Celtic await ratification of Guidetti’s transfer by the SFA. The player travelled to Glasgow yesterday afternoon and quickly concluded a deal with Celtic, but it took until late in the evening before paperwork arrived from Manchester.
Aware of the delay, Celtic applied to the SFA for an extension. The SFA authorised the extension and subsequently received all relevant paperwork, Celtic believed they were over the line, but I understand we are in new territory with respect to extensions, so the SFA have asked Fifa for guidance.
Paperwork was submitted considerably before Manchester United completed the 2am signing of Radamel Falcao, so there is reason for hope, but it’s not clear in Glasgow what discretion the FA used to register Falcao. The same may or may not be available to the SFA.
There are also time constraints, player lists for Uefa group stage competitions need to be completed by 23:00 tonight, and we can’t add the player until Fifa issue guidance to the SFA.
If Celtic wanted a more complicated transfer than Guidetti they surely found it with our Serbian striker, Stefan Scepovic. Transfers involving influences across multiple countries are often difficult……
One thing Celtic are clear about is the endurance of the player, who had to sit through difficult hours in order to make the deal happen. He kept his nerve as others tried to sell him to Getafe – who were under no Financial Fair Play restrictions.
We’ll do a wrap-up of the window tomorrow.

KevJungle – Murdo Macleod is my favorit CELTIC player ever. 08:29 on 3 September, 2014
You are definitely ratty this morning. So much so, you are not reading the posts properly.
I didn’t mention Izzy’s WC form. I pointed out that is the level he has been playing at, against some of the best players in the world.
Wallace has been playing at part-time level for two years, which means he has not developed his game in that time. In fact his game has gone backwards because he plays at lower league level.
It’s not rocket science is it?
Zaliukas will be disappointed. You really were carrying a candle for him for a long time there. I know you change your mind a lot right enough.
What’s your view on Ronny Deila this week?
blooter it!

You reckon Jim Murphy’s crime is on a par with that?
*******
He’s a member and ex-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel – so his biggest crime is backing ethnic cleansing in Palestine. There is no comparison between that and shockingly-drafted football legislation.
Morning all
Any news yet? Yes? No? A quick scan of this last page leads me to think, no. Is the absence of confirmation good or bad do you think?

If Izzy is past it so are most of the Celtic squad if that’s your argument.
The johnatron
What you may not have seen are the pictures that show this man to have a “wire” behind his left ear.
*******
It’s a different guy wearing the earpiece. I saw it all over social media and the egg thrower is definitely not that guy. Strange thst nobody has identified the guy who chucked the egg yet tho, considering his photo was everywhere.

That wont work – I hope it does but, it wont.
I’d put John Collins in charge – before it’s too late.
I’m not going to play ‘twist’ with you so – bye.
Bryson remaining in situ after the LNS stitch up tells us all we need to know about CFCs attitude to the SFA
Bryson with his lodge pal Ogilvie continue to run Scottish football ….and CFC acquiesce in it …shameful
Just had a look on the Celtic official website hoping for a update. Not a feckiing mention of the balls up on the Guidetti transfer. Typical.

‘On the Jim Murphy MP subject. Anyone see the footage of the so called Yes supporting egg-thrower? Probably. What you may not have seen are the pictures that show this man to have a “wire” behind his left ear. Strange is it not, for a member of the public to be wearing such a device? And is it also not strange that he was not followed / challenged by anyone, including Jims minder / security staff?
Why was this? Because he WAS one of Jims SECURITY STAFF. All staged for negative publicity for the YES campaign and YES supporters. Dirty tricks indeed.’
####
That’s nothing.
You know that helicopter that crashed into the Clutha?
The one they claim was an accident?
And who just happened to be there in the role (or is it roll?) of super hero?
That’s right. Jim Murphy.
It’s obvious they crashed that helicopter into the pub just so he could milk it for publicity.
Typical MI5 stuff. Or it might have been Mossad.
You can’t fool me.
Good? Bad?
Is the Guedetti saga still unresolved?
Is there a time scale?
Is it possible Celtic could put something on the website telling us exactly what’s going on and where we’re at?

No, not them all.
Izzy is not the same Izzy – after his injury. imho
He is being played in the hope of recouping some dough for him. imho
That’s wrong.
The Lennon clique should be removed.
Mulgrew
Stokes

and, try to ‘pay-off’ the players who seem to be out injured all the time.
Lustig
Matthews
Broony
Have to leave , bye.
Surely at this stage no news is good news
It’s obviously still being sorted or there would have been confirmation by now
live in hope csc

That’s poor.
Kitalba, 08:17 great post.
Lassonse7even 08:26
First line says it all really.
If you can’t take in others opinion and only see yours as correct, then you have issues, which I wish you every success in overcoming. It’s must be tough. Please read Kitalba’s post. It’s very good and heartfelt.

