I haven&#8217;t had the chance to digest it yet but on the surface its not going to be anywhere near enough. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was away for the weekend, in, er, Nottingham, so was unavailable for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Gary hooper saga is still dragging on. Lennon sighed, and said;<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; There has been a bid in, but negotiations are ongoing. We would still like to keep the player. He will be training tomorrow (sunday ) and will be part of the squad against Cliftonville. I don&#8217;t know if the deal will go through or not. If it doesn&#8217;t, then I&#8217;ll be delighted because we will still have a very good player in the squad. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I&#8217;m being overly optimistic here, but there is the thought that if he wanted to go, he&#8217;d have gone by now. What is he waiting for ?<\/p>\n<p>Celtic also had a game in Cork at the weekend, where a young XI beat the locals 2-0, and an even younger side won the Dennis Law tournament in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n<p>The club seems to be gradually getting back to work, and we can look forward to tomorows game against Cliftonville in a fairly relaxed mood. With a three goal lead and the Parkhead crowd behind the team, it should be a formality.<\/p>\n<p>Then its a tie against Swedish cracks ( copyright Daily Record ) Elfsborg, and on loan Hoops forward Mo Bangura is out for revenge against his parent club. According to chairman Bo Johanssen , at any rate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Celtic loaned him out because they do not believe Mohammed is a good enough player. This gives us extra lighter fluid, we will use this to motivate us. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lighter fluid ? Surely not, with all the rumours about the Sevco bus burning, the last thing Celtic need is for a former striker to be linked with the crime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etims.net\/?attachment_id=3155\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3155\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3155\" alt=\"sutton\" src=\"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sutton.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sutton.jpg 620w, https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sutton-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sutton-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Sevco boss Ally McCoist has spoken publicly, and with his words chosen carefully, the implication is again there that Celtic fans caused the damage to the \u00a3500,000 bus.<\/p>\n<p>Thats the value of the vehicle according to the Sunday Mail, which makes you wonder why they left it unattended in a garage.
