Totally agree with comments, would love to see him back to what he was before original injury, but worry that such serious injurys so young mean he ll never be the player he could have been, thing is, is the player he can be now good enough for Celtic? I know i might upset a few poeple by saying that but we should be realistic.
Good luck to him though

I agree with all the previuos comments, John was a good player before the injury, and I may add a horrible challenge it was, anyway to him and hope he can at least get some form back, and who knows he may get back us.

Sounds like we have done a shrewd bit of business..

We seriously need a great central defender..

Hopefully Roeder will give him a starting berth in place of Docherty who although a good player has more arms than an octopus and uses them at every opportunity to give away free kicks in poor areas...

Im sure he will enjoy it down here.. we might be a 'small' club but 25000+ home gates every week is not too bad for the Championship..

Fozzie actually started to show form towards the end of last year and Marshall is different class ..

Have a great season... if the 'gers' decide to sign Etuhu from Sunderland they must be desperate.... he only plays for 5 minutes per match.. so if thats the best they can find I'd better mortgage my house on you winning the league again!

I just hope that JFK manages to have an injury free 6 months. I still think that there's an outside chance that he'll team up with Mick to be our centre back pairing for the future. As I'm exiled down in England I'll try to take in a Norwich game when I'm not up at Paradise.

Hopefully Riordan will follow him. I think Norwich only need one more striker now.

All good sensible comments, JK was a fast improving defender prior to the injury and I, like many had high hopes that he would go on to become a top class player. Lets all hope he can get back to that standard and beyone to become a class act both for Celtic and Scotland again!

Riordan would be most welcome... we still need 2 .. both 6' plus.... and then we will have the best squad in the Championship (outside of QPR who seem to buy anything that walks..)

good choice NOT UEFA cup or championship why did shellik want a loan fee and Motherwell to pay all his wages, if he played well the would want him back sharpish and if he got Injured would well still have to pay? hope you enjoy Blackpool istead of Europe John

As a passionate Celtic and Brighton fan, i'd like to put my fellow Celtic fans straight on Adam Virgo. Being an Albion fan i knew about Virgo a long time before he moved to Celtic and i know his style of play much more than 95% Celtic fans do. He was actually a really good player when he signed for Celtic a good strong versatile defender who did'nt moan and was happy to play in all positions for Brighton, scored lots of important goals for us. When he moved to Celtic i was delighted for both my teams, delighted for Brighton as they got a badly needed 1.5 million for their new stadium and i was happy as a Celtic fan as we signed a good player who was not money grabbing like big jan and was prepared to get on with it. It's a shame that Strachan didnt give him his chance, Strachan has absolubtly destroyed 2 decent young Scottish players in Virgo and Riordan and wasted a shit load of money for Celtic in signing good players them but deciding to stick with crap like Caldwell, Naylor and Killen. I'd like to advise my fellow Celtic supporters to do their homework on new signings before they comment on them, rather than judging them on one or two meaningless friendlies, there is more to a book than it's cover. Albion for the championship,hoops for the title!!!

We will welcome him with open arms, with regards to the Celtic reserves comment above, they just like to come down to play in sunlight sometimes
