The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[nifan]

I see McGinn was singled out for praise after the NI game. Any chance of him seeing the first team squad at all?

He will get a few matches for the first team before Christmas, maybe in the league cup or as a sub against lesser SPL teams, but Mowbray will want his strongest team out for the next few months. I believe McGinn (whilst choosing the wrong International team) has a bright future at Celtic.

If anyone is interested, got a call from a Belfast CFC fella, a few of thte clubs are chartering a flight to London for the 2nd leg against Arsenal, atm it's approx £200 for flights and all transport, match ticket will be extra but guarenteed (pricey I know) if anyone is interested PM me.

None whatever. On the contrary, he received loud encouragement and applause from the North Stand* virtually from the moment he came on.

Quite honestly, if Nigel continues to give him his chance and he continues to take it like he has, I'm sure he'll become a firm fans' favourite, just like eg Sammy "Big Balls" Clingan! 

For myself, I've not seen very much of him and McCourt, but whilst Paddy seems to have greater natural talent, I have a feeling that Niall's determination and drive could see him develop over time into the pick of the two.

* - The North Stand runs along the wing which Niall was playing down.

He was back in town at the weekend seen him outside Hagans bar in the early hours. Sober had the car with him.

I hope they play him against Arsenal on Tues....Would be good for his development chasing after a ball for 90 mins if Cesa et al start pinging it about midfield.....LoL

He will do more running than he ever did in his life if Aresnal get  it right up there....lol

Took of the BBC web site.

Celtic are seeking a new right-back with Andreas Hinkel almost certain to join Hull City in a £1.5m transfer - but after the Champions League tie with Arsenal. (Daily Record)

Hull have put in a £3m offer for Celtic right-back Andreas Hinkel, but the Glasgow club will only let the German go for £4m. (The Sun)

Massive difference in prices there, would take 4 million for him alright.
Lawell has come out and said that there may be more signings!

Starting to get excited about the Aberdeen match later, then off to watch the Reds (hopefully) "do" Coleraine.

Hail Hail

Goal of the season so far.
