JOHNNY Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Celtic will have money available to find a striker. Whether they have enough to buy someone of the same class as Larsson is another story. I must question though, if Celtic really need anyone of that class to remain in front of the remainder of the SPL. While they may be winning games by a few clear goals at the moment, the team minus Larsson will still surely have enough firepower in Hartson, Sutton, Thompson and Petrov (not to mention their youngsters coming through) to win games. In Europe, Larsson does not dominate in the same manner as in domestic games, so may not be missed to the extent expected in that arena either. Only time will tell. Who knows what signings Martin O'neill will pull out the bag in the summer. With Rangers current debt, I'd be very surprised to see any big names at Ibrox next season. The name being mentioned at the moment is Alex Rae of Wolves. He will be 35 in the summer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Now this all raises the question: Will this be the time when the gap closes in the SPL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
