Celtic’s £500k signing on Inverness attacking midfield player, Ryan Christie (20) is unlike any I have known. The player will remain on loan at Inverness for the rest of the season, a nod to the fact that the Highlanders have been good for his development and first team opportunities would be more limited at Celtic.
He’s a talented player who fits the criteria and we have the money available to bring him in. There’s something of a crop around the same age being acquired. More on this at a later date.
Welcome to Celtic, Ryan.

‘Show us the deeds…’
I feel we are getting closer to finding out.
are they dragging it out so that when we sign the Croat we will be so relieved we’ll forget about not getting a striker.
JOE FILIPPIS HAIRCUT
As of 18:47 on transfer deadline day are you happy with our squad?
Boyota & Janko may well become our next two most valuable assets I like them both but at this moment in time, we are far weaker as a squad than when the window opened.
Hoping for three more before midnight.

The latest I have heard is there is a cheerier mood in the camp but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will end in a cheerier mood.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Barlinnie signing news: two in with another possible tomorrow. Nobody out.

Now that IS funny!
Are the hunterlopers enjoying the transfer deadline?
:-)
BBC TV transfer deadline news in the same breath as VVD £11.5million move………..’Rangers send midfield first team regular Andy Murdoch to Cowdenbeath’
we are now a feeder club for southampton fc
van dijk, wanyama, boruc
we have really fallen down the food chain as a club
A very Happy Anniversary to Paul67 and the gracious Mrs. Paul67.
Paulthetim slowing up as he has only posted a picture of him and Ryan Christie on Twitter 20minutes ago

Please get rid of the advertorial.
Wasting a good blog.
And please don’t take revenue generation advice from PL again.
Martin Keown:-
“Southampton need a period where some of their players stay for about five years and make that their club. At the moment they’ve been like a feeder club, with people moving on after a year. How many times do their fans have to see top players leave their club?”
I think Celtic and Dundee Utd fans can probably relate to this.
Thanks Lennybhoy. That was funny.

No doubt we’ve wasted fortunes but as we sit here at this moment we have money to spend. The next few hours will either give us a fighting chance for the Europa League or ensure we struggle big time.
Also the planning was supposed to have started the day after the Malmo defeat for next seasons qualifiers. So far we’ve sold Virgil & signed Christe not exactly earth shattering stuff.
On a separate issue, just listening to Shortbread assassinate Virgil’s ability & express doubts over Ryan Christie. Embarrassing stuff and no sign of them discussing White & Green’s arrests.
Shouldn’t be surprised but this is our national broadcaster.
Deluded Rangers fans saying that we’re getting weaker and weaker with sale of VVD as if any club in Scotland could say no
A quick diversion from transfer window.
Christmas twenty makes his debut on English course tomorrow. 4.40 Southwell. It’s 10/1 on PO. It shouldn’t be, it’s showing well at home. Each way should see a return.
Ex point to pointer so not completely lacking in experience. 10/1 won’t last.
Sorry…let ya back to the footy.

PP…..not PO!!

Yer a bad mahn..
problems with the new blog site:
disabling javascript sorted the problem on my android whereby moving from page to page or refreshing a page took ages, but i need to re-enable it to go to other sites. pain in the erse
but the scrolling it still rubbish on internet explorer on my work pc
neither of these problems existed on the old site, which was also easier to work out where you were and what story you should be reading
so its a 5 out of 10 from me
bring back stone tablets
Id be surprised if VVD performs to the same level as Wanyama…

