Just wondering what people here think about ex players coming back to Celtic in general? With the likes of ki or mcgeady maybe looking to move from their current clubs. I'm not sure.

Very rarely works out to in my opinion. Would have mcgeady back anyway.

Off the top of my head; Charlie Nicholas, Andy Walker, Frank MacAvennie and Shaun Maloney had fairly average returns after their initial spell in the Hoops. - Although Bertie Auld did excel in his second period and became a legend.
It would seem difficult to recapture the initial form and success, but there may be other exceptions that I can't remember?

Only 3 worth taking back would be VVD, wanyama and big forster.

I am not one for bringing players back. They are never the same and many of them feel it is a comedown having left the club for better challenges. Coming back, in many cases, is like admitting failure. Just my take on players returning to their former clubs. (same as players at the end of their career coming to Celtic etc. as they always admired and were big fans with an ambition to play for us. Mostly male cow droppings. If they loved us that much then they would have signed earlier instead of looking for a payday. Not very often are these win/ win scenarios)

I'd have both back no problem ki is a fine footballer mcgeady would still do a job for us.

Big Forster hasn't exactly set the heather on fire .

T T T, you are right his form this season has been very poor and he is dropped .
I don't think B R would have him as he is very poor with the ball at his feet, we may not be happy with Gordon but with Forster we would have more problems.

McGeady is hopeless, nothing but a sand dancer with no end product.

there is no natural law that Staes players going back can't wok. that's a superstition. Its down to the player and they ain't cursed. It isn't a thing. It may seem like a thing to people, but that doesn't make it one.

I'm not sure anyone we could afford to come back would improve us though. that's the problem. Playersyers sometimes return when they are on the slide. Its not going back that fecks it up, its time.

Dafabet u are right about McGready, only a shadow of the player with us .
I would think Ki or Johanson as possible.
