Burley urges Celtic striker rethink

Former Celtic midfielder Craig Burley called for Gordon Strachan to get rid of Georgios Samaras and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink following the Hoops‘ shock Homecoming Scottish Cup exit at St Mirren yesterday.

A week after the Parkhead side thrashed the Saints 7-0 in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Celtic Park, Billy Mehmet’s second-half penalty at St Mirren Park took the Paisley side into the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 1987.
