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.

Not sure what is more embarrassing. The fact I’m watching or these…
Two girls RNgers mascots. One is wearing a top without the sponsors logo. The other is wearing a top with the logo masked by black tape. Poor wee girl.
Rangers fan holding sign saying “4th generation fan. Not spending a penny more”. While at the game he paid more than a penny for.
How’s this game being played!!!.
Joe,
If they lose tonight Ronny and jc will be miles down the list of targets.
Bobby Madden no longer in charge of semi final. Curious
BT Sport announce that Madden WILL NOT referee LC semi.

Your post is every bit as offensive as the post from lawwelsacountant which was removed. The difference is you should know better.
If the ugly ones outside the Sports Direct Arena had have put their hands in their pockets when it mattered their new club might not be in the predicament that it is in.

Scotland is corrupt.
Just tuned in to BT Sport. Utter farce. There’s no way that pitch is of sufficient standard for a professional game. Someone liable to get a serious injury.
Can they not afford an orange ball
This big Hun mini Hun game is a joke ! How can a ref say that is playable a yellow baw ye cannae see lol !
Sumdae get their erchie doon to sports direct soccer and get wan of these ORANGE BAWZ ;)
There used to be undersoil heating at ibrox, but they are afraid to use it in case the snow is liquidated.
Have the bills been paid ?
Chicko mentioned earlier that undersoil heating was turned up full pelters !
Does it work ?
Was looking forward to CQN aand the Newco Huns on the wireless
So I log on and find a troll infestation.
Ah well, loggoff time and plan B.

People on here should realise that Alfie Noakes is a pantomime..to distract from the other pantomime…should be ignored…i do..
If they get an orange ball the game will end 0-0 as both teams will refuse to kick it. H.H.;- )

So who was it thought that a yellow ball would be more visible against white snow? Get a dark coloured ball on.
The game itself is a complete farce at the moment.
News just in:
Ian Paisley coming back from the dead to referee Scottish League Cup final
Both managers complaining to 4th official, asking for game to be abandoned.
The snow on the park is a great leveller.
Mmmmm
