It comes as no surprise that Celtic have made a bid for Hibernian’s John McGinn. The player was the standout central midfield performer in domestic football against a Celtic team who are at their strongest in that area.
Should he sign, he would be a similar age to that of Stuart Armstrong when he joined Celtic three years ago, and who he will replace in the squad. He is also a better player that Stuart was when he left Dundee United. He has the engine and attitude for Brendan Rodgers to significantly improve him.
Goals grab headlines and the two McGinn scored at Celtic Park last season, as well as his goal at Ibrox which secured a win, raised the player’s profile, but goals only tell a small part the McGinn story.
Hibs will be happy to wait until the last week of August and will try to attract other bidders. Despite taking a back seat when it comes to day-to-day duties, Rod Petrie remains a key figure at Easter Road and will do whatever he can to sell to anyone but Celtic. I don’t expect Celtic to pay whatever Hibs ask, so the deal is far from assured, but with only 11 months remaining on his contract, he will definitely leave Hibs before 1 September.
I see Belgium got awful leaky at the back last night….

Hendry looking big and strong in this game.
Moussa has been excellent and with luck a hat trick.
Their number 9 playing like a sleek it hun.Left the boot in a few times and when he has possession he leans back into the Celtic player and flops.Ref is giving them.

Sniff sniff.)))
Celtic have run their Hooped socks off
Moussa off at HT.
Hiya guys, posting a bit earlier tonight, thanks to the CQN’rs who replied to my Feyenoord post last night, I was unable to reply being tied to the couch with the blood and tears running out of it watching that horrendous extra time, even after all these years I‘m still waiting on Yogi bursting the net with that run through at the start.
Gene, I do see your point about not watching it again, but it was just to let me clear up a few things I couldn’t remember.As for Seville, I feel the same way about that game as Gene does about Milan, I went all the way there with a ticket and still never got in, but hey ho that’s another story. Looking forward to Colombia Engerlund tonight, I’ve went 2 nil Colombia.
Hail Hail
K Bhoy
PS got the Sparta game on Celtic TV still 1 nil up
Come on England, I know you can do it – don’t disappoint me!
James poleaxed by one of the bouncy bouncy Czechs:((
good attacking play from us , they are starting to get a bit physical.
Callum playing like he believes he is the main man that he is.
Starry
So you don’t have a scooby either then :-)
HH
good double save from CG to keep us 1 up.
Great double save by CG.

What made it worse was the chaos at malpensa airport – they ended up putting anyone on a flight back to Glasgow – spent night in airport – got back 1pm next day

Nir Bitton the invisible man, embdy any idea ???
——-
Bitton is still recovering from the knee injury, he is in Glasgow.
Can only assume Morgan has some kind of injury.
Hazard on for CG.
Reagan Hendry on for Ntcham
a couple of the development squad on for CG and ON.
We have the Wizard of Oz, the bomb scare also the best defender at the WC in the groups that is Dedryk, Gamboa who equipted himself well against quality oppo, and the Swede with no legs to come back, decisions for Brendan.
Sure I have forgotten someone !!!
Yeah Gene, I did read about all that Airport chaos and strikes in Milan which I believe also affected the players on the way back home, also looks as though a lot of rain fell during the match, just can’t associate it with all the razzamatazz of a modern day Champs League final.I also believe we had up to 30,000 fans there but you still couldn’t hear us for all these horrible Dutch horns

Cheers, just shows what I know, I thot Bitton had recovered, I did read that Morgan had a niggle right enough.
HH
a good run and shot from C.Mc.G , deflected for a corner still 1-0
we appear to be playing the ball quicker into midfield not as much passing across the backline.
Odsonne off, 4 boys on now. 10 minutes to go.
Score immaterial now. Game management time.
Good game; hoops looking good but tiring now.
Ron67
Maybe we are changing tactics in order to accomodate a player I rate highly, but you don’t, in our midfield. Bankiebhoy John McGinn. ????
FT 1-0 , a good workout and solid display and fitness levels good.
FT 1-0
