I'm very excited about the second half of the season. I think we already have the nucleus of a good team, we've just not had a big enough squad to cope with injuries and suspensions to key players. With four or five new additions this month (including Mueller and Tait) and even the likes of Hallberg back from injury, I can see us having a really strong end to the season. Europe is still very realistic.

Very similar to the Macey deal.

I don't think Macey was ever on loan? Signed a six-month deal then a two-year one, did he not?

That's potentially going to be #Hibs front three if rumours are to be believed.

Incredible🤌

Just wait until he hears about Martin Boyle

6 month loan so he stays on his Arsenal wage and then joins us permanently in the summer after signing a pre contract?

That's more likely, Loan with agreement of permanent, Hibs paying a portion of his Arsenal wages, until the point he signs a perm.

I think we still have a decent chance at third place. Hearts are good, no doubt about it, and they’re consistent, but they’re catchable

Celtic produce more pro players than any Scottish club?

How many games will Boyle miss when he plays for Australia?

He’s had a shocker for that goal but I’m sure every CB in the league has been badly at fault for the odd goal by this point in the season.

Over the 18 games he’s had rave reviews.

Ralston was right place right time as they had no other RB’s for the new guy to pick or he’d be out same as Welsh who is now fading out the side as they recruit others, Mickey Johnston is being hounded by the fans for not being good enough, guys like tierney and macgregor are exceptions to what normally happens with old firm youngsters they fill a gap when it’s desperate and then their replaced

Is that Oko-flex? He's a good example, was highly rated at Arsenal, brought in to Celtic by Rodgers, never got much of a look in and has done well again at West Ham since he left Celtic. Might get a run out in the FA Cup and then a loan move would be good for him to continue his development. Wouldn't have got any of that if he stayed at Celtic.

Of course we do. We have to play them three more times. If the club aren’t eyeing third place as possible then something is wrong

So do I. If we win the derby it's definitely game on.

Henderson told he is free to leave Celtic.

Tbh, considering the run we went on which lead to JRs sacking, it’s a minor miracle we’re only 7 points behind 3rd - bit embarrassing too really for Hearts that they’re not a lot further ahead.

Did McGinn not have a knock in the Aberdeen game and missed the Dundee Utd game with an injury. It might be he is cover for him if he is going to be out for a while. Just thinking laterally if you see what I mean. Could be completely wrong though

I’d hope we are looking for an upgrade on McGinn.

The signing of Harry Clarke will push McGinn down the pecking order, terrific young signing with bundles of energy and pace. Very physical player too.

McGinn has been awful this season and most of the goals conceded have come from his area. Dependable player but horribly off form.

The Ewan Henderson signing is one that excites me, he's a player with lots to offer and loads of development ahead of him. Really good technical player :aok:

Where do you see Henderson playing? Central midfielder or a creative player off the wings?

To be honest he's quite versatile that way, for me though, he's a 10 role centrally dictating the attacking play. I watched him at Dunfermline a couple of times and he drifted out wider, left side cutting in. He's extremely good technically and retaining possession in tight areas and is not afraid to demand the ball. The only weakness is his lack of physique and his technique makes up for a lack of pace.

Would be a very very good signing though.

Thought so.

Just need to announce them now!

Fingers crossed we get them over the line (that’s my only worry now)

That would mean Nisbet and Boyle offski if that turned out to be true, hell of a young line up though.

Mentioned earlier in the thread but I personally thought he'd be out our range price wise, looks a right talent.

Liam had contributed greatly to his teams successes on loans at Rosenborg and Hibs while Ewan has unremarkable spells at Ross County and Dunfermline. At nearly 22, Ewan has played hardly any first team football, starting less than 20 first team games in his career across his different clubs.

I looked this up the other day as well after being told this by my mate who knows some Celtic fans. Euan’s played a fraction of the matches that Liam’s played at the same age. Only 8 games for Celtic so no idea how the Celtic fans can make the leap to say he’s better.

That’s not to say he won’t be but at the age of 22 he’s played 25 first team games so let’s not set expectations too high.
