Ten Caat

Was actually discussed on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard on both Sat and Sun. Hypothetical question, who is better, Miovski or Shankland and should the arse cheeks try to sign one or other of them. All the pundits agreed that Miovski is the better player all round and that Celtic should try to sign him. Cunts all thought we'd accept about £3m for him though.

Wasn't expecting him to take a penalty in the first 5 (although with Miovski, Duk, Clarkson and Barron all subbed off I suppose you'd say who else might volunteer to step up). It was certainly a better struck penalty than MacDonald's which Hart should have saved. As others have said, the Roos injury delay fiasco could only have served to make a youngster even more nervous. As for his future? My suspicion is that long term he probably won't make it with us. However what he does need next season is to play week in, week out. He won't get that with us barring a shitload of injuries so it'd be better shipping him out to a Championship side on loan for the full season. Might also toughen him up a bit.

He'd at least be worth a try at it, assuming that Miovski is sold. Our season starts early enough that we'd be able to give him a decent run at it, starting with relatively weak opposition in the League Cup groups and then he'd have a few weeks against SPL opposition to make a judgement if he's good enough or whether we need to splash out some of the cash on a new first choice late on in the transfer window.

Charlton match is my only concern given how many draws they've had this season. But Wrexham and Mansfield look dead certs so I'll give it a go 7.61/1 with the ladbrokes boost. Tenner down

So getting on from the bench doesnt count? it was 24 league matches, the rest in cups. This was about us signing players from ECL/EFL1 who couldn't get playing time (ie not even making the bench) at the club they are at. As Ramsay can't do now

The parameter was "couldn't get into the team". The season only had about 8 weeks to go when he signed for them and he played 6 times...supposedly to replace the injured Mike Newell but some say it was really to weaken Swindon who were promotion rivals to Blackburn.

Signed for Blackburn in March 92. Played 6 times for them and joined us in the summer.

When were Celtic playing in the English Championship or EFL1?

Aye that one I'll give you

Played 33 times for Oldham in the 6 months he was with them for before joining us Played 18 times for Sheffield United in the 4 months or so he was with them after signing a short term deal Played 19 times for Brentford between August to late January before joining us on loan, admittedly he was dropped for 7 weeks in that period but was back getting game time after this

We did? Can you name me one?

Jings, crivvens, help ma boab

Goalkeepers I think are more of a special case. But the reason I don't want us going anywhere near Ramsay is because he hasn't been able to prove himself capable of being an effective player anywhere after his well documented injury problems. Just because he's a local loon who has played well for us in the past isn't a reason for us to be a rehabilitation centre for him. Ideally we will sign an upgrade on Devlin this summer but not an experimental one. If we announced that we were signing another player from Bolton who couldn't make their matchday squad on a regular basis I think most of here would be thinking "What the fuck????". We signed Morris from an EFL1 club (for not insignificant money).....he could barely get off the Fleetwood bench. Look how that turned out. I really do hope Ramsay can get himself fully fit and back to the player he once was prior to leaving us but I'd like him to do it elsewhere and if that upsets some folk on here I can live with it. If...and only if.....he manages to do that would I want him back

Maybe so but I think they'd be looking for a loan fee off of us.......bearing in mind they've given us £4m for him and essentially had zero return on it......that they might not ask off of the likes of St J or 'Well. But again I ask the question. Why would we want a player that cannot even get himself a place on Bolton's bench?

I think this is the quote that MT and I are referring to. On first reading it seems innocent enough but read into it fully, the bit about "I have got to look for players who I feel can help"....and what followed around a week or so later when Liverpool recalled him halfway through his season's loan. A recall that plenty of Preston supporters were predicting on their supporter sites as they said that it was clear Lowe wasn't going to be playing him any time soon. Dec 30, 2023 #200 Lowe said: ‘He (Ramsay) is available. He's just out of the squad at the moment, because he had Covid. He's fit and training every day, but I have got to look for players who I feel can help - coming off the bench.
