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.

Reminds me of the title clincher v St Mirren in 2001. Never seen such a one-sided game produce so little in terms of goals and yet provide so much in terms of sheer unadulterated joy.
The deal is done with the big Pole according to Clyde

GCT – get well soon and take it easy.
Kit – well said, what’s in the past should stay there. I was going to say this is just a football blog and people will fall out now and again, but we both know this one can make a big difference sometimes!

Celtic have completed the signing of Pawel Brozek, the Polish striker Rangers had hoped to sign this weekend.
Wasn’t that bothered about the result at Anfield till one of the commentators it was Celtic v Rangers
From then on…
I only wanted one winner,
Hibs miss a sitter Rangers go up the park and score through Davis
ffs
Kilmarnock won 1-0.
HUN goes ahead
rfc minimal attacking threat first 25mins
if hibs get one, bye bye alistair murdoch mccoist mbe
baws bust
:)
spoke too soon – goal by davis, nice finish, typical davis
2nd time he’s burst thro so far in the game
but hibs came close 2mins beforehand
1-0 for rfc
He’s clearly looking for the Secretary of State to authorise his release now.
“The point is that as Walter says, we are heading back to early eighties spending, whereas they are still spending at a much more current market rate. They are not obviously spending EPL amounts as they don’t have the cash, but they are easily outspending everybody else. As Walter implies, how is that fair and what does it do for Scottish football?
What about that season when Hearts never won the league, and lost it on the last ten minutes of the last game??? You don’t have to hate Celtic to see that Hearts were the best of a very bad bunch that year. And oh yes…the very same pre-Souness years that Walter was talking about.
Football in Scotland needs to be restructured but that is a very different matter altogether.”
Big Nan, all about timing…..
Notthebus – nice link.
Quite a few finishes that were Larssonesque in class.
rfc time-wastin already – 35mins in
For one of the Bhoys in the occupied six counties, just saw Michael O’Neill interviewed on BBC at half time in the League Cup final up there. Is he a Hun?
Hibernian are a poor lot if they stay up this season it will really show how poor the SPL really is.There defence is virtualy non existant if the orcs dont win by 3 or 4 today I will be surprised.H.H.
Just watched Pawel Brozek “Top 50” (not 8) goals on Youtube – yeah OK we’ll have him.
2 Bottles of Asti spumante and 6 sausage rolls for sale.

Someone should really remind this eejit that the Huns have spent more money than the rest of the Premier League clubs together, including Celtic, in the past five years.
It really is sad that these people are so deluded.

Absolutely not. I met him at a Chirsty Moore concert in Embra in early 96 when he was still with Hibs and perpetually linked with a move to us (as a replacement for John Collins). From the conversation we had, Id say he was probably personally disappointed that the mooted move never happened. (Professionally disappointed too perhaps, as his career sort of petered out after Coventry, although did he have a bad injury maybe…? I can’t remember.)
ooo
doyke a whisker away inside 6yrds
just couldnt reach the cross ball
Who is that commentator on the Orc game? Talk about excited when Rangers get the ball. This boy doesn’t need a rubber doll, he just needs replays of Rangers games. Goian, who has just been booked for obstruction, has been just called a most unfortunate player, as the Hibs player should have been booked instead. Diddums, Apparently this is good Rangers football, but this Hibs side could easily have been level, and they must be the worst side in the SPL.
doyle
Hibs started like they were scared witless. Now they seem to have woken up to the fact that they are supposed to compete if they want to win.
Quote from commentator referring to a defender as the ‘Granite Goian’. Wonder which club’s coverage I am streamed into?
rfc match on vipbox.tv anyone interested for 2nd half
via rfc tv, prob tom miller but sound on mute
Brozek signs for Celtic… According to Speirs on twitter?
i’d take off hibs big 24 and put a striker on in his place

Again, some really good points:
-they are heading (at best) back to the early 80s spending.
-Hearts lost the league just before Souness arrived.
-Football in Scotland does need restructured.
btw, the orcs have spent more than us this season :-)
