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.

Haha! I got a Ryanair flight to Germany once. Was actually closer to Holland. Took hours on the bus to get to the advertised city. Vowed never again…!

I got my first season ticket in division 3, and have only missed about five home games, due to work. Can’t take the rangers out me.
How about the “Piss”then?.

Congrats to James Forrest for his Long Spoon article.
A must, must read for all fans of all clubs.
It targets where all the anger and focus should be directed……Hampden.
I contend that the state of the game is bigger than individual club interests, as there is absolutely no pride in our game if we accept the corruption and incompetence of those charged with governing it.
James’ article is what he has been building up to since he first held a crayon.
Well done.

My friend, Shieldmuircelt, has been pointing the finger at Hampden from the outset, even on here …… The truth will always ‘out’.

If this happens, some seen to think there’ll be (2000) leagues (under the Sea) reconstruction.
Too far??
Talked to a few friends Dundee United STs….very disappointed as they GMS is the most natural talent they have had in years..great Bhoy by their account…they wish him gone now and some other youngster to get his chance.
Will GMS sign early and start to play for us in January….”Don’t tell him Pike!”

After conducting one of the strangest and most pointless Google searches of my life, I realised that it was Garry Flitcroft (yeah that plank) who now runs a timber frame house building company, not Steve Guppy…
I expect Paulie imminently…

Cheers SoT – looks like a stopover in London would best suit me
Fly to Malta with Crying Air and then a 90 minute ferry to Pozzallo .Timetable might require a night in Malta Cheapy jet flights to Sicily tend to be early or late .BA costs more but is much less stressful etc.

Good video. Thanks for posting that.
Watching over here, I haven’t seen enough of GMS (usually only when he plays Celtic). If that video is anything to go by, he looks like the sort of player that puts bums in seats, and the sort that Celtic fans usually appreciate. Also, he doesn’t look afraid to take his man on… which is something we have been needing for a while.
JungleJim@14:27
I dont see it as a question of ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ as such. In my opinion, what CQN is supposed to be about, and what all Celtic fans should be about, is the truth…. both good (so that we can appreciate what we have) and the bad (so that we can improve on where we – as a team and as a club – are weak).

As I understand it, some zombears who are upset with Ashley wanting security over Ibrokes came up with the idea of causing him problems by going into his stores, trying on things, but not buying anything. One of them then came up with the idea of causing him grief by sneaking a dead stinky fish into the store and leaving it there to stink up the plaice. .
Two fish in a tank, leader says, you drive and i’ll work the gun.
Whats the young lad connolly who plays for dundee utd like ?
Saw him play last 20mins couple of weeks ago and looks good player.

1. What about the ‘plaice’ bit, eh? I was quite pleased with that one.
2. I am half expecting the Godfather (a poster on RM … I’m not joking … that is his name – did no one tell him those guys are italian-fenian b’s?) to suggest they put a fish head in Ashley’s bed.
Whale oil beef hooked ;))

What did the fish shout when it got trapped in the bus doors?

Off topic, and a little close to the bone perhaps but…
…I see the current edition of Charlie Hebdo is available in English and for sale via high street newsagents.
Is it an offence in Scotland to be in possession of the magazine at a football match?
