Back in Scotland to visit family. Reading a certain paper, can anybody shed light on any reason to allow a big mouth biased ex Celtic player write a column?
Hartson was never a great player and I don't know if he is an ambassador for Celtic but you would think he is the way he writes!

I am a bluenose thru and thru, to say Hartson wasnt a great player is ridiculous. He was terrific for Celtic and always produced the goods against us.

Not signing fat John when we had the chance was a massive error.

Never read his column but it can't be worse than Suttons.

I'm glad we never signed hartson not because he wasn't a good player but because we signed Ronald de boer instead.

It wasn't an error, he failed a fitness test. We had been burnt previously on signing the likes of Prodan etc. I think he also failed a test at Spurs, if memory serves me right.

Gdog, that's my opinion on the guy. He wasn't a great player for me, a good player yes but not great.
28 May 2016 16:02:18
He was ok I wouldn't say great player.

I agree Rafbob, since when did a lumbering, one dimensional battering ram constitute being a great player? Celtic played a horrible brand of long/ high ball football at the time. The only thing I can say is that he played to his strengths, height and weight and weight.

We were supposed to sign both Hartson and De Boer on the same day until Bunter failed his medical. Decent player, nothing more.

Tam, that's the same as I think and I can't see him as ever being a great player.

Rafbob
The reason he writes in the paper is because he tries to be controversial and get people talking which he does. As for his ability good player who had a good career but not great player.

Biffo, the guy is basically on level with those, "my teams better than your team" kids and the papers in Scotland love a wind up.
Had a good few years with Celtic and scored the majority of his career goals up here but that was all he did. Nothing special.