That’ll keep me going for a wee while. No-one go spoiling it now.
Shortbread have just stated Celtic are still pursuing it.
Ernie
Possibly
Possibly..contingent upon above
Behave!!
Somebody a bit more clued up on the Stock Market than myself,could possibly tell me,Should we not have heard a peep from Ibrox about the share issue?.I would have thought £4 million would have been snapped up.Well in any other company.Whats tickling me is not a word from the MSM.Last time they were trumpeting the great success story from the rooftops.Anybody really know.Should we have heard anything by now?.
Fat lady no sung yet?
Warming-up?…….Clearing the oul’ throatm perhaps?
Mi, mi, mi, mi, CSC
itsabouttim
I guess if you follow the conclusion that those who write content for UEFA on their website must have to get some type of authorisation for it, then there are further mentions of Guidetti linked to us.
Or it could be a Tim who works in Zurich and who knows as much as the rest of us.
I think it’s a goer and we’ll hear this am after it was resolved last night, after hours.

______________________________________________________________
Where do they get there info from ? If its from Celtic why are they not keeping us (the fans) informed.I thought thats what the website was for.
cheers Kitalba glad you are having a great time. If you served in the forces no surprise that you would vote No mate, most people I know who went through that school are of the same mind. I think there is a strong union between those who we’ve their Country together. I do think of you as a blogger who is proudly Scottish. I think you are wrong to say that very few on the blog are the same. Most just don’t get on the soap box. We won’t change each other’s minds, my fear for our grandchildren under a Tory London are as great as your under our own rule. My own Dad said the same thing when really he was worried about his pension. After his children talked to him about his grandchildren he is seriously thinking about voting YES for his grandchildren, not for himself. Our young will decide there future and so they should. Norway, Sweden , Denmark and Finland are quite capable of having those administrative functions that you talk about. Do you think Scots are not capable or do you think that our own resources, people and economy is so much less developed than other Northern European Countries of similar size. Enjoy the rest of your trip mate. See you back on the other side.
Kev you are a complete fantasist. Join the real world

There is nothing stopping them from making a comment on the progress but equally they are perfectly entitled to say nothing until the end of the published time period.

Ha made me chuckle, that’s some rebuilding programme, this isnt Football Manager where you can shift players in a blink of an eye and get loads of new ones in, if we did what you just said, without any suggestion of replacements from you, where would we be?
We need a filter option on the blog
Im thinking the deal is done and completed ie he has been registered as a Celtic player
(See the Celtic website)
All we need is for bloody Fifa to confirm it which should be a formality
Strangley Im more confident today than I was yesterday
I just found it, bye
TURKEYBHOY
Maybe Kieran Prior-remember him?-is waiting to pounce and be their new saviour.
As he promised last year,IIRC.
Or,and this is more likely,they’ve been made promises by Aldridge Prior.
*Uefa website
Or Dave King,same thing really.

“Kev you are a complete fantasist. Join the real world”
Kev’s actually a big Celtic supporter. I met him once in Blantyre.
He appeared to have had facial reconstruction to look like Hugh Keevins, but his body shape resembled Murdo MacLeod or, dare I say it, a young Gerry McNee.
I’m going to take from this that, at the moment, it is still a goer. I’m pretty certain that if it was officially dead in the water, shortbread and Co would be falling over themselves to tell us.
God loves a trier……!

It is not only Jim Murphy, who incidentally is not the leader of the No campaign, the personal attacks seems to be against any No campaigner. ( Predominately Labour ones )
Is it fear, desperation or guilt that many Yes supporters now loath the labour party they once supported.?
And this is positive campaigning ?
HH.
I think it has been the toadying to the Tories that has upset many people.For a Labor MP to tell us all how better we are together under this Tory government certainly sticks in my craw.They know what the Tories have planned for the NHS.The Tories have told us that the worst is still to come.
Would it not have been better to be a Labor candidate in a Scottish election,knowing how Scotland has historically voted,than be in opposition for probably decades.
By their stance in this debate,they are virtually condemning Scotland to Tory Government for the foreseeable future.
Then again,could just be thinking of themselves and their salary picked up these last years along with the fiddles and perks from London.Surely not !!!!!!!.
