He’s only started four competitive games for Celtic, but by the looks of things supporters have seen enough of goalkeeper Dorus de Vries.
Having worked with manager Brendan Rodgers previously at Swansea, the veteran Dutch stopper joined the Hoops last month, and has taken previous No.1 Craig Gordon’s spot in the first-team.
But having been reasonably untested against Aberdeen and Rangers domestically, de Vries went into today’s Scottish Premiership tie against Inverness needing a big performance to cement his spot in the side after conceding seven against Barcelona in midweek.
Unfortunately for him, with Celtic leading 1-0, Inverness midfielder Billy King seemed to catch the 35-year-old out with an ambitious strike from out wide.
De Vries seemed to get a glove on it, but couldn’t keep it out, and probably could’ve done better.
A LOT of fans weren’t best pleased on social media:
Logan Bailly is better than Dorus De Vries ffs

Celtic for the first time in a long time look capable of winning the Treble this Season but if BR persists with de Vries he'll cost them it.

This DeVries just isny good enuf! Made mistakes in just about every game so far. Craig Gordon back between the sticks asap!

Can see how it would have been given though. Poor from Celtic. De Vries less than convincing once again.

De Vries is a big wall puncher

If De Vries is that good with a ball at his feet, play him at centre half and put a proper keeper in nets

De Vries really doesn't look good enough

If Brendan is sober McGregor and De Vries will come off at HT

De vries is pish ? Craig Gordon for me
— Stephen McCarthy (@stevie_mc22) September 18, 2016
What do you think? Should Gordon be reinstated? Or does de Vries just need a bit more time to be bedded in?
