Agreed. Very thin on the ground indeed.

You actually make a good point.

Taking out Clarke, who are our best managers? McLeish? Levein? Moyes? Three dinosaurs. 

Bang goes the days of us saying "We haven't got good players, but at least we've got good managers".

Oliver Burke linked with a loan move to Celtic in January on the BBC 

From a Celtic POV, I'm not sure we need a right-winger that can't get a game for West Brom. We have Forrest and Morgan already.

From a Scotland POV, Burke clearly has something about him. Rodgers could be the ideal manager to get it out of him.

Seems a strange one. Burke didn't look out of place when I saw him with Leipzig, and I went out of my way to watch him. Seems he was unable to accurately follow instructions/positional play/defensive work etc. Certainly expected him to be playing regularly and ripping up the Championship this season. Has power and pace, maybe a wee bit lacking in technical aspects to be a truly great player, but certainly should be aiming for cutting it at EPL level. Needs to play. Must be a central striker plan if Celtic want him. Unfortunately I fear he would be a huge success in our league.

He can play uptop too with pace and a presence - could be something in that?

Interesting one.

Rangers maybe need him more.

Oliver Burke is a strange one. He reminds me of Matthew Le Tissier (Not because of talent). Both were/are gifted players, but neither of them particularly liked/like to run and track-back. 

Like Le Tissier, Burke has to be managed by a manager who indulges him and lets him do his own thing. Le Tissier can owe his career to Alan Ball, however, Burke has yet to find a manager who will tolerate his lack of workrate.

It's a misconception that Burke "doesn't care", it's more that he doesn't like tracking back and working for the team.

Both Gauld and Burke would both be a good fit for Rangers and it would be good for their careers. Gauld in particular is the type of player they need for home games. 

Gauld needs something anyway. He’s basically lost 4 years of his career out there it seems.

Unsure who he even is but Stuart McKinstrey (16 year old winger from Motherwell) linked with £400,000 move to Leeds.

Hopefully work out for the lad, but we've had a couple go down to Leeds over the past few years and came to nothing (Lee Erwin and Alan Martin)

Jack Hendry being shipped out on loan to get games for rest of season.

Hes got his critics on here but he did play well for us when drafted in so let’s give him some time.

McKenna, Souttar, Bates, Porteous, Findlay, Hendry - tall promising young centre backs club

Better player than when he left. Has been playing 90 minutes every game since joining Farense and bagged 2 goals in the last match, including a tidy volley into the top corner from outside the area.

Out on loan for the reminder of this season, but he's got 18 months left on his Sporting deal, so we'll see what happens at that point.

Jack Hendry a promising young centre back :rollsmile:

Have you actually watched him play for Celtic ? The boy is so far out of his depth that your heart breaks for him. It's that embarrassing.

He is their worst player since Du Wei in 2005.
