"Kelvin Wilson has been impressive at the back for Celtic in the Boras Arena
If the central defender is allowed to rejoin Nottingham Forest, he will be a hard man to replace."
Seems like the BBC think he did a good job tonight. Maybe he has improved a lot in his time up North, and is, after all, worth £2.5 million.

All but confirmed by Lennon after the Celtic match. Resigned to losing him.
Again, not thrilled by the signing, I think he's average at best and we could have found better. However, if it means Collins getting nowhere near the first team... I'm content.
One other positive is that Wilson doesn't lack for pace, one thing that Hobbs is missing, it could prove to be a successful partnership.
We'll see. But I'm already drafting my "I told you so's".
COLLINS OUT!

Yeah ok Backo, I'm sure there is more money for Wilson too! but my point is that he could play for a number of teams south of the border to be closer to his daughter but he's chosen Forest. If there were any hard feelings from his previous stint then he would go elsewhere.

Glad to see this has Rams fans agitated (as with most things Forest-related).
Wilson was a class act last time round, if sometimes a bit too laid back. If he's improved since he left, he could be the missing piece to the jigsaw. Looking forward to seeing Wilson and Hobbs at the back if this is confirmed. Transfer fee not that important.

Over the odds payment for what he is probably worth but never the less Wilson is definetly a good defender and will be great with Hobbs in the centre of defence.
All we need now is an out and out striker and we should be there or there abouts for a serious promotion push.
