Highly doubt hes a replacement for Edouard, most likely for Griffiths, if the reports of his return to training in an awful state are through, its time to cut him off. He's got huge support from fans and the club.

Given loss of income, I dont think the club will be spending huge money on Edouards replacement if they plan on holding him for one more year which is why Fletcher as back up is a sensible move.

I’d agree, fletcher looks to be a reaction to the fact griffiths can’t be relied on. Then we have Kilmala who is improving and bayo who’s a dud.

You can't assume anything with celtic but if he is a replacement for Edouard it'd be an absolute disgrace.

I think Toney could potentially be an immediate or future replacement type of signing (a bit underwhelming compared to Edouard but has goals in him)

What would spook me a bit was the attempt to sign Parrot on loan - thats a short term move that would cost quite a bit, doesn’t make sense if he wasn’t viewed as a starter

I see some fans are up in arms at the prospect of this over in twitterland - because rangers have signed 2 promising looking strikers.

The scenarios are different - they need to replace their main man who is either off or agitating to be off. Defoe can still finish but he isn’t anywhere near capable of being the main man every week anymore - his role will continue to reduce.

It appears we are in the market because 4th choice striker Bayo is a dud and 2nd choice striker Griffiths is good but unreliable.

Assuming Edouard is staying for now (or a separate plan in place to replace him if he’s being sold) Fletcher makes perfect sense. Cheap/enthusiastic/fairly good/allows a different style of play.

Aberdeen situation is easy to dismiss - you can clearly link the outbreak to their own wrong behaviour.

What happens when we see team outbreaks where there is no known breach of protocol? Is it fair that those teams suffer.

If that situation arises, it'll have to be looked at. But when you are meant to be operating within a "footballing bubble" and you decide to hit a pub then you deserve what you get. I'd go as far to say that if you do that, and don't get infected, you should get an SFA ban.

Aberdeen game now called off.

Their game against St Mirren this weekend is going ahead. Their own fault. No one forced their players into a pub.

Eddie will be gone this time next year. Realistically we should be signing his replacement this season to give time to bed in.

Not sure how much game time he would get but it'd be no harm, great finisher. Would like to see a bit of cover at fullback now
