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.

Turkeybhoy – come home.
BMCUW – bide a while where you are!

As it gets closer to voting day it looks as if it will get more and more personal with the cheap insults and jibes flying about.
To me it’s not about Nationalism or Socialism, it’s about self-determination and accountability.
….PFayr supports WeeOscar,
You are not”Merely pointing out”anything.You were trying to be snide.And failed.
I live here and in Scotland.Is that difficult to comprehend?.
JAMESGANG
Haha,liked that one!

Kitalba..
Enjoyed reading your Independence Post..
Bit surprised by most of it as l thought you would be a Defo Yes..But tbh been surprised by lots of Peoples choices..Family..Friends and Posters on here..
Was very surprised by this bit..
I remember this blog for over ten years, in that ten years I can ever only remember myself, Pablo, Kano and Estadio ever posting as to how proud we were to be Scottish. As a matter of fact, I can often remember being ridiculed for stating how proud I was to be Scottish. Now half the blog is prouder than me. Where were all these bravehearts for the past ten years?
Do you mean Supporting Scotland Football team as this has been discussed many times..BIG JOE for one being Very Very Pro-Scotland and quite a few more..Think the Numerous Poppy debates also showed this..
How does Posters that are Discussing a Vote that could changed their lives in 3 weeks make them all of a Sudden ‘Prouder than You’..????

‘This is only tangentially referendum related. Why was the the NHA Party formed?’
###
I think it was because of concerns about what was happening to the NHS in England.
So far as I know they don’t operate in Scotland or Wales, presumably because the NHS is a devolved issue.
Tell me something, in the event of a no vote, how long do you think it will be before the NHS is abolished in Scotland?
Commiserations, Virgil – from a father of 2
TurkeyBhoy… where do you think these right wing bampots are going to go in an independant Scotland? It could just turn out that they will have more of a say in a 5m populus…Nationalisim is nationalisim… the fundamentals are wrong. In this day and age, when we have all the threats from the middle east instability, ecconomic instablility, uncertainty in the EU zone etc, we should be consolodating, not speculating / expanding…

Sound like a broken record but HOW can Tom Cleverley’s move and others be allowed HOURS after the window but our move is being blocked at the minute. Can’t allow some and not others.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,
I have a vote.Never been off the Electoral Register.
Embramike
Ahhh. So that’s the squad he was joining.
I was wondering why this place was so full of tears snotters and urine on Sunday morning.
Norwich are chucking money away! Loaned Louis Thompson at 23:19, then bought him back for an undisclosed fee within 60 seconds! Delia must have been on the sauce again.
jinkynewton,
If you think so,great.

Good luck to young Bahrudin Atajić hope you get a good club.
Possibly an example of a young player staying too long.McGregor and Celtic reaping the rewards of leaving a comfort zone,playing games and improving himself.Good luck to him and Lewis Toshney.
I’m ( foolishly) quite excited by the prospect of Paul67’s ‘transfer window ‘ round up article today….
I hope it is better than the post Maribor effort.
When Paul is good he’s really good.. When he’s bad …
Come on Paul give us it straight off the bat – an objective critical analysis of the transfer window.
Make it a good one !
Tb.. thanks…
Truth is I think my heart would say YES… my heid says no… I am worried with the way forward for Scotland regardless… and I am worried for the impact on my kids… either way I think we are Fecked now, and its just a matter of by whom?
Len Brennan
Cheers for the info. Maybe there is something we don’t know about or I don’t understand the process but if all those deals can go through then ours should.

Virgil v Dijk joins Dutch squad after he became yesterday father of a daughter
Mike…you need to get your ‘snout out’ of the Dutch versions of Hello and crack on with this Guidetti bhoy’s transfer!
You ‘done good’ with Scepovic. I do owe you a pint. Get Guidetti in too and it leaps up to 5!
;-)
HH jamesgang
Any news on Guidetti?
Seriously I need to get some work done today…
Jinkynewton
Jeezo! That was a bit grim mate!
HH jamesgang
Can I ask a Celtic related question, here goes. If (and its a big IF) this balls up of a transfer is confirmed today, tomorrow and so on. Will Celtic be able to play him in the EL matches?
Summa of Sammi….
No I don’t mean supporting the Scottish Football Team.
Regards the upcoming vote, it might change my life too.
Prouder than You’..????
Their new-found national language and rhetoric Summa, I wasn’t actually saying it physically morphed them into a Rob Roy or a Robbie Burns or a rabid haggis and I think you know that too.
jinkynewton
Who would you rather take your chances with if that is how you feel?
Maybe that is how to come to a conclusion?
A 7-foot-wide house in North London is to go on auction with a guide price of £235,000 10:29 3-Sep-14
The great divide,in a nutshell.
Cultsbhoy,
If Paul does write such an article I think his ‘scepovic was our number one target’ line will reappear.
This line came after he had apparently done a u-turn.
So credit is due somewhere for not spitting the dummy or rubbishing the scepovic story.
TURKEYBHOY
Fair play,mate. I thought you had to be domiciled,obviously not.
Hope you don’t miss yer plane home,haha!
So more than 24 hours since the news of the Guidetti cock-up broke and still nothing released from Celtic to inform us of what is happening.
In the words of the KoK, “shoooooock”

It’s obviously a piece from one side – but it is intended to highlight all the mis-truths that are being pushed by Westminster.
If there’s any assertion that you wish to question please go ahead.
There has been a lot of lies told by the powers that be in London, lies and myths that are easily dispelled.

JamesGang and SP :
Maybe a bit grim, but I am completely at conclusion, balancing risk etc, I am firmly in the stick together. Even although I have no affiliation to Landan innit or GB, far from it. The risk vrs reward doesn’t stack up for me. I would have voted Devomax if the clowns had let us. The SNP (FatEck apart) never impress me in debates etc, the are all bluster and shouting. I have a big concern about the UKIP and Tory UK out of EU, but I would also have a massive concern about an independent Scotland, sharing sterling (and in effect intertwined fiscal policy with the remaining UK) as stand alone in EU. So rock and hard place going forward.
