They want him to replace Scott Sinclair apparently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be so sure about that.. I hope Celtic realise they need to play to his strengths in order for him to start firing again. Otherwise, there is no point signing him. All those intelligent runs need a'servicing, baby. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Yes please. We'll need rid of him sooner or later anyway. If we can get absolutely anything for him, we'll be doing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people would be chirping up about how they always knew he was a good player, without realising how appalling the standard is up there. Sinclair was a world beater up there, and has just signed for Preston 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technical wizard Scott Brown will bring about a renaissance in the career of Hogan Similar to when his uncle Hulk joined the NWO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I’d be inclined to use his impact to judge the quality of The Scottish PL rather than Scott Hogan, as he has already set a benchmark for what he’s capable of in The Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets a bit of confidence back he will be good up there. If not he needs to give up the game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Living in Aberdeen, I've met a few Celtic fans in my time most of whom were complete bell-ends who think they're Barcelona. As a result my opinion of that club and horrible kit couldn't be any lower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's busted, just looks done as a player to me. The SPL generally is a graveyard for people trying to reignite their careers, they go in with the wrong mindset, think it will be an easy ride and they get found out. It's a young man's league I believe. "He'll boss it up there" They rarely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I cant help but feel the move would be good for him, I suppose the proof will be in the pudding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather the clubs had to fold than join our football league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a day when other clubs overtook them, but fat chance of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will always point to guys like McGinn and Robertson but it's so difficult to be confident about anyone playing in Scotland. Even the great (by Scottish standards) Ally McCoist looked like a journeyman when he came down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
