Re the Sean Connery question, the story is he used to get VIP treatment at Celtic Park for all the big games in the 1960s and 70s.
When Fergus McCann became owner and was told Big Sean wanted a 'freebie' for a big game, the wee man said, he can pay the same as the rest of the fans. Connery is notoriously tight fisted and declined.
David Murray heard about this and stepped in to wine and dine Connery at Ibrox where he was seen thereafter.

Why do people slate Gary Hooper? He was a loyal servant, a great player forus, yet get slated for ending up at Sheffield Wed? Wasnt the same story when Larsson went to Barcelona! Give the bhoy a break.

{Ed001's Note - does it not tell you something, the difference in the two clubs the players ended up at I mean?}

Hooper wanted to better himself which is fair enough. He let a lot of the supporters down by basically deciding that Norwich was a bigger club than Celtic. Personally, I have no feelings either way other than he had a better chance to prove himself against CL sides with Celtic so I did not see it as a better move career wise, only financially. (which a lot o supporters saw, and selling your loyalty does not sit well with them)
He has not moved up the way he thought he could using Celtic and Norwich as stepping stones so you can't blame supporters for rubbing it in after they felt slighted by him.

The lad is English, not a Celtic fan, and wanted to play in the BPL. Can't really blame him. He'll know there are aspects of playing for Celtic which will be missed, and from what Kelvin Wilson was saying in the press Hoops does miss us. He wasn't to know Norwich would go down and he'd find himself out the side. That's why it's nice this morning to read Bitton's comments. Despite our p! sh league he'd rather play for Celtic than a mid-low BPL side. He's headed for the top though. Higher than Hooper. Bitton will play for Barcelona I'm tellin yees.

I must admit I'm surprised Hooper didn't do well down there, it shows that application/dedication is as important as ability, - look at that Jamie Vardy, he is like a man possessed every time I see him. Hooper was a great finisher though, he was ice cold in front of goal, I loved those 2 goals against the other mob when he passed it into the net at ibrox off the left hand post from the angle, and the one he killed weir with the first touch and scored. His goal at Dens Park also was world class. He was a strange character, - he came across as backward. Getting him on a Bosman in Jan is tempting I must admit.

As long as the player does his best for Celtic when he pulls on the hoops, I will rarely complain when they leave - for whatever reason. However there seems to be more, for whom the grass isn't always greener when they go and very few get a chance to come back.

Jungle Jim 2 it's what he does when he plays for us is all I care about . I wouldn't really be too happy if Hooper came back to us but 25/30 goal a season would win me round .
