Not with Celtic. but with Club Brugge.
Apparently though, this means he will be joining Celtic.
Adelaide United eighteen year old sensation Riley McGree, who sounds like he should be out wrestling crocodiles and biting the heads off snakes , has had a medical at Brugge.
However, his manager at Adelaide , Greg Griffin, isn’t happy with the Belgian club.
“It’s a breach of contract. Riley is a teenager and we’re taking this to FIFA. We have not consented in any shape or form to him having a medical.
“We are simply not signing transfer papers because we have already rejected two offers from the club. We have not agreed to anything to sign the transfer. My issue is with Club Brugge.
“I have told Club Brugge twice after two offers to go away and perhaps because they’re not getting what they want they’ve gone behind our back.
It’s interesting because the only other club he’s been linked with a move to is Celtic.
And I can;t be arsed with the Scotland England game, which with any luck will be the subject of a late player boycott led by Scott Brown.
You know by now my feelings on the SFA, and despite the promise of a day on the beer in Stafford to watch the game, I reckon I’ll stay home and take the dogs out.
We mentioned a possible move for Fabian Delph of Manchester City a while back, and the Scotsman Rumour Mill, a pisspoor offshoot of our own legendary if imaginative Rumour Mill, has caught up with the story…
Celtic are keen to sign Fabian Delph from Manchester City. It is understood Guardiola is now ready to listen to offers for the midfielder who played the last two games in the Premier League performed well. However, with Newcastle and other clubs reportedly interested it could take a significant bid to lure him away from City. (Various)
Mind you, if you think our rumour mill was inventive, have a chuckle at this from the same page..
After rejecting a bid of around £700,000 it has been reported that Rangers will make a second bid for Norwich midfielder, Graham Dorrans in the next 48 hours, believed to be around £1.2million. It is believed that Norwich are willing to move Dorrans on to reduce the wage bill. The deal could push spending this summer to over £10 million for the Ibrox side. (The Sun)
They’ve spent ten million pounds ?
Burton Albion defender Ryan Delaney has been mentioned by the Irish Independent as attracting the interest of Celtic. He’s doing very well on loan with Cork and has scored five goals in seventeen games.
And he’s out of contract.
Come to think of it, so is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but he’s going to be injured until at least christmas so don’t get his name on the back of your new top.
At ten bob a letter its a lot to waste.
Another veteran on the move is Wayne Rooney, but he moves quite slowly these days and wouldn;t make it to glasgow in time for the qualifiers, and anyway, Brendan is building a team, not patching one up.
However, the next man in could be from just along the Mersey, as Rodgers is keen to get Joe Gomez of Liverpool on loan, with a view to keeping him, a move known in the trade as a “Paddy “.
As opposed to a “Moussa” , which is when we sign a player for peanuts and sell them on for a massive profit.
We will try to avoid dong a “Derk ” , which is when we offer to take on the medical bills of a player for an unspecified and lengthy period, whilst providing him with a mobile phone so he can tweet all his pals and moan about being “stuck at Celtic ”
What we have at the moment that should make us count our blessings is a “Tam ” …
Over on the other side of the world they need a new hero, to sell the game to the locals. australian football sin’t violent enough for the Aussies, and as their attention tends to waver when no one is bleeding or undergoing CPR, then they need something else to keep them going to games.
In “The Age “, Michael Cockerill explains who that man should be…
Rogic ticks all the boxes to become the next Socceroos star. He had a taste of stardom as a teenager when he won the Nike talent quest, and didn’t particularly enjoy it. But time has moved on, he’s become more accustomed to the limelight since emerging at Celtic, and the word is he’s matured as much as a person as a footballer. Soon to marry his childhood sweetheart, Rogic is poised to hit the big time at a stage of his life and career when he’s better equipped to handle the pressure.
The Socceroos need a new Harry Kewell, or Tim Cahill, or Mark Viduka. Badly. Much as Postecoglou is an outstanding public presence, he’s not a player. Rogic is, and an exceptional one at that. The man to get the turnstiles moving again? Why not?
Thats right, just when its all going well, go and get married.
Back to our glorious leader, he’s only gone and got bloody married , hasn’t he ?
If he’s going to go out and act this recklessly every time he gets a couple of days off then someone needs to sit down and have a word with him…
Anyhoo, congratulations….
We wish you all the best.
Reminds me of when I met my wife, I went all dizzy, bit weak at the knees, strange feeling in my tummy…
I’d only gone and put the Rhohypnal in the wrong fucking drink.
Sometimes something catches your eye and you just want to know the story behind it…
Congratulations to the absolute helmet who never said boo all night , then when you leave the pub he is Lanark’s answer to Rambo…
Former Celtic keeper and all round good guy Rab Douglas obviously having fun on a night out in Lanark, which is an achievement in itself…

“I’ve not been compromised by this deal. Meet my new Northern Ireland secretary, the Rt. Hon. Cunty McTaigstrangler.”
Already the marketing men have swung into action to make this somewhat terrifying new government seem a little more palatable..
Prime minister May is in bother, even her close friends are beginning to distance themselves from the car crash she has become..
Yet you’d have thought that old Brenda would have liked the DUP, as they seem to like her after all.
Amongst other somewhat antiquated views..
How on earth can any country move forward when the leaders are moving at a different pace ?
And could we see an end to peace in the old country ?
From the Guardian live feed yesterday…
Believe it or not. the LOL on that sash isn’t photoshopped, but then again there’s nothing to laugh about.
Not these days.
We need a hero, even if its a cartoon type of hero.
Word is that our friends at Ibrox are going to have a new hero, and are even in negotiations with Marvel to create one who the fans can identify with. One who they can look at and see themselves in him.
They need a hero that flies !
Ah, wait, thats “with flies “
