[Crosas] Motherwell-Celtic Glasgow

With 0-4 at half time, Celtic won this afternoon against Motherwell with 2-4.

Former Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas (20) made his debut in the starting eleven. Ten minutes before the end, he was replaced by Nakamura.

Since Barcelona can buy Crosas back in the summer of 2010 for two million euro (read more here), this blog will follow the performances of the midfielder over the next two years.

Reading some comments, Crosas had a very good first half but disappeared a little in the second. It's looking good but he apparently needs some more minutes.

Comment on BBC Sport:

"Celtic manager Gordon Strachan raised some eyebrows by leaving out Andreas Hinkel, Paul Hartley, Shunsuke Nakamura and Aiden McGeady. But the new-look midfield, anchored by Marc Crosas in his first start, displayed an energy and inventiveness that had been missing from previous matches this season."

Thats a great idea pep, I am so excited about this barcelona-celtic partnership, this guy may in 2 years worth 20 miliions, so I cant wait that feeling when barcelona get him back for 2 M while other teams are staring with painfull jealousy. Again good move Tkixi!

And Celbar, that was a great post, and a needed update.

he played extremely well in the first half, displaying a great range of passing and vision.

he'll become a regular in the team i have no doubt. i have never seen a player in the middle of our midfield with such ability and i've been going to celtic park for 14 years.

let's hope he plays against aalborg tomorrow night in champions league.

Thanks for that comment, Doffen. Feel free to pop by every now and then to tell us how he's doing (and how the fans rate him).
