Celtic have been linked with a whole barrage of players over the last 24 hours, strongly linked in some instances. While it is more fun to drool over players coming in than fret as existing players leave the club, I’m very sure that some of the reports floating around right now are the product of wishful thinking on the part of agents trying to place their players with a top European club.
For each player you read about, two others will be under consideration, and remember the golden rule, if players or agents are talking publicly, they are not talking to Celtic. It’s easy to generate screeds of column inches for you, or your client, with a few well-chosen phrases.
Ukio Bankas statement this morning that current bids for the assets of Hearts which they hold security over, specifically Tynecastle Stadium, scene of Scotland’s most famous non-assault, do not meet their valuation presents real challenge to the club. Hearts are a club capable of generating in the region of £10m. Operating the club on a budget this size will be difficult, raising enough cash to satisfy Ukio Bankas might be impossible.
Unlike the situation last year with Rangers, when Craig Whyte secured an irrevocable undertaking upon liquidation to transfer Ibrox Stadium to Sevco 5088 Ltd, Ukio Bankas liquidators are unlikely to reject a CVA but accept a lower bid for Tynecastle. Without a stadium, a Newco is unlikely. The best Hearts fans could be faced with is going “Cap in hand”, as they sing down Easter Road, to Hibs, with a request for Newco to ground-share.
Wallace Mercer was ahead of his time. Flats, flats……….

*I brought a plaque from a CSC across the Atlantic congratulating them on their new club, didnae even get a free drink.
Lots of Irish settled in Dumbarton, Renton and the Vale due tae the minerals in the Leven which was important for the dye works. Bet you didnae know that EDB

If its Shane Lowry then ne’s the guy with the lighter hair in the picture.

Using the DBBIA’S stat formula Shane Lowry is 6ft 1.987698 inches tall that guy looks to weee :)
Looks Dutch – because he’s wearing jeans.

Yeh, but Lowry was always playing around with perspective.
SSB lasted 8 mins, same pooh

Course I knew it:o)
Been walking up the side of the Leven quite a few times recently from Bonhill bridge to Balloch. An enjoyable walk and the Leven is tidy for the most part boat wise.
Absolute 80s for me
He doesn’t look so tall because he’s wearing Jellied ‘eels.
Hat, coat etc.
Jim W(S)hite is sporting some set of gnashers
Six slice of square sausage ….
Just when one thought he couldn’t get any more ridiculous
16 roads-not wanting to go over old ground but not getting replacements for VW and Hooper for pre-season,is IMO a lack of forward thinking.
Super scoreboard 1st caller “l am a seadon ticket holder at Celtic Park, they have sold wanyama they have sold Hooper, they are no bringing in players of the same quality” Too many theys for my liking. ..super scoreboard switched off.
When 1 Cell Dalziel is talking sense and is the voice of reason then its time to switch off. So called Celtic ST holder, aye right, written off Boeriggter already and slagging team off. Keevins loving it and joining in.
BBQ.. Nibbles we’re changing our style

Station Bar McCafferty’s always made me laugh. Had a sign up no colours but with two Celtic buses leaving on a Saturday the pub was full of green.
Funny when whoever was playing Dumbarton wandered in and was told no colours.
In work, the radio’s on snyde, first 2 call………….o deary deary me.
1st a plant, 2nd throwin out threats, they really are hurtin.
O Ned Flanders still a fanny.

SSB is probably going to suffer a ‘betthatwan’sJack!’ Backlash. Not before time!
