Remember Henri Camara? Martin O’Neill paid a significant loan fee to sign him 10 years ago, in the considerable wake of Henrik Larsson. Henri flopped and soon lost his place in the team but the weight of responsibility thrust upon his frame was considerable. No one could come close to filling the gap left in the Celtic team.
Nadir Ciftci would do well to consider whose shoes he’s stepping into at Celtic. Last summer’s striker signings, John Guidetti and Stefan Scepovic could hardly muster a start the second half of the season. Leigh Griffiths, who arrived 18 months ago, got the striker’s gig most weeks, but Leigh came to Celtic with as illustrious a heritage as Nadir.
Never step into a great man’s shoes, but Nadir’s not doing that. This is the perfect time for a striker to join Celtic, I hope he has the appetite.
I see the great and the good in the media are flogging lyrical at the prospect of a prodigy arriving from Madrid. None of this has come from Celtic. The player may become available at some point but I reckon it remains a hard task convincing Real his immediate future should lie in Glasgow.

I’ve been here 18 years now but to take citizenship means forfeiting my Irish passport, I’m not sure I want to do that.
It’s like the start of the national with podium chasers jockeying for position8))
Welcome to Celtic FC nadir
Delight as cifti signs, that’s from the official site. Nadir is Turkish, you see what they did there, Richard whiteley esque punnery
Need to get the Irish passport thing sorted for tohg

A first. I think you are right about Ciftci.
He has skill and strength which is a must have combination in today’s game.

I`m a Celtic tragic.
I hate what I consider to be negative associations.
That`s about the size of it.
The only motivation I have.

I knew when I mentioned “skirting” and “tranny” in the same sentence that I was setting myself up.
Life was so much simpler back in ’66!

Sorry, Mike. I don’t follow you.
Sorry Mike, I don’t follow you re 19’69.
They didn’t waste much time in getting Ciftci on to the training ground and by the look of his spare tyre, not a moment too soon.
