i would leave hooper on the bench
for the benfica match. looks totally
uninterested all season and takes his
position for granted.
i would start with tony watt and
miku .if lassad was match fit he
would be in contention.
i do like hooper when he is at the
top of his game but its just not
happening enough, might be the
boot up the backside he needs.

I think what everyone is forgetting about Hooper is that he is a goalscorer. For him to do this we must create chances for him. This is the problem, as we are not. Brown and Wanyama are not very good at passing a ball and Forrest is not very good at crossing the ball. As Stokes is injured this only leaves Commons to create the chances. Have you not noticed that Hooper is dropping deeperand deeper in every passing game. On Saturday he was quite often further back than Forrest, but was this as a result of this player being lazy and not getting back.

I don't know how you can start with the new lad after Saturday. I don't want to judge after one game , it takes time to settle , but one thing you must expect on a debut is work rate and I never saw that

I agree op everyone is forgetting that hooper is a goal scorer ... think it might be to do with he fact hes stopped scoring goals thou

If my memory serves me right, Hooper has scored against both European teams we have played this season, if he keeps that up I will be happy.......best of times for all on Wed night

Not a rumour but does anybody know where I can purchase the new home shirt in Doncaster? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks

Online from the celtic site

I'm not ordering online because I'm unsure of the size

If you are 40-42 inch chest xl 42-46 xxl as big as they come. 38-40 l 36-38 m below that small

the biggest shock in scottish football history. used to be berwick beating 1872 or us losing to ict. why has this headline been dropped.. newco are a team of spl players who have not won an away game in three attempts in the turd division , is it just lazy journalism or are they just saying nothing and hope we will not notice. 0-0 annan , laughable.. shamrock

Heard the statement after game at weekend that it was a famous win for st.johnstone! FFS says it all an established spl team on their own patch and it's a famous result? Total over exaggeration especially since they've beaten us a few times before.

Nobody has mentioned euan norris's match changing decision in the 25th minute apart from stonewall penalty anderson was the last man and should have been sent off, again i call for refs to be questioned further, lets do it now rankers have died and we wont get accused of paranoia,.,.kbarry

If managers, coaching staff and players get summoned to SFA for discipline, why not referees and linesmen?
It's the spl's league and the integrity of the league is dubious due to refs. The SPL need to haul the refs in for examination/ sacking/ down rating/ more competence training/ fine them for poor performance, worst refs in the European game...... SPL needs to get a grip of it or get refs from elsewhere.

I mentioned it about 13hours before you did bud at 12:59:55

But her at Inverness heavily criticising refs, Aberdeen appealing a red card and an apaling decision not to give Celtic a penalty and send off the offender. The SPL is being refereed by incompetents. The SPL board need to do something tangible or the integrity of the competition is under question.
