Kris Commons didn’t miss Jozo Simunovic and Dedryck Boyata as he reviewed Celtic’s 4-0 defeat at Tynecastle.
Former team-mates that move into the media can usually be relied on for the soft soap treatment to overlook mistakes.
Commons covered the game for Sky Sports as Celtic fans looked on as their central defenders were turned inside out by a mid-table SPFL outfit.
Brendan Rodgers already has plans underway for the January transfer window with Commons blunt about the source of Celtic’s problems.
“Dedryck Boyata looked like a nervous wreck in the face of it,” the former Celtic midfielder told the Daily Mail. “And that is the worst I have seen Jozo Simunovic play. I firmly believe Celtic’s 69-game domestic run is something that will never happen again. It is there in the history books as a truly outstanding achievement and will last the test of time.
“No-one, though, could ever have thought it would be stopped in this manner. It was almost humiliating in the end.
“There were a countless number of errors. Hearts pressed, won the ball and drove at the weakest part of the Celtic team — the centre of defence.”
Marvin Compper is expected to undergo a medical today with Rodgers likely to bring in one more defender during the January transfer window,
The 32-year-old is expected to cost around one million eurps with that fee and more likely to be recouped by the sale of Erik Sviatchenko.
