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.

This young Bhoy – ahem – is about to go to bed.
I leave you with a child from Paisley who can sing. And then some.

We are likely to be playing two games
a week until the SPL split which makes the games
in gran canaria even more nonsensical.

That is exactly what I have been told, his will to win and wanting to succeed got him to Parkhead…..it’s what we should be about,nut in amongst all that he actually could “kick a ba”
Where are the sky domes with retractable roofs and casinos when you need them ?

Goodnight sir

Cannot begin to think how humiliating this whole episode must be tonight for ‘ra people’ .
Just hope we are 120% together with our team tomorrow at Hamilton.
That game really does matter. The 1st of 9 MUST WINS.
I remember sitting in the temporary stand/scaffolding with more snow than was on the hun pitch tonight.
We are a tighter breed.
Just remember they probably just made the sky dome roof driver redundant along with the tea lady.

Nick Cave…..been to a right few gigs over the years, but this comes close to the best opening number. Starts off kinda slow but stay with it!

Amazed ( and amazing ) watching that footage from the nick cave concert, u must have been literally standing next to me…….
Seen him about a dozen times, that night was fantastic.
HH & goodnight.
gerryfraethebrig,
McStay, Grant and Burns???
I’d doubt anyone of our generation* could trump that for Celticness…..although you could maybe add big Roy to that trio, from his midfield days?
HAIL! HAIL!

I was a wee bit further back than that. It was only a Thursday! (Halloween?)
Making the hairs on my back ( only place I’ve any left) stand up just watching that.

Pity, but although I’m a rare visitor myself. Two good guys. At this time of year I have Dick Byrne in my thoughts. His was the first tragedy to hit this blog that I remember.
He helped me bring my eldest to the Roy Keane debut I think it was against Kilmarnock.
