Celtic set to put leigh out on loan as he needs games and is down the pecking order at Celtic.

According to the Record.......

Maybe we can stick in a cheeky bid of £150K in January. You never know.

Not really fussed with McNulty if I'm honest. He's struggling to score goals in League 1 for a team that despite it's struggles is playing on the front foot a lot. If he was free then maybe. But I'm certainly glad we didn't pay money for him in the summer as some wanted.

Bring him in and get rid of the manager or this has all the marks of Fenlon Episode 2..

Not sure what this means.

Fenlon took a team that could have got relegated to reasonably comfortable safety and a cup final.

In the next season and a bit his teams generally averaged 4th to 5th place. We spent more time in 1st and 2nd than we ever did in the bottom 4 places.

We dipped into the bottom six just at the wrong time at the end of that season not helped by 2 horrendous refereeing decisions. We then won was it 5 of our games in that half and got to another cup final.

I don’t think we were bottom six when he left.

We’re miles away from the heights of being a Fenlon Episode 2.

Fenlon wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination. But I think he was actually fairly adequate and capable of taking what was a horrendously average squad and making them difficult to beat and keeping us above water and generally being competitive without ever being exciting, albeit 5-1 and Malmo hung over him like a bad smell.

I don't think as a team we were far off being something similar to what Tommy Wright did with St Johnstone over the years we were in the Championship. I think it's probably telling of how "good" a job he did do with that squad when you consider he had us mid table then Butcher sank them.

We had won 4 times in the whole year at home under Fenlon, one was against Stranraer and we had been humiliated (again) by Malmo then emptied out the cup by hearts in administration. It was definitely time for Fenlon to leave but at the same time you’re right - he actually improved us from the position he found us in. The opposite of Heckingbotton in terms of squad wise if not league position.

Eh. He was banging them in every week when he went down there. McNulty is exactly what we are missing.

**Stokesy's on fire** · 23-10-2019 07:33 AM

LG is the answer but there is no chance we will get him...won't be shocked if the sheep get him on loan though

***Keith_M*** · 23-10-2019 07:42 AM

The only LG we have a chance of getting is a Mobile Phone

***JohnM1875*** · 23-10-2019 07:46 AM

Don't see why we wouldn't have as good a chance of anyone if he was to go out on loan.

He'd be close to Celtic so they could monitor him, playing every week at a club he loves so would help him, couldn't play against Celtic but could against the likes of Rangers given us more chance to take points off them. Boosting Celtic's chances of winning the league.

He scored once in his final 8 games.

Give us something we are missing - at the right price I think he would be perfect foil up front ....

Why would they be more likely?

**~~The_Horde~~** · 23-10-2019 09:13 AM

I'd rather we gave Shaw a run in the team than take a player on loan from one of the ugly sisters again.

I know exactly how you feel but Celtic have really only borrowed him until he comes home

**hibbydog** · 23-10-2019 11:55 AM

Is there a rule against playing a loan striker as a lone striker?

If so we play him up top with Kamberi

**Hibiza** · 23-10-2019 12:06 PM

Come home Sir.

hfc rd · 23-10-2019 12:08 PM

Absolute no brainier!

Bring him back home!

**Haymaker** · 23-10-2019 12:08 PM

***Hibs4185*** · 23-10-2019 12:48 PM

We will probably get LG, and have him and Kamberi on the bench whilst Heckingbottom persists with Doidge

***Keith_M*** · 23-10-2019 01:02 PM

The guy's only scored 9 goals in two years.

I think we should be setting our sights a bit higher than that.

Only Kidding :-)

You're gonna regret quoting this

Agreed, he was mince after the split.

At least he’s not going to be the loan Lone Ranger anytime soon 😉

To be honest my analysis went as far as "***** team plus Griffths" before posting

**Begbie79** · 23-10-2019 02:29 PM

Celtic want a loan deal only if theres a fee involved at the end of it so i think he will head down south.

They want him punted as he had a proper square go in training with Greg Taylor.

***Diclonius*** · 23-10-2019 02:33 PM

♫ It's beginning to look a lot like (the) Griffiths (thread) ♫

Indeed and it would miss every call.
