Guidetti and Scepovic complete Celtic line-up

999

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.

  1. The Honest Cover-up on

    Sorry mate, misread that post and just realised you were responding to someone else who said they were upset by a flag.

     

     

    As regards to Beram Kayal’s nationality, he plays for Israel. Anyone describing him as Palestinian should maybe consider Beram’s feeling on this emotive subject.

  2. Irish Troops currently serving in the UN and currently based in the Golan Heights have clashed with Syrian rebels in the last week. Could that be construed as political involvemnt ?If so, are we to be fined for waving Irish Tricolours in UEFA competitions ? The whole thing is laughable.

  3. Flags of different Countries have been waved at Football grounds all over the world for years and years. There are Irish Tri-colours flown in many EPL grounds every week. Flags are normally waved to honour players from that Country playing for the Club but not exclusively so. Supporters of a Club will often bring their Country’s flag whether or not one of their countrymen are involved. I’ve seen the Stars & Stripes of America, Japaneese, Greek, Turkish Union Jacks, Ulster Flags etc. Many countries whose flags are regularly flown are involved in conflict. UEFA’s carry on is hypocritical and wrong. This has nothing to do with Celtic or any other Club. Its just nonsense from UEFA and should be challenged. I would love the Palestinian Authorities to take a case against UEFA or some human rights group. In the meantime we should not be worrying about it,we are not in the wrong,UEFA are.

  4. UEFA have some stupid rules, the flag waving rule being one of them. Legia also found this out to their costs . The point is it is a rule and should be obeyed and if not you should expect punishment. I know feeling run high with some posters on here about the Palestinian situation. I have my own thoughts on the situation, but feel that a football site is not the place to air them. I also feel a football match is not a place to show your political view. The people doing it know (or should know) by doing it (flag waving) the club is liable to an UEFA fine. So I would ask them, please stop being stupid, your only harming our club and uefa are lapping up all that money they are getting in fines.

    Daily mail quotes I kno w but its on their site.

     

     

    John Guidetti’s much-touted loan move north of the border to Celtic fell through at around midnight as paper work to seal the deal wasn’t completed in time. As reported in the Daily Mail:

     

     

    “The 22-year-old travelled to Glasgow, but saw the deal fall down when the registration papers from both sides failed to give the SFA enough time to process the transfer.

     

     

    “Guidetti hoped to join fellow City loan signing Jason Denayer in Glasgow after just one first appearance for the English champions.”

    Hey brothers and sisters

     

     

    Haven’t had time to read back, so I dunno if it’s been flagged (no pun intended), but I want to reshare the On Fields post I put up last night on the Palestinian flag issue. This is one of the worst decisions UEFA’s made in many, many years. It is incomprehensible, and I hate to use the word but it’s also corrupt. It’s a clear political statement on the side of the Israeli state, and whatever your thoughts on what’s going on over there, it is abhorrent for UEFA to take sides in a political debate in the name of neutrality.

     

     

    Fly the flag lads.
