Where’s Joey?
That was the question that Brother Pedro asked at half-time yesterday after a ‘quiet’ performance from Sevco’s record signing.
SPFL sponsors Ladbrokes were a little more blunt about the Hampden ‘showing’ of the former Preston North End goal ace.

With their SPFL sponsorship carefully managed by Level 5 to promote the image of the Old Firm their UK social media operation seems to be under an entirely different regime.
Rather than conform to old stereotypes the young bucks in the social media department have to respond to what’s trending online.
Garner has recently been cultivating an image as a hard man with more booking than goals but yesterday Myles Beerman managed to commit more fouls that Garner managed touches of the ball.
Some fans were asking whether he had actually touched the ball as he watched Celtic enjoy 75% possession before making way for Joe Doodo.
As one caller to Radio Clyde’s phone in said last night ‘We’ve paid £2m for a song!’
