last night, by all accounts, but they will be implementing a new procedure next month..<\/p>\n Today is Friday, and of course that means<\/p>\n Probably the most convincing winner of all time…George Peat.<\/p>\n There’s little to say about this man that hasn’t already been said before, so a simple picture from the 1995 Cup final, during his Airdrie days should suffice, as it tells us all we want to know about the man…<\/p>\n The speed with which he took a job on the board at Stenhousemuir after Airdrie were sent donw by David Murray tells me his expression may not entirely be because Airdrie lost…<\/p>\n Yesterday, we showed this picture..<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Dnj0zBwW4AAKE7q.jpg\")
