News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one. Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract. The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.
Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business. We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper. It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.
The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

Dundee Utd season ticket sales probably at an all time high as they take every opportunity to stand up for themselves and remind the Huns that they are – in fact – deid.

What about a wee surprise?
From the Fishal site..
CELTIC are delighted to confirm the signing of Serbian internationalist Stefan Scepovic on a four-year deal from Sporting Gijon.
The 24-year-old becomes Ronny Deila’s sixth recruit of the summer transfer window following the acquisitions of Craig Gordon, Jo Inge Berget, Aleksandar Tonev, Jason Denayer and Mubarak Wakaso.
Having started his career at OFK Beograd, the striker had stints at the likes of Club Brugge and Partizan Belgrade before enjoying a prolific spell in Spanish football.
Capped eight times by his country, the hitman opened his account for Serbia in their 5-0 victory over Macedonia last October and will bolster the club’s attacking options.
Good night so far
Possibly two strikers in
Hopefully a left back to come
All we need now is for someone to take Stokes off our hands and it will be a great night all round
B-)

No didn’t go tonight though I had hoped to until I remembered that I’d to take the Minx’s bhoy for a gym induction!!
Eh naw there’ll be no Echos :-)
I hope this doesn’t mean Giudeti ain’t coming in.
Fingers crossed that he’s signing too.
Let’s see if we can get in any others.
For those of you interested in the referendum, yougov have a poll coming out tomorrow. Excluding Undecideds, No are at 53% now, Yes at 47%. A huge surge in support for Yes – yougov had the gap at 22% a month ago and have been more No friendly than other polling organisations. Undecideds are favouring Yes by 2 to 1. Rock n roll :)
