If ever you needed a reason to convince you to ignore the vast majority of transfer speculation which inflicts football fans from May until 30 August, the signing of Miku Fedor is a gift. Spanish football is suffering from the kind of economic wake-up call which makes it possible for aspirational Scottish clubs (I know there’s only one) to sign strikers first choice strikers. Miku came through the scouting process last season and remained on the list but the deal had to be right.
25 goals in 85 games for a struggling team in the top league in the world (Exhibit A: Atletico) suggests we might have someone who will flourish on an acre of Glasgow and will bring experience and confidence onto the field when he faced Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow. The deal has the hallmarks of Peter Lawwell’s try-before-you-buy policy. Get them in on a loan with an option to buy. If they are successful, do the deal, if not, you’re not stuck with Ulrik Laursen breezing into training asking the other players how they got on at the weekend.
Right now the most important question is, what shape of team does Neil Lennon have in mind? Miku plays through the middle and on the right. He’s fast and he’s 6’1”. Have we bought a someone to play on the right of a front three? Perhaps, but with circa 15 first-choice midfield players to accommodate the plan is surely more complex.
More on this when we have a quieter moment, I’m off to bed to forget all apache command line prompts until January. We’ll talk goalkeepers over the weekend.

If it was a PC laptop problem AND a gust of wind that blew them out the wndow type scandal, it could be ‘Windwindowswindowwindow’.

“Heart of Midlothian forward, David Templeton was named after Cooper( 77-89 huns) by his father, ex pro Henry Templeton. David Templeton’s full name is David Cooper Templeton.”
Some stupidity is just genetic.
Stupid hun.
Just about sums it up then!

Buddi.. Here is My 7 yr. olds thoughts..Yesterday..
.
Ohhhh too be a 7 yr. old again..
Just picked up My Wee Ghirl from School..@ a Fathers Day Brekkie at School in Morning..
On the Way Home she asked:
Dadda.. See GrandPa in Scotland you know how his Team went into Retirement..?
Yea.. I said..
Well Who does he Support Now..?
Cue Laughter and Giggles and……..Errrrm.. Errrm.. Errm..??? From Me..
I Spent the Next 5 Mins trying to Explain it in 7 yr. old Language..ie. there is a New Team.. Like the Old Team..But the Old team was Naughty.. And Did Naughty things.. They wear the same Strip..etc etc etc..
After this She Replied:
I Wish his Team had Retired Forever and Ever..
Why..? I asked Her..
So GrandPa would Support Celtic Like Us..
Ahhh Innocence.. If You could Bottle it..
“0”
Can’t believe Neil persuaded PL to part with all that money (£1m).
Hoopy Days

ha…Where were these Cloven–hooved Columbos when Craigy Whyte rolled into town…?
They are utterly demented.

How are you?
Keep your eyes peeled. I’ve given you a romantic walk on part in a wee darma I’m penning at the moment. Peter Lawwell appears, BT, Kev Jungle, a banjo player and a lizard. But you bring the pathos to the whole dramaticus Celticus!
Hail hail

Rubicon, I am gutted I don’t feature, although one client an two friends do! I wonder if they would let me update the graph to put myself in there.
I am RTC.
(In a sort of Spartacus way, I’m not actually RTC if you are a trolling reprobate reading this)
Or am I?
Well, no.

Last of the Big Spenders CSC
In all probability.
We’ve now had our first interviews with Efe and Miku and neither of them has mentioned their dream move to the EPL. Good start.
SFA slams shut the door on the transfer window at er 1:14

thanks for posting that. What a hoot!
I see Ruth Kelly gets a mention!?!?! Possibly the only member of Opus Dei they could think of, and a fenian surname to boot…stick her in bears, she’s probably involved.
What a larf.
Reiperman
please to meet you and Deborah also…
good to see you back…
Estadio I am well thank you! Hope you and yours are well!
And now my life is complete a walk on part! Thank you kind Sir, Although I am slightly worried with BT and Mr Lawell on the same page!
Heading off to Paradise shortly for another great afternoon!
roth
Nah,I think his pals are a mix of Leeds n Donny Rovers but he’s the odd one out even though he’s born n bred South Yorks,a mad Tim!
Anthony R. Hamilton @polishturnstile
For all who are asking, none of the new Bhoys are eligible to play today. Efe and Miku will take a bow pre-match, around 2.45. #Celtic
BlantyreKev –
there was a scurrilous rumour last night that you were another Kev that often posts on here most weekday mornings…
So does no-one have info on Jaison McGrath?
Woooh, everything connects!!!

I was contacted about said rumour by the venerable BJMac. Gutted. I thought I’d some respect on here :-)

I know both Kevs from Blantyre and I confirm they are the same bhoy…
HH off to paradise having watched a junior AB run round George square this morning!
Delighted with transfers.
If you want a laugh look at herald sport..
Second week running , Sevco pr machine. Picture of templeton and mc Gowan and it says they had talks but mc Gowan left!! So why the picture..
They’re hurting bad..
Happy days..
Mon the hoops..
Cracking leaflets for wee Oscar, well done you Oscar Bhoys in Green!
Me and Rob Fae Morecambe just won the card on the Blackpool Shammy bus, money going into the Vmhan bucket for wee Oscar. HH
It turns out that the SFA computer was running a version of ‘TransferWindows95’ which was installed by Jim Farry. This has been known to give trouble in the past, apparently.
BT
Is that you trying to fall out with the locals?
Starry Plough
Sorry to hear about your Mum.
She is in my prayers today, as are you!
I hope she get’s well very soon.
any word on who the free agent striker we’re trying to sign is?
Rieperman
Very interesting article from the ‘Irish Times’ – thanks for the link.
Being saying it for ages, ad nauseaum, that there will be a European Super League one day – a league involving Celtic.
We, as a club, are severely restricted by competing in the SPL – just compare that to the exposure, and money, which we will receive this season by participating in the CL – hopefully after Xmas- or, at least, in the EL.
Celtic are a Scottish-based club, with strong Irish roots, and always will be! If we were to compete in a pan-European league we would continue to be so!
HH!!
Right, busy wee day for ole Jobo.
Following this morning’s ParkRun I now look forward to a wedding at 1.00 (performing not participating), our game at 3.00, Mass at 6.00, Hospital visiting at 7.00, Food (any) and Rioja at 8.15.
Life’s Good!

Don’t expect Sammi, Izzy or Commons to start today. Izzy got a sore one on Wednesday and the other two were struggling to make game. Time for the youngsters

If you need an advise let me know. I have been to Moscow couple of time and speak Russian.
Midfield Maestro
I hope you don’t mind. If the plan is go to Moscow as the tourist, there is not much to see. Huge expensive city with only few interesting places. The best place is Christ the Savor Cathedral where Pussy Riots “sang” but that Cathedral is new. Arbat street not much impressed me. Kremlin dissapointed, it better looks on the postcards.
