With St Mirren’s top of the table and derby clashes out of the way, Lewis Morgan attended a medical this morning ahead of his potential move to Celtic. The 21-year-old can play in left, right or central advanced midfield positions.
The player is out of contract in the summer and now free to choose his next contract, although a training compensation fee would be payable, the level of which Celtic have reportedly agreed with St Mirren. It is an indication of the times we live in, when a former Rangers mascot makes Celtic is his destination of choice.
That training compensation fee would not make him Celtic property until summer, so St Mirren are right to resist a little extra cash to part with him early, with their promotion push at a critical phase.
When Brendan Rodgers spoke after our Scottish Cup tie against St Mirren in March he suggested the Championship side were the best domestic opponents we had faced that season. Morgan clearly made an impression the manager followed up on.

Well aff oot to my highlight of the week – the local food market. Keeps the locals entertained when this rather xxl milk bottle appears on a Friday morning to purchase the local produce.
One week down two to go, roll on 20th January.

The USA has no patron saint.
JOHN51, when I Googled it I got the Blessed Virgin Mary but on closer investigation I would think that you are correct.

How about a sign saying spare any change for an ex-ginger?
Whens the first Royal civil partnership anyway?
My Da first took me to see Celtic in season 1961/62.
Soon after, ( I’m not sure if it was straight away ?) I latched on to two Celtic greats in Johnny Divers and Wullie O’Neill. As a wee Bhoy they were my favouriote players.
Many years later, I got to know Wullie quite well thru Bairds Bar. Now there was a man who would have walked over broken glass to play for Celtic.
Wullie was always very happy that at least one kid ( me), had him as a favourite player back in the day.
He would often tell me, ” Jimmy Bhoy…there is NO greater feeling in the world than pulling the Hoops o’er yr heid” !
I remember well players such as Jim Kennedy, John Colrain and Big Dunky MacKay etc.
One Christmas morning after Santa had been, I was nearly greetin when I thought he had brought me the wrong football strip ?
I had asked Santa for The Celtic Strip that year, but when I woke up that Christmas morn at the side of my bed was a box…an UMBRO Box, with a picture of Denis Law in his Man Utd kit on the front !
My immediate thought was that Santa had messed up….I didn’t want a bliddy Man Utd strip…I wanted The Hoops….that Santa is a bad man I thought until………..
I opened the box, and lo and behold there was The Celtic full strip…The Famous Hoops…my wee heart was pumping full of joy….that Santa man aint so bad after all !
It was soon explained to me that in those days, when buying most ( if not all football strips), EVERY UMBRO Kit always had the same photo of Denis Law on the lid in his Man Utd red.
Now that particular Christmas morn there was a light covering of snow on the ground in Glasgows east end.
I was so excited and desperate to get outside in my new celtic strip, along with my first pair of football boots that Santa had also brought me.
Those boots were just like “Billys Boots”…I swear. My fav Auntie had got them out of the Gorbals Pawn Shop that she worked in. Big Brown real Leather Boots that covered your whole ankle, and they also had six wooden studs on each boot.
Those wooden studs were feckin NAILED on with three small nails into the sole. I could see the nail heads on each stud !.
Deadly weapons.
Anyways, I couldn’t get my Celtic strip on fast enough and after getting my Granda to lace up and tie my boot laces…I was off outside !
Now I lived in a wee dead end ( or Cul De Sac to you posh folk) in Glasgows Easterhouse, and everyone knew everyone as there were only 16 house in this Cul De Sac.
I was the main Bhoy for going for the neighbours messages from the local Grocers van, and I usually got a “Tanner” every time I went. The neighbours liked me..I think ?
However, my friendly neighbours must have thought that I had lost the Plot, cos when they opened their curtains that Christmas morn, they would have seen me…… “Wee Jamesy”….running about like mad in The Hoops, with these big Brown Boots on, in the light snowfall…..with NO feckin BALL !
Santa hadn’t brought me a Ball !
No matter, because in my head I was a Celtic player with an imaginary ball beating and dribbling past imaginary Ranjurs players, and hammering the Ball time after time into the Ranjurs net .
I must have scored at least TWO Hat Tricks against the Huns that morn ?
I was in my element. Just a very happy wee Bhoy.
It seems like yesterday ?
HH
Big Jimmy, magic, you sound like a young Kieran Tierney.HH
I also later found out that those “Billys Boots” had cost my Auntie ” TEN SHILLINGS…or TEN BOB” from the Gorbals Pawn Shop.
In todays money…that is 50 PENCE !
My wee best mate at the time was Ranjurs daft….I had to wait until his Mammy fed him breakfast that Christmas morn, until she lety him out to play wearing his new feckin Ranjurs Strip, with the white V-neck collar etc.
My God it was magic, cos wee Bobby had a BALL from Santa that morning….and I after I had scored my imaginary Hat Trick against the imaginary Ranjurs that morning…now I had a Ball to actually use.
I don’t think my wee Ranjurs pal got a kick of the ( HIS) Ball that morning, as I continued to dribble
around him again and again, scoring goal after goal past his desperate bids in trying to stop me…this new Celtic wonder kid….The wee Ranjurs laddie couldn’t get near me as I scored another 10 in a row !
He and I…over 50 years later STILL laugh about that Christmas morning, and ALL the next few years as we grew up tighter…he NEVER could get the Ball off me !
He was ( and still is) a good Lad…who couldn’t cope with The Hoops coming at him !
Great memories.
Thanks to my wee auld mate Ranjurs Bobby…he was to later be my best man at my 1st wedding in 1977.
HH
whilst those “Billys Boots” had came from the Gorbals Pawn Shop ( a Mr Chalmers owned the shop)…..there was only ONE place that my new Celtic Strip had came from….”HEAVEN/PARADISE” !
My God…I have a wee lump in my throat thinking back to those fantastic days of the early 1960’s and how PROUD and CHUFFED I was to wear The Hoops.
Even withoot a Ball !
HH

KE has obviously moved a lot, whilst so Young.
The Broonstigator was the only wan not being rested. I thought Broonie showed signs of fatigue against the Newco – Twice last man, first half it could have been bad.
Kouassi is the Wirey Hard Man you want.
Worried he will be moved on, as he is not getting anythin’.
I am more Worried Kouassi will ask to Move on.
I’ve always been a Worrier.
I have really Liked what I have seen in Kouassi.
Sorry Drunk.
Apologies.

Loved your childhood memories from earlier Jimmy.

For anyone remotely interested Nick Henderson only has ONE Horse running today and it’s on the Flat.
He sometimes runs horses on the flat, and this one is up against an ODDS ON Favourite, but hey the horses don’t know what price they are ?
