John McGinn is worth the £4m Hibs want for him. If he was under contract at Celtic, we would not sell him for anything less. But his sale price will be determined by the number of potential buyers in the market and where the player wants to move to, not his inherent utility as a football player. These factors set his price.
I would not be surprised if Peter Lawwell had the the words “171 days” marked on a whiteboard in his office. That’s how long he will need to wait to put a pre-contract in front of McGinn. Having signed such a deal, the player’s value would be no more than £250k, a drop of £3.75m over the period, reducing at just shy of £22k a day.
You know Peter, it’s not going to happen. He’ll wait. John will wait too, and the people at Hibs will continue to murmur about Rod Petrie. I like signing players on pre-contracts. In the Celtic universe, it makes the world spin a little faster.
Stick at it, John. Give Hibs your best between now and January.
I’m reluctant to touch the Kieran Tierney “story”. By all reports, Celtic’s very firm reaction has convinced Everton to look elsewhere, but I’ll be pleased when the English Premier League transfer window closes in four weeks. Killing a transfer is an art, not a science.

No harm to the young fella,but at 21yo and only 22 appearances including loans,I don’t think he’s a world-beater.

England Panama and Egypt are the only teams to lose 3 games at the World Cup.

Agreed and once you take away their idea of “the queen’s highway, i.e we walk where we like” it removes their power to intimidate in those areas and flash points.
I don’t think they’ll ever fully go away, like the Klan they will be marginalised to the edges of the Alt Right as it’s come to be known.
Last Saturdays unpalatable attack will continue to back fire on them and they will be compelled to re.route which can only be a good thing, shamefully though it’s casts another black cloud over another Glasgow Summer as it has been doing for as long as I can remember.
Their own ideology and behaviour will be their downfall.
Police Scotland’s behaviour will be a much tougher fight as it’s institutionalised and personally I find their behaviour even more abhorrent as they hide behind their uniform of office.
That’s a more insidious foe.
Step by step tho:))
Spes Unica:)))
Looking forward to a good game, although I can’t see anything other than a France win. Strong in all areas. I’ll go for 2-0.
Novak will see Croatia kick off in Moscow…
Dembele never looked sharper in the Hoops, love to see him sign on for a couple more seasons
Good stuff,James.

Don’t worry, I’ll be around, mate. I’ve just been busy to be honest. I think it is shaping up to be a good season – retention of young stars is far more impressive to me than new recruits. However, I still have very grave reservations about the governance of the game and what the board’s intentions are in that regard.
Two minutes into the show and Poo-gatch mentions Geoff Hurst’s hat-trick in 1966.
They just can’t help themselves!

Re the OO – any restrictions will be a call to arms for the kulture – cue recruitment drive
ITV panel has a less effect on my up-chuck reflex than the
BBC panel.
Tension building up here.
Idemo dalje Hrvatska.
Worcester come up short Yorkshire win by 12 runs – Footie time
Not really supporting either team. Maybe Croatia because they are the underdogs but can’t see beyond a France victory.
Hope it’s a good game.
how long before a reference to the EPL or England –
Cmon the Frenchies
Only reason is my Bhoy has some dosh on them. Also because of our own French connection.
HH
D. :)
Gene: just looking at those line ups and not sure many of them play in the EPL. Having said that, I rarely watch EPL football now.
15 mins 0-0, France haven’t started.
Giroud or Moussa, give me Moussa all day long.
I would have Eddie before { Giroud…What’s the point }
Bad break for Croatia.
It’s all Croatia and then they concede an o.g. Shame.
soft freekick – og
Where the eff is the VAR, that was a dive from Greizman
Greizman…cheat.
Conned the ref by putting his leg into the defender.
Hunnish tactic.
Too bad. Croatia have been more willing to give it a go, while France seems willing to sit back and counterattack.
Shame … there is so much attacking skill in this French team, it sort of feels like watching someone drive a Ferrari through the streets in second gear
Would rather Croatia scored first, as it would force Deschamps To open up and go for it.
I thought Croatia’s goalkeeper look suspect at the England goal and today again at the French goal, ref was conned for the free kick tho:((
random question, is VAR going to be used in any of the major leagues or tournaments this season ?
yes
Beauty
Great equalizer.
Great goal. 1-1.
A deserved equalizer for Croatia
What a goal son
