Week For The Lost Bhoys

With Scotland's victory still taking up the back pages, front pages and middle pages trying to get yerself up for the "real deal", the bread and butter, the games that put food on the table is quite difficult today.

Now, i should probably wait until Wee Gordon has a press conference and steal quotes from that and maybe chastise him for his smug, arrogant display in front of the press but that will be old hat and the fact that i fancy a beer on ma day off his something to do wie it.

This week it has been left to the forgotten men of Celtic Park to give the quotes and the soundbites. First up is wee Deek , who after his flatter to deceive performance at Love Street on oor last outing, an outing that seems years ago, is staking a claim for a first team spot.

“Celtic is a massive club and I want to do well here and I think that I can do well here,” he said. “I want to score a lot of goals, set up as many as I can and try and get into that team every week.”

Says the street fighter from Leith. Problem for him is the form of Aiden, is that GS disnny see him as a striker and the fact that anytime he has played this season he has reminded me of an 8 year old playing for an under 14 team with his slight frame and sort of unkempt style of play that you see on public parks on a Saturday morning.

That's not to say the bhoy husnae got a gallus-ness. His penalty against Spartak reek of self confidence, while his performance in the first half against St Mirren reeked of a player lacking in belief.

In a week when the youth system in Scotland is being rightly lauded, oor Deek must be looking at the Scotland squad and his pal "Broonies"- don't you just love the fitbawers mentality when it comes to nicknames..i mean Wazza for Rooney..classic- performance must have him looking on wie the thought where did it all go wrong floating round his heid.

He could get his chance again on Saturday. Aiden has had a hard 10 days of traveling and playing and wie a trip to the Ukraine on Tuesday coming up Deek might see another starting berth or at least a decent half hour run out tomorrow.

This week also so the man nicknamed "Joe" popping his heid above the trenches and taking the press bullet wie the claim that he was always going to return is as baffling as Mrs Thatcher being invited back to 10 Downing Street.

“But these things are always complicated and they can take time. But I always wanted to come back here.“I spoke to the manager a couple of times on the phone and he re-assured me and eventually the move was completed."

So are we to believe that he was always the first choice cover while GS has already said that they were in the market for other options who didnae want to come and be understudies to the improving Wilson and the, eh, dodgy journeyman Naylor?

Whatever you want to believe Joe.

Tomorrow, i think we will see team along the similier lines of the starting line up against St Mirren but i think Chris Killen will get his first start so big Jan will get the chance to rest his dodgy hammies, calf's and back before oor Champs League trip.

Killen first goal scorer..you know it makes sense.
