Enjoyed some of his performances over the 7 years alright  , but he should have done the decent thing by Celtic last year when Sunderland offered him first team action, we could also have made a pound or two, instead of nothing!

Young Aidaniho signs for 5 years, excellent news, great young player who is getting better and better - still only 22.

McGeady agrees new Celtic terms 

Celtic midfielder Aiden McGeady has signed a five-year contract with the Scottish champions.

The new deal improves on the four-and-a-half-year extension agreed with the 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international in February 2007.

In April, McGeady was voted both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by his fellow professionals.

"We are delighted that he has committed his long-term future to the club," said chief executive Peter Lawwell.

"Aiden's performances in recent seasons have made him the outstanding player in Scottish football," Lawwell continued on the club website.

"Our priority has always been to try and keep our best players.

"It is particularly satisfying that Aiden has become such a success having come through the ranks of our youth development programme."

Great news! the wee man's a star, with his best years all ahead of him.

After loosing Shaun Moloney so easily it is good top see Aidan signing on for a long tern deal. Perhaps he sees regular champions league football and wining trophies as being more important than upping his not inconsiderable wages. Good to see a footballer with a bit of sense.

Really thought McGeady would go, but he is probably doing the right thing all round.

Ticket secured for Flag day on August 10th, right on halfway line to complement the cheap easyjet flight I booked when the fixtures were announced

watched the southampton game the other night. young caddis did well when he came on and looks a good prospect. celtic are spoilt for choice at right back yet really only have naylor at left back.

Tony, are ye putting Celtic ahead of your beloved Armagh?

[T Fearon]

Yes, well spotted. There is a potential clash on August 10th, between Flag day and the AI Football Quarter Final which may or may not involve Armagh. However the ideal scenario will be that Armagh will qualify for the quarter final and that this will be played on Saturday August 9th.

Failing that I will be in Glasgow on August 10 whatever. I have seen Armagh in plenty of AI Quarter Finals before but I have never been at Celtic Park on flag day

What with Armagh's recent record in AI Quarter finals I wouldn't blame ye for headin to Glasgow!

Celtic v Middlesborough in the Algarve cup, about to kick-off live on Setanta sports one.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

First half just ended, poor enough game so far.
McGeady outstanding as usual, Brown in nets has made a couple of saves, Scott Brown very quiet and disappointed with Samaras and Skippy up front, Samaras wasted a couple of decent chances.

I see Mossie Gravesen and Derek Riordan are playing against Donegal Celtic in Belfast tonight and presumably in Newry on Saturday as well. Will be worth going along to see these two and catch a glimpse of the legendary Daniel Fergus Mc Grain on the sideline
