Michael, they have taken you away… from Ibrox

1425

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.

    Is the quiz a bogey? After i got one right out of a possible seven? Pfffft.

  6. SFTB,

     

     

    canny believe im going to say this (and cue nonsense from SOAL) but for a spell bout 93/94 prior to seating the Jungle me and my mates also had our own barrier in the huns end. Think it was more to avoid the venom flowing out from the Jungle to the pitch than any other reason. Honestly!

     

     

    Then decided to splash out on season ticket when they seated the jungle and had it ever since……not the seat in the jungle though :-)

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

    TTT gets confused (or it might be dyslexia ) and often posts LATE or AWOL
