But there's no doubt the Hoops legend is handing incoming Wilfried Nancy a much happier camp.
The last few weeks have been tougher than a bush tucker trial for the Northern Irishman - but hes earned a giant gold star for keeping the club on track at home and in Europe.

Yang Hyun-Jun tucked away a leveller after a slick move with Luke McCowan and Reo Hatate - before the latter scored after keeper Timon Wellenreuther was rattled by Daizen Maeda.
