Because nobody willingly boots their talisman out on the eve of a massive fixture, without good reason.

Gio does as a scapegoat for performances so far, even though he’s not been involved in most of it.

Could have kept him on bench, not played him but looked for a sale.

Instead, we’ve advertised to all and sundry that we think he’s unfit and has a stinking attitude.

The club is an absolute shambles from boardroom to footballing side.

we’ll sell for 3 million now before window shuts.

Tbf I think any potential buyers could have worked that out for themselves on Saturday

Morelos has broken his silence. He took to his official Instagram account to post a message in Spanish, which translates to: "The best warrior is not the one who always triumphs but the one who fearlessly returns to battle."

Sakala to come off the bench and score the winner. Waka Waka Hey Hey

Sakala likes to attack and have a shot at goal, won't get into our team with that kind of crazy thinking

What’s this about him being drunk? Rumour or leaks or something else?

He was out on the piss twice last week and then turned up to training.

This is what I think too, I'd just rather the club were more upfront about it. If there's been a further incident after the red card then they could easily have kept this in house - at least until after Wednesday night.

Aye. I'm not a fan of our media strategy as you know. But i reckon they thought getting ahead of the story would be better than the media getting wind of Morelos not being on the flight over and a story breaking that way. Although that actually feels like the lesser of the two evils. However it panned out, it's probably always going to be a sideshow before the match.

Sounds like a potential addiction issue, and I'd hope we support him through it if it is, but in the meantime we're doing the right thing by dropping him.

Fuck...

Though if that's true he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad for the Hibs game?

Ffs 

Lets be honest, if that was any other player he would be unanimously hounded by fans

It doesn't mean the club haven't handled it atrociously.

They have broken him back into the team gently like fine china

They've tolerated the fact that he is well out of condition giving him every chance to shape up.

They needed him to do his job on Saturday for just a portion of the game and he let himself and his hard-working colleagues down badly.

The club reflect over the weekend, speak to senior players and, having gauged opinion, reached a decision and announced it.

The timing is unfortunate but that aspect is out of the club’s hands and I would rather they announced their decision as opposed to 48 hours of rumour and speculation as we prepare for the game.

The matter has been addressed and, like Morelos, has been left in Glasgow until after the game.

Which part of that is the most “atrocious”?

[CR3 12,869]

probably just surrounded by the wrong folk in Glasgow especially when he’s on a programme and strict weight-cut. Same folk that take him to daft places like sanctuary and go out drinking in Finnieston. @SkylineBlue @eskbankloyal

I don't trust that the story stays in house mate. Whether that's as a result of the player or someone else.

Going out on the piss twice is hardly an addiction issue. Im pretty sure if he had addiction issues it would have come to light sooner. I personally think his nose is out of joint and he's just acting like a spoilt wee fanny.

At least fucking attempt it rather than rip into the guy publically.

Then you would be complaining about a lack of honesty.

And quite rightly, if he can only handle two nights on the bevvy a week, he should be hounded

Wouldn't be surprised if there's been a 'unacceptable, last chance, won't accept any more shite from you, get your arse in gear, get properly fit and show you belong in that team' type chat.

Then he's been thrown in to the game v Hibs, taking Colak off with today in mind, and hoping the words have had an effect, gets a reaction and he puts in a shift.

Instead he flails and arm, gets a stupid red card and laughs about it coming off the pitch.

Last straw, binned.

For him to come out and say "no I haven't"?!?! That would be worse imo

[cascadeshrimp 1,545]

These days clubs are all over the sports science thing,there will be hydration tests (prob every training day) and IF he's turned up 1/2 cut then thats unforgivable for a player looking for fitness and condition

We need to bring ALL our attacking talent to bear on PSV tomorrow night and the wee mans fucked it for himself and us if the bevy stories are true
