The Un-Rumour-Rumour-Mill:

Case For Defence

After Paul Hartley's departure to the mighty Bristol City, as not predicted in the last Un-Rumour-Rumour-Mill, the scramble has begun for Celtic to make a sensational swoop to fill Hartley's role on the bench.

The Nancy Website and BTM himself has stated that a one-season loan deal is on the cards for the Cameroon Lion, Landry N'Guemo after Celtic proved themselves to be tasses de bonne qualité by paying a Kings Ransom for Marc-Antoine Fortune.

But others are still being 'linked'.

Ljubomir Fejsa, a 20 year old Serbian who last season joined FK Partizan was first up to be linked. More believable is the lazy link to Mowbrays form midfield lynchpin Guillaume Beuzelin who has left Coventry after failing to agree terms. Talks are muted for the next few days.


Left Back Please.

With Xabi Castillo looking like first choice for The Hoops a back up plan is in place should he decide to stay in Spain. The player ticking all the wrong boxes is Franco Miranda who has proved a bit too rich for St Mirren.

Championship Quality

In a piece of anti-Celtic-diatribe the other day, Britney Spears, mentioned a Championship player being persuaded to swap the delights of Preston for the delights of Paisley.

Derby's Kris Commons was the player who those WAGS at SPECTRE SPORTS pinned their hopes on. Paul Robinson is where the smart money is at but those of us who like longer odds are intrigued at the going ons' at Swansea.

Jermaine Beckford is still at Leeds.

No Sand In Eastlands

Felipe Caincedo states that he wants to play Champion League qualifiers in Hoops but Ched Evans has John Parks finger prints all over his stats. The friendly with Abu Dhabi FC is being seen as a pointer to a 'done deal' for an unwanted reserve.

Viva Espana

Celtic are in advanced talks with an attacking- based in Spain- player who is not Fernando Marques. He is marquee but not Marquez and is a good son. They hope the deal will be done by the time the club return from Oz.

Bhoys Down Under

Celtic were pleased to confirm that the bombscare at Edinburgh Airport was not  Lee Naylor being lost coming back his holidays.

Some players have been taking a little bit of time to get used to BTM's new training regime. The fact that the ball is being used has confused the majority of them.

Robson, Sheridan and Hutchison have not travelled to Oz, one is injured and will the other two be looking at loan deals for the up-coming festivities?

McCourt, Killen and Maloney to feature against Brisbane Roar.
