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.

The Ibrox pitch is reflecting the great men who created their new club. Green and White.

Very good!
And do you know the two most common fish eaten in Glasgow, both begin with the letter S?
A Single and a Special!!!
Thought they had undersoil heating. Shame for the diets travelling all that way.
Can’t believe ref gave go ahead when pitch was clearly unplayable from first kick.
Why did they not clear the whole pitch in the same way they did the goalmouth area ? So much for under soil heating…….this was pre-arranged

My feckin sides
Was just thinking the same:)))
What was it they fell out with Dundee Utd for over ticket charges for replay you say Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
More time for protests so not all bad.
Game stops and the bigotry goes into overdrive…Focus away for a Bovril!
Honestly,
Is there a more risible outfit in European ?
Nice to see McCulloch, arm round Madden, whispering in his ear.
Hello Hello
We’re up to our knees in Fenian snow
Banned song in full cry
Common sense – game abandoned !
Should never have started ! Ronny and John would have got nothing from watching that game anyway. The conditions did not suit Hertz who try to play football, but suited ‘pump it up the park in the air’ Sevco.
Bad news for the on field protest planned as well :-))))
How many amateur football matches take place in far worse conditions than that ?
This sums up the SFA what an absolute farce and embarrassment.
Billy boys ringing out, fighting……mike Ashley will get blame for this as well
