Jason Denayer played his first senior football during his 2014-15 loan season at Celtic. Before that season ended, he was a full Belgian international. We tried to retain him, but parent club Manchester City wanted him to go elsewhere.
There followed a season at Galatasaray, then Sunderland (where he played central defence, full back and central mid), before going back to Galatasaray on loan last season. His last appearance for Belgium was in the quarter finals of Euro 2016, a defeat to Wales.
While City would not loan Jason in 2015 they sold us Dedryck Boyata instead. Dedryck made a 45-minute cameo appearance for Belgium as a teenager in 2010 but didn’t play for his country again until near the end of his first season at Celtic. Belgium were preparing for Euro 2016 at the time but decided against his selection.
While Jason drifted out of the national team picture as he dodged around Europe on an enormous wage from Manchester City, Dedryck is in Russia. He has earned less money than Jason since leaving Manchester City, but his achievements are far greater.
These things matter at this time of the year. Brendan Rodgers and Peter Lawwell will speak to players and agents and will relay this narrative. Come to Celtic, become a better player, win things, and gain international recognition.
Jason has two years left on his Manchester City contract, when he will be 24, but he needs to find another Celtic to put some wind beneath his wings, if he is to make it to the top.

John McGinn was in Coias on Monday evening with a few friends. Contrary to rumours that he was joining Celtic, it seems he may in fact be looking to join the CQN Breakfast Club. More details to follow ………….

You said earlier that Pedro wasn’t wasting his bullets on a moving target, with respect mi amigo, that’s bollix, he told you that he would fire them if you gave them to him, bottom line is he didn’t and prob has no intention of doing so, I would wager that he never thought that you could give him the bullets, we have heard garbage like the safety of employees is at risk if we speak out, WTF do we have a police force for ?
===%=====
Its not bollox its all about opinions and the more information you have the more accurate is that opinion likely to be. But it’s more than that.
The past is not the present and it is the here and now that applies.
Whilst it may be true there was,let’s say, a lack of enthusiasm in the begining because taking up the issue was not in what was considered then to be Celtic’s best interest, with the passage of time that balance has changed.
For example if the JPDT were to come up with an LNS fudge, Celtic will not get away with any ‘we are surprised’ routine without a full explanation they can share with shareholders being provided by SFA.
That is accountability and there never has been any in the past to change your belief based on the past one that many share for the same reason.
Res12 was not about getting a result one way or another, it was about getting a result and in doing so introduce the concept of being accountable to the SFA (and Celtic).
So getting a result in that sense is a start, getting a favourable result based on information will be a game changer in accountability terms.
We’ll see, but any unchallenged fudge, if there is a fudge, would not be in Celtic’s best interest nor the game, because it would have lost its point if rules not fairly applied.
Lots at stake here.
France and Messi for me.
CC,Mon Hoops,get this 1st signing done.
6 Ex Turkish International footballers to go on trial this week,for their alleged part in the failed coup a couple of years ago.A farce.Nothing more than a massive purge of dissidents by the Madman in charge.Hagan Suker,remember him,managed to get out before the purge.
Cue a revival of the Great Unwashed interest.He is only in his late 40s.Stevie G will get the best out of him if the Record hacks latch on to this.

Both answers pain me,btw.
Don’t be like that Bobby.As the American spokeswoman said”We share so much with Germany.The D-Day landings ,for one”.
Quite the storm here yesterday Only lasted 10 minutes, but, within 50 metres of my house alone, 1 massive 200 year old maple tree was snapped in half and crushed the car it landed on, while another two were ripped right out of the ground, including one which fell onto ny neighbour’s house. Looks like we will be without power for a while. But most importantly, and By some miracle, no one was injured.
Bobbio
I’ve found the Germans to be fine folk. Loved my time in Munich last year. Tho In truth I find most nations consist largely of v decent people.
Also I love the way the Germans play football. Technically excellent. Ball zipped around at pace. I like to see that get its proper reward.
Neymar, aye you’re right. A wee jobbie of a man.
