No no no no no. He's so bad it's unreal.

If we get him we'll have the slowest central defensive partnership since Caldwell and McManus at Celtic.

This would be such a bad move for us in my opinion.

The number 5 for Dundee United gave a very passable impression of Young Mr Grace when I saw them v Hibs last month.

You can't spell McManus without 'anus'.

The responses from Celtic fans to the article say it all (see below). We need pace & athleticism Blackwell, not more cart-horses!

Celtic fans responses:

Just as well he was'nt playing today,it would've been more than the 2-1 defeat they suffered,joke defence,joke management,good for a laugh though!

Has Kevin Blackwell seen this guy on a football park. He is the worst Celtic centre half ever. His kick at Driver in the CIS cup tie sums him up. A pub league player would have been embarrassed by it never mind someone earning thousands of pounds a week.

What they all said is true. All he can do is head a ball basically.

He'll fit into the Blades well with his footballing style due to the fact as soon as he gets it he hoofs it up field, no matter how much time he's got on the ball.

However one good thing he'll bring to us is he's a great leader at the back. He's pretty similar to Morgs but worse.

It feels like we are going back to the days of signing players like Steve Yates and Ashley Ward.

Shorey signs for Forest on loan but who are we looking to get? One of the worst Celtic centre backs ever to play for them while having 4 no marks on trial from a sister club thats utter bobbins.

Well as a Celtic fan myself, I wouldn't say he's one of the worst Celtic centre backs we've had. There's a few from the time I can remember being worse than him.

The first season when he broke into the 1st team he was fantastic but since then he just keeps getting worse each season. Whether that's to do with the players in other teams getting better or him being found out on where his weaknesses are, but a move could see him getting back to the form he had in his 1st full season playing as he seems to be too comfortable here. Who knows.
