GIVEN: 'THEY HAVE GOT SOME STAR PLAYERS'
Shay Given speaking to TNT Sports on Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner: "I think that could be the best transfer business, first and foremost: get him signed up. I don't even know if that's on the table or if Oliver has said, 'I've got thoughts of going somewhere else.
"But of course, January is only a couple of weeks away, and he's given that warning shot only a couple of weeks ago after the Man United game.
"Maybe they will back him in January and that might persuade him to stay longer term because they've got a great chance in this tournament to go all the way and win it.
"They're fourth at the moment, they’re dreaming of Champions League qualification. Then they will have to strengthen the squad. I've said before: the job this manager has done, the money they've spent, the players' they've lost. Eze and co.
"Guehi, to see him and Wharton in person. They've got some star players. When you see him live in the flesh, he's got a picture in his head, he plays it forward every time. The weight of his pass, he is such a talented player.

CELTIC STRUGGLE 'BREAKS MY HEART' SAYS JOE HART
Roma secured a 3-0 win over home side Celtic in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Former Celtic player Johan Mjallby was deeply unimpressed with how Wilfried Nancy had failed to match the Italians' energetic approach. Another former player, Joe Hart, said that problems were showing up on and off the pitch, and said that the atmosphere was not what he remembered.

22:29
HART: 'IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A STROLL IN THE PARK AND IT CAN'T BE LIKE THAT'
More from Joe Hart on Celtic's performance: "You’ve got to have understanding in these situations. Understanding with the manager, new systems, but it’s nothing new.
"And it’s not an excuse, you can’t use it as an excuse. You’ve got to be out on that pitch, taking the game by the scruff of the neck. People have come and they’ve won in Europe.
"Roma, a bigger club, they’ve got a far bigger budget, look at the bench they had. I’ve lost games here, and I know that I’ve lost games because the other teams had to play at a real level to beat us.
"They’ve had to physically step up, their fans have had to step up. I think they’ll be saying tonight, in that away end, ‘I don’t know what all the fuss was about’.
"I didn’t see anyone really celebrating the goals, and it hurt to see. It just seemed like a stroll in the park and it can’t be like that. This is such a special place to play football, and these players need to remember that and the manager needs to realise that quickly.

HART: 'THE SIMPLE STUFF EVADED CELTIC'
Joe Hart speaking to TNT Sports on Celtic's dismal night: "That first half was really difficult to watch. I know I’ve got to be neutral when I’m up there [on commentary], but I just felt so much tension in my body watching the game, and you felt it in the stadium, and on the pitch as well.
"They [Celtic players] just didn’t believe in what they were doing. The simple stuff evaded them.
"It’s all very well and good pointing at a new manager and a new system, but I just didn’t see any fight, any desire, which is what you need on a European night.
"A European night on Celtic Park, you get that energy, you get that special power. It was zapped out of them tonight, really disheartening to see."

HUTTON AND DODDS DISSECT RANGERS PERFORMANCE AND DEFENSIVE 'FRAILTY'
Poor defending cost Rangers three points at Ferencvaros on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League. Rangers took a first-half lead, but the scores were level at the end of the half, and they conceded a costly second goal in the second period. Alan Hutton and Billy Dodds were left deeply concerned by Rangers' chances of improving their defence in the coming weeks.

GLASNER: 'IT WAS TIME FOR UCHE. HE DESERVED IT'
Oliver Glasner speaking to TNT Sports: Credit to the players, to the team, for the attitude today. As you mentioned, the pitch was not really in the best condition, the weather, playing against a team who wanted to show up.
"We played a very good game in the first half, scoring some nice goals. We spoke at half-time, to keep the pace high, and we created many chances but unfortunately we missed a few. But the team defended deep. We created so many chances, scored three goals and kept a clean sheet, so a very good night for us.
On Christhantus Uche: For a striker, always the most important thing is scoring goals but he also assisted one. It was time for Uche, he deserved it. He showed up against Fulham. He showed he can help us and score goals. It's a starting moment for him at Crystal Palace.
On the upcoming game against Manchester City: Also they had a game yesterday against Real Madrid, so maybe almost the same circumstances. Yes they have one more day to rest, but it's our challenge and it's time for us to get the win. I've said to the players that we will go for the win against City. Enjoy the evening and start preparing for Manchester City.
