Loan Hoops - Update

Correct as of 21/11/11


On the 1st of January Dominic Cervi, Morten Rasmussen, Jos Hooiveld & Greig Spence shall all return. The rest of the loanees shall return in the summer. I think possibly Jos Hooiveld has still a place at Celtic after he returns and I would desperately love to see Efraín Juárez back in the squad. Curiously enough Morten Rasmussen could also still be a useful squad player. I've still time for Daryl Murphy after his goal against Dundee Hibernian. Here is the list of our 10 players out on loan and some information.

Season long loan deal, made 16 appearances scored twice.

Celtic produced a vintage performance today to close the gap on 1st place with a delightful and memorable win against a thuggish ICT side today in the Highlands.

Stokes was the man in form with his two goals, both Professional and clinical efforts.

I was delighted to see the return of Ki to the team who has been diagnosed with a mystery illness a couple of weeks ago, heralding the return of the play maker. I can see Celtic improving still further with the return of Kelvin Wilson & Emilio Izaguirre in the future. Combined with captain Brown.

Celtic have also announced the signing of Andre Blackman on a free contract. Expect many more in the winter window.
