Two years ago I had a memorable journey from one end of Poland to the other, mostly in silent prayer that our man from Poland would slow down, to check out a few footballers, including Wisla Krakow striker, Pawel Brozek, who obliged with a goal.
Pawel has played mostly as a lone striker, he can hold the ball up and bring others into the game. He’s not a particularly tricky player but he has good positional sense inside the box. His move to Trabzonspor last year hasn’t worked out well as he has played back up to scoring sensation, Burak Yilmaz, who is averaging better than a goal per game in the league this season. Brozek’s record at Wisla was comparable to Maciej Zurawski, who he replaced as top striker in the league.
The Polish CQN brigade told me Celtic should move for Pawel and his twin brother before Trabzonspor signed them. When news leaked that Pawel was a target to replace ex-Rangers player (too soon?) Nikica Jelavic our man in Poland suggested he would pick up a lot of points for Rangers in the SPL.
If he comes to Celtic on a six month loan both parties will have plenty of opportunity to figure out if there is long term fit. In the meantime, should Pawel arrive we have someone to put pressure on Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes and the Cheeky Chappie will have to consider his next move (again, too soon?).
On the subject of Jelavic…. Remember in August 2010 when we were told he “effectively went on strike” to engineer his escape from Rapid Vienna after the player declared he wasn’t able to face Aston Villa? I hear he’s unable to play against Hibs this afternoon.

Bourne is setting up the gazebo at the No 10 Hotel on Queens Drive, just off Cathcart Road. 5 min walk to Hampden.
Maybe see you in there?
Jobo – at the Rankers end side you have Clockwork on Cathcart Road at the Railway Bridge and what was called The Florida Park just on Battlefield Road opposite the high flats – not sure of persuasion of each but as that mob are not in the Cup you shouldn’t need to worry
I also think that if the Celts win today we should get three points and a place in the final.
For the horsey types – David Pipe sends over a rare English raider to Leopardstown today. Not a great price, but worth a look….Notus De La Tour in the 13:25.

Jobo / Kelvinbhoy,
Clockwork no chance unless there for opening, Florida Park right hun hole. Best bet Victoria road / Polokshaws rd, full of Tim boozers and a fifteen minute walk away.
