Delighted we have made the pre-contract signing of Gary Mackay-Steven. Gary signed for Dundee United from Airdrie in 2011 as a 20-year-old and soon became a popular figure for United fans. He has been one of several members of Jackie McNamara’s squad who has attracted attention this season and will be a loss to the former Celtic defender.
It’s all about the system
Gary is left-footed but can play on either side of the 3-behind-the-striker Ronny Deila likes to deploy. He is industrious and has a bag of tricks that makes for a good highlights video on YouTube.
I watched him turn it on against Dundee on New Years’ Day, and fondly recall a virtuoso Scottish Cup performance at Ibrox, but I’m always reluctant to offer a recommendation on a player we’ve only seen against Celtic, or in the odd TV game. The most encouraging part of this deal is that Celtic will have watched the player literally dozens of times – we want to get our first choice players, and we don’t want to be dependent on the recommendation of a foreign-based acquaintance.
United may consider cashing-in on the player this month, but I’m sure it won’t be for the £80k Sheffield United offered earlier this week.
This will be a timely boost ahead of tomorrow’s important game against Hamilton Accies, who I’ve watched a fair bit of this season. They are a far better team than we thought they were went they left Celtic Park with a win in October, while their pitch provides a different challenge.
It’s as game I expect us to win but I’ll be happy when the result is in the bag.
Many thanks to everyone who booked tickets for the CQN11 St Patrick’s Night on Friday 13 March at the Kerrydale suite. You can book at the bottom of this page, or email me if you’d like to hold a ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com .
The event has been live for less than 24 hours and we are already well on the way to funding the school kitchen in Malawi for Mary’s Meals.

Remember when Moonbeams used to value the Big Hoose at over £100,000,000 – as a security.

That’s not you laughing at people with a different upbringing and cultural background, is it?
Tut! Tut!

I too had been wondering about what was behind the fish jokes.
Brilliant.
Thanks for that.

The SMSM figure is made up, reckon we’ll cut a deal. We did it with Gary Caldwell from Hibs, and suspect Utd will want it done.
Thank you, Paul67

If it doesn’t work out for GMS at Celtic, he can go back to musical theatre.

On way out, but your linking of taking the piss out of stupid ideas from a website to hatred of the Sevconians was stretching it a bit, to put it mildly.
If you’re on later, I’ll expand if you do wish.
Hail Hail!
TET – delighted you have her home! Please pass on our best wishes
So.
For those still wondering about the fish/tennis ball references. They come from Agent Monaghan 1900s foray into Hun Media posted on the last thread @10.15.
Definitely worth a look. Evidence of some Timposters. The chicken wrap one absolutely has to be. Hard not to feel superior mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

will do, thanks.

Well Mike Ashley he was the chief
The Brothers Grimm they were fully briefed
And that wee traitor called Mark Hately turned his back on his own
They want to give us a loan
They want to steal our home
The gravy trains over its time to go home

Come on Mike Ashley
Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)
At this moment you mean nothing
You in that dress

Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Mike Ashley

Gary Mackay-Steven big yes from me
Lawellaccountant guy, really glad I missed what he typed
This site does far too much good to be brought down to the gutter, the good guys will always outnumber the not so good, am away to do the dishes and laugh out very loud at SSB, apologies but these days it is worth listening too while doing my chores
Welcome GMS. Now that’s a signing policy. I would love to see him this month and I’m sure we will. He’ll thrive with us.

More breaking news. Mike Ashley hopes to open Sports Direct biggest Megastore in U.K. in Edmiston Drive. All stock will be stored in a massive warehouse near Auchenhowie.
