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.

Elbows’ desperate efforts to win a penalty tonight will surely see him nominated for a gourami award

GMS pe-signing must mean wee jamsie oot ra door at the end of the season. No way would you have both in the same starting XI.

Id say Tonev, Wakaso, Berget and Derk will be offski way before him or before he is ever considered to be flogged, both also play on opposite wings!

There’s a wee hint in there somewhere …….. No green straws in ipox…..never, never, never
Should the protest go ahead will the police be fish-kettling the protest. I think we should be told.
I imagine with the number of aholehole’s involved in the Ibrox Board room the Alge Eaters in the stands will none too Alooh, in fact they have likely spent so much time in the Barfish they are were and truly Barblel-ed by current goings on. These guys thought they were once the Kingfish but now they are just Orange Roughy. Come the 1st of Feb any Tims oot and about will need to watch out for the Naked-back Knifefish amongst them!
MWD said AYE
I’ll be gutted if we don’t get GMS in this month…

Nah, wee Jamesie will be gone. Compared to GMS, he’s too shellfish.
Kenny Dogfish definitely blotted his Celttic legend by working at Pondland…..
Great signing.He is a very good wee player.Lets hope we can get him signed up now.I said yesterday,a wee bit like the Super Joe signing.
Some reports on about Max Power.Seems like Brighton are in for him,and the media saying this could scupper Celtics chances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Brighton,FFS.Relegation fodder in England.
It really would be a bad day if we lost out to these nonentities.If there is any truth in the story.
Where is Tony Donnelly?.

I’m not going to take the bait and read that whole post.

Sounds fishy to me, and to Jimmy Mackerelik
The long wait is over
As of last night they were still in discussions.
I will note that GMS is very rarely excited, signing for Liverpool almost raised a smile. He spoke with our manager last night and had to be scraped off the ceiling!!
Thinking of changing my moniker in solidarity.
How about The Battered Bonito? The Battered Tunny? What do you think?
For others, might I suggest…

One right,one left playing well would be a nightmare for any defence.
No chance Wee Jamesy will go.
Sorry….been out ….what’s the ‘FISH’ connection?
