The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Anyone know anything about this young fella?


Spaniard linked to Celtic
Published: 08/05/2009
Xabi Castillo has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Celtic.

The Real Sociedad left-back, 23, is out of contract at the end of the season and is keen to move overseas, but because he is under 24, a Spanish club would have to pay £2million to secure his services.

"I have interest from Italy, from Bolton in England and Greece," Castillo said in the Daily Mail. "But what I want most of all is a proposal from Celtic."

He added: "I wanted to make some money for Real before I left but, in football, things do not always work out as you like."

Read Jim Mc Lean (ex legendary Dundee Utd manager) on BBC Scotland website. He fancies the bhoys but said if he was Walt he would pick Mc Coist ahead of Vesaluikas (or whatever he's called) as on the assumption that Boyd is a certain starter,Rangers cannot afford to have "two traffic cones" up forward, 

local bookies have Huns at 7/5 with Celtic at 2/1

Here's my team 442.
Mc Geady
Hartley
Flood
Nakamura

Looks a very lightweight midfield, in a game which Celtic go in with an advantage.
You need somebody to muck about midfield to get the ball for the players with ability.
I presume Flood is a McGeady lite.

I suppose the chronic gambling and drink goes hand in hand.
