Isn’t it strange that the keeper at a big club like Celtic was ours till we got rid for just a few quid.

Not especially, because you don't have to be particularly good to play in goal for Celtic.

Louie Barry hat-trick.

Three really nice finishes. He’s TEMU Robben from the other side.
Surely he'd do better than Bailey

Could we get Dobbin back for the last four league games? He couldn't be any worse than the Sancho/Bailey option.

Probably worthy of debate for Barry, Broggio and Dobbin.

I was going to reply "No, because Scottish football is shite" but of course Dave managed to say as much in a much more reasonable manner.

Speaking of Celtic goalies, If my surname were Bonner I'd have picked a much less controversial version of Patrick as my first name.

They shouldn't have let him advise on the name of the Dambusters' dog, either.

The gene pool needed deepening in fairness.
