Steven Mouyokolo’s last two permanent contracts were for clubs playing Premier League football in England but after joining Hull City as a 22-year-old and making 21 appearances in their relegation season, his move to Wolves bombed amid a multitude of injuries. The player has made four appearances for Wolves and four for Sochaux in the last three years.
He no longer has the profile which would be considered in the English Premier League; which is why he’s pitched up in Scotland. If his knee passes a medical this week, he’ll become the latest 6’3” defender on the Celtic books, competition for Kelvin, Virgil, Charlie, Efe and the rest.
Competition is good but Steven’s chances of edging out the competition to become a first team regular must be considered slight with his injury record, whether he passes the medical or not. It’s more likely he’ll follow the path of Jean-Joel Perrier-Doumbe, although Champions League football and a Cup Final winner is not a bad return.

Sir Paul
What dae Ah Think o’ .. STEMO?
Ah think he is a Good Yin.
Did You notice his almost.. “Velvet” touch?
No?
Well , Ah did.
That is Whit draws me tae him… His Ability tae NO.. Hoof the Ba’ Up the Park!
He prefers ,instead, tae.. pick oot a Colleague, with a well Placed Pass.
And This is Maist unusual..especially,coming frum a Lad who has not bin short-changed ,by Mother Nature. in the Physicality dept.
He sure has A very delicate touch.
For years, oan here, Ah hiv bin moaning aboot the habit of Most Celtic Defenders
(The Exception being..Kelvin Wilson.) who, after winning the Ball from the Opposition.. are
wont tae.. Immediately, Cancel oot.. that Hard Won Possession..
by.. Ye Guessed It!
By the Blootering the Ball . AIMLESSLY..up the Park.. where it is thankfully
Gobbled up by one of the opposition’s Defenders..
And once more.. Our defence is Under Seige.
This .” Gien away the Ba’.. Needlessly”.. Has bin a Major Gripe of Mine. over the Years.
By the way.. Although, over-all.. Our Defense is ,indeedly, Getting Better, but… it still has that Bedeviling Propensity. tae “Gie the Ba’ Away.. Needlessly”.
Anyway.. it does not appear that Stemo, has this aggravating proclivity.
Which… is a Big Plus.
Ah Like the Guy.. He is a Likely Lad.
It wid no be a terrible mistake, if Neil.. gives him a Contract.
Oan last night’s Showing..
Ah liked the Contributions of :
Liam Henderson A Very Likely Lad, indeed!
Dylan McGeough He is once more Back tae his Best.
Pauly George.. This is The New.. Kid Dynamite!
Kayal… He was impressive. Hope, he remains Injury free.
Darrel Fisher He did Nothing wrong.
Star Man?
Fraser Forster. Saved oor Blushes. several Times. Whita Goalie!
As you know.. the main purpose of these Friendlies is tae Hasten the Return of Physical Fitness and
and tae Regain,mair than a wee Tate of Match Sharpness.
Yesterday’s game,undoubtedly, went PART of the Way toward achieving this.
Howevahh. There is Still Lotsa Room for Improvement.
And… Time is of the Essence.
Kojo
Still.. Laughin’
Was at lovely funeral mass for Jim Harold in St Aloysius Chapelhall this morning. Jim was down syndrome but a great character and a great Celtic fan. Never saw so many green & white floral tributes. Im sure Jim will be keeping Jinky Bobby and Jock on their toes. Jim & I used to sing this song together in the Caratis club in Airdrie. YNWA Jim x

