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.

I never bet on outcomes of matches but I just can’t say no to the 15/2 on offer for both teams to score and a Dundee win.

I was getting so frustrated Thursday night trying to get My Big Sis Co her music on to her new Apple device.
She got a receipt for the £25 she spent to get music for her Device.
I’ve never had an Apple product in my Life (apart from the one MG gave me) and I was clueless. I was getting frustrated.
It was Wonderful just giving the jibber jabber with Co and Mum. Mums just always saying I’d sort it out But I couldn’t sort it out.
a few hours later I asked Co if she had been given a card…..
She says yes… it was under a bit of paper right in front of me.
God is so Amazing.
One of the trax that OrinoCo flow Co wanted on her device was This.
Co shouldn’t even be here because of Everything she went through as a BABY to just Survive.

C’mon SNP push for better Money being fed into the Scottish Game now that Theresa May is wanting to Unify This ISLAND.
Now that should equate to £500Million over the 3 years.
Talk about being Selfish and Self Centred?
Football is the National Game in Scotland. It has been treated with UTTER disdain.
Feck we are not greedy Barstewards, £200Mill will do Wonders for the Populace that LOVE fitba.
A Hun Lifeline? :))
Not interested in the New Club in the slightest.
Come on the Ross County.
Get top 4 Jim.
G’night
PETEC@2:19
How do you square giving millions to football, which will probably all go on players’ transfer fees and wages – when the likes of BHS shop workers are losing jobs which pay in a year, what football players earn in a month, sometimes even in a week?
Petec, good morning.

Morning Bhoys & Hail Hail
We are on the verge of greatness.
A quality defensive midfielder will get us there
Yeeeee ha
Good morning friends from a cloudy but dry and fairly bright East Kilbride.
On 13th August 1988 I was the happiest, luckiest man on Earth when I tied the knot with Mrs Baldie.Exactly 28 years later to the day and it’s my Father of The Bride moment at 2pm this afternoon when my most gorgeous Ghirl marries her wonderful man. Love, joy and a lifetime of happiness. Life’s Good!
But let’s talk aboot the fitba’ ;-)
All the very best to the whole JB family today
No way you will forget both anniversaries, excellent planning, even Celtic planned a wee friendly so no important game is missed
Best of luck Jobo
Ah, sure now, is he not just one of our own …..
https://t.co/UhkZmwgQg5
Jobo, all the best to you and yours! I assume there will be no park run for you today?
Cheers, Gerry
JMCCORMICK – thought it wise to give ParkRun a miss this week:-) Just about to start my task listt hat’s as long as my arm.
JOBO BALDIE
Hope all goes well and you and your family
have a fantastic day.
Good luck today Jobo. Just remember the bride’s veil is supposed to be covering her face when she comes down the aisle! 22 years later my wife still ‘ reminds’ me!!
Jobo
All rhe best to your daughter and future hub.
Hope all the Baldea have a great day
HH

“hats as long as your arm”
Is that a magic hat?
Have a great anniversary and good luck to your daughter and her man.
MWD
MWD –
Would you kindly accept my apology for my completely unprovoked and unwarranted attack on you the other night? I don’t like making enemies of good Tims and in your case, I take full responsibility for that.
I can’t even remember how or when our differences started, but maybe it’s time to call a truce.
Life’s too short and I hope we can bury the hatchet.
Hail Hail
Butsybhoy,could I please ask what package you are getting with B T Sports,I pay 59 pounds a month ,but no sky sports with Virgin,71 pounds with the full package sounds good to me,was with Sky for a very long time,but all the special offerers we were getting all came to a end,happy with virgin,but to be honest I’m missing there football ,also 4k ultra is available on the football,but I’m sure Virgin won’t be far behind Sky,PS Virgin phone line much better ,Sky’s very poor,
Best wishes to Jobo and family for a great day!!

I don’t take this place too seriously while accepting everyone has opinions. Even opinions that disagree with mine. Wierd right! :-]
So I didn’t take it as an attack hence the reply with the “:-]” indicating a bit of banter.
If I took this place seriously I’d be rallying Celtic fans to organise collections for BNP, UKIP and the Tory party while standing hand in hand with Donald Trump looking for the illumination of all but the 6′ + blonde blue eyed Bhoys.
I’m still bringing a Pal a mines flag on Wednesday. His names Billy fae Ibrox. It’s a lovely flag. You’ll like it. Makes a political statement. :-]
MWD
We should fly The International Refugee flag.

Lurking whenever I can so thanks to all.
In the space of the last 10 minutes my house has been taken over and is being occupied by my wife, daughter, 4 bridesmaids, 4 flowergirls and a hairdresser. I’ve been sent upstairs to “iron, or something!”. Whita racket!
Jobo
Time for a hauf to calm your nerves.
Post your speach and we will give you valuable critique. :-]
