Aye, sure, Dick Advocaat would like to sign Virgil van Dijk for Sunderland. Of course he would, but Virgil is very unlikely to go to Sunderland for a host of reasons. Many clubs have made inquiries about Virgil but the player has an understanding with the club.
For a start, he’s going nowhere until after the Champions League qualifiers are over with, and even then, player and club have agreed that only approaches from tier-one clubs will be considered. No disrespect intended for Sunderland, but a haul of one cup in 79 years leaves them well off the pace.
The prospect of Celtic being interested in Steven Fletcher, as reported in The Herald this morning, is unlikely to make any difference. If Fletcher is wanted it will be for the qualifiers, there will be no quid pro quo.
Virgil has two years left on his contract and there’s little prospect of him extending his stay in Scotland, so if Celtic decide to listen to offers in late August it’ll do no harm having as many English clubs as possible bidding portions of their TV bounty for the player. So let Sunderland bid away.
You and I have been working on the whole Mary’s Meals project for a couple of years now. It’s not a big part of any of our lives, but what we’ve done is a big part in the lives of thousands of kids we’ll never know.
Reaching the 1 million kids fed each day figure last month has reinvigorated the charity. It’s a worldwide phenomenon but incredibly started here in Scotland.
At midnight tonight a couple of guys will start to walk the West Highland Way, 96 miles, a 17 thousand feet ascent. They hope to complete the journey within 24 hours.
You and I know that not every journey is completed on time, some, sadly, will never be completed……… but these two are close to hitting their £6k target figure for Mary’s Meals before they set off. Go and give them a a couple of pounds, help drive them on to complete the task. Every £1 you give will feed a child for a month. A month! Tell me you’re going to do something better today and I’ll not believe you.

Good luck to the chaps doing the west highland way,
roughly 2 miles an hour for 24 hours
height of 4 Ben Nevis’s in between
i hope they are well prepared and organised re food stops
good luck
hail hail
=============================================
Surely 4 miles an hour if WHY is 96 miles long!
According to the Met office’s detailed forecast, tomorrow Glasgow has a 90% chance of heavy rain between 10am. and 3pm.
Shame, eh?
I know San Diego Bhoy, a few years back, had an accident, hobbled around for 10 days before going for X rays. When I did go had a broken foot just above the ankle. It was the other ankle, this time it doesn’t seem so bad, I’ll give it till tomorrow and if I’m bothered about it, I’ll go to A&E.
How much do you think our incorruptible SFA are getting paid tonight for validating that bunch of slave-traders??
The ‘Corruption Derby’ tonight!

dena29,

That’s the ticket.
The bones in the ankle are small and delicate, and as the ankles are the only 100% weight bearing joints in the body, not to be taken lightly, as I discovered the hard way.
Keep up with the ice.
Gudetti is only saying what many of us think. We have no competition.
Virgil isn’t as good as some on here think. In Europe, he floundered against a crap Inter.
On the ankle debate as someone who battered his over the years playing basketball to the point where I had to get my left one operated on where they basically had to completley reconstruct all the ligaments on the outside of the ankle, get it checked out. The years of walking around on my knackered ankles has effected my knees and hip, you need a solid base to get around on.

Many moons ago I was a black cab driver in Glasgow and on the day of their “festival” I tried to work but was selective in my fares.
On one occasion I unfortunately picked up a fare a festival hinger oan who asked the inevitable question.
“Ur ye goan tat the rralleee son?”
My response was delivered dead pan and looking straight at her..
“I didnae know there was a bike race on – where is it at?”
No tip, slammed door and big smile from me.
Hope you are well.
Paul67 Very clever advertising by Celtic to up the price for VVD if one of the Champions League sides come knocking. Obviously, if they do then VVD has a decision to make, do I stay or do I go.
If he goes then these clubs can afford an extra €5m to persuade us to release him and we can buy a good defender with the extra money

Celtic play Eibar in a pre-season game at their place on Saturday 18 July.
Nice result for them if they stay up and the tax dodgers go down.

Congratulations JG for refusing to score goals of a lower value than your wealth of talents deserve.
A true virtuous, professional who couldn’t score against the ‘crap’ week in week out.

Guidetti is not saying what I think.
He is just looking for excuses and wants to blame the lack of big games for being out of the international team. In truth, he wasn’t getting a starting place in Ronny’s team once he let it be known that he was off in the summer.
Not playing any first team football did for his international selection.
Not so much the lack of big games – just the lack of any games.
He is a true nomad (as opposed to a Nomad) and will bounce around a different league each season.

Even when he was scoring a few goals in the early part of the season, Guidetti did not strike me as being a natural, eh, striker, for want of a better word.
He did no more and no less than Anthony Stokes and, of the two, I would prefer Stokes, though Anthony’s time has gone, I think.
Catach,
Even if Barca came in for Virgil pre season, I think Ronnie would say ,”no”.
He is our player, even though players can push for a move and our need for the qualifiers is greater than any other clubs’ needs.
RD has shown his strength of purpose by side lining Guidetti once he knew he would not be with us next season.
I believe that Virgil and Celtic know where they stand.
Maybe the £5m should go to the person who came up with the – ahem – “explanation”.
I mean – why would a referee who hadn’t seen ANYTHING happening, ask his assistant what had happened…..???
Til later bhoys

JG scored a few goals, told the manager he wouldn’t be signing a contract and got dropped. No sleep lost, in the Celtic support better player required.
Agree on VVD, – he’ll be retained until the EPL starts in August, after playing in the CL qualifiers.
Doesn’t look like Andys day today.
Early yet.
Up against a great player right enough.