Ibrox trial for Mohsni
Rangers manager Ally McCoist will take a look at defender Bilel Mohsni when the Third Division winners travel to the Highlands.
The 25-year-old was released by Southend United, after making 80 appearances for them in the last three years.
Mohsni is the latest centre-back to be linked to Rangers with Christophe Berra and Boris Pandza also catching the club’s attention.
McCoist has already signed seven players this summer as he prepares for the challenges of Division Two.
Mohsni said: “The moment I was given a tour of the new team bus I knew I wanted to be here.
“Hopefully we can get a deal done as soon as possible. I can’t wait to use that wi-fi on the way to the Highlands.”
As I thought 14.18
as well as CF’s recommendation of Victor Montes -in the old town Casco Viejo
I can recomment the following restaurants:
Serantes1 – http://www.marisqueriaserantes.com/
Kate Zahara – http://www.kate-zaharra.com/
Casa Rufo – http://www.casarufo.com/
out of town 10 mins by cab http://www.palaciourgoiti.com/en/hotel.html
and on the coast if you hire a car -http://www.eneperi.com
Bars – the old town is full of bars my favourite though is just off the Grand Via
Cafe Iruna -http://www.xn--grupoirua-s6a.net/cafes/caf_iru.php
There is also a very famous street Licenciado Pozas in the new part of town, shopping district this is 3k long and jammed full of Bars and restaurants, Crazy Place on match days!
Hotels – There are many for all budgets, Bilbao is a big commercial centre so the central 4 and 5* stuff is expensive midweek. another avenue is private apartments homes – A lot of people rent rooms/apts try http://www.airbnb.com
Enjoy !
It was a choice between Dumb and Dumber for the SPFL top job..what a pair of Fud’s
a quote from Steelmen online – I like it
Fair old ding dong battle on centre court this afternoon between Radwanska and Lisicki, the latter now serving for the match at 8-7 in the final set.
Dunno who I’d prefer to win, but I understand ole Cadizzy in the yellow cagoule at the Box end is rooting for the heavy bresstit one.
TBB
I would definitely root for Lisicky
Jackie Mac
IMO, Dungcaster was easily the more preferable of the two. I thought in his interview on SSB last season, he came across as a generally genuine guy, and I felt that he answered everything put to him very convincingly!
That aside, fank thuck Longmuir didn’t get it, it means another hefty chunk added to Sevco’s ever-growing wage bill!
What’s not to like?

another quote from a different mullet man
‘Longmuir was far from perfect but Doncaster…. ‘
he is kidding right !
Whoever is in charge needs to accept that Scottish football fans need and deserve to know the truth. All the lies and duplicity and cheating have left the game of football in our land on the brink. A drastic change in attitude is required.

Salobrena— If I recall correctly I once played golf there– back in the days when I played golf occasionally before everyone at the CQN open takes a fit!!
I really liked the area– spent many a happy hour down at the Marina Del Este on the other side of Almunecar too.
TBB Arcachon is now very tasteful and fashionable — maybe they are waiting for your return? One disappointment so far has been the lack of a good shoe shop! They are all very sedate and a trifle boring in their wares — need to do something about that.
The village of La Teste next door is nice too. Not been round the bay yet.
Sun now out in the sky and forecast is for 32 plus for the next week or so — that will mean out for a sale on Lake Biscarosse and throwing the ancient legs around a Tennis Court.

Do you wear cowboy sandles whilst abroad?
Good news Weefrathe, I’m delighted for you. My wife was through the mill with tests today as well and again the news was good so to celebrate I bought myself a new Taylormade Driver,can’t wait for the morra to try it out. The lady in question is sitting opposite me resting whilst the last of the anesthetic is wearing off, I told her what I posted and she has promised to kill me when she is feeling better.
The signing of Steven Mouyokolo could prove to be a VERY astute piece of business if the lad has indeed put all his injuries woes behind him. Wolves saw fit to pay £2,500,000 for his services when they got him from Hull City. They must have thought summat about him to pay that sort of money!
Work in progress no doubt but we are getting good at this….
Here’s hoping! In NFL we trust.

=====================
That ability, Kojo, is one of the most underestimated in the game of football – the bravery and composure required of a defender to create from the back, from out of pressure situations and turn a match.
Beckenbauer was unsurpassed when it came to a cool head and the wherewithall to step out of defence with the ball comfortably at his feet.
It takes a great deal of faith in one’s own ability and skill level to consistently do so, and to know when the time is right – ‘better oot the park than in the net’ is the adage there.
It’s a fine line between admiration and denegration. Kelvin Wilson, I agree, has proved himself capable with his European performances, turning the opinions of many, myself included; beofr elast season’s Euro romp he was edging towards ‘bombscare’ notoriety.
I’d hope the basic tenent of the Celtic coaching regime would be to encourage building from the back at all times, so these new signings – young players with promise – get that grounding from the moment they set foot on a training pitch.
Does anybody know when the deadline is for the qualifying rounds of the UCL?
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I wonder how long it will be before the workers at Remploy receive letters from ATOS wanting to assess them for work?? Shocking stinking tories!! Who said Thatcher was dead?
Have Celtic confirmed the signing of Mouyokolo?
