Forget All About Our Transfer Targets....... Let's Sign This Guy Instead!

How many players have Celtic been linked with this season? From McCarthy to Snodgrass and Flores to Mutch, many names have been mooted as potential targets and with Brendan Rodgers calling the shots completely at Celtic Park we can guarantee that whoever does come in will be someone our manager actually wants. Celtic will have scouts all over Europe keeping tabs on the best players available and every one will be brought in with the intent of making the team more competitive in the Champions League. However what if we are being too broad in our searches? Supposing there was a guy playing in Scotland right now we that could potentially lure with the promise of Champions League football? Who am I talking about?...... the wonderful Rob Kiernan of course.

Rangers legend and Sevco assistant manager Davie Weir, took time out from his busy schedule of moaning about Sevco's critics to give the lo-down on the centre half and apparently Rob Kiernan is - wait for it....... Champions League class! Jeez this is getting beyond parody now isn't it? Sometimes you just have to put rivalries aside and feel for a human being who has clearly lost the plot. What next Davie? Josh Windass is the new Pele? Joe Garner is a good striker?......... oh wait scrub that last one, I am so sorry Warbs.

Davie was speaking to the media when he made this bold claim and immediately our most respected reporters interrupted him with a well timed "Davie your talking pure mince" No?... OK this inability for any of our hacks to actually ask a follow up question is why the Sevconians get away with spouting whatever unrealistic, fairytale land nonsense that enters their heads that day. It's not even close to being remotely true that Rob is Champions League class, in fact it is actually debatable whether he is fact Scottish Premier League class. Arrogance from the Sevco ship and all who sail in her isn't exactly a new thing but once again you have to ask just what is going on over there?

This author is curious as to whether any fans of the zombie club actually believe the rubbish being spouted. If they do then serious questions need to be asked because if it isn't dodgy Dave in the boardroom taking them for a ride, it's dimwitted Dave in the dugout. Why don't they ever question these statements and wonder just how low an opinion of them those inside Ibrox must have? Mark Warburton and Davie Weir could come out and state that Celtic aren't actually top, it's all an illusion and some of their fans would probably start counting the days until they are handed the league flag.

All of this brings us nicely back to us and our Champions League aspirations for next season. Let's burst the bank to bring Rob Kiernan to Celtic Park. Who needs big Jozo and Erik when the future Matthias Sammer is right under our noses. We can get this deal over the line if we move quickly. Brendan can really lay down a marker for next season and that can only be a good thing for Celtic. Let's do it!

Hail Hail
