You and I have been doing this long enough to remember this place in meltdown at the prospect of Celtic signing a player from another SPL club. Domestically sourced talent was regarded as unimaginative, cheap, even. Contrast this with the utter joy when we signed Koki Mizuno, who was full-on exotic, but built for finer things then competitive football.
At 29, Aberdeen’s Irish international midfielder, Jonny Hayes is certainly unimaginative, and may be comparatively cheap, but he’s also a low-risk option for Celtic, who will know what they could get (and what they will not get) from the player.
With Patrick Roberts due to report to Manchester City on his return from holiday, Celtic are short of options for right-mid, with the first Champions League qualifier only five weeks away. The manager will view this gap in his squad as an unnecessary risk to next season’s objectives.

Dreadful defending
Celtic are prepared to listen to offers for Cristian Gamboa.
The Costa Rican joined the hoops for £1m from West Brom in August and started 16 matches as Celtic won the treble.
Brendan Rodgers has no complaints about Gamboa but wants to push Anthony Ralston into the first team squad as back up for Mikael Lustig.
Ralston is currently in France with the Scotland u-20 squad and was praised by Rodgers after starting the end of season match against St Johnstone.
The Irishman is keen to bring through homegrown players and believes that 18-year-old Ralston can quickly make a first team impact.
Gamboa barely got a look in at West Brom under Tony Pulis but has settled quickly in Glasgow where his pace and ability to get up and down the right hand side has made a favourable impression.
With Lustig as first choice right-back Celtic are prepared to let Gamboa leave for the same £1m fee that they paid for him in August.
Rodgers is looking to bring in two or three quality signings during the transfer window with the Irishman confident that there is much more to come from the current squad.
That was easier to score there from Walters
How’s Hayes and Caceres playing?

Both are playing well

Tommy Sherridan was not stitched up. He was ego crazy and unwilling to admit his masogony while destroying pals relationships with their partners.
Muppet of a man.

Cheers. Caceres could be a very good signing if we get him and can keep him fit. Uruguay produce great defenders.

Just back in from the garden, the sun shines on ML2 as well you know !
Moretti beer is now the drink of choice. HH
I was watching Junior cup final not really bothered about who won it until i heard the Glens fans singing bouncy bouncy ! A real pity Talbot never won it ! Ayrshire’s still Green & White !!!
G67
He cracked a header of the bar, has looked sure footed, doing good, Jonny has been floating about, on the left then the right, has a freeish role, putting in some decent balls and hasn’t given the ball away.

Tentallmen. Thanks for the reply
Gary67,
Any time I’ve seen Gamboa this season…..he’s left us lop-sided….he never took his man on, on the outside….and always went inside to his weaker left…..a decent substitute for Lustig in the SPHell….
So we need a Champions League quality RB….it’s too soon for Ralston ;-))

Good Evening.
Here is something about last night’s Champions League final which takes the piss out of the new ‘world’s most successful club’ playing out of Glasgow…

You are having a night out with your family. Like I did yesterday in Edinburgh.
London, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Edinburgh.
Someone attacks you with a knife or other weapon.
At my age and my physical condition I know that my family and me are dead.
Ask me now if I would like to be legally allowed to bear arms.
Guns.
So its my family or a terrorist/murderer?
Serious questions.

No Sunday night swally for me, after end of season game/communion/bank holidays I face my first Monday shift in 3 weeks……. Enjoy your Moretti beer :-)
Cross from Christie sneaks in
Just noticed that Craig Thompshun is the ref in Dublin
Philbhoy 19.07pm
Anybody attacked C or O my money would be on you against knife, gun or bomb
I try not to comment on the serious stuff, many more knowledgable than me know more, but I realise MissGFTB worries….. She is flipping 8 !!!!!
I try my best to reassure her, but the day we all worry is when the good guys lose…….

Another £1k plus for a days work, a part time job, and job you apparently don’t even have to be decent at
MoN ringing the changes, Jonny off for Aiden, big Daryl on for Walters

I would need help I can assure you.
I wish I knew the answer.

Scottish lino gets an offside decision right, flag up for a Uruguay goal
Philbhoy on 4th June 2017
I get your point
but I don’t think even then could I pull a trigger ……and I never want to know
but who knows until faced with the situation………..
very difficult to know but the feeling of helplessness would be awful

watching Ireland game and have to say Hayes didn’t impress so hoping to be proved wrong next season

So who was the first to try to score political points over the outrage in London? We will further erode your democratically elected liberties….well, u elected us….;-))

Young Ralston captained Scotland u20’s yesterday to the countries first win against Brazil at any level.
Park Road, I saw some of the post match stuff from the final today.
There was a boy in the Glens’ support with the new hoops on . The camera moved along from him and showed a guy with a tatoo of the old RFC sypmbol they had on their tops in the seventies.

I know I would do whatever is necessary to preserve the life of my beautiful daughter and wonderful wife.
I have been through some tough times with health and other issues.
My wonderful, beautiful, selfless wife without whom I might not be here today deserves to be protected in whatever way possible.
The good should live………….no doubt in my mind.
I hope you and your lovely wee girl are good!
Always remember you in my prayers.
Dena,
A young bhoy or ghirl walking through Pollokshields….would they be wise to arm themselves?….aye….but it doesn’t deal with the problem…..

If someone tries to murder them……………..it might.
I hope none or ours is ever in that situation.
Dena , can I ask a bit of advice from you or any other supporter from Ireland who tavels to our games by bus and ferry.
My son is planning on going with a local CSC to our pre season friendly in Dublin next month.
My wife is really worried about him going particularly as he will be going through the North of Ireland during the run up to the reason for their hate fest.
When the buses come off the ferry at either Larne or Belfast , are they directed away from the port as quick as possible?
Are the supporters on the buses discouraged from showing any colours or flags until they get across the border for those travelling there?
