Chris Killen For Celtic
Whens the Villa game Phelacio?
Why so nasty me old china,truth hurts does it?
In a 1-1 draw against the Chicago Fire, Killen replaced Netherlands striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink after 75 minutes and looked impressive as Celtic chased a winning goal.
The appearance was Killen�s third � all as a substitute � for the Glasgow giants after making his Celtic debut against BSC Young Boys in Switzerland on July 13 and then featuring against Peterborough United a week later.
Despite a healthy goal scoring record in Scotland, the ex-Manchester City, Oldham and Hibernian striker faces tough competition to break into the Celtic starting frontline.
As well as the lengthily-named Dutchman, there is also Kenny Miller and Meciej Zurawski � internationals for Scotland and Poland respectively � plus Australian Scott MacDonald, and Scottish young player of the year Derek Riordan to contend with.
Vannegoor of Hesselink, whose name must terrorise Scottish Premier League shirt-makers, as well as defenders, was Celtic�s top scorer last season with 13 league goals, the same tally that Killen scored for Hibs in an injury-curtailed season.
The Bhoys have two more games left in their pre-season schedule - a visit to St. James's Park on July 26 to take on English Premiership side Newcastle before finishing up at home with Italy's Parma on July 29.
Cetic's defence of their Scottish Premier League crown begins at Celtic Park on August 5 against Kilmarnock.
Meanwhile, New Zealand Under 20 captain Jack Pelter, on trial at Premier League newcomers Sunderland, was brought on by Roy Keane at halftime in their warm up match against Sc**thorpe United - a match which also featured All White David Mulligan for the Championship side. Sc**thorpe won the game 1-0.
Bench warmer this season then of to the englush third div season after that then maybe stadio Caketinnos who knows!!!!
I watched the Celtic vs Chicago Fire game on Sunday, Chris had a good 15 minutes at the end but I agree with the previous comments that he would have been much better off going to Cardiff, definitely more exposure to more managers and scouts in the UK.
Young Phalio I agree that "BOO YA" is having a great season but I think you need to watch some more MLS if you think he is the best player in the league.
Could you explain to me why he didn't make the All Star squad?
