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.

Would Sevco have received the TV money if the game had been postponed?
Would Sevco have been liable to refund ticket money had the game been postponed?
What happened to the under-soil heating?
Farse.
One minute hun pundits want game abandoned then start complaining when it is!
Sounds like a bit of hun on wee hun action in the background.
TV would have made the game go ahead, not the huns money grabbing.
This is just so,so funny.
Blue on blue action.
Nazi salutes from union bares?
Iight-weight snow plough would have sorted that…..
Shame when cousins fall out :-)
Total farce. Game only went ahead so Huns got the gate money. They should be fined for not putting the under soil heating on. Madden should just do the decent thing and go back to being a ST holder.
Perhaps scotland should consider changing the football season to the summer ?
To be fair to Madden he did give the game 20 minutes or so to see if Rangers might fluke a 2-0 lead before chucking it.
Fans at ibrokes..misbehaiving according to w miller…if at Celtic park…ww3 ..
Madden plausible, to be fair
In the event of the match being abandoned after having kicked off you may be entitled to a refund of the cash admission charge paid at the turnstile in the determination of the Club/Event Organiser acting reasonably. Where a match is abandoned before the expiry of the first half admission arrangements for the rearranged fixture will be issued to those who attend the abandoned match. These arrangements in cases where the match is abandoned after the expiry of the first half shall be a matter for the reasonable discretion of the Club.

Do they have to refund money if game doesn’t make it to half time? But still have to fork out for stewarding, policing, lighting, heating (cough), etc.
How come they’ve managed tae clear the goalmouths, and left the rest.
A leveller indeed.
Bloody hell clearing the pitch with a wooden BRUSH haha
Hertz fans to blame for the snow, alongside Ashley, us, HMRC, the Pope and that fenian ghod in the sky…everything is against us…sellic left the lights on for the war and a canny even talk about martin mcguinness!

What’s the bets the Underground heating was not turned on until the last possible to save money.
Haaaahaaaahaaa

They’ve got one shovel, literally one shovel and a brush.
Windy replies before the question. Two Ronnies sketch.

Not a problem for Rangers, they’ll just start a new game and call it the same one
How big (wee) was the crowd………
The Huns have just earned a second cash influx due to abandonment and a second game they are daft but not completely stupid. Oh well I suppose thats debatable.H.H.

Trigger’s broom
Is it safe to assume that, since the game was started, Sevco gets to keep the gate from today, and charge for the replay?
Utter farce
That pitch could have been cleared in 15 minutes with 15 or 20 guys with bog standard B and Q brushes / snow shovels.
Sevco motto
Nae Refunds
Ibrox Pitch is Green & White!
Someone’s had away with the piping from the undersoil heating I reckon.
It just gets funnier.

That’s Trigger’s Broom. It is up there with the St Etienne bike, the Leaking Cup and those shares in Arsenal that seem to have been removed from the picture frame.
Craigan trying to be controversial…fud!
Radio scotland saying they had an hour to clear pitch and did nothing.. It’s an embarrassment to Scottish football according to them .
Haha haha
What happened to the sit in?
Are the huns talkin to BBC now
Fkn unbelievable
I take it they had no orange balls
Oh the irony !
