I think we all got that sinking feeling when we heard it was a knee injury, which kept Craig Gordon from appearing in the second half on Saturday. So news today that the player hopes to be back this season is a great relief. It still, however, mean we need to make moves to secure a replacement.
Dorus de Vries did well on Saturday, in particular with his distribution from feet, but we cannot play have a season with only a 37-year-old keeper. This will be causing some stress at Celtic Park right now but it should not be too difficult a position to fill. Fraser Forster was fifth choice at Newcastle when we loaned him.
There are plenty of clubs with three or more good keepers. My preference would be to get someone with the profile of Fraser; someone we could mould with an eye on a future permanent move, but I suspect this is likely to be a risk-averse appointment and we’ll get someone the manager is confident can do the job.
Resisting the temptation to talk about Charly for now. There’s lots to say on the subject, but let’s wait for things to formalize.

Gerry , Alan Thompson put it under the wall in our first Champions League game v Rosenborg at Celtic Park.
Pierre did it at Tannadice around 1996 when we were given a free kick inside the United penalty box about 8 yards from the goal line .
Tontine Tim , marvellous post about how Rangers became the horrible club they were.
LENNYBHOY.
I’ve got that message you phoned me about, my mobile is broken and I’m struggling to get my new phone working, if you know my house phone number give me a call, if you haven’t got it Stephan will give you it.

Brendan on STV seemed positive. Nothing on the official site yet. Just have to wait for confirmation.
OldTim did the package arrive? H H Hebcelt
Gerry , a perfect shift.
Jimmyntpaul, good for Jack.
It must be a tought time for him and his family following his dad passing away.
TimJim
Thanks.
JJ
nostalgia.com okay no one responded to my iced drinks, lets try another one creamola foam, littlle bottle of crystals, add water lovely drink.hh.
2.0 Celtic.
Ciaran Diver.
Hail Hail
As Dallas & JNP have pointed out good stuff for young Jack Aitchinson, losing a loved one is never easy for anybody
Jimmynotpaul, it would be good if our youth and develoement teams’ games were played in more central locations plus with better kick off times. I’m sure those of us who could go to these games would .
It must be hard for Jack as a Seventeen year old to deal with the loss of his dad.
Cremola foam , a total sugar rush but tasted great .
My lack of teeth now is a testament to that .
Heard Chic Young on the wireless saying Cliftonhill (Albion Rovers home ground) hadn’t changed since 1970.
This is crap – it was painted in 1985.
P.S. anyone know when Paddy is fit?
St Mirren down to 10 men.
Keeper off. According to Paul The Tim and Joe McHugh, a bizarre decision.
Hail Hail
Stringer Bell 7.25.
He hoping to be back for Scottish cup tie v Thistle.
Hail Hail
SB- Brendan said the Thistle cup tie is Paddy’s target for a return
DALLAS DALLAS WHERE THE HECK IS DALLAS , i thought i was the only one.hh.
HEBCELT.
Yes. I received it on Friday,but the bottle was broken when I received the package,the Postman asked me to open the Parcel as he had the suspicion that the contents were damaged,I knew that the package had been damaged by just having it in my hand,I opened it and the bottle was broken,I refused to sign for the Package and he took it back to the post office,I should receive a replacement, I would imagine they will post out another bottle eventually,I’ll wait and see what happens?.
According to Alan Preston on RS Musonda is real deal.
Said he’s the best player he had seen when be was U15.
Confident he’ll be £60m player.
Apparently his advisors insisted Chelsea sign his two brothers ic they wanted him
Well….hope the hype is correct.
Stringer Bell 7.25pm
Wee Chic hasn’t got a clue no barbed wire on the walls in the 70s, think this was introduced in the 90s :-)
Use to bunk in back in the day, the ground staff used to chase you to make sure you didn’t sneak back out !
cheers lads for the replies on Paddy.
we are gonna need him for Zenit I think, not to mention some tough league games.
BIG PACKY,
American Soda and ice cream was my favourite drink, when I was about 10 or 11. I liked creamola foam too but it wasn’t a patch on Barrs American cream soda (much better than Irn Bru, by the bye).
PARKHEADCUMSALFORD, hey a man after my own heart.hh.
BIG PACKY,
I remember Kenny Dalglish saying American cream soda was his favourite drink, so you’re in good company!
American cream soda ice cream float.
