Will Robbie Keane make his Celtic debut at Kilmarnock?
The travelling support will certainly hope so
There may well be a few yawns at Rugby Park tonight but it may have nothing to do with the action on the park.
There have definitely been a few games this season in Kilmarnock which would have sent the home fans to sleep but the tiredness is likely to be felt in the away stands.
It was a late night for Celtic fans as they waited for the unveiling of Robbie Keane…and for the press conference which was eventually not shown on Sky Sports News.
Its not even as if the watching fans had the ample charms of Georgie Thompson, Charlotte Jackson or Natalie Sawyer to keep them up…merely highlights of Aston Villa v Chelsea reserves and Roger Federer standing by some water.
Then again, the Celtic support are likely to still be buzzing from the signing of Keane and the Irish internationalist may well make his debut at Rugby Park.
If the Irishman caught up on his sleep he could be included for Celtic, as could Diomansy Kamara, so Tony Mowbray has options up front. Don’t forget Rasmussen grabbed his first goal for the club at the weekend and there is also Fortune and Samaras to consider.
There is a lot of firepower at Tony Mowbray’s disposal but he can only play so many at the same time…even allowing for the second half at McDiarmid Park recently!
Kilmarnock have been reinforcing as well and could include Scott Severin, Rob Kiernan and Chris Maguire against Celtic. The two Jimmies would love nothing more than to deflate the feeling of good will that was created at Celtic Park by Keane’s signature.
There is going to be a lot of hope and expectation placed on Celtic tonight but with so many new players, can they gel in time?
You can expect hoops fans to be rushing to the bookies to wager in favour of their team and Keane but they may find the expectation could work against their players as much as it could work for them.
Yes, as usual, WeKnowSFA has no clue about how his match will pan out!
Will Keano give the fans a night to remember?
