Long term more important with Guidetti

415

The most important news concerning John Guidetti is no longer whether Fifa recognise his registration, it’s whether John is keen to remain in Glasgow beyond May next year.

The player is not eligible for the Europa League group stage, and it is not critically important he joins for Premiership football in the first half of the season.  He can join in January for the league run-in, and hopefully the latter part of the Europa League, but as we know, the next major event on Celtic’s horizon is next season’s Champions League qualifiers, which then out-of-contract Guidetti would be a valuable addition for.

Whatever the Fifa outcome, the player will be planning where he wants to play beyond this season and it’s unlikely Scotland will have previously featured heavily in his mind.  Monday was a bit of a shambles for the player but he got to see how Celtic operate.  Hopefully the positive sentiment will convince him this is a platform he can build his career on.

It’s just incredible that Mike Ashley had Charles Green in such a place that he was able to secure naming rights of The Stadium Formerly Referred to as Ibrox for £1.  Whether he exercises this right or not is moot.  The fact that he can, means that Newco Rangers have to accommodate him in the knowledge he is able to call in his marker at any time.

The only curious thing, is why was this particular piece of dirty washing hung out at this time?

  1. Nice quiet blog this afternoon.

     

     

    Loads of good memories too.

     

     

    Let’s have some stories from back then, this could be fun.

  2. Can’t believe some people feeling sorry for the bhuns. Go and have a serious talk with yourselves.

     

    WTC, BTC, EBTs,LMS inquiry,Farry,LNS, Dougie Dougie,The people at the SFA dancing to their tune etc etc etc and still no contriteness.

     

    When they go this time we need a stake through their heart. I want to be in the firing party. It will be the first time that a volley of shots will be fired into the coffin just to make sure and hopefully the bullets will be silver.

    Talking of the Bath Hotel.

     

     

    I had a Ford Cortina 1600E, the love of my life.

     

     

    Anyways, on my way home late one night the engine overheated. I pulled up outside the hotel. The radiator was in fact leaking so I went inside and asked a member of staff for a kettle of hot water.

     

     

    The guy was in fact the manager and after I explained my problem he came out to the car with the kettle and an egg!

     

     

    He cracked the egg into the radiator then poured the hot water in.

     

     

    It sealed the radiator for about another two years ’til it went to the knackers yard.

    If big peter announced the stadium name change had been agreed with a blue chip company at a very good price … It would be another mahoosive blow to the zombie nation

     

     

    On a personal level .. I have no issues with selling the name to someone like emirates or Nike or coca cola etc .. As long as it makes financial sense .

     

     

    Maybe the Vatican could sponsor the new deal ;)

  10. Then the city got a wee bit mad and we started going through to Embra every weekend, awe we had some great time there, smashing clubs an pubs, still pall wi a few guys from there to this very day ;)

  11. How about getting one of the more prestigious Whisky Distillers to sponsor the stadium?

     

    We could call it……”The Theatre of Drams”!!

     

     

    Ah’ll get ma coat…………

  12. My dear old Dad paid for my driving lessons and bought me the 1600E, second hand.

     

     

    I worked in the Motor Department of a large insurance company so getting the insurance was no problem.
