With Logan Bailly out injured, Celtic are down to two keepers, Craig Gordon (33) and Leo Fasan (22). That’s insufficient for the months ahead, which will see the club play eight European games, the visit of our perennial league rivals, Aberdeen later this month, as well as seeing the League Cup come to a conclusion.
So the reasoning behind Dorus de Vries (35) pitching up for a medial at Ross Hall this morning is clear. What remains to be seen, is whether Brendan Rodgers reckons the Dutchman, whom he won promotion with at Swansea, is a safer pair of hands than Craig Gordon.
de Vries won Notting Forest supporters’ Player of the Year last season, a significant accolade for a keeper, so Stevie Woods can look forward to working with a genuine contender for first choice.
As we witnessed even against an outclassed Motherwell on Wednesday, defending corner kicks remains a problem for Celtic, which will again cost us dearly in Europe if the issue is not resolved. How Dorus matches up in this area may well determine who gets the nod.
A word on Darnell Fisher. He has the talent to perform more than adequately for Alan Stubbs at Rotherham, but he was judged not to have sufficient enthusiasm for getting back to do his day job, after venturing forward to assist attacks, which finished him at Celtic.
In this respect he didn’t fit the Ronny model, but the next generation of young full backs have come through having learned a lesson.

The Brexit one. Unbelievable stuff.
Their campaign leaders thought we could glibly negotiate deals with individual EU states,walk into the EEA/EFTA,cherrypick the best bits and dump the rest.
Eerily reminiscent of a deid team which is now on life support.

Knowing the BBC I wouldn’t put it past them doing something like that for real!
Agree about Sevco – they HAVE to win today. Otherwise the whole “we are back, going for 55” guff is dead two weeks into the season, and that simply won’t be allowed.
Wonder what the odds are for penalties, red cards…..
Also forgot
Have a great day Jobo
Hope the sun shines on you, and the family

Offski,this beer disnae drink itself. Already late on parade.
Butsybhoy I that’s the package I have
.very good but still would like to have some Sky Sports stuff. Big Kahauna is what I have with Virgin.
So the Warbmeister was asked at presser if us buying Sinclair was “a compliment to Sevco”??
Inside The SPFL @AgentScotland 10m10 minutes ago
Clint Hill & Niki Kranjćar dropped from The Rangers first team already, both high earners, the right choice by Warburton but poor signings.
Smiling over my morning coffee and looking forward to an interesting match up v Inter Milan this evening and an ideal warm up for Wednesday
All theist to you and your family today Jobo:))
I hope you arranged the weather!

Jobo: Best of luck today.

Condolences buddy.
EmbraMike. It’s a huge compliment to Sevco and their upcoming challenge. Having Sinclair will mean we’ll take 3 pts off most of The Zombies challengers for relegation. Warbo must be delighted at the compliment.

I know, Its all very embarrassing for them, It will only last as long as the bubble bursts, If they drop anything today, I’d imagine the Joey watch will be binned. Truth has been binned at the bbc for a long time, all about attention seeking, No better than the tabloid now, Sport wise anyway, There are still lots of really good stuff covered by them but if they are so easy to lead agenda wise in the football anything is possible i suppose.
We live in interesting times.

Who’s the ref up there today…anyone know? It’s just that some are more incompetent than others…know what I mean?

Thomson.
Young master Dallas has yet another Premiership game too.
Re the bbc…I’m informed that although the head of sport (at present) is a Tim, he is a soft touch and it is the Huns ‘Dick’ Wilson and John Barnes that set the agenda…
BCW…Arrrrgh…
Know what I mean?
Wee change of topic to digest.
Mind the days when you dipped your digestive in your tea or coffee and it turned to a mush at the bottom of your mug. WTF do they put in them now that after 10 minutes at bottom of mug the thing is whole and I can still read Digestive on the biscuit.
Nae wonder celiac disease is on the increase!

Coeliac disease is a common digestive condition where a person has an adverse reaction to gluten.
Eating foods containing gluten can trigger a range of symptoms, such as:
diarrhoea, which may smell particularly unpleasant
…which MAY?? smell particularly unpleasant…ffs

BSR may crumble under that pressure. :-]

MWD…BSR may crumble under that pressure.
If that’s the case, then I suggest he has a wee relaxing cup of tea and a digestive biscuit…
…then a visit to the cludgie, clothespeg at the ready…

I hope you and your family all have a fantastic day.

A wee prayer has been said for all you mentioned.
1-0 huns.
Dundee will be relegation candidates on this showing.
Hull v Leicester it is then.
Dundee will have the heads down after selling their top player. The huns playing them at the perfect time. Its early and they are stuffy at home. Plenty of time.

Hark!!! Did I hear a rendition or 2 of that banned ditty the Billy Boys?

Had a wee read back there…sympathies sir…life doesn’t mess about…
