It looks like Celtic arrived at a good time for Evan Ferguson, while Robbie Keane seems to be having so much fun in Europe the question is how he will ever be tempted back to the league where he made his name.

The memory of Friday's FIFA draw continues to linger like the smell of a dead rat under the floorboards.
