If you aggregate the nods, winks and rumours around Celtic this week you might be inclined to think we’re in the market for a target-man striker with a few years’ experience under his belt. I agree with the principle that we need a target man and I’m also of the view that short-term deals are not nearly as desirable as permanent contracts, but as we know, it’s too easy to load the club full of squad players who cumulatively cost a lot of money but scarcely trouble the first team.
Hooper, Stokes, Samaras, Bangura, Rasmussen and Murphy are all under contract for next season and we cannot be confident of attracting bids for any of those Neil Lennon might want to move on. If we add a seventh striker, his name better be on the team sheet before Gary Hooper’s. Signing an exotic version of Daryl Murphy would add spice to our week but would only consume scarce resources. I’d rather not.
Co-opting a media partner works in theory. It’s always better to have good relationships with the media than the kind of relationships Celtic perennially have, but what happens when your media partner plays with a straight bat?
Rangers media partner, STV, today report Nigerian trialist, Michael Uchebo, boarded a plane out of Glasgow a few hours after arriving (Michael, they have taken you away….) as the VVV-Venlo striker with 8 career goals to his name had “a poor first impression of” Rangers.
Michael, you clearly have a rubbish strike rate but you’re a remarkably perceptive individual.

Oh I’m taking nout to do with this one buddy, it’s an antipodean thingamy :-))
I’m sure that Gordon Marshall had the nickname – The Laughing Policeman- due to his facial resemblance to charles jolly.
Well, maybe that was just my clique that referred to him so
SFTB
and your clique is and was the original CQN clique…. o))
BT
I swear to god that my mates and me used to meet at the 2nd barrier back at the 18 yard line nearest the Celtic end in the jungle in the 70’s
The number of times since that I’ve seen people post that that was their viewing spot suggests we were really overcrowded.
Did nobody meet up anywhere else in the ground?
What’s happening here?
Has round 2 begun?
My computer froze so had to commandeer one from my wife.
Am I on the right article…?
Jobo
Awww sheesh, first HT and his Tom/Kit dig and now BT and the clique dig…….
Cue bedlam ;-)
