Of course he had his moments . . .

. . . but it has been hard to fault his recent appearances for us and I will miss him. If he wants to play more good luck to the feller.

All the best Kolo, a true gentleman off the field and someone who gave 100% on it.

No more than any other player's.

Wonder if he would sign a short term contract to cover the injuries?

Glasgow-based BBC journalist claiming Kolo is set to join Brendan Rodgers at Celtic (medical today):

Quote

Chris McLaughlin ‏@BBCchrismclaug · 47m47 minutes ago

Former Liverpool defender Kolo Toure will sign for #Celtic today subject to medical.

Good luck to him

Won't be a bad idea if Rodger's appoints him as his defence coach as well

markedasred · « **Reply #292 on:** July 23, 2016, 01:48:33 pm »

So He's the first of our players from last season who gets to play in the Champions League.

Good luck to the big man. Love him as a person- he wears his heart on his sleeve. You can see no malice in him.

People like that, deserve the good things in life and now he's embarking on another journey with yet another historic club.
When he's done, his dealership will be flying!

Defo going to get to some games around Scotland this season, be nice to see that crazy smile on the pitch again. A really good move for both Kolo and Celtic, sound judgement from the old gaffer getting him on board and the pace of the game up here will suit him. Plus a bit of CL footy makes it that bit sweeter. Good luck Uncle Kolo, we miss you!!

Dunno what's for god sake about it - he was a man mountain in that final, stood out a country mile, and I would say was consistently at or near our best defender whenever he played. Just get a bit fed up with all the "good old Kolo", "great fourth choice", "good move for him and us" stuff - doesn't recognise how good he was/is.

Don't care even he turned 35 in March - I wouldn't say Kolo slowed down at all during the two years he was with us.

That's what he was though, a good third/fourth choice. There's no way he should be starting here over Lovren/Sakho/Matip.
Happy to see him go to Celtic anyway, hope he does well, don't think it's a massive loss on the pitch though.

Just thinking that. I was a bit lukewarm about him to be honest in the beginning. But now I wish he never left. more than just a good footballer. Love players like that.

crabfootlong · « **Reply #311 on:** July 24, 2016, 01:55:25 am »

All the best. Always felt that he gave it his best. But he was simply a bit one-dimensional when it comes to defending. Which is good. He was solid without being exceptionally great. People remember his mistakes easily - I've no idea why. Other defenders (even within our team) are as prone to mistakes as he is but outside our fans, Kolo always seems to take the brunt of the ridicule. Good luck Kolo.
