Ivorian link at work again, this time in Athens

774

With three deals done, the pace of transfer activity at Celtic appears to be approaching relentless.  The Ivorian link will have been at work again, as news that we are interested in Olympiakos full back, Omar Elabdellaoui, testifies.  Celtic coach, Kolo Toure’s brother Yaya, spent half a season at the Greek club before leaving last month.

Signing players is always a risk, so getting a first-hand insight into how a player performs from someone who has worked with him daily for the last six months is a huge advantage.  Bear in mind, Elabdellaoui is just one of the right backs Celtic are considering.  This one could run a while.

Reports from the US that we have agreed a deal to sign 22-year-old left back Andrew Gutman are amusing, mostly as he was being trailed as a signing elsewhere in the city.  Great to see that as well as using our Ivorian links, we have plenty of connections at Scotland’s smaller clubs.  If he arrives, hopefully Callum McGregor will not see more action in that position.

    Hello folks,

     

     

    The staff at the Princess Royal Maternity in Glasgow are raising funds for a Bereavement room.

     

    They are paying for the cost of the skydive out of their own pockets meaning that all donations will be used for this room. If anyone would like to donate – every penny counts – no donation is too small or too large – please visit the link below.

    Here is the appeal in the words of one of the staff …..

     

     

    We are a multi disciplinary team made up of 28 members of staff from the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow. As you would expect, working in a maternity hospital affords us a front row seat at life’s highest of highs on a regular basis. However, sadly that means that the lows can be heartbreakingly low. Bereavement is a special and difficult part of our job made easier by charities like SiMBA who provide memory boxes to hospitals around the UK. It is because of them that we can help families make memories such as photos and hand/footprints with their baby that they cherish for a lifetime. We know that the room in which they spend time with their baby making these memories and saying goodbye in is incredibly important and needs to be fit for it’s purpose. SiMBA are planning to redesign and refurbish one of our bereavement rooms in our Labour Ward and it’s an expensive task. Naturally staff and patients are rallying around to fundraise by various means for such a worthy cause.

     

    28 of us (made up midwives, HCSW’s and obstetricians) are planning to raise as much money as we can by facing our fears and skydiving from 10,000 feet in St Andrews in February! The power of teamwork is invaluable and we often see this shine through when we are grieving for the bereaved families we care for. We are proud to bring staff from multiple departments & specialities together as one team to achieve this goal and we very much hope that you will consider clicking that donate button! Thank you for all the support!
