With yesterday evening’s announcement that James Tavernier had signed a new deal at Rangers, it took probably all of ten seconds for Celtic fans to start responding.
With little transfer news of their own over the summer – then again I don’t actually pay attention, they may have had loads that I just missed – it seems that some were groping for a deal or two to happen so they could impart their wisdom.
Wisdom probably isn’t the best choice of words really?
He's here to see 10

My calendar says September and already James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos have signed two contracts at Sevco, suggests that their agents didn't do a very good job with the first deals.

Personally, I like that last one in particular.
It shows a great understanding of how the game works given every single reported offer received from English Championship side West Bromwich Albion was rejected flat out. No offers to negotiate, no nothing and within 18 days of the summer transfer window closing until January, we’ve extended his contract and terms to give us greater power when it comes to rejecting any further offers that might follow in the New Year.
That’s textbook ‘tried to sell you’ isn’t it.
Brightened up an otherwise dull Wednesday for me at any rate.
