Our midfield squad shuffle. Leigh, the panto misfit

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I know what you are thinking, Ewan Henderson looked the part.  Even more so than his brother, Liam, who also left Celtic for a loan spell at Hibs, before moving to Italy.  That laser-precise pass at Tynecastle which set Celtic on their way to an important victory when Neil Lennon picked up the pieces left by Brendan Rodgers pointed to riches ahead.

Unlike many apparent teenage prodigies, Ewan never disappointed, trouble was, he did not play often enough to disappoint.  All we know for sure is that Lennon did not rely on him and after six months at Lennoxtown, Ange Postecoglou has moved him on.

Hibs, managed by Shaun Maloney, who worked with the player as a Celtic youth coach, is a good move.  He has a realistic chance of commanding a regular first team place in an aspirational side.  Celtic released him permanently for little more than an initial loan agreement that will prevent Ewan from facing them for the remainder of this season.

With two midfielders already signed this month, it is no surprise that Ismaila Soro is set to follow Ewan out the door.  For reasons that continue to perplex, MLS clubs continue to swoon around the edges of the Celtic squad, with New York Red Bulls reportedly hoping to add Ismaila to a list of former Celtic misfits that includes Patryk Klimala, Cameron Harper and Lewis Morgan, the latter moving from Inter Miami last month.

Another midfielder on the move is 20-year-old summer recruit from Sheffield Wednesday, Liam Shaw, who will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Motherwell.  Liam was one of the success stories in the win over Real Betis in December.  The move to Fir Park will hopefully give him an opportunity for first team football, it should also give you and me a better chance to assess his potential.

The Dundee pantomime season officially ends this week (oh yes it does) and Dundee are wondering what use they have for our on-loan panto act, Leigh Griffiths.  We are short of striker talent and Ange is still new to Scotland, so may be unfamiliar with how things work.  The panto season is also over in Glasgow, Leigh’s time at Celtic must also be over.

10 sleeps ’til Hibs.

    Maybe it would work but better to sell to a BMG than buy from them

    Hot smoked I apologise for the misleading moniker. StephenofDerby relates to my old local in Mossend, Lanarkshire. The owner then was the person who introduced me to CQN. A top Celtic man and thoroughly good human. Ive lurked for a long time. I love the discussion here and read all the posts. My problem is keeping up with who said what! Hope yer well. I love Celtic. Its part of my life. Part of what shapes me. The stuff on here is a great place to disagree with like minded folks (If that makes sense). The Celtic family indeed!

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    From another rainy morning in Melbourne.

     

    Not going anywhere today so not too bothered, still feel

     

    a wee bit off due to my booster, embdy else similarly

     

    affected ?

     

    STEPHENOFDERBY

     

    Keep on banging the posts in on here, I personally find

     

    them refreshing.

     

    Off to the caravan next week with wee Grace, she’s got

     

    her pink Celtic top laid out, and a tiny pair football boots

     

    says she’ll wear them to the beach ???

     

    No doubt we’ll meet up with PADDYMACOZ and some

     

    other peninsula bhoys/ghirls.

     

    Can’t wait to hear our committees plans for our CSC going

     

    forward.

    A question for some on here.

     

    If a Celtic player injures himself scoring a goal for Celtic would he receive the same shit as a guy defending a goal against Celtic?

     

    Endlessly questioned by some Orthopaedic specialists on here aswell as the psychologists as to when he decides he wants to play.

     

    This big guy is fighting for his career and deserves some encouragement.

     

    In the season before his injury he brought much happiness to us fans.

     

    The ones who know and experienced some of those occasions will not forget. HH 🍀

    Thanks Melbourne Mick. I appreciate that. Id have posted a long time ago but work and life and all that stuff. I love the way you are an ambassador for our club in your life there. I will never be the most knowledgeable fan when it comes to the fine detail. My Celtic is a feeling. A connection with others. The joy of being amongst friends. The lights on a European night. Being a bit of an eejit on the 240 home. A wee sing song. The absolute delight that I see in ma Mums face when Celtic score. Whether half the world away or sitting where I am we are the same. Hh

    CardboardCSC,

     

     

    Thank you for the Jullien post.Feels like some want the guy to fail.

     

     

    Brian F.You still acting like a wee stood up tart,because I roasted one of your incredibly crap posts.

     

    I think going by the many comments,the majority think you post guff,or do you never read back.

  21. stephenofderby on

    Turkeybhoy Julien is a great player. Its always been easier to pick a players faults than emphasise their strengths. The thought that hes on a holiday makes no sense to me. I look forward to his return. Hh

    Sorry FRED but I’d rather watch the grass grow.

     

    Don’t mind winding the Engerlunders up though and

     

    asking them “ How yous doin at the bat the baw “. 🤣

    Captivating.

     

     

     

    I am very excited about where we want to Go to.

     

     

    Despite it being Impossible.

     

     

    I reckon Ange will Win A European Cup.

     

     

    It wullnae be the Shiniest Ever but, but You cannae go to the Euro Final, Somebody get me a mask (naw I’d miss another Celtic EURO Final). I have my Strong beliefs.

     

     

    I Hope, as my Son is 2nd Vaccinated that he would be Good to go to an Excellent event Abroad?

  26. petec on

    Hopefully England can do the Bizz (Sorry Ange) and save a a bit of Cricketing Pride – Love the Olde game to watch.

     

     

    Not had the chances to do so, so far.

     

     

     

    Its a Mad World.

    Sionnaigh,

     

     

    Your assessment of Ange so far?

     

     

    In words or tunes, or Any other way you have preference to do so.

     

     

    No problemo.

     

     

    I Think He is HARDCORE the Man for CELTIC

  34. petec on

    I’m Usually wrong but I Would prefer YNWA was kept for the Big Games. I know not who is the DJ @ Celtic Park.

     

     

    Last Season watching the Celtic Love / Live as the Passports will be incorporated into the New Season Tickets.

     

     

     

    I Fear.

    I can 100% assure you Postecoglou knows how Leigh Griffiths works.

     

     

    He will never play for Celtic again so long as he is manager.

     

    ==/==

     

    Yup the account of the meeting I heard where Ange told Griffiths he was off backs you up.
