MARK WILSON is a player I like and he is someone who gives his all in every match. But Sunday showed why he can't play at left-back.

That isn't a criticism of him - I could never play right-back in my career - and it's because if you are naturally one-footed, as Wilson is and I was, you lose a yard of pace when you try to tackle with the opposite foot.

Daniel Cousin ripped him apart at the first goal in the Old Firm game because Wilson didn't want to tackle with his weaker foot and he never had time to get his other leg across. Jan had to see red AFTER a spell in which we have had to endure all sorts of nonsense about referees, I thought Dougie McDonald had an excellent game on Sunday.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink had to go, in my opinion. When you lift your hands or your feet, or retaliate in any way, shape or form, then you cannot be surprised when you see a red card. As an experienced player, he should have known better.

Daniel Cousin, I thought, was unlucky to be sent off. I didn't think there was too much in it and a warning would have sufficed. That Vennegoor of Hesselink lashed out just a minute after Cousin's dismissal also made the referee's decision easy.

That is always the danger of playing someone who isn't naturally suited to that position.

And when you see just how difficult it has been for Andreas Hinkel to settle, you have to feel that it's time for Wilson to be given a crack on the right.

Hinkel has had a bit of a nightmare since he arrived in January and his confidence looks as though it has taken a bit of a dip.

The danger is the same thing happens to Wilson now.

Hinkel - surprisingly recalled to the Germany squad - hasn't looked comfortable at all defensively. He has looked better going forward, but too often he is caught out by basic balls over the top and Wilson should be put in there for the time being.

The guy who will really be troubled this week, though, is Artur Boruc.

I'm not about to jump on the bandwagon and slaughter the guy. But I do think that it is time for him to sit down, take stock and think about the direction his career is moving in.

He will miss out on two Poland caps because of his antics when he was last away with his national side. And at the back of his mind he'll be worried about losing his place.

There will be, I suspect, a few people taking a bit of glee at pointing the finger at him and having a go. But I don't doubt his ability. I just think that it's time for his to mature a bit.

I have said my piece in the past about some of his antics on the park, but he just had a bad day on Sunday and it couldn't have come at a worst possible time for him. That it came on the back of a week in which he was in the headlines for his lifestyle and what is going on off the park, a poor performance in such a massive game was always going to come back and bite him.

In a way this break might be the best thing for him. It will give him the chance to get his head down and get his focus back on what really matters.

You know, some people really do have short memories. I was listening to some of the phone-ins when I was driving home from the game and couldn't believe what I was hearing.

People calling for Gordon Strachan's head need a reality check. Yes, it was disappointing. The way Celtic were outplayed in the second period was disappointing. To lose ground in the title race was disappointing.

But sack the manager? He has won three titles and twice made it to the last 16 of the Champions League. It is time for everyone to calm down a little.

Celtic clawed back the title after being told they were dead and buried last season.

Losing Sunday's game doesn't mean that all is lost at this stage - there is a long way to go yet. Break blow for Hoops

THE international break is the worst thing possible for Celtic.

When you lose the way they did on Sunday you want to get back on the park as quickly as possible and fix things by getting three points.

But now the focus falls on George Burley's side and, trust me, it'll be hard for the Celtic guys who are away with Scotland over the next 10 days.

They have to put their domestic disappointment to one side and focus on getting the World Cup campaign off to a winning start against Macedonia and Iceland.

But they'll have to accept all the talk about the game and stomach it as things are dissected in the papers and with the rest of the international squad, because players do talk about it.

By the time the Scotland games come around they will be fully focused.

We start off with two away games which is tough, but there is no reason why they cannot come back with at least four points.

It would get the campaign off to an ideal start and also get a bit of confidence into George Burley's team.
