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.

Jelavic WILL miss Rangers’ SPL match with Hibernian on Saturday because of an illness which has kept him out of training with the squad for the past two days.
If they drop more points tomorrow, when will the laptop loyal print the ‘Time To Go!’ headlines…

Even missing the diving Croat they’ll beat Hibs. Hibs are completely rank rotten and they might very well go down.
Dreadful team.
Well put it this way, if they fail to beat Hibs they are in more bother than we’ve seen so far.

smasher from Auntie Jean 15-30
This tennis is gripping. Packed the bhoy off to school this morning then sat down with a coffee to see how Murray was doing. I’m going to have to do the school pick up at the end of this match. What a waste of a day off.
15-40

All the more reason to insist that a newco huns isn’t allowed straight into the SPL.

A great article but another striker before the window closes is a must imo. We currently have 3 fit strikers, and it does not look likely that Bangura will appear again before March. Signing/Loaning another striker does not guarantee us the league but is sure as hell improves our chances of doing so
This time, let’s not forget to turn the hosepipe on :)

I think the girlfriends should fight this out if it finishes level.

I posted earlier this morning that Jelavic would miss tomorrows game. I was intrigued by what excuse they would use for it. Illness eh? Is that what they call having a tantrum these days?
By the way, not one Russian club is interested in signing him at the price Rangers are asking
Game Steve 6-5 2 sets each

Yep. We need to fight the very suggestion that that could be allowed to happen on all fronts.
I watch very little tennis but that was exceptional
Speaking of the loyal press, which is the Evening Times reminding the ref that Matthews is only one yellow away from a ban?
