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. Absolute disgrace! Did you see that clown Scott Leitch in the Motherwell dugout. Didn’t even applaud the 3rd goal. He even looked sadder than McCall and Kenny Black!!

    Celtic, going by what Paul has written, have said goodbye to the Old Firm. It is difficult, as shown by CQN today, for many Celtic men to say goodbye to Rangers. Many on here will watch Rangers games next season. Those who do cannot surely condemn our board for Old Firmism.

    Wee Nevin – the only person who thinks the tackle on Miller was a penalty.

  5. LMAO – the Cammy Bell angle from behind the goal is priceless!

     

     

    Add a shriek as the ball reaches him and there’s comedy gold forever.

    Wilson- McCall was very clear re Moshni- Motherwell fans goading the vermin …ffs

  10. Wilson giving it to the Well fans on the pitch.

     

     

    On the highlights, one of them was a wee 8 year-old running about!

    They huns know all about goading…every fekn weekend of the year is marching season.

     

    UP THEM!

  13. Richard Wilson needed to finish rounding off the Hun comments there by choking back the tears and muttering, ‘I miss Sir David…’ before melting into Nevin’s arms.

  14. It’s become a favourite phrase by pundits after a Sevco game….”Should Rangers have had a penalty?”

  15. Captain Beefheart on

    Someone called Andy Burnham (me neither) wants England to boycott Russia’s World Cup. The football world would be devastated by the loss of England. Devastated.

  16. Ray Winstone's Big Disembodied Heid on

    Rat Nevin on Moshni. “That’s the closest thing to an assault you’ll see”

     

     

    FFS the game’s over and Moshni clearly kicks and then punches Erwin.

     

     

    What do you have to do to commit an actual assault in Nevin’s world?
