Israeli recruiting anchor

965

Anchoring to a distant geographical base is not intuitively how you would expect a football club to recruit but Celtic are clearly working their contacts in Israel these days.  Beram Kayal has worked out well in the two and a half years since joining from Maccabi Haifa, as has Nigeria international, Efe Ambrose, who joined from Israeli club Ashdod in the summer.

Neil Lennon recently mentioned he needed cover for left back (despite right-footed Adam Matthews performing heroics there against Barcelona), so it is no surprise that Israel international Rami Gershon is in town today.  Gershon has played less than a dozen games for Standard Liege since leaving Israel three years ago, although he was a regular pick for loan club Kortrijk.  Should he sign he will be a low-risk addition to the squad but he has almost certainly received commendation from the same sources who recommended Kayal and Ambrose.

Best of luck to Rabiu Ibrahim, who left for Kilmarnock after promising much but delivering little as a prodigy at Sporting and PSV Eindhoven.  He was the low-risk addition of last January.  You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs……

    I hear The Vogue is not very fussy about a dress code for entry.

     

    If you go into the Vogue looking for Voguepunter,and not sure what he looks like,think Ron Burgandy who walks like Danny Zuko from Grease.

    It was just in response to Phils whataboutery i.e his complete failure to mention the scheduling of the game at an historically known bad time and the failure of the police to do their job to protect the well behaved fan. Surely I am permitted to respond in kind in an ironic way ?

     

     

    Have you lectured Phil on his whataboutery ?

     

     

    Or am I about to experience yet another lecture on utopian behaviour expected from all Celtic fans regardless of the facts.

     

     

    Because if you are I can save you the trouble and let you know for sure that approach does not wash with me.

     

     

    You must know that by now
