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.

Re Hooper, I say hello £8 m – cheerio Garry.
I’d then buy Johnny Russell to keep Tony Watt on his toes.
Stokes can go on free transfer.
I think Samaras and Commons more useful in the last 16…get them working as a little and large combination.. They will fear teams.
petec…..Hope you have a “supernatural” nights sleep!
Just watched “life of pi” for once a film matches a book imo.
Bloody good stuff…Snake Plissken what do you think?
Night Bhoys…in Neil we trust :O).
If Hooper leaves… He leaves the biggest club he’ll ever play for and IMO rob ably begins a premature decline in his football… Unfortunately for Celtic this will be contrasted by an unprecedented hike in his personal earnings… Money talks!
Sorry guys

Johnny Higgins
My hero when I was 7.
A slight looking but elusive winger.
My first game at CP and he scored twice against East Fife in a 4-1 win.
I think a serious injury forced him into early retirement.
We seem to prefer players of small stature, especially on the wing.
I expect Gary Hooper to remain at Celtic until the summer, but beyond that, no chance.
Gary Hooper is English and was brought up in Essex. He was not raised in the Celtic family and came to Celtic as an outsider, as a professional to do a professional job. He has excelled in that job.
There is no way Celtic can compete with the EPL when an English-born player has a chance to go there and do very well for himself, both financially and professionally.
The only way Celtic will ever be able to compete with the EPL in that respect is to join the EPL.
The sooner the better.
Hail Hail
NFL Update
San Francisco came back from 17-0 down to beat Atlanta Falcons 28-24.
It was a wee bit scary at the end but the 49ers deserved their win. IMHO
New England Patriots lead Baltimore Ravens 13-7 with 12 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
With the Aussie Open into the last 16, Celtic in rampant form and the Super Bowl due 2 weeks, January is as good as October for wee armchair fans.
Here: this takes a lifetime to understand. Not just use in a wee religious mania type outburst on a “blessed blog”.( dear god). A lifetime of angels on heads of pins.
As bad as ‘effin cargo cults.

And aye…ah’m still outta here. Execept when I’m not. Do I give a flyin’ farage if you care?
” Ah’m a rambler, ah’m a gambler, ah’m a long way from home,
an’ if you don’t like me, well leave me alone.
Ah’ll eat when ah’m hungry, ah’ll drink when ah’m dry:
an’ if the ganja don’t kill me, ah’ll live ’til ah die. ”
Something better to live by than all that false piety.
2013. Not 1613.

Tinkerbell FC
:oD)))))
Tinkerbell FC currently play their football in Scotland’s fourth tier leading division 3 by 19 points but you’ve got to believe, clap your hands if you believe :oD))))
I am now officially adopting Tinkerbell FC in all future references to hun2
Please be advised I will refer to Rangers FC whenever I am discussing the club currently in the process of liquidation.
I will refer to Tinkerbell FC whenever I am discussing the club currently playing football in division 3 mascaradeing as Rangers FC.
Hopefully this will help clarify my position and future references.

My older brother,who also loved Johnny Higgins, told me that Shearer,R.B. of Rangers, was responsible for the injury,and that it was due to an assault rather than a tackle.
morning bhoys , just leaving a cold but dry g69 for the dubious delights of that desolate hinterland that is Mercia.
Think of me as you nestle in the bosom of yer ain .
Sanna
Jobo, it’s naw too cold here at about 0/1°C and its light snow along the fylde coast of NW engerlund. Googybhoy in M’chester will be getting it more heavily.
Connecting the weather reports CSC
Sannabhoy aye but whits the weather daein?

I’ve been dry
Dry for 3 weeks
Cqn server ate half my previous post.

Safe journey Sanna
Vmhan, morning. DOing well. Yersel ?
Been dry for 3 weeks as well. Not as onerous as I thought -probably says something about my habits.
Hope the family are doing well . Should be passing you in about an hour or so.
Sanna, I’m heading down the coast towards Preston, I’ll give ye a Celtic wave ✊
Good morning friends from ole EK where thestart of the working week is greeted by a dusting of frosty snow. Very cold looking.
If your driving its gonnae get hairy from Cumbria to M’chester drive carefully.
V
V , thanks but I’m letting the train take the strain .
Jobo , morning. G69 has managed to avoid the white stuff so far.
Sannabhoy,
With all the snow problems across the UK in the last wee while it very surprising that for once, East KIlbride (600 feet above sea level) has pretty much avoided it.
Light snow in ml2..missing the brunt of it,it seems.
Morning all.
If Gary is to be lured to the riches of EPL mediocracy I suspect Charlie has the potential to replace him:

Miserable in Bonnybridge!

I’ve woken up with a sore neck. I am not taking Cornershop’s advice again….”Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow” indeed!
Morning,
I honestly think Hooper will be away by the end of the week.
Celtic linked with Japanese forward Yuji Ono today. PL loves that Asian market.
