    Big risk, they'd rile him and the inevitable red card would appear, i'm confident of winning this game, but not with 10 men.

    There's no place in the team for him.

    What a waste of a signing again.

    It sickens me I contribute to guys like this wages. We all work like * and spend a lot of our money on Celtic and for what? For Celtic to just waste it on duds there's so many players at celtic just now draining wages from the club. Guys who can't kick there own * living in mansions and driving the best of cars for absolute * all. Getting to the stage I don't want to give the club another penny as they just * waste it on players like this and Cole and borigter etc.

    He'd also rile them though which is the type of forward play that wins derby matches of this ilk.

    I also think Griff could be doing with a hand up there just now, especially if we're going to play with 2 proper wide men.

    Doesn't have to be from the start but I reckon he will be an important player next weekend. Strong, good in the air and has experience of huge derby matches.

    If there's a way of playing him over someone like GMS, who is a shrinking violet, then I'd go for it.

    There is at least 3 players who aren't getting a game that would be in the team before him. I don't care that they aren't strikers but at least they can pass a ball and can threaten a goal.

    He is * mince and should nowhere near the huns game, never mind the fact that it's pace that worries this hun team, not strength and * control of the football.

    How can people say he will be important for us?? Have they seen home in the flesh? He is murder another waste of money in wages who contributes absolutely nothing.

    You can have your opinion on him but a striker that has played for Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, Olympiakos, Feyenoord and Turkey either isn't mince or has the greatest Agent in football history.

    It's impossible to critique the guy based on what we've seen in a Celtic strip, he is much better than his 20 minute cameos.

    If we're struggling to break the Huns down because we're up against 2 banks of 4, likely, I'll be shouting for CKR to come on. Not an Armstrong or Forrest or GMS.

    A striker who hasn't even scored 40 goals over a 12 year career doesnt exactly have me screaming for him to play for us.

    But i can only go on what he's done for us, which is also very little. He isn't what we're looking for. And like Sean Daleer said I'd have at least 3 players who aren't getting a game, playing ahead of him

    I couldn't give a monkeys fart what teams he has played for.

    He is * for Celtic and that's all I care about.

    We buy Messi, he plays * in his one start and you write him off.

    Isn't going to happen is it? Let's not be stupid, of course his previous record matters.

    He might prove not good enough for what we require eventually but he certainly isn't a * footballer. He's already shown enough to prove he's an infinitely better option than the likes of Ciftci.

    Ciftci was pish, but so far, Kazim-Richards hasn't shown anything to suggest he is any better. Early days, and I wouldn't be writing him off just yet, but he has been poor in his outings thus far.

    Stop defending him. He's a big * useless spunkbag.

    Waste of a jersey again last night and is an accident waiting to happen. There was no need for him to push the ball forcefully into Bain's stomach and it's just as well the ref never seen it. He also dived trying to win a penalty (that was never a penalty in a month of Sunday's) when he was in a great position to at the very worst win a corner. At least the vast majority that were there last night saw him for what he is yet another * impostor. How much are we wasting on Cole and this clown every week?? * I shudder to think who sanctions these transfers.

    Do you mean in his entire career or in his time at Celtic?

    If you're talking about his time at Celtic then I don't think he's shown anything at all to suggest he's better than Ciftci. Both have been useless for Celtic up to this point.

    I think Kazim Richards has shown a lot more than what Cifti did to be honest. I actually think Richards is getting a hard time of it in here. He is not a goalscorer, we all knew that when we signed him, and he is never going to be prolific for us. However when he has played he has shown glimpses of being able to hold the ball up in and around the box and retain possession for us and can be a bit of a nuisance. Cifti showed nothing like that, he was miles off the pace when he did play for us.

    I don't think CKR will be a massive success for us and I would like for us to aim for better in the near future, but he is doing a job, especially considering he cost * all, and he is an infinitely better option than Cifti or Cole.

    Thing is though he will always be judged on goals and in all honesty we need a goalscorer because we can't just rely on Griffiths.

    He doesn't look comfortable as a striker to me but no longer has the pace to play wide.
