    Celtic must have the numbers to rival an NFL roster by now.

    This really proves how brutal Scotish club football is these days. Serious scraping of the barrel signing Carlton Cole. Not that long ago Celtic & Rangers were signing top class players. I’d say Celtic secretly can’t wait for Rangers to get promoted to liven things up a bit.
