Don't think the media are going to have an easy ride with Mr. PC...

Thats a toughie, each with pros and cons... Windass - Good pace but far too inconsistent so you don't know what you're going to get. Dodoo - Good pace and seems clinical enough but not sure if he brings enough when not playing thought the middle. Waghorn - Can't question his effort and will to win but can be so wasteful and error prone.

This is one of the things that has annoyed me, we should have been looking for the DoF with the same urgency as we were before the manager was appointed.. Its not in PC's remit to set up a scouting system and had this DoF been in place swiftly, this scouting system could have been at least partially set up in advance of the end of the season/opening of the transfer window... If the delay is because they can't find the right person then I can more than understand that as I would prefer the right DoF, however, it seems its just been thrown onto the 'Will deal with it later when there is time' pile.

He's got a reputation for playing the victim card...

Effectively sentences him to an early retirement.

I'm confident we're going to lose 2, maybe even 3 centre backs in the summer so this has got to be the priority for me. Senderos and Hill are out of contract and don't see them being renewed, I also don't see Kiernan being kept unless we can't find somebody else. Midfield, we have the returning Rossiter and Kranjcar (assuming both stay fit of course) which will be like new signings. Up top, think Kenny will be moving on, and if not, spending more time on the bench as I can't see PC not signing a CF when his team is based around high pressure.

OK, thats fine, if its only a yellow card offence, it doesn't change the fact that Jack should have been sent off. His preceeding challenge was a yellow card on its own, plus the so called 'rutting stags' is another yellow, and what do 2 yellows make.......

I'm really excited to see how this team gets on tomorrow night. The only thing that worries me, however, is that I do expect some more injuries after this game before Sunday. I don't think its any coincidence that we picked up so many injuries after having the players in and training hard everyday of the international break, also, training exercises that maybe they're not used to. I understand and fully agree with PC for doing it but this is always the risk that comes with it. Add in the plastic pitch, which 99% of professionals say is more likely to cause injury and I think we could be looking at another few enforced substitutions. Obviously, I hope i'm wrong

Very true, hopefully we can make a pretty penny of some of the 'deadwood', however, I feel that may be being greedy

I believe Tavernier was just suspended at the weekend so I would expect he will return to the starting line-up and Hodson will probably move to cover Wallace's absence

*cough* *cough* Kris Boyd (1st time around) Couldn't agree more... I don't feel he would be expensive and would be a valuable option to have, even if just as a squad player

interesting

Andy Webster

haha, nicely put

Not much quality there, I think Sam Nicholson is worth a look at. though.. On a free, its a relatively small risk for a good young Scottish player

Happy birthday!

I believe at 11am

I can just see it, fast attacking from a front 3 of myself, Francisco Sandaza and Kevin Kyle, dubbed KLS scoring more goals than MSN at Barcelona

its live now

Doesn't anyone think Jim Stewart could have been an easy candidate for his 'local expert'? 10 years experience of the club and all the Scottish leagues while we've passed through them won't be easy to find.....

Its amazing what the need to impress a new manager can do.....

Whenever I watch these sort of training videos it makes me wish i was out there doing it...

Theres no way it would happen but we should have trained something completely different this week, something that Celtic would have not been prepared for and hopefully therefore, test their players ability to adapt and react. I'm probably mad, but why not try a 3-6-1. When not in possession, its a 5-4-1 as the 2 wingbacks will sit and defend. It gives a strong defensive base, with the ability to flood the midfield and strangle the game and hopefully slow down the ball forward from them, the wing backs then give the ability to hit them on the counter. 3 central defenders means one can sweep up through balls to their pacy players who will try and run in behind. One sitting. midfielder, two central midfielders and an attacking midfielder to support the lone striker. It definitely wouldn't be pretty, but it would get the Celtic fans on their teams back as they'll be expecting a whipping and then hopefully the players could take advantage of that
