    I went for Griffiths, and i would rather have Tom Boyd back than Kris "Kebab" Boyd anyday.

    Stevie May for me. I think he has massive potential and could develop into a genuine top class striker

    Stevie May for me.

    Only reason I'd be reluctant with Griffiths is that he seems a bit of an unprofessional, sulky * who I reckon thrived at Hibs because he was by a mile their top man that they could build a team around which he wouldn't be at Celtic. I otherwise think he'd fit into our system fairly well.

    Boyd, just no; and it's nothing to do with his history at Oldco. He's a good penalty box player but he's not exactly renowned for his work-rate and think he'd struggle to fit in to the way we play with a lot of passing and movement and in games on the defensive he'd become a passenger. Hooper was a similar type of player but outside the box he had a lot more to his game and linked well with the likes of Stokes and Commons in particular. Boyd is not exactly one for the future either.

    It's debatable, but I don't see why it's silly to say May. He's two years younger and is scoring at a higher rate than Griffiths did during his best year in Scotland. And he's scoring at a much better rate than when Griffiths was the same age.

    I picked Stevie May. I really don't see the problem with taking young countrymen on from 'lesser' teams. All teams do it, from every nation.

    We already have Watt though I suppose.

    I'm really torn between Stevie May and Leigh Griffiths.

    Both would be fantastic signings for us.

    Kris Boyd said he wouldn't come to Celtic Park unless he was in a coffin a few years back. :56:

    Griffiths definitely has an edge about him and can do things with the ball that are a bit different, so from the options available above, I would go with him.

    That said, I'm surprised that Lenny went for him with the unity we have in the dressing room, I have no doubts he will make the headlines for the wrong reasons if he comes here, he will be a moving target for huns when out and about.
