BBC and PLZ soccer pundit Tam McManus has thrown a left field, cheap, stop gap transfer suggestion onto social media this evening and it’s not going down well with many Celtic supporters.
In what almost looks like an agent speaking out on his clients behalf, McManus talks up a Celtic move for Steven Fletcher – yes, you read that right.
The one that got away all those years ago under Gordon Strachan during the infamous window where we needed a striker and got Willo Flood instead. Fletcher moved down south from Hibernian and has been there ever since, now setting up home back in Scotland – McManus believes Celtic could do a lot worse than signing the 33-year-old front man.
McManus even says the striker wants the move.
Have it on good authority that Steven Fletcher is very keen on a move to Celtic. Just moved back up here and bought a place in Glasgow. 33 but great pro/fit as a fiddle. Available on a free. Wages wouldn’t be an issue. Surely would do job at Parkhead even as cover for Edouard?

Celtic have four strikers on their books at the moment but so much is up in the air with Leigh Griffiths. Bayo has been very prone to injury and Klimala is an unknown quantity.
Could Fletcher play a supporting role?
He had his chance another numpty
Have it on Good Authority???
He can Jog On
Was it Stoke he chose back Then
When We wanted him
Had his chance to join
And chose Elsewhere
Be decent for Hibs,Maybe
Get real – Bayo is useless , Klimala may not make it, and Griffiths may take the pet – what have we then – correct ONE front player who Lawwell would sell if given £20k (yes £20k)(he’d sell his Granny for less) – Question then with the number of games to play this year Odsone is going to get get chopped at some point (players at sevco would happily put him out of the game ala Barry Ferguson take a red for the team!) – I’m afraid 10 can only be a dream unless Lennon gets re-inforcements !!!!!!!!
