Celtic harvesting the mascot generation

343

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.

  1. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    A number of Celtic supporters,here and elsewhere have raised concern about the club using Park’s of Hamilton to provide our transport. It was even raised-and casually brushed aside-at The AGM.

     

     

    I think the club may now have to look seriously at alternative suppliers. Or we may get caught in the fall-out from the impending cold-shoulder over Ibrox way.

     

     

    As RALPH MALPH points out here…

  3. I should add especially for any Bhoys and Ghirls on her who are very intelligent and DON’T normally throw their hard earned dosh at horse racing, if you decide to back a Nicky Henderson trained horse at any time always remember that his NO.1 Stable Jockey is a chap called NICO DE BONVILLE….( with a name like that he’s obviously from The Calton….LOL ?)

     

    Anyways, like many trainers the trainer Nicky Henderson sometimes runs MORE than one horse in a race, and I will try and ensure that I mention that when suggesting his horses anytime

     

    ?

     

    Over many years, I have seen his main Jockey on perhaps a horse priced at 10/1, and another Jockey on the most fancied of his runners at say 4/1 ?

     

    Now, there could be many reasons for such an event as you would think that NICO would have 1st choice of Henderson’s best horses should he have MORE than one in a race…that is NOT always the case, as sometimes THE OWNERS have their say on who should ride their horses ?

     

    A few short years back around 2012, Henderson had runners in

     

    4 races at one meeting one day.

     

    In 3 of the races he had at LEAST TWO runners, so choosing which ones to bet on became even more difficult

     

    ?

     

    I ended up taking one of his horses in each of the 4 races, and each selection had a different Jockey on board.

     

    I was at home all day sober….and I didn’t see a race and I just relied on the TELETEXT for results.

     

    Yes…you’ve guessed it….Henderson not only had 4 winners…but I had somehow managed to select the right ones, ALL on a “lucky 15” bet !

     

    My quid was in…I got nearly £200 back for my £3.00 stake.

     

    I took my then Burd oot that night…without telling her exactly how much I had won that day….sometimes it’s best that way !

     

    LOL.

    Anyways, that day

    Cheers mate, I couldn’t remember the name of his horse in tomorrows Welsh National off the top of my head when I was posting.

    I’ve a feeling that it’s close to being favourite at maybe

     

    4/1 or more…I need to check later today.

  8. Hmmm, interesting but…

     

     

    1) Park not subject of potential cold shouldering;

     

     

    2) I don’t think hiring a bus is a transaction that is covered by the The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

    I lived down in Langbar Cres…between Torran Road and Baldovan Cres….or between ” The Torran Toi and The BAL-D” !

     

    I was in the POSH Bit of Easterhouse until I got married in 1977.

     

    POSH…I hear you say….Yes..well that’s what all my pals always told , cos they lived in other parts of Easterhoose.

    So similar but Santa brought mine Christmas 64!

     

     

    Think my mum got me it as a direct result of the Huns beating us in the 64 LCF …..I cried my eyes out and tore up all the rangers players from my bubble gum cards. She realised then me and Celtic were a serious item….

     

     

    …..I was just 8 years old. Dear God!!!!!!

    Obviously,I now understand why the board at Ibrox assume this doesn’t apply to them!!!

    Oh well, day 4 of man flu..

     

    I hope I’ve gotten over the worst and will be fit for work on Monday

     

     

    At least I’ve had bed rest during my holidays☘️☘️

     

     

    Loved our new signing posted by Celt/mags and you bhoys stories re full kits from Santa in early 60”s

  14. Let’s consider that we live in the real world and not the funny handshakers version.

     

     

    Now if DK is rewarded with the financial prize of a cold shouldering will the following be able to perform financial transactions with them without the need for a brown paper bag:

     

     

    Celtic FC PLC

     

    SPFL

     

    SFA

     

    All domestic clubs

     

    UEFA

     

     

    or

     

     

    will it be impossible to forward and accept financial payments to and from the Z’s? If not will that mean cup or league tix cannot be sold or putchased by Z’s and competitors fans for all their home and away games and prize (competing monies) cannot be forwarded to them.

     

     

    Sorry Jimbob.

    Cold Shouldering applies only to transactions that are subject to The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. Those transactions mostly concern movement of shares, new share issues etc.

     

     

    The most crucial impact of King being cold shouldered is that there will be no new share issue and no debt for equity swap. That then means that Sevco will be ineligible for UEFA competition due to being unable to satisfy FFP requirements…in’t that right Mr Regan???

    Since the financial meltdown of Rangers, the Supreme Court Verdict and the systematic failure of the game’s administrators in Scotland to prevent cheating and deception.

     

     

     

    Could anyone on here tell me what safeguards and checks and balances have been put in place to prevent a repetition of this shameful episode?

     

     

    As a shareholder can anyone let me know what the Chief Executive of Celtic Plc has done to;

     

     

     

    a) Ensure that checks and balances are in place to prevent a these events happening again?

     

     

     

    b) What has Mr Lawwell done to ensure that the continuity myth of Rangers is corrected?

     

     

     

    c) Ensure that where rules were broken and titles were awarded that the records are amended?

     

     

     

    Thanks

  24. Clogher Celt

     

    Good luck getting answers to your questions if you send them to PL, in the past I have had very vague answers to my questions that Celtic plc will always stand up for what is in the interests of Celtic and Scottish Football, don’t know why Celtic should be placing the interests of Scottish Football with their own as they want to move on without any reference to the years of cheating and allow those who did it to continue in the game.

     

    Just look at how long this Compliance Officer investigation is taking, in my opinion it has been kicked into the Amazonian Jungle never to be seen or heard of again, I really hope I am wrong and if this comes to be the case I will say so.

    If they are unrelated to buying/selling shares or changes of control of a company then no.

     

     

    The Takeover Panel don’t have the power to effectively freeze assets.

    That’ll be a relief over Ibrox way. The last time their assets were frozen,the pipes burst.

  29. Moonbeamswd

     

     

    Somewhat but not entirely. There is an argument that the reputational damage associated with cold shouldering will cause financial service providers to naturally shy away from King and Sevco. So not necessarily a direct impact but a very damaging side-effect.

    Hullo again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Finally getting a chance to make a post after a few days in the

    moth eaten hun tops spotted after the fireworks in the park

     

    just the usual multitude of hoops, made me very happy :-))

     

    Commiserations to all you ghirls and bhoys suffering that

     

    dreadful Aussie flu, i know exactly how you feel as i was laid

     

    low for three weeks and another month before i felt partly

     

    normal, don’t know what it is but hundreds of people young

     

    and old died here and i don,t think we’ve had a proper

     

    explanation from the health authorities regards why it was so

     

    lethal especially since most had had a flu jag.

     

    Now i’ve had the flu many times in my auld lifetime but never

     

    felt anything like that before, i’ve got my own theory how it

     

    got here, so i hope you all recover fully for plenty more years

     

    of pure Celticness.

     

    The Celtic Academy hierarchy are visiting our soccer ground

     

    tomorrow to run their eyes over the facilities and make their
