The squad will be bolstered over the next few weeks in complete different circumstances.
Scott Brown is returning from injury and Biram Kayal promised this week: “Now I’m starting to warm-up with the first-team after training alone with the doctor and feel very good. So I think I’ll be able to come back to training in a week for the first-team. If I feel fit and 100 per cent I want to come back and to play and help the team.”
The Asian Cup has  now confirmed the casualties of Cha Du Ri and Ki Sueng Yung. The red tinged bush of Ki will be missed but the jury will be split on Cha. I’m hoping that Efrain Juarez admits he is a right back.
Big Duncan Rasmussen time in Germany has been as impoverished as his time here. Â “It’s no secret that we are not always satisfied.” admitted Mainz manager Thomas Tuchel as the club prepared to send home the Dane citing that ” Both sides expected more”.
With Lazio offering Samaras a chance to run around aimlessly in Rome then the returning Rasmussen could find himself back in the fold. Him or the Irish Chris Killen to bring on when we are struggling? I’m not writing the Dane off yet.

Thecelticblog has recently joined Picklive, which has been described as “a new whole realm of entertainment” by the BBC and it’s well known that they don’t lie. Ok, they call Strictly Come Dancing ‘entertainment’ but let’s ride with it.
This is Fantasy Football for the Ipod generation with instant monetary rewards if you pick the correct 3 players. How to play is here, the scoring is here and those rules are here.
Best of all your Free Trial is HERE.

I’m with you, I still think Rasmussen can play a part. Surely if Murphy is getting a game on the back of being a player who holds the ball up then Rasmussen has a chance! Coming off the bench he scored a few goals!
Murphy is as dangerous as a one winged budgie. The Irish Chris Killen.
Murphy is the only player in our team apart from big fan who can win a header. I wouldn’t write him off just yet. Big jan was pure shite but his massive head scored plenty of goals cuz he was a physical presence.
Behave, Big Jan was a good big all round player until injuries blunted him. His first two seasons were excellent. Murphy and him shouldn’t be uttered in the same decade nevermind breath.
I meant big dan not ‘fan’. I think you are bring harsh on Murphy and easy on big jan. I think we all had a soft spot for big jan because of that video of him singing fields of athenry!
Big Murphy was unfortunately judged before he even kicked a Baw in the Hoops.
His previous reputation went before him.
I’m not a Fan of his, but one thing the big Man has which a lot of them don’t have in that squad ?
Is a love for the Hoops,He understands what we are about, And even thou he isn’t the best of player’s, He doesn’t shy away, He runs himself into the ground every game.
If only more in the squad had that same attitude.
He for me isn’t a first starter, but he is the type of player I’d like to see mixing it up against the likes of the huns, when we in a scrappy battle.
Rasmussen would be welcomed back IMO, He I believe was sent away to Mainz not because he was mince, but a party head and attitude apparently.
When he came of the Bench for us last season he was a good poacher who got a few vital goals, I reckon he could do a job for us.
Especially when all our players are dropping like fly’s with injury’s this season.
That’s Maloney out AGAIN,( 3 months), I think it is time Celtic released this Lad,It’s happening to often for my liking.
Bring in a Mentor Celtic !!!!
