Neil Lennon has been fluid with his team formations in recent weeks. As a result, three central defenders, Efe Ambrose, Kelvin Wilson and Charlie Mulgew could each be regarded as first choice picks, although Ambrose and Mulgrew have also been deployed in midfield. Ambrose has featured in all nine games since the beginning of December, while Wilson has featured in eight and Mulgrew in seven.
Add to the picture the fact that fourth-choice central defender, Thomas Rogne, has appeared in eight of those nine games, missing only the replay against Arbroath, and our central defenders look curiously stretched. Much has been made of the proximity of Efe Ambrose potential involvement in the African Cup of Nations to Celtic’s Champions League tie with Juventus, but the numbers suggest a vacancy exists beyond this tie, hence the recruitment of Rami Gershon, who will join on a six month trial, pending a work permit, with a permanent transfer agreed in principle, pending performance between now and May.
Gershon, 24, has kicked around Standard Liege for three years without making a discernible impact, but he is an experienced international who fits the profile of a non-critical recruit, competing as fourth of fifth choice central defender. His six-month objective will be to secure Thomas Rogne’s place in next season’s squad. The try-before-you-buy strategy we discussed earlier this week will ensure Neil Lennon has a player keen to impress whenever he gets an opportunity. Sound squad management.

Benteke should have had a hat trick by now
Good game this
Left and right in this country are misnomers… Becoming more like Democrat and Republican every day. You couldn’t put a fag paper between them.
Because there’s no real integrity or idealism in either of them. Frame the politics to mass opinion, instead of holding to honestly held views.
Labour? They’re no longer worth the name

I would vote for a independent Glasgow
He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice,
he’s going to find out who’s naughty or nice,
For Jabba is coming to town.
Uly
Lord Mackay got into a hell of a trouble with The Wee Free’s of which he was an attender for going to another law lord’s funeral in the chapel ..( think it was Wheatley)
Lol, Jabba seems to think that Sauron’s XI are being cheated in some way (meaningless season, etc).
Perhaps we should create a full pyramid structure, based on this year’s end of season placements, but with each division containing 10 teams:
– top 10 from SPL (Premiership)
– bottom 2; top 8 from SPL/Div1 (Championship)
– bottom 2; top 8 from div1/div2 (Football League)
Then we could have regional ‘striver’ divisions for the following clubs with specific criteria for admittance to the Football League (say, like, erm, 3 years of audited accounts):
– 2 from div2, 10 from div3 plus East of Scotland and Highland Leagues.
I’m not sure which division the Deadybears would be in though (for another two years).

Bobby Russell happens to be a fully paid up member of the Champagne Express Supporters club of which I’m secretary/ driver / ticket collector / timetable info man / snacks etc….
Other fully paid up founder members include Emusanorphan , Matt-E and Inside Write. We have had some guest visitors ( Namely CRC & Gordon64). Three members of the CESC also happen to be brothers with Russell as a surname. So if Bobby is a hun, then by twisted logic, so am I.
So in summary, square go at 4 O’clock……

what a line from traynor,
doesnt he know she is charlie greens burd –
“It would be easier trying to iron out the lines on the face of the old broad, Madge, in Benidorm”
########
You kind of get the feeling that he hasn’t quite found the right tone with that article.
Its just more of the same hack journalism he’s got away with for years.
I’d like to know what role, if any, Media House have nowadays.
Surely Green isn’t leaving it to Jabba to get the message over?
….PFayr
He did, I think that ended Mackay’s association with that easy going bunch
Jabba on June 13 wrote: “ No matter how Charles Green attempts to dress it up, a newco equals a new club. When the CVA was thrown out Rangers as we know them died.
“They were closed and a newco must start from scratch although their fans will insist the history will be boxed up with the strips and balls and carried into the future with
the new club.”
F****** lol!!!!!!!!

‘Not all is harmony in Engerland

Is that the best the SNP can come up with?
Pathetic.

I’ve always had my suspicions about you
If Jabba is waiting on a response, someone should tell him the BIG clubs are on holiday…

Can someone who dons the white one piece and plastic bag on the shoes tell me, how did The Rangers’ website reflect on the passing of Hugh Adam? Presumably it wasn’t a vehicle for some Murray tenure revisionism a la Herald?
ernie
where did that come from – I was just pointing out a fact -in relation to the post on Stonehouse
I have lived in Engerland for over 40 years and would not give the SNP the time of day even if I lived in Scotland

I’d rather have neither
Gene,
Indeed they do; and there is no dought that “england” has been the source of many contemporary ills.
But, slice it a bit finer. Who was “england” over those times, but a pyramid of sycophants to the chief slug. Aristocrats, we really should put them down. People have been executed for less.
I lived in England for many years, and – on average – you couldn’t meet a better people

They’re aw huns anaw ;-)
Think the best response from PL is to tell us what the board at Celtic think about the proposals and if asked about jabba , just state that he has not read it, then move on
The best reaction from Celtic is no reaction. Don’t give them the oxygen of publicity that they so desperately crave. They are an irrelevance to us and that fact is why they are hurting so bad.
Let them eat static Peter.

Apologies.
Regarding the Lewes thing, saw this comment on, of all things a Millwall supporters website
‘I’ve heard the burn the Catholics chants and seen the burn the Catholics placards.
There wouldn’t be this Bonfire Night thing if we hadn’t burnt 13 of their lot for real about 300 years ago.
I always wacth from outside St Pancras Catholic Church and cheer when the effigy of Guy Fawkes comes by. This I follow with a Monk Chant so they all know I’m Millwall and keep their distance.
Great night but full of prostestant student type nobs and Brighton fans who couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag.
Catholics rule Lewes as we have all the money the other mob are in the cheap houses’
