    Yes, terrible he didn't surrender to his employers demands and put himself first. * free thinking *, now we have him under contract we should force him to clean ever toilet in the stadium for 8 hours a day as punishment. :50:

    What a ridiculous post. John Collins owed us nothing - he gave is six good years service when the team was absolutely honking, one of the few shining lights that kept us going through the gloom. Unfortunate for us that Bosman came in before his move but that's football - we have used the system to our advantage over the years.

    But your post isn't unusual. There does seem to be a very small minority out there who take it as some sort of personal slight when a player who is near or in his prime decides to leave us for a new challenge. Petrov being the obvious case here.

    Anyway, while you can remain bitter and like a sulking wee schoolboy, the majority I am sure will welcome him back with open arms. Very happy with his appointment - understands the importance of fitness in football and will, I am hope and am sure, work well with Deila and his vision for us.

    Ridiculous of him to move after playing for us for six years. How dare he look after his family and own interests? And for a country that is on the south coast of France and tax-free? The audacity of the man.

    We should get that Larsson guy back as well to clean the bricks on the Celtic Way. He was worth £15m and left for nothing. *.

    Pleased with this appointment. Was a fantastic player and I think he will offer Deila a good amount of support and information about Scottish football.

    Think this might work well.

    Collins is apparantly an incorrigible ball-breaker, so could be Deila's enforcer.

    Delighted with this appointment. Only slight doubt is will he take the players with him. Will very much depend on whether he learned anything from his Hibs days. Hope him and Deila make a terrific combination.
