Anchoring to a distant geographical base is not intuitively how you would expect a football club to recruit but Celtic are clearly working their contacts in Israel these days. Beram Kayal has worked out well in the two and a half years since joining from Maccabi Haifa, as has Nigeria international, Efe Ambrose, who joined from Israeli club Ashdod in the summer.
Neil Lennon recently mentioned he needed cover for left back (despite right-footed Adam Matthews performing heroics there against Barcelona), so it is no surprise that Israel international Rami Gershon is in town today. Gershon has played less than a dozen games for Standard Liege since leaving Israel three years ago, although he was a regular pick for loan club Kortrijk. Should he sign he will be a low-risk addition to the squad but he has almost certainly received commendation from the same sources who recommended Kayal and Ambrose.
Best of luck to Rabiu Ibrahim, who left for Kilmarnock after promising much but delivering little as a prodigy at Sporting and PSV Eindhoven. He was the low-risk addition of last January. You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs……

You are possibly correct. He plays for Australia though. I just know the hoops employers have to go through to employ from non EU countries in positions that can be filled by EU citizens.
Anyway I hope being a huge Celtic fan will keep his head clear.

“…great jukebox with the best pub sandwiches ever.”
How does that work then? ;-)

Agree with so much here today re Sevco.. They re never off the tv. The MSM are in overdrive. The herald has been a total disgrace.
They NEVER criticised Minty. As of late as said above they’re in overdrive.
Hugh Mac Donald is a Celtic man but we all know a la Keevins , they get to you and turn you!
Michael Grants end of year piece was shocking.. Never mentioned half of the Sevco issue.
Richard Wilson may as well have his picture in a Sevco top,his words ( shocking obituary aside today, truly bitter writing)have to be read to be believed.. He is a PR for Sevco , pure and simple and a wee glance at his twitter chums tells you all you need to know..
That all theses journos are given free reign to promote Sevco , whilst simultaneously undermining Celtic shows we must keep e mailing them and let them know we’re watching….
I ll never forget the articles and PICTURES post Lenny attack at Tynecastle.. Making Lenny look like the aggressor.. No don’t buy the herald.. But it scary that it represents many in our country..
Off to e mail them…
the journos tend to have their e address as their name,usually with a . between forename/surname and then @heraldandtimes.co.uk..

Regards the need for positivity in SEVCO reporting, I glanced at the back page of the record whilst in some M6 services yesterday.
Headline was something like ‘$1.2m McGowan heading to sevconia’ – interesting points were:
– Use of dollars to make it sound more
– The value quoted was what he will earn NOT a transfer fee
– He is actually going to China
When has a player’s wages ever been
quoted as their valuation? Why must the cloyingly talk up and embellish this piece of non news?
S
I simply cannot believe that the Herald allowed such a thinly veiled character assassination to be published under the guise of an obituary.
Any of you Bhoys feel that you may like to lose weight?
Why not join the Fat Bhoys Slim?
You could raise some money for charities and have the support and abuse from Other fatties.

Eastercraigs play a better standard of football than you will find in the Scottish fourth-tier.
IMO anyone writing to the rag that is now the herald is wasting some of life’s valuable time. Simply not worth it. A total disgrace of an obituary in what was once a decent newspaper.
Looking forward to West Ham v Man Utd later on this afternoon
Feel it could be a cracker

Told you,its some jukebox ;)
FA Cup Brighton v Newcastle ITV London Sky .973-warning Duffield is on-parentcare difficult this time of year i would have thought

Hoping for a good game of football.

Its the Herald editorial team who need to be accountable not just for the obituary making it into print but also the overall policy and journalist recruitment and standard. As ever the solution is don’t buy it

…and they’re all tarred with the same brush…..BUT we shall not be moved ….!!!!!!
The old saying about protesting too much shines through on Hugh Adam’s obituary,if you could call it that.
The man that made them money who told the truth about the man that lost it.
Im sure there are even huns who can see it.
Completely gobsmacked by that disgusting obituary in the Herald from a clearly bitter Orc and Murray sycophant. The writer fully deserving of the term “odious creep”.
Adam told the truth and they will never forgive him for it, but if they had listened to him back in 2002 then their club would still be alive. Instead of the rotten, stinking carcass it is now.
I hope that the family seek some recourse from the rag in question.

“Under Sir David Murray- who was knighted in 2007…..” For the life of me I am trying to understand the relevance of this fact to Hugh Adam’s life- other than to make Murray look the good guy of course.

Can’t argue with ANY of that…….. they, and the LL, have no shame at all …..
The magic of the FA Cup?
Lets see how many games over the next 3 days are sell outs
The games at Mansfield, Cheltenham, West Ham + Southampton are the only ones i believe will be sold out
This rewrite of history from that obituary got me.
“but it was the collapse of the banking world, something wholly outwith Sir David Murray’s control, and the merger firstly between the Bank of Scotland and the Halifax Building Society and later between HBOS and Lloyds Banking Group that created the real problems for Sir David and Rangers.”
This is bollox. The collapse was something that Murray and his banking cohorts were THE CAUSE OF. Lending money to folk who could not pay it back and folk who could not pay it back taking it with no thought to risks.
I could not count the number of “cheques” from credit card companies I shredded that arrived unsolicited during that period of banking madness through my letterbox.
In the summer of 2008 Murray spent more than enough on players to cover the potential tax bill from the EBT case. He had a choice then and he behaved as he always had done – he took a punt on Ranger’s future and then punted that future to any mug wanting to pay for his poor judgement.
He did not have to borrow more, he could have shredded the cheques and seen Rangers live to benefit from that decision (as I have) but he acted foolishly and BDO will find this although whether it will be reported or not is another matter.
To use a wise man’s death to defend the act of a fool is a depth I thought even they would not plumb.
Rangers historian Robert McElroy. Is that not a contradiction in terms?
Timland at Gallowgate have a half price sale now on. They have just over 100 copies of the CQN Annual left and these are now on sale at £4.99. If you didn’t get a copy of the Annual at Christmas, now is your chance!
McCoist is under the impression that he is a big team manager and acts accordingly with his questioning of why sevco dont get a winter break and his speaking of transfer targets etc plus gets great press which no doubts fuels his ego.
Unfortunately for him we know these pathetic attempts at impersonating Alan Pardew just make him look silly & deluded when the truth is he manager of a 4th tier Scottish division side basically a pub league in all honesty which I am findinding totally hillarious to watch

In my post I mentioned Peter Manuel,for the younger ones on here,Peter Manuel was a serial killer in the late 1950s who was described as evil,and went to the gallows in Barlinnie prison in 1958
end of history lesson
All Rangers have is historians as they are history.
Auldheid…I like to think of this type of article as being yet more rope for them to hang themselves with. There will be more than a few herald readers today whose own thoughts will mirror your own, and hopefully never provide them income again.
