With a crisis looming in the centre of the Celtic defence, the board have swung into action and made a bid for Honduran winger Luis Palma.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fair enough, he looks the part and fits the current profile of incoming players, but unless there’s a plan in place to strengthen the back four ahead of a couple of important games, it looks like our custodians have completely lost the plot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tierney saga took another twist yesterday when one of our pish stained sources pointed out that the reason he hasn’t gone anywhere else is that he doesn’t want to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He doesn;t want to stay at Arsenal and their manager Mikael Arteta doesn’t want him there. They don’t see eye to eye and had a bit of a rammy last season when Tierney complained about a lack of game time and Arteta sent him the bill for his treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He wants out and has decided where he wants to go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our support needs a boost and our team needs an experienced defender. Even if it is only short term,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes that rainy day cash might not represent value for money but it’s there to make sure the rain stops for a bit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The diary has often pointed out that the Celtic PR department is lacking in one or two aspects of it’s job, like doing good PR, and they have been presented with an open goal here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surely they can see that ?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Probably<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can hope I suppose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is a serious matter to be dealt with, from last Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were a couple of shall we say controversial incidents in the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There has been no comment and no retrospective inquiry into this offence, which should be surprising , but isn’t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Incident that seen Taylor go off for treatment on a cut was caused by this elbow thrown by the Kilmarnock player. https:\/\/t.co\/FuiCktn385<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/XQo8lcEZWk<\/a><\/p>\n
