Celtic Support Undecided Over Robson Move…
Last week we posted a poll asking YOU the Celtic support if it was a good move for Celtic to let midfield dynamo Barry Robson leave the club.
As Robbo makes his move to join former Hoops boss Gordon Strachan at Middlesbrough, the Faithful are still not sure letting the player go is such a good idea.
At the time of writing 39% want Robson to remain not only a player at Celtic Park but see him as a fixture in the team. While 36% think Tony Mowbray is doing the right thing by cashing in on the 31 year-old while he can.
Meanwhile 25 % are not sure either way.
But it doesn’t really matter what we think, tomorrow Barry Robson will be paraded as a Middlesbrough player. Good luck to him, we can never doubt that he gave 100% every time he pulled on the Hoops.
(I don’t think the departure of Gary Caldwell would have split the support so much!)
Still, good luck to The Heid too!
You Decide….
When the usual suspects were mentioned about leaving Celtic Park, Gary Caldwell, Willo Flood, Mark Wilson, the name of Barry Robson was all of a sudden thrown into the ring.
Apparently Barry wants to play in the middle of the midfield, something that might just happen while Landry N’Guemo is away on international duty for Cameroon. Until now he’s been out on the left or right.
Also, we here that Boro are about to double his wages, something the 31-year old will have to take into consideration as he will be probably looking at the last contract of his playing career.
But what do you think?
Should Tony Mowbray let Barry Robson leave Celtic Park?

Three Out, One In…..
Although most of the media speculation is centred on the immediate departure to Middlesbrough of Gary Caldwell, Willo Flood and surprisingly Barry Robson, we have it on good authority that the proposed loan deal for Robbie Keane is still on the cards.
Rumour has it that the ‘tab’ for Robbie’s wage package and bonus money will be met by a ‘mysterious’ Irish businessman.
Of course this deal has been doing the rounds for a while now, however there’s no smoke without fire.
Personally, Robbie Keane doesn’t excite me but I can understand that the Premiership player coming in to Paradise would generate great interest among the Faithful.
I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see……..
Great News Robbo…..
I’ve just been reading this morning that Barry Robson intends to take Celtic’s free-kicks from now on after scoring midweek against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
That means Danny Fox will have to play second fiddle when it comes to set pieces, hopefully including corners.
In fact, when Shaun Maloney comes back from injury…..Danny Bhoy will have to play third fiddle…
So, the ex-Coventry man can concentrate on becoming a better defender and show the Celtic support that he’s a better option than want away full back Lee Naylor!
Mogga sang his praises about his cultured left foot when he arrived, lifting the hopes of the Faithful that we might have a classy left back, but so far it’s not worked out that way.
It’s up to Danny Fox to prove Tony right and prove he’s worthy of wearing in the Hoops…..
Samaras Puts Bhoys On Their Way….
A header from Georgios Samaras after 29 minutes put Celtic one up against the surprise table toppers from Tel Aviv. Sammy met Aiden’s pinpoint cross perfectly and duly dispatched the ball past Hapoel’s Nigerian keeper.
Hapoel’s manager had made noises in the press about coming to Celtic Park to attack the Bhoys but in reality that never happened.
You just had a feeling that tonight Celtic were going to win this match no matter what.
And we had enough chances in the first half to make the game comfortable but once again failed to convert them, the most notable falling to Sammy who almost leisurely flicked the ball against the post.
But the Hoops weren’t to be denied.The game effectively over on sixty eight minutes.
After more chances went a begging Celtic were awarded a free-kick twenty five yards from goal. Luckily for the Bhoys Barry Robson waved Danny Fox away and took the kick himself.
Barry blasted the ball into the bottom corner to give Celtic a 2-0 lead and Tony Mowbray his first European win at Celtic Park.
As the game pettered out both Marc-Antoine Fortune and Skippy missed glorious chances to make the scoreline even more convincing.
Still, our aim of winning the three home games on the bounce is two-thirds there, now for the Sheep on Saturday!
