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.

Delaneys Dunky,
Annoyed that my Son was smacking his mouse so much when losing the games tonight. His Mum spent a fortune on that mouse.
He will be thinking about what I said, hopefully.
Gerryfraethebrig,

He texted me too (along with half of CQN i think!) and I’ll be sitting at one his tables.
We’ll defo catch up later mate.

You are so right.
He is a choirbhoy compared to me.
He loves the Green Brigade.
Thank You for perspective.
oops
Njoi the game today, Great Celt. I’ll be at the H&B over the coming months, God Willing.
DD,
unluckily for you perhaps, I have to agree ;-)

As soon as I posted on this site Lennybhoy contacted me, haven’t met him yet in person but he knows people that know me and vice versa defo one of the good guys
Yet again all that is good about CQN !
That’s my line there is a lot more good about CQN than bad probably 98% to 2% and that’s a conservative opinion not that am looking for an argument about politics
Petec
I am saving all my pennies for Belfast now. Coming soon! Hopefully before Armageddion Time!
Gerry
I have never met LB, but feel like I have, due to our chat on here and by txt.
Republican Clydebank, Coatbridge and Dumbarton must show the Way.
Good reading back espcially about grant etc
Usual good music from roy croppie
Looking like a warm 38 down under
No good for irish man.
Havent saw corkcelt on here for a while unless i missed his posts.
Hope all is well.
TTT –
Howzitgaun my guid pal?

Lycru!!!!!
Doing well thanks Loon! Good to hear from ye. The wee 2 are 5 this Sunday so going to be menatl in ours then. Elsa and Anna are making an appearance to wish them Happy Birthday apparently and to play games and have millions of photos taken with them and their wee pals. Madness probably wont get near to covering it :-)
Hope you and V are doing well.
Need to get a beer and hopefully a round – thats the gowf I mean now Curly, not the beers, dont want ye having a heart attack on me ;-) – later this year.
Hows big JC too? Pass on ma regards
Are the 2 of you coming down for CQN11?
HAIL! HAIL!
Token
Five? Oh ma heid, doesn’t time fly. Vicki and me are married 5 years past, she still hasn’t found me out . . . . . .
On JC, he won’t be down for CQN11 cos the Crown Inn, Turra, is going through the final extension at that time, so he will be staying at home driving things forward, boring b’stard that he is!
Will have to get CQN North Open organised this year, been my promise for a while.
I sent e-mail back to Celtfish and winning captain requesting 2 tickets for Lambo’s Front Teeth and lil’ ol’ moi for CQN11. Hoping to get tickets for moi, JC and Curly Junior Junior for the gowf! Will have to chum up the committee for that!

Corkcelt is on a CQN Sabbatical. Hopefully short term.
The Truth is unbeatable.
Clury,
och its a bit late for V to find you out now loon.
Even if she did, shes too nice to ditch ye anyway ;-)
Sounds like JC got his hands full so can understand him not coming down. Im sure 2 tix will find their way into your and LambosFT hands. Been a while since he posted now but he must have been one of the originals along with you! met LFT at the gowf a few years back, but not seen him since.
As for the gowf Curly Jnr Jnr?? Deary me, hope hes the sensible one if its you and JC coming down again :-) Hope to make his acquanitance!
CQN North Open is still on my hitlist, so if it happens gimme a shout!
Anyhoo, Im going to finish this last beer then hit ma scratcher.
All the best to you mate.
