Medical tomorrow as player agrees terms

620

I heard two bits of good news today.  First, and most importantly, season ticket sales have been fantastic.  We’re well on track to reach target.  We don’t know what next season will bring from several revenue streams, most importantly what European football will deliver, but knowing the income arriving from season tickets allows the club to make early decisions.

Specifically, a couple of hours ago we agreed terms (with player and club) for the outright purchase of a player, currently registered with an English Premier League club.  He  flies north tonight and will sign subject to a medical, booked for tomorrow.  I understand the coaching staff are delighted at the capture as he’s been our number one priority for some time.

Tip for the day: don’t ask ‘sources close to the club’ what the consequences of today’s result at Fir Park are for us, unless you want a lecture about how:
We’re on our own……
We know we’re on our own……
We’ll stand or fall on our own merits……
We don’t need money from two derby games that we could almost match from a good run in the cups……
We need to build a successful Celtic team……
We need to pull a squad together for the qualifiers……
We need five-in-a-row……
And none of this is changed whatsoever by who else is in the Premiership.  Not.  An.  Inch.

That’s me told.  I also got the feeling no one at Celtic has any appetite to be involved in the kind of scenes we witnessed at Fir Park today.  It’s not the image we have for our future.  We want a successful, family club, open to all.  As it has been since 1888.

Anyway, I’m sworn to secrecy on the identity of the player, but you’re smart, you’ll figure it out.  Well done with the season tickets, take a bow.

  1. Good morning (because that’s what it is) friends from an extremely bright and hopeful looking East Kilbride.

  2. This is the day this is the day,

     

    That the Lord has made that the Lord has made,

     

    We will rejoice we will rejoice and be glad in it and be glad in it ;)

     

     

    Hail Hail & NSNO.

    “The following season, wins over Stenhousemuir, Burntisland and Caledonian clinched a home tie against Kilmarnock, the 10,500 attendance disappointed after a 4-1 defeat. Wins over Vale of Leithen, Forfar and Stirling Albion in the 1976-77 tourney earned City a third visit to Ibrox, with Rangers this time running out 3-0 victors in front of a poor 18,000 crowd.”

     

     

    I was at that game, even borrowed a scarf from a St. Mirren supporting mate. Me and 2 of my college mates, all of us in our 1st year, somehow found ourselves in the wrong end!!! The heathen sussed us for Elgin supporters, but were “interested” in what team we “really supported”. My best Teuchter came out that day as I professed unending loyalty to only Elgin City . . . .

  7. We don’t need money from that game.

     

     

    Why them do the two tier season books for the weans.

     

     

    Team 12 is now motherwell. Is it on the so or not ?

  8. On the positives. So so happy that zombie entity won’t be on league duty at celtic park.

     

     

    And welcome to celtic boyata bhoy.

  9. Morning Champions,

     

     

    Yesterday’s CQN was one of the funniest for years, I laughed till the tears ran down my face last night when I got home from Basel:))

     

     

    Take a bow CQN, you are among the funniest Tims on the planet…

     

     

    Submarine Sunday morphs into Manic Monday.

     

     

    Lurkin’ Huns, enjoy the Journey:)))

    They’ll have to break open the biscuit tin for that…

  11. BMCUW

     

     

    Very good!

     

     

    It would undoubtedly be a crumb of comfort to some of the smaller nations if it came to the crunch.

     

     

    HH!!

    Aye,it’s been no picnic for them.

  13. BMCUW

     

     

    Can you have your cake and eat it?

     

     

    That’s what I want to know!

     

     

    HH!!

  14. Ha aha ha ha ha

     

     

    Ha

     

     

    It really is starting to sink in now.

     

    We have been awarded one more opportunity to go on and win every trophy in Scotland.

     

     

    Ha

     

    Ha

     

     

    If we had went on to win SPFL 1, League Cup and Scottish Cup treble next year without having successfully negotiated a SPFL2 and Petrofac Cup it would all have felt incomplete.

     

     

    Ha

     

    Ah

     

     

    Thank you Motherwell.

  15. South Of Tunis on

    Lovely day – way down south.

     

     

    Today’ s La Gazzetta dello Sport says .-

     

     

    ” Rangers – No promotion and a big brawl “.

     

     

    Up early – get the work done before the cricket starts..Been a v g Test Match but possibly a bit Twenty Twenty stylee for the Test Match purists.

  16. If UEFA WERE to organise a ‘breakaway World Cup’ they could call it Not the World Cup or the Alternative World Cup.

     

     

    See what I did there?

     

     

    HH!!

  17. Morning all. Can you imagine a world where the hun are in the same league as us? Naw, neither can I!

     

     

    Could have been so different today. But it isn’t. Peepul will say the journey continues but again they are so hamstrung that they are effectively finished.

     

     

    Waltzing Mathilda springs to mind…

     

     

    “…but to hang tent with pegs, a man needs two legs, no more waltzing Mathilda for me..”

  18. As the song goes ” o what a beautiful morning”

     

    School beckons and as we all know every day is a school day (apart from those from the dark side who appear to learn nothing).

     

    James Forrest definitely worth a read.

     

    HH Tim’s everywhere

  19. Quality, a real laugh out loud moment.

     

     

     

     

    “a shot from Marvin Johnson in the 52nd minute that spun off Marius Zaliukas and was dealt with by Cammy Bell in the way a drunk man might flap at a seagull homing in on his sausage supper”

  20. 50 shades of green on

    Ha ha, Just seen the beeb highlights, when the well fans were on the park goading the huns in the stand, Did any of you see the orc pointing to a well fan and giving it the ” me and you outside ” bloody priceless.

     

     

    Enjoy that yesterday folks, cause if the same thing occurs next season it will be on ” pay for view tv “.

     

     

    I asked yesterday why Moshni wasn’t in the hugely successful pioneer painting, surely he can be added on now. :-‘)

  21. BMCUW…

     

     

    I’m not surprised, talking of cakes…I brought a box of bakewell tarts in to share out with my tim mates.

     

     

    The cherry on top looks resplendent:)

  22. Jar Jar Bins challenged Erwin to a square go outside the bus a full hour after the game lol !

     

    Would have loved to see wee Jesse Mc Parland from BGT Ireland ninja warrior kick three shades a keech out that big abomination of a player .

     

    Now that wee Barras got Talent :)

  23. Just received a text from a pal in Scotland:

     

     

    ‘Free the Motherwell two!’

     

     

    HH!!

    UEFA could hold their alternative World Cup in Summer 2022.

     

     

    That would leave FIFA FUBAR’d.

     

     

    FUBAR? Good name for a biscuit!
