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.

Failed, again

I agree 100% with your opinion on that. Free speech certainly carries the responsibility to use it properly.
As does the right to be offended by it.
The problem is that while we certainly cannot have a free-for-all on free speech,neither can we have it on the right to be offended.
Sadly,we do. And have done for quite some time now. We see it on here,the easily offended,canny say that brigade.
Here,it is harmless. When people like that are given a public voice,it becomes strident,we give in to shut them up,it becomes the norm.
Then a law is passed.
I know when I have crossed the line,it’s when I apologise. Most people are the same. But we should not be struck to silence because someone disagrees with our opinions.
By doing so,they are not preventing offence,they are denying free speech.
Blizzard in EK….
thomthethim/ Mutiononbeams WD,
The Scots blasphemy law was repealed too. Don’t think there had been a prosecution here in about 100 years anyway.
Blasphemy laws are basically incompatible with the notion of free speech. Religions shouldn’t have any special protection in law – their ideas should be as open to question, challenge and ridicule as political or any others beliefs.
I would also argue that the notion of blasphemy is incomparable with freedom of religion – beliefs often contradict each other and so expressing belief in one religion could be blasphemous to followers of another.
A non football related post..
I just got a bill in from BT for £95, I just have a landline and Internet with them, they said I had went over my internet usage, I was on the understanding it was unlimited…robbing bassas.
With my sky coming in at £105 I decided to phone Virgin.
I’m quids in now, I dropped the movie channel and will just have 3 boxes…£82.49, plus a fiver off my bhoys mobile phone bill.
Something fishy going on at ipox tonight , nothing new. their has been fishy going on at that dump for over 140 years.
As for GMS why won,t pirate pete sanction the paltry amount the arabs wan,t,seem like gms is part of next seasons downsizing, no fee cheap wages all part of preserving pete,s bonus.As for Forrest leaving unless his contract is about to expire(then we should be getting a new one ready),he has to stay,far better player than GMS,

Considering that United were asked to pay £200 k for an out of contract youth player from Sevco, it isn’t surprising that they feel that something similar is the least they could expect for GMS.
iiiiits bucky time.
Apparently, instead of The Sash, the huns tonight are going to sing Salmon Enchanted Evening…

Pathetic cretin ……I trust that vile post will be deleted, Paul67, since children come onto CQN
BMcuwp, MWD, Gordon, et al,
I think it boils down to the concept of respect.
Questioning one’s and perhaps others beliefs, if it any of our business, is, I think acceptable.
Ridicule, apart from Sevco, is not.
It can be construed as a form of bullying, as has been witnessed on here.
anyway, sorry to go off topic.
Embody having fish for tea tonight?
Or is that a Kafflik, thing? : > )

It was good craic on the blog today as well…
