There’s always a bit of reticence signing a player who has been away from his previous club for four months. Carlton Cole hasn’t played since starting West Ham’s final games of last season, and presumably has only trained in isolation since then.
Expectations of a quick return, should Celtic offer him a contract, have to be tempered with the realisation that he’ll be at least a month away from full fitness, but by then we will be set to face Molde away.
One aspect of our play that will concern Ronny Deila is that we’re short of attacking variation. The high ball forward to Samaras, so long our staple on the road in Europe, is not an option. This will be the reason why Carlton is training at Lennoxtown this week.
I’d expect a short-term deal to be concluded between now and January, to give both sides a chance to check out the fit.

Delusions of grandeur falling apart for the
zombies tonight.

2 things –
1. The most pleasing thing for me is, barring a miracle, there’s now only 1 remaining unfortunate chance that we will have to share a park with them this season.
-Couldn’t agree more
hope we never have to play “thems” ever

Does the BBC commentary team know their history? Did I hear them say St Johnstone have played this team 20 times in the last 15 years? Unless 20 of them have been in the last 3 years, how can that be?
….and people complain about bbc licence fee….tonight’s comedy offering has justified it to me
still constant bias by ref..no yellows for 2 footed tackles or diving
St Johnstone playing for a draw now??
Commentator getting historical since there’s no opportunity to praise the bhuns

Great goal from Tavernier, In all fairness he is a decent player.

St Johnstone are now rabbits in the lights – need to calm doon
Dead updates will appear here after 8.30 pm
remember charlie nicholas getting hat trick in aroynd 8 mins at parkhead
Game being played at 100 miles per hour, St. Johnstone need to get hold pf the ball and take a bit of heat out of it.
My mum’s from Methven and my great aunt North Muirton, so I’ve always had a wee soft spot for St Johnston.
outrageous diving from hu s
Comedy value increases as the manly mob in Ibrox chant ‘we are the peeeeeeeple’
Commentator says St Johnstone have let in 15 in the league ( forgets it’s the league above? )

Sorry bhoys
Couldn’t resist turning it on for a look when I heard it was 3-0.
The inevitable happened.
Should be ok as I turned it off right away.
3-1 will do.
These commentators are more biased than the commentators are on Celtic TV.
Keep it turned aff!!
