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.

That will be Burnley 78. It’s a certainty.

Oh, …..King has called for an EGM to instal himself, while the 3 bears are, as we speak, in discussion with the Board he is wanting to oust…….crafty pressure on the Board ?
Apparently game might be off tonight due to a world record amount of tennis balls on the pitch

How stupid are they?
They should be hiding tennis balls in Tesco, and throwing dead fish on the pitch.
I think they’ve started acting on this already, as I saw some dead fish in Tesco this morning.
They seemed to have forgotten the ‘hidden’ part, though!

Cheers, but it’s the truth, I have never posted in any other on-line site, CQN attracted me with the charity ethos and for a 40+ year old man, I actually like the fact swearing is a no-no, it’s easy to sit in the boozer and swear but too actually type it, is a total joke, especially since it’s well known kids read this blog, this site will always get the better of the people who actually don’t want to be on it !
take care & Hail Hail

Good news.Best wishes re Mrs TET’s recovery, recuperation and return to good health.Car Boot Sales – soon come !
BT sport showing some angry zombies outside the big hoose.

Oor country is seriously broken, watching STV News and the figures talked about for people having to use food banks is really depressing and the number is rising.
Time we had a revolution. Some crazy figure bandied about that 1 % of the population has 90 % of the wealth.
Revolt…ing
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are 384 foodbank projects across EVERY country in Europe – do you want THIRTY revolutions going on at the same time?
Not unconnected – sales of 50″ TVs and Playstations soared during December – coincidence?
Apparently in the ‘free for all’ that developed at Tesco Silverburn on Black Friday during the special sale of 50″ TVs – cries of “get a move on, the foodbank shutting early today”
Sack the board.
Angry scenes outside Ibrox
Been out all day – what’s the tennis ball reference – not more direct action?
