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.

Bobby Mad Hun is excellent at running backwards.
Did Craigan have his mortgage on a result tonight?
basically called out Madden for stopping game – even the mullet was embarrassed.
I assume they wint charge Hearts fans for reply …. Ahem
Madden not reffing semi
Walter Smith given the gig
Wonder if Sevco will let the hearts fans in for free like they demanded Dundee utd did for them, then called a bhoycott
sleekit sleekit corrupt orcs

If ye want a job done. ….
Tonight summed up how far they have gone. The two mascots were wearing Slazenger blue tops with no logos on them.
One of them actually had the logo covered with black tape.
Wint = wont
Oh sorry wee chick confirming hertz will get free tkt
And still the blazers want this permanent embarrassment amd occasional disgrace to be part of Scottish fitba……

Precisely why the game was allowed to commence.
Absurd to even start the game. Couldn’t see the ball, which wouldn’t bother Elbows. Hope Ladbrokes reimburse my bet. Anyone know ?
Disappointed with Michael Stewart saying match should have continued.
Nonsense. Hope Hamilton is nothing like that tomorrow.

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
TOO busy round at the front door shouting:)))
Not being in Glasgow I dont know what the local conditions were and how soon before the game did the snow fall but for what is worth i think that the Ref made the right calls. As an ex ref ( only grade 3 – so what do I know ) if looked playable to me at the start especialy with the sections that had been cleared and the conditions at the start. However it quickly became apparant that it was unplayable and the risk of injury to players
was high. If either team had scored before Madden abandondend the game there may have been a riot, I think he made the right call but questions should be asked about why the heating wasnt on if indeed that was the case.

As if to underline the crazy conditions, Rangers full-back Lee Wallace runs up the left wing and takes a fresh-air swipe when trying to cross the ball – it stayed stuck in the snow when Wallace thought it would roll on. Madness.
Sure it was the conditions???
Chico saying refund or ticket replacement.

Not a problem for Rangers, they’ll just start a new game and call it the same one
brilliant
Will the rearranged game be ‘oldmatch’ or ‘newmatch’ and will it be under a new ‘Holding Whistle’ ?
Maybe they’ were waiting for match administrator to see if the snow got liquidated before making a decision ?

Ah Triggers broom.
How apt.
The bold Trig got an award for having the same broom for 15 years.
Only changed the brush 18 times and the stick 20 times in that period!!
Same broom/same club
RIP Trig
Is there any danger to our game tomorrow?
Refund? Would you count on getting money.back from them? An IOU or a sports direct 50% off voucher for sondico trackie bots more likely….
Hopefully wages, appearance money, policing, will make tonight run at a loss for thems.
to be fair the players would have been able to see the ball no problem, just no one watching on the telly could
but why did they not send a few of their goons up to the asda to steal a few plastic snow shovels and then stop the game for 15 minutes to clear the pitch
muppet show of the highest order

Mark Hately will inevitably conclude that an abandoned game is like a new signing.
