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.

Are you visiting the weans? Heard the young fella has a scumbag at work!
BBC & HTV (former STV) could really make a commercial difference by repeating the old cup finals they hold on reels.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud at some of those…

Celtic must wait a further month before discovering if they are to be punished by UEFA for crowd incidents during their Europa League match with Udinese.
The Hoops were charged for “the displaying of an offensive banner and setting off of fireworks by fans” at the mid-December game in Italy.
The SPL leaders subsequently banned a supporter for life who they said was responsible for displaying the banner and attacking a steward.
UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Body had been due to hear the case on Thursday but it has since been moved to 24th February.

Good call. Hendricks should be our national drink.

Hope you get a Hendricks lookalike or you might have to share your room with the wee man….how is the bold Mick?!

I forgot to say that Pawel Brozek had few other options including those from other lands. Wisla Cracow, Polonia Warsaw tried to get him on loan. Legia Warsaw sent signals that would be interested but he played for our bigest rivals Wisla before a move to Turkey. He wanted to try again out of Poland.
Before that move to Turkey Fulham watched Brozek for longer than one year. They made a offer but Wisla wanted more.
When your media told that Brozek was close to Rangers I think it was TonyG the poster who asked me about my opinion. I told him more or less the same I told you today. I was not happy with the news about Brozek going to them and I was not sad. My opinion is Legia Warsaw fan opinion. As I said, Brozek played for our biggest rivals in Poland.

lot of good men in Larkhall…
I live in a hun town too.
Evening all,
Long time, no post.
Stopped when it all got a bit negative then the team picked up and did better the longer I left it.
Did the same with Andy Murray today – every time I started watching he’d broken a server or won a set. While I watched, he only dropped points.

Was in Ireland for a few days, just back tonight.
Aye, the young fella was robbed of all his money yesterday, the money is not the bother, it’s his bank card, the company have gone from the cctv was grainey to the cctv was not working, I have told him to call the guards, he is reluctant, but,ffs, you should be able to go to your work and not be robbed.
The agency told him not to go back, they will find him something else next week, they then told him him the place has a reputation for robbing, sad state of affairs.
Shattered btw, so feckin tired I can’t sleep :>)
Gimme a vector Victor….!

A good Celtic enclave.
thought Murray did a bit better than expected today
was gettin gubbed 5-2 and got it back to 5-5
no surprise he lost in end tho
the other 3 guys are simply better players
be lucky to win 1 big one while they are around
up to him tho !
Tommytwiststommyturns.
I haven’t seen him since the last quiz in Jurys,I think he’s hurt his shoulder,so he wouldn’t go to a quiz night.
I’m quite happy sitting at the bar,there will always be a few CQNers will come into the bar for a drink
I don’t know if MWD is going,but he’d head for the Bar anyway.

Sorry, how did we leave it.
I want to go and can get a ticket, but I’m really struggling time wise, my nephews birthday that day, I’ve got something on that night, and a sportsman’s dinner the night before – all while trying to do 2 full time jobs :-)
Would there be room on your bus if I decided to go ? Will decide tomorrow/Sunday
