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.

A real gem a of a Mhan. Not seen or spoken to him for a while now. And as I said previously more’s the pity. Not surprised he helped you out.

It’s a small world, I am also 44 but the person you refer to “Dick Byrne” was my boss last year, not so much boss but he sometimes instructed what to do (boss)
Defo one of the good guys, before I knew of CQN I used to walk by his desk and I now know what site he was on all those years ago

RC has never posted a song on here that I don’t like.

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how many arrests were made by police Scotland during some of the most violent scenes ever seen at a Scottish football stadium?
Great to see the Irish Brigade posting in numbers tonight. Belfast here we come!

Roy Croppie @ 0033,
haha aye that they could.
But Messrs Marr and Stephen Patrick Morissey would be horrified that their songs were associated with the Zombies…..although this one could apply to those very same zombies:

I am still friendly with a few Bhoys that work beside DB, I was offered voluntary redundancy and I didn’t have a choice as my good lady decided to take it, but hopefully DB will be back, I am sure he will be at CQN11, it’s partly down to him I plucked up the courage to post

Gerryfraethebrig,
the last time I spoke to DB was at CQTen. Didnt get the chance to speak to him for long though as i was too busy talking to so many folk i hadnt seen or spoken to for ages….or indeed those i had never met in person before that night but had “spoken” to many times on the blog.
Im sure i’ll speak to him at CQN11 though. And your good self??

The fact that both of you love Mr Byrne and by your own admission you don’t post as much, please post more, I only plucked up the courage before Christmas after reading for couple of years……the more the good ghuys post the less we need to read of the not so good
They couldnae make any arrests …..the polis vans were skidding in the snow….imagine them getting stuck…the hordes would have set about them….maybe anither day…..aye right
