“Frustration” was apparently the order of the day for Celtic as Newcastle’s Leon Best decided against moving on loan for the remainder of the season, despite his club being happy to see him go, while a gaggle of other target-men were apparently courted. Frustration; really?
We have Hooper, Stokes and Pawel Brozek fighting for no more than two forward spots, with Moh Bangura still waiting for his first proper run in the team and Georgios Samaras regularly drifting to the striker role from the left. Different formations also call for only one striker with a creative central player, such as Forrest, Commons or maybe Rabiu Ibrahim.
Hooper and Stokes are both playing well, scoring regularly and will be difficult for Brozek to dislodge, not to mention Bangura. Best, who is neither show-biz nor a player guaranteed to score a barrel-load, would either be this year’s Freddie Ljungberg, or if successful, would be improving his own development at the expense of a contracted Celtic player.
I’m as frustrated as I was the day we lost Marc-Antoine Fortune.

The past few days in Scottish fitba have been the funniest I can remember – the currants are dying a slow a painful death and it couldn’t happen to a more horrible lot – delighted!
Just a couple of points on any potentail newco currants:
If they go down due to Whyte running out of cash, only the current Directors (Whyte, Ellis and King I believe?) would be excluded from being involved in a football club for the following 5 years – this is my view of the rules and I stand open to correction – but as Murray, Johnston, Bain et al would not be directly responsible for the insolvency event, they could argue there is nothing to stop them starting up NewHun NoCups FC 2012.
Where it gets interesting is if it is the EBT case that causes them to fail. Then it could be argued that the responsibility for their insolvency lies with the previous board members – Minty included. Even if the old board manage to squirm their way out of that, there is the SFA’s fit and proper person’s test. Having been party to the illegal use of the tax-avoidance EBT scheme, there is no way they can be called fit or proper.
I hope they last until the FTT verdict, go bust as a result of that and Minty and his Minions start to feel the heat.
This has been a brilliant week for laughing at them but not for my productivity at work!
