I’ve not seen enough of Kolo Toure or Shane Duffy to have a view on their appropriateness for Celtic but I’m very pleased that despite the headcount of central defenders, Brendan Rodgers appears to be aware that he’s only got one he can rely on. We cannot afford to have another season of set-piece trauma in Europe.
Aston Villa’s Scott Sinclair has the makings of a more profound signing for Brendan, especially if he arrives for anything close to Villa’s asking price. Ronny Deila foundered in a sea of wide midfielders who were unable to command a starting place for any duration. We are the club where wide players come to damage their career prospects. Most of those who have ‘walked through Parkhead gates’ in this time had done so on a sale-or-return basis; at circa £6m Scott Sinclair would need to be right.
A friend once asked why the Argentinians adore Diego Maradona but appear reluctant to appreciate Lionel Messi. Diego single-handedly delivered the World Cup in 1986 and retired from international football having given everything to his country as a 33-year-old. Leo bowed out with a couple of runners-up medals two days after his 29th birthday. He could easily compete in another two World Cups, if he had the appetite.
That’s not to judge Leo; maybe he identifies with the people he chose, not with a nation. Many of us do.

GEAROID has done his bit so far,and will be there tomorrow.
Final whistle and the ref blesses himself.
What a result
WAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
Fecking brilliant.
As if it couldn’t get better the ref just blessed himself!
England only booked a 2 week all elusive break
Humiliation like never before for the star players from ” the best league in the world “
ref puts icing on cake by blessing himself at fulltime whistle
Commentators say English league is richest but not the best.
Say it makes players think they are better than the actual reality.
Pretty clueless by England.
Alexie Lalas commentating at last world cup said England are always hyped but never perform.
Maybe the reality is that they are not very good.
Meltdown….
