Things looked touch and go earlier today but Celtic pulled a late double swoop to sign John Guidetti on loan from Manchester City, and Stefan Scepovic on a four year deal from Sporting Gijon. Guidetti has been a Celtic transfer rumour since his 20 goals in 23 games stint at Feyenoord as a teenager in 2011-12. Now he’s on board, I’m holding out for news of Georgi Kinkladze.
Stefan Scepovic could have played his hand better over the last 24 hours; footballers are seldom accused of over-intellectualising their plans. Late interest from La Liga looked to have dealt Celtic a body-blow, but he’s ours now, and I’m pleased we got someone who was wanted by Spanish scouts.
That’s us finished for the summer window. Welcome to Celtic, John, Stefan.

Catman – you are Peter Lawwell and I claim my £5
Hi Paddy G
I was of the opinion earlier to tell him to GTF.
To be fair though, play in La liga and live in Madrid, or move to Scotland?
A bigger concern is whether either of these strikers are of a higher quality than the batch we just shipped out. Both look like traditional number 9s, which we’ve certainly lacked in the last few years.

previous page with the explanation ;))
What a boost, and as I see it a vote of confidence in RD & JC.
Lets hope its onwards and upwards.

Unfortunately like some of our previous signings that lot will turn out to be pish…
HT
How did he get his reply in first?
:-)
The window has not yet slammed.
Is Peter burning the midnight oil?
OK just to get the Meldrews out the way…
Couldn’t this have been done weeks ago?
OK feel better now…
If Jobos lists are right about ins and outs combined a good window I’d say. Of course I’ve seen none of our three new forwards so here’s hoping…
So Paul67 confirms Guidetti :-) Thanks
Have you another post for 11.01
Hail Hail
That’s good news. I will admit I didn’t expect any signings, but hopefully these 2 will be a lot better than pukki and balde Still have no faith in ronny though
!!Bada Bing!!

Kris Commons missus has said he will sign a new deal tomorrow.
=================
Good. Now he’ll maybe get the finger out and show his class – drop him back deeper into midfield, centre, protect him and give him the ball to spray around. Playmaker.
Delighted……………and surprised.
Are they guid, well, we’ll soon see.
Well done Celtic, Ronny and Johnny it’s over to you guys.
I’m “Happy”….
Don’t have nightmares!

Celtic pulled a late double swoop…..
Paul, may I commend you on finally succumbing to such downmarket tabloid speak. I do love a good swoop. A double? Twice as much.

Hi Paddy G

Hi big pal – hope you are well.
H T
Were you at the game??
Is Guidetti in or not Paul ? theres nothing pfficial announced yet
HH
Two strikers signed? Oh my giddy aunt!
seanoc
Some interesting names in that unattached list you provided.
Titus Bramble could partner Efe in central defence.
We could sign Julius Agohowa and him and Efe could have a half time Acrobatic show.
We could sign Nicholas Anelka to replace Teemu Pukki’s sulks.
We could sign Derek Riordan to keep Leigh Griffiths out of trouble.
And we could sign the wonderfully named Hogan Ephraim as he sounds like Israeli-Irish and that covers a lot of our team bonding demographics.
CCE
JF he has already given PL some credit. Probably a first but fair play to him for it.
tim malone will tell

Don’t bet on it mate. ;)
Chuffed for RD.
KLV
I didn’t expect any business today after the news last night, but got to say I’m chuffed. No guarrantees, as ever, that the new signings will work out, but it looks like we’ve ended the window stronger. And more importantly, I think Ronny has players to play his system.
the long wait is over
True…..but their debuts were outstanding…..
Scepovic
Guidetti ?
Brown
Forrest
Mubarak
Tonev
Lustig
Changes to yesterdays line up, potentially
And pleeeeease let it be true Kris is signing a new deal tomorrow
