    Badly need another CB like Virgil. If he is sold or injured we will be hopeless. I think Denayer is a good player, but not next to Ambrose, not to mention what will happen if we get injuries.

    I'd like to see Wakaso and Guidetti signed permanently and a first choice left back brought in. I don't want to see Griffiths go, he brings something to the team and would improve greatly in the right position with a run of games instead of his current bit part role.

    Before we sign anyone, we really need to get rid of some players. We have a big squad, with too many players who will either not good enough or are just plain unlucky. I would expect Boerrigter, Forrest, Stokes, Commons and Griffiths among the leading contenders to leave. Commons is useful but he is not really Deila's type of player and he is getting on a bit. He ain't gonna sign a new contract so probably best that we sell him. Forrest and Boerrigter is just too injury prone, then Griffiths and Stokes are just not good enough, rather we sold them both and brought in one good striker. Also can terminate the loans of Berget too, simply because he is rubbish.

    Keep Virgil until the Summer anyway. Hope we bring in Armstrong, Ibraimi, a left back, a centre back and Guidetti.

    We're in desperate need of attacking midfielders... or more like 2 inside forwards going by the tactics Ronny has been using. Stokes is our first choice in that position and he's a striker. None of the rest have shone at all.

    Depends if we can get money for the likes of Ambrose and Boerrigter. I swear we have been stuck with dead weight for over a decade now. It'd be nice to have a team that are only fresh and available. It seems like we need 3 players for every position these days.

    If we were to keep Big John & VVD all I see us missing is someone genuinely creative that can open teams up.
    Do the above and I'd be a very happy Bhoy.

    Well you're not asking for much. It surely shows the boards lack of ambition if we don't sign SIX players in January.

    Plus can you imagine that guy living in Glasgow? Just asking for trouble.

    Id be looking for a left back for competition and back up with izzaguirre, two centre backs as both of our centre backs won't be here after the summer so I wouldn't mind benching Denayer if it means bringing a new player up to speed. I still don't think we can judge on who we have seen playing on the wings in Wakaso and Tonev and if both come good I see both of the wings sorted therefore I would concentrate on finding a holding midfielder as I think Johansen and perhaps Commons if he stays can hold down the playmaker position.

    You need players who are good at football, that's the main priority

    I know what it means to play for Celtic but that doesn't mean I should get a run-out

    Like Paddy McCourt and Niall Mcginn as well then? Or Darren O'dea?

    Mclean is rotten. So one dimensional it's not even funny. He's irish and loves the RA thats about all he has going for him.

    Does he support Celtic though ? I've heard that for years with Anthony Stokes but was he not a Man Utd fan ? Also heard it with Robbie Keane and he claimed he was a Liverpool fan. Having a soft spot for Celtic doesn't mean you support them.

    McClean might support Celtic but I take these things with a pinch of salt.

    Stokes was born into a Celtic family for Keano I wouldn't think so every club he plays for is his "dream" wouldn't mind Russell either it's just McClean would be cheaper

    Armstrong
    Ibraimi
    Left back
    And a wide creative player.


    Can see us going for Vilsvik and Daehli going by some Norwegian journo tweets.