Are the Celtic fans that are saying the same not deluded?
See all this stuff about Celtic not producing players at Lennonxtown – it’s total guff.
In our first team at present are Forrest and Mulgrew – both products of our youth team
Fisher, OConnell an Tierney have been there or thereabouts. Two are out on loan so they can play to come back in next year. Personally I’d have kept Fisher there. Never let us down and has great heart and that Lustig is a sicknote but that’s what the manager has done.
Henderson, McGeoch, Chalmers, Irvine, McGowan, Fraser and Scott Fox – all play in the top league when other sides have taken the players either on loan or full time.
Go back a generation and you have Liam Miller, McGeady, Maloney, McManus, Marshall and Beattie.
All of the last few names came into the first team and made an impact at home and abroad. Some of the above are having or have had decent careers since leaving Celtic – others less so but that’s their own fault – think Tony Watt.
Where do they get this stuff?
They clearly don’t remember or think before they open their mouths.
ELLBHOY. A good question fella we have only lost one player who could weaken our first team in my opinion now while I liked big Virgil I think we did alright out of the deal.As long as we get a half decent replacement such as the young Croat however,only time will tell and the window hasnt closed yet. H.H.
Nathan Dyer has gone to Leicester on loan, giving them another striker.
Does this make Kramaric surplus to requirements and available on loan? Lets hope so.
‘deluded’ or ‘delusional’ have become amongst the favourite words on this site in the last year or so
seems to be a way of disagreeing with someones opinion, but also wanting to throw in a condescending, almost insulting barb at fellow posters
just saying like…
O G Rafferty
Yes, I thought that was interesting. Hmmmmm…….
Bournsouprecipe possibly but they would do same inn likely event they had a player of that ilk
SDB @ 7.03
.!?!? — what was that all about?
A crossword clue from the Herald?
Trying to think how badly the next 5 hours could work out for the club?
Glass looking very half empty at the moment.
However interested to see how IF gets on out east?
Half expected AMcG to show up at Easter Road for both the game time and the laugh’s n giggles of making the TFOD II sweat their way through another set of play offs.
Could we not loan them another couple of players?
Foghorn
Are you saying that delusional is the new “hunnish”? ;)
Settle an argument folks- is Christie a midfielder or striker???
So there you go, we got fifteen million euros for this ghuy and we paid four million euros for this ghuy and we sent a young ghuy out on loan but hey the team he is going to will pay his wages, and at the end of it all we, ‘The Celtic’, will be quids in! Money, money, money………..
Brilliant, loving all this talk about how well we do in the transfer market, superb!
Economics; the new debating topic on the up to the minute CSC charabancs……….. With a lavvy for long journeys, brilliant!
Now, to the other stuff about fitba’ players playing in positions that help them develop into being long term Celtic stalwarts, eh! You know, maybe being here for two years or more…………..
Names on shirts and posters on bedroom walls, that will be changed before the emulsion has faded…….
No more Heroes eh!
Naw, we are a turnaround business, that’s what we do……..
Where have you been for the last dozen years TBM??? Wake up!
C’mon building a side; that’s old hat…… It’s a business doncha know………..
Celtic, Celtic, Celtic, PLC that’s the corporate entity for me……..
They come from RBS,
The banks and pension institutions in the fighting County Cork,
Desmond’s counting houses and betting firms and old folk’s homes in Donegal,
And even from Wall Street in New York’
From the food-banks in Glasgow, the ‘supporters’ make their way,
With parcels and other stuff to distribute so the poor and hungry see out the day………
Aye, it’s Celtic, Celtic, Celtic PLC……………..
TBM
My info is that we are still working on a couple of loan striker options but at the moment they’re not looking overly promising.
The Jozo situation is the same as I posted earlier today
HH

well put, its the same style of insult – an insult for insults sake
CORKCELT @ 6:38 PM,
“… I’m sure you have a point but you lost me half way through the post.”
You are quite correct, it is pretty incoherent! Knew what I was trying to say, but hadn’t collected my thoughts.
And – ELLBOY @ 6:58 PM
Firstly let me say by moving on those players that don’t have a future at Celtic and loaning out those who potentially do is generally a good thing. This is small beer in the p.s.d. World. Yet is hard work and was done well IMO.
Now to try and clarify, the players we have moved on; for a free, for a small fee, for a couple of Million and for Megabucks, during this transfer window, cost us, off the top of my head, around £15M.
We have, in main part due to VvD and some part, due to Adam Matthews, with the bit other bit part players, recouped about £15M.
Yet, we haven’t, so far, strengthened the team where we needed to. And the first team regulars that have gone haven’t been replaced by the same quality.
Know Janko could well be a fitting or better replacement than Matthews, time will tell, but we can’t assume that.
Having so far, having only spent 2.5M means we are much weaker, and while that squad no doubt needed culling. A quality striker, a quality CH, a playmaker were desperately needed.
Have we managed to fill those roles?
That’s the point I wanted to make, hope that makes a bit more sense…
As far as the National Broadcaster is concerned, it’s quite embarrassing. VvD in my opinion, while not being the finished article is the real deal, he’s a very good player, Keoman will make him a great player. Likewise Christie, if he was going to Govan he’d be the next Messi, he’s a good prospect, it’s great he’s allowed to develop under Hughes where he’s undoubtedly comfortable and at 600K is a great investment.
I like a lot of what we’re doing, but so far this window is a failure… 3 an’a’bit hours to see…
Not holding my breath…
Hail Hail
Does anyone think EPL chairmen who started working around 8am will be hanging around for another few hours just in case Celtic want to loan one of their reserve strikers?
