really get their signings right this time and I know it's easier said than done Celtic did spend a fair bit of money last summer on guys like Balotwisha, Tenetke all these players there's others that you know lasted a couple of months and were shipped out on loan Shin Yamada, Hayato, Anamura guys like that so they need to get it right this year and that's what I was saying earlier on
you know I think a lot of Celtic fans would quite like Martin O'Neill to stay on but I would imagine that Martin will want assurances that he will get the backing that if money is brought in for the likes of Arnie Engels it's going to be reinvested in both quality experience additions but also emerging talent as you said as well in terms of Iannaccio I think I would probably would give him the other year Oxlade-Chamberlain I'm not so sure I just don't think he's played enough and I actually thought his post-match interview yesterday hinted towards the fact that he knows he's going
Yeah and that's something going to stand still and that's you know that has always been the case they'll always look to get stronger they've got signings lined up already but it's hard to replace guys like Laurence Shanklin like Craig Halkett so that will be the task facing Derek and his coaching staff and the Jamestown analytics that are looking at it just now and who is the best person to come in it might be with Shanklin that you need to go and get a couple you know he spoke about Rogers Mattel coming in in January hardly kicked a ball
Two local teams, two big clubs that want to be in the Premiership next year.
Wish Mark and Alec all the best.
Wish St Mirren all the best as well.
I feel it's evenly poised, but I actually think Partick Fish will make it.
Yes, Andrew, and I think, I know it's hard, but I think we have to forget the top of the table for a little while at the very least and focus on the bottom.
And Cammy said it's a blockbuster.
What a game this is going to be.
St Mirren sit in 11th place in that relegation playoff spot on 30 points.
Kilmarnock sit 10th, just one point above them on 31.
If Neil McCann's side can leave Paisley for a win, and it's a big if,
You have to imagine that would be a major step towards safety, but likewise St Mirren, what a chance they've got to go above their rivals and try and get three points here.
Craig McLeish, you said they've lost their last three in the league, they badly need to get back to winning ways or they could be heading for that playoff spot.
They've got a trip to Pataudry in midweek to face former manager Stephen Robinson and they really want to be going there on a high.
As for Kelly, I think their first task is to make sure they can last 60 seconds without conceding.
Dale McCann's side have shipped goals inside the first minute in their last three away games against Falkirk, against Hibs, against Aberdeen.
It's an unbelievable start.
If they can get past that mark, they will feel they've got a chance here and they're obviously boosted by that 3-0 win over Dundee United last weekend.
