Fraser Forster has missed the last two games with a neck injury, which Neil Lennon suggested could have been sustained as a result of sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow in Spain last week. Fraser has been treated by a chiropractor but it might be a few games before he is back between the posts.
This is a known phenomenon. As well as bikes, spare tyres and pumps the GB Olympic cycling team make sure that each cyclist brings their own orthopaedic pillow on each journey. Olympic cyclists, like professional footballers, are finely tuned athletes who stress their bodies each day. Muscles are continually bashed and stretched making their bodies especially vulnerable a whole range of ailments.
The GB Olympic cycle team also used heated trousers. To be best of my knowledge velodromes are not particularly cold but as much as any type of athlete, cyclists require their leg muscles to go from rest to full throttle in an instant. Warm muscles are less prone to hamstring, calf, rolled ankle and ligament damage.
Did all this fine tuning get them anywhere? GB cyclists won 7 out of 10 gold medals available to them, so they are doing something right. Jock Stein was the first British manager to take food with the team when they played away in Europe, soon everyone was doing it. The need to find ways of ensuring Celtic are as well prepared as possible for every training session and game remains just as important.
Orthopaedic pillows and 20 minutes in heated trousers before warm-up would cost less than £1000. They would support neck muscles and potentially reduce our horrendous muscle-injury record. Best practice suggests we look into this.

Celtic will only sell Hooper if the offer is over 10M and we have a star ready to come in.
Hooper is playing very well and I think we should keep him unless the offer is very high. I’d sell @ 14Million.
He is absolutely deadly when fully motivated, his accuracy when shooting is very good.
The boy Jinky.
Im that sick of the hun mafia in there im thinking of leaving.
Had an offer and now the kids are up and don’t need to pester anyone to watch the kids think I’ll be for the off.

Petec,
As a Christian I find your posts to Miki very un- Christian.
________________________________________________
I think you are naive, especially as you say “posts”.
A simple denial would have sufficed.
The bed is calling, much to do, so little time to do it, see this retirement, hard work so it is.
Take care and god bless Timland.

Now I am not an expert, but I thought that those ‘donkeys’ looked suspiciously like ‘asses’.
I would hazard that they were therefore a bit more Aldi, Lidl and Farmfoods’ supply chain rather than Tesco.

I agree m8ty.
Stillian done something similar, this Club, whilst we are where we are has to play the game very smart.
Everyone is getting excited about Wembley but we Must be prudent and cash in at the right times as you say.
Wembley is just a dream, we must Stay hard and fast to the business model that is getting us this far.
Truth be told, I’d be happy with 12Million for Gary, especially if he wants to go back to his homeland.
Neil is saying all the right things at all the right times. ;))
Petec,
Very condescending, goodnight.

I doubt Hoops would be a first-pick at a top-six team.
Practically every other team is potentially gonna struggle against relegation.
If he is unlucky in his choice,his career could nosedive.
He left the championship in 2010 to join us-he could find himself back in it in 2014.
He should consider that possibility,IMO.

Wembley isn’t a dream…..this is a dream….
Sixteen of us sat around the table. Well it wasn’t really a round table, it was more of an oval. But it was a table, made of polished mahogany with the pattern reflecting the light from the dim bulb as it mixed with the shadows from the place that does shadows just when you don’t need them.
We were having a ‘ha’ or as we called it – a bit of a laugh – which ‘ha’ is. If it had been the full ‘ha ha’ then we would have been having a laugh…..but it wasn’t, it was a ‘ha’ just a bit of a laugh. And then the door at the far end of the room opened with a creak.
“creak…….”
A fully fledged ‘creak; not a bit of a creak like in ‘cre’!
She entered with a handful of poundshop combs in her hands and carefully placed them in as near the centre of the oval table as oval tables can have.
Beside them she laid down an incongruously circular plate of sumptuously grilled black pudding. Black pudding from heaven, no white bits, no sellotape on the outside and no dripping fat; just that dry mouth watering aroma of the greatest morning pick-me-up ever invented.
There it lay, an arms lengthy away.
“Where’s the forks?” I asked.
“It’s not for eating” the reply came. “it’s time for mano v mano, womeno v womeno, to the deatho, Choose yer combso”
We were all pals; but this was about survival. This was about being lost in the Andes and only having your pals for food. What could we do.
The hands stretched across the table. Some chose a bone handled one, some the sort to clear nits, some the steel weapon of their youth and some even the one that played tunes that turned your freshly washed locks from a sodden mass into a TIMotei smooth re-incarnation of Braveheart’s missus as her ghost wandered through the crowds of bloodthirsty ambulance chasers.
“Load your weapons” the siren screamed and those who had picked up the combs charged their weapons of choice with the power and particles of the Black Pudding.
The first eight stood reluctantly and walked to the area suddenly lit by the concealed lights in the ceiling above.
Friend against friend, pal against pal, china v china. Only one of each could survive. What option did they have?
“fire”
In an instant they knew that they had no option and the combs were aimed, the ammo of black pudding doing its worst, laying friend to the floor and leaving the winner not only victorious but desolate in their own grief as the devastation leaked over the marbled tiled floor.
The lights dimmed. Darkness fell.
“Load your weapons” the voice screamed again.
Harry looked at me.
I had to kill my best friend or he had to kill me.
He charged his comb with the as little of the black pudding as he could manage.
I refused any ammo.
As we approached the re-lit arena, I pulled a Pender’s square sliced sausage from my pocket and filled my comb with its well grilled particular power.
I crossed the line and showed Harry exactly what he was about to face and how his black pudding would have to face the strength of the Lorne.
At first he seemed terrified, and then realising that this could be the last ever trip to the butchers for either one of us, resignation turned to a smile.
We both took two steps back, our hands perspiring around the sharp tangs of the fully loaded combs.
We stared at each other and knew that this was it.
“Fire”
I woke up.
Now that’s a dream!

A fully motivated Gary, proven over in Moscow, is capable of playing at one of the top 6 EPL teams.
I agree that he might not, initially, be a starter for their top games but he would muscle his way in as he adapts.
I don’t think he will go this window anyway unless Liverpool or someone better comes in and they pay big money. Celtic can win the Champions League this season, that is a lot to give up.
PETEC
Either way,he should heed our advice!

I remember my Son laughing a lot whilst he was sleeping as a wee baby.
He would go for minutes laughing in his sleep, those were some of the happiest moments in my life. I can’t explain it.
I have went raving in Scotland and England and had so many unnatural highs but those moments were so natural, some might even say supernatural.

Celtic have someone even better ready to take his place if he decides to leave, IMO.
