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.

Just like the Ajax fans, assaults threatening behaviour are all ok, its just offensive singing thats dangerous………………..
This game will only be abandoned if Hearts score first
News flash .. It’s not snowing clear the pitch ffs!
Just shows you how skint they are they cannot afford to pay the leccy bill for the under soil heating, just loving it :-)))))
This game must be abandoned.
This will be called off
Game is a farce. Stupid referee influenced by Huns desire for money…..
Not watching the sevco match, from those who are, is the undersoil heating not on ?
Scotlands top 5 star stadium……………………………………..
And if it is – what will all those zombies have to do other than riot?!
They’ll wait til Hearts score before abandoning it
Game will only be abandoned if the Glasgow huns go behind
Minute Hearts put the ball in the pokey Madhun will blow time up on game,
How hard would it be to clear the pitch? A dozen men with shovels it would be clear in 10 minutes.
When the toilet rolls get unleased we wont be able to see them

They’re revolting.
Always were, always will be………see what I did there……??
I take it they can’t afford to turn on the under soil heating?
To be fair this is the first time it’s really snowed in Sevco’s history so you can understand the lack of shovels (£5.99 in Govan asda)
Can they not afford an orange ball?

Kevj…….you have to use the phone,if it’s PL yer calling
tell him I and the rest of the Celtic support want a striker
take care and stay safe ma ole jungle comrade.
Given that it’s stopped snowing , how long would it take to clear the snow , as they have done with both 6 yard boxes.
This is a joke.
Pity they’ve not got a gardener to help with the pitch.
Oh wait……

Youd think an something orange would be easy to put your hands on
Wonder if former RFC ( IL) ST holder Madden gave the go ahead under a bit of pressure coz Sevco need the dosh?
The game will be called aff shortly after the minis score
As an ex amateur referee, that pitch is definitely not playable as there is a real danger of player injury never mind farcical conditions underfoot.
If they cleared the lines and the goal areas, why not the whole pitch?
More snow or a Hertz goal should see the game abandoned if the referee doesn’t do what’s right. BT might have a say in it of course !
Looks like a new sport has been invented tonight. Ice football
If they make it to the second half before its abandonded do they get to keep the gate money
Half the Hearts support are probably on the M8
Stewards been told to expect game called of at ibrokes..

Certainly doesn’t look as if it’s been on.
Madhun probably got plod in his ear “ffs dont abandon it till the loons are freezing and too cold to riot”
Was going to asked how D Wilson playing ,but it sounds a shambles.
Giving it five more minutes at Icepox.
Ref waiting for Hertz to score before calling game off

If memory serves you get fined if game doesn’t go ahead and there’s undersoil. Not sure there’s a penalty if game is called off once started

………..
That’s right.
Game should have been held up for 20 mins or so and that could have been brushed off.
Absolute farce.
clear the snow…
nae workers to clear snow.
nae under soli heating.????
nae money for leckie.
Green and White pitch with no orange ball. You could not make it up !
