Mark Wilson has insisted that too many Celtic players have been avoiding responsibility on the pitch to make an impact in recent games.
Back-to-back defeats in the Scottish Premiership mean Celtic now just have a two-point lead at the top of the league table while having played a game more than their Glasgow rivals Rangers.
Celtic have looked scratchy this season but the results have also turned for the worse in recent weeks.
Wilson conceded that too many players in the Celtic team have been coasting along and are not taking responsibility for their individual performances.
The former Bhoy stressed that it took club captain Callum McGregor to step up and push the team in their win over St. Johnstone after a bad first-half performance but admitted that he cannot do it alone all the time.
Wilson said on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard: “People are just shirking responsibility and looking for someone else to do it rather than taking the game by the scruff of the neck.
“It took Callum McGregor, probably in the second half, to take that game by the scruff of the neck at McDiarmid Park to take them back into it.
“But you can’t just rely on one guy all the time and I think too many of the Celtic team have just been happy pushing responsibility elsewhere.”
Celtic will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they host Livingston at Parkhead on Saturday.
