Playing Adam Matthews and Emilio Izaguirre as wing-backs with Kelvin Wilson, Charlie Mulgrew and Mikael Lustig as a back three looked a bit clumsy and didn’t last the 90 minutes but that was to be expected. New defensive formations are not supposed to operate as smoothly as familiar systems.
I’m far from certain three at the back is a good idea, or if we have the correct personnel for this formation, but Neil Lennon should persist with the experiment. We will not learn and grow if we don’t take chances, which was one of our abiding frustrations under both Martin O’Neill and Gordon Strachan.
No experiments on Tuesday, of course!

Good evening.
Reading back,extremely disappointed with the news that Ki is to be sold for a paltry £5million.
Don’t care what anybody says,that is not good business for Celtic FC.
I would rather we just kept the said player for another year,then let him go for nothing,rather than accept that joke of an offer.
Get a grip Lawwell.
O O flag??
I really don’t see why some posters on here seek to disparage Jordan Rhodes by comparing him to Kris Boyd…
Sure,Rhodes scores many goals in,and around the five yard box…but he has also score with a fair few thunderous strikes from the edge of the penalty box, in the last season…
What does set him apart from Boyd are the goals he scores breaking from the halfway line,outpacing defenders and leaving them trailing in his wake,unable to put in an effective challenge as he strikes home.
He scored at least half a dozen goals of this variety,in the past season,although only a couple are shown in the compilation….
So he is certainly no slouch when it comes to pace…..at times reminiscent of the young Gary Lineker,when he was making his name at Leicester…
The quality of his movement and awareness is something we have lacked,since Sutton and Larsson departed…
And then there is the heading ability he would bring to our attack……..which is.
embarrassingly poor in this regard.
People don’t seem to appreciate that he is as much of an unselfish playmaker,as he is a predatory striker….
He would appear to possess many of the best qualities of Chris Sutton,Brian McClair,and Teddy Sheringham….
If I had to swap Hooper for Rhodes…….I wouldn’t think twice….I’d even throw in Anthony Stokes…if it was required to seal the deal…
We could play Rhodes in a striking partnership with Hooper/GigaWatt…or we could use him as an attacking midfielder, with the other pair up front….
Oh…And he doesn’t usually take penalties…but I’m sure he could be persuaded…
Buy him NOW….Build our team around him….It’s Five Minutes To Midnight, In Peter Lawwell’s Greasy Spoon Diner…
If Ki was going to sign a new contract,he would have done so by now…Sayonara !
Not that I’m bothered if he stays anyway
We need to spend all the transfer fee raised on our new striker…
No pathetic,feeble half-measures to appease the gullible……

The Ki rumour seems to have lifted out of a rumour website.
Paul67 et al
East Stirling have a fair claim to be the worst team of any of the national football leagues in Britain or Ireland and yet the MSM in Scotland have reacted to a new club defeating them as if it is on a par with defeating Real Madrid at the Bernebau. The Shire do not even have the luxury of owning their own ground, something they may share with their opponents of yesterday. The same media Kevin McKenna lauds in his latest, and it has to be said lightest, piece of opinion journalism. Half expected him to nominate Jim Traynor for the Pullitzer Prize for his pioneering work which exposed, in no particular order, David Murray, the Bank of Scotland and Rangers FC as was. Except of course Traynor and his ilk did no such thing, preferring to prostrate themselves before David (a borrower be) Murray and reprint his thoughts as if the gospel from on high. Journalism? Do not make me laugh. Though I am laughing now. Laughing at their attempts to revive a bone fide corpse, or failing that, hail the efforts of the new club in their glorious victory over the Shire. Kevin McKenna should be proud of them all.
I am not making this up.
If anybody reads back over the first few pages,the fee is quoted several times.
Paddy Gallagher – It’s the principle of the matter.He has probably cost the club that amount when his transfer price and wages are taken into account.
And from a purely footballing perspective as well – Ki is worth twice that price.
It is an insult to our great club.

It was taken from a RUMOUR page ffs its not official!!!

Thot that. Where was it flying??

Penny mix from O’Briens shop in the thatched cottage or Mullraneys in St Bridgets Terrace ? ;-)

That’s fair enough mate.
I am fully aware that every player has a price,and accept that fact.
But that £5million quote has annoyed me.
Sick and tired of these EPL clubs trying to rip Celtic off.

IF Ki goes im sure it will be for more than £5M but lets wait n see BEFORE we start berating the club etc
HH
So all this Ki and Dobbie (whoever he is) talk is based on a football transfers website story?
Not the best of sources.

What colour were ur poodles? Just askin like. o)))
Purple!!!! :-)))
Remember guys, we REJECTED as bid of over £6m for Ki from Rubin Kazan, and that was before the Olympics. With other teams like Arsenal and Atletico Madrid interested, we wouldn’t settle for £5m from Swansea. No way.
HH
If we got 5 mill for Ki I wonder who we shld go for?? mmmmmmmmmmm Let me thinkmmmmmmmm
Deep or pale??
