Who’s next?

Glasgow Science Tower come in, your time as the dominating force in Clydeside loftiness is up! Celtic are threatening to unleash no less than ‘the next Peter Crouch‘ on the green city. At only 19, young Ulsterman Kyle Lafferty has already notched up seven caps for Norniron. And he’s 6′4”. Crouch, of course, had a spell at Aston Villa, formerly home to…

…David Weir, who joined from Everton yesterday until the season’s end. His signing is continued evidence that, contrary to all that stuff in the papers last week, Walter Smith will continue to work with the Scotland squad after all. Rumours persist that Gers fan Lee McCulloch will soon join from Wigan (though their initial £750,000 bid ain’t getting a look-in from Paul Jewell) and Smith is a well-known admirer of Paul Hartley.

…Hibs, former home to Garry O’Connor, who continues to give a big fat ‘niet’ to a future at Lokomotiv Moscow. But the Ruskies want £1.6m for their man and no loan deals, please. Not exactly what you’d expect to pay for a man with only 25 appearances and eight goals since signing last year. Now Russia ain’t far from Georgia, is it…

…whence Hearts are set to sign Gogita Gogua. In a day comparatively thriving in comparisons, ex-Ger Shota Arveladze claims he’s ‘the next Gattuso’. Just remember who told you first: ‘the next McCoist’.
