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.

Jobo
Someone posted earlier that the Twardic twins were away.
Gordon ( better than ff)
Denayer ( better than moyokoulo )
Berget ( better than balde )
Mubarek ( better than Dylan )
Scepovic ( better than watt )
Guidetti ( better than pukki )
Six improvements on last year and almost £10m more in the big fella peters back bin
What’s not to like
Peter lawell for president of an independent Scotland and toasted cheese compulsory in every school canteen
Right Lennybhoy, no more teasing, who else is likely to come in? :)
I’ve been watching Andy Murray (3 set win and looking good)
Can anyone summarise the drama, arrivals and departures?
Last I saw Scepovic had reneged and was off to Getafe.
So who came off the bench?
Who is jetting in from where to beat the slamming window and sign for the Mighty Tims as the clock strikes midnight, CET?
Or are we seeing a Willo Flood rerun?
The Serb is in, he’s got a lot to prove good luck don’t score inside 10 seconds and you’ll be a dud and Ronny’s job will be on the line again.

Sometimes you’re as tiresome as those attention-seeking wee nyaffs who used to shout durty wurds at you in the street then run away.

Scepovic signing? Is he? Lol. Already labelled ‘prick’ by many on here after his u-turn behaviour yesterday. Oh, hang on that was me…
Scepovic now enters the quiz pantheon for ‘Celts who have started on the back foot before even kicking a ball’…

To which the answer would be, “All of the above”…?
OK I’m on a theme now, Armageddon theme that is…

Were you in the Dundee end?
Has Guidetti actually signed?
From official celtic website
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.

Him and Alfie Conn.
Remember when Lubo signed. The only fanfare was the Daily Record’s ‘Half a million for a Dud Czech’.

Sorry for the to and from with Scepovic but once the Spanish FA and West Ham had been sorted the rest was just the paperwork.
Done and dusted now so pint you’re due me ??

Welcome to a real team Stefan. The one you left sounds like a donkey.
Delaney’s Dunkey
If you e-mail me at editor@cqnmagazine.com I will get tickets set aside for the CQN Night at Dumbarton Harp on 12th September.
Anyone else interested just drop me a line.
Tbj,
I’ll let you know the outcome of liar liars problem tomorrow…oh and funny enough he spoke to me for the first time since his club went into admin on Friday.
Obviously knows my brother in law is in charge of an engineering firm…:)
Have we spent the Lourdes money yet – or is it still “resting in an account”?
:-)
Twentyfirst of may .
We won that Hibs game 3 1. Michael Conroy, Dvaie Provan and the imperious Danny got our goals. I think Ralph Callchan got their goal.
Danny’s goal was mega that night, just shot past Jim McArthur, who didn’t even move.
Great news we have one possibly two strikers in. We should have done this eight weeks ago.
stroppycsc member.
Why did we not do this before the CL qualifiers?
Frustrating or what ?
Where’s Guidetti??
Ok guys
Shite season in store
But you get what you deserve

Alfie Conn was alright – at best.

SSN have announced Scepovic as a done deal 4 year deal. I know people are annoyed but you have to realise footballers are greedy and look out for number one. If he scores on his debut all will no doubt be forgotten.
He’ll grow to love the club, he’ll do well and be sold on for a profit or he’ll flop and be shipped out. Those are the 3 outcomes, in order of preference… No matter what he did today.
