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.

BT admits to being a rangers ender.
i always had my suspicions
SFTB,
i know of a least 2 different meeting areas:
in the jungle there was what apparently was commonly referred to as “The Shotts pole” lower part of Jungle end closest to huns end.
And we used to head for about 10yrds down from the the back of the jungle about 10 yrds to the left of the TV walkway.
HAIL! HAIL!

Only ever in britland a couple of times a year, was in Ireland for a couple of days and picked up that one, Lidl here are superb for their vino as are Aldi, who would be better imo, Aldi do a range called Epulum, a Rioja, some are gold medal winners for less than 4 euros, superb stuff.
If you come across it, check it out, well worth it.
Drinking a Ribera Del Duero, 2007 Crianza called Vina Carpio, gold medal in Brussels and silver in Berlin, luverly.
SOAL,

halfway line, under the tv gantry, usually. Although midway up the Jungle at the 18 yard line towards the Celtic end was the best seat in the house in the 70s imo.

In the Celtic end under the spot where the scoreboard were eventually put up. Almost directly under the end of it nearest the stand.

He was right, not a long quiz tonight…:) Sorry couldn’t resist.

the real bad bhoys were at the back. Us 15 year old lot stood close to them for 2 reasons; hoping that we would be seen as bad without actually being bad, and to scare our dads/uncles/family. Who stood – yes indeed! – at the 18 yard line towards the Celtic end.
Ah, youth, youth!
BT
Always wondered who that guy was.
