    Loved the guy and still wear his name on the back of my Celtic top with pride, but not too sure about this.

    He has came back as nothing more than back up to KT and he is happy with that.

    What are people expecting for our back up left back ? Any other left back we approached likely would have knocked us back knowing they will barely play. Emilio knows the club and was a big influence for Tierney in his early days. It's been a no brainer to bring him back imo.

    Exactly this. Plus we got a million or so last year for him and have brought him back presumably on a lot less money.

    It's not an absolute disaster of a signing but it's nothing to be heralded either. Some folk celebrating it need to take a step back.

    It's pretty clear we weren't actively searching for a LB. The guys move to Saudi Arabia didn't work out, his family hated it as he's spoken publicly about that. His agent contacted the club asking to take him back. It's a nothing signing. No ambition. No foresight. 32 years old at the end of the day, will only have regressed playing in SA for a year.

    Theoretically he'll stand in for a handful of domestic games between now and the end of the season. Then his contract expires and we're back to square * one again.

    Any left back we sign would play a few games a season. Who gives a * about a left back? Tierneys here for the
    10. It's great to have cover of a decent standard that costs * all. Its CBs and a RB we need now.

    The paper who shall not be named says KT has a strain and Emilio will deputise.

    I won’t believe a word, true or not, until the teamlines are out.

    We've cover in Hayes, Miller and arguably McGregor if you want to go down that road.

    Otherwise you could argue that KT can play LB, LCB or left of 5 in a midfield. Giving you much more opportunity to blood a young left back prospect who'd be delighted to get a chance for 8/10 first team games a season.

    CB and RB should have been a priority. But Izzy's agent rings up with a 'come and get me' plea and we jump at it. Uninspiring to say the least

    Always liked Izzy but today shows how uninspired a signing this was.
    We now have a guy playing who we was surplus to requirements a year ago and has been playing in Saudi Arabia until a week ago.
    Hardly shows progress.
