I don’t know if he’s just very good at aggregating content from actual reputable sources and passing them off as his scoops, or if he’s got his ear to the ground and has genuine contacts. Either way, he seems to be fairly accurate on the whole. That said, he’s obviously a complete weirdo at the same time.

Few journos coming out and saying they expect Scales to be done in next few days. Would have thought he’d stick it out with Shams until after the second leg?
Sure the second legs only a week away. Might be officially announced hes signing for after that game
I’d imagine it’s only official when the contract is signed and registration papers sent and there’s always the risk of injuries etc so wouldn’t expect any premature announcement.
The Sun saying we haven’t agreed a fee for Giakoumakis yet.
Cracking finish here

Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it has reached agreement with Legia Warsaw for the transfer of Croatian defender Josip Juranovic, subject to the satisfaction of usual conditions and international clearance. On satisfaction and gaining clearance, Josip will sign on a five-year deal.
As well as playing with Legia Warsaw, Josip also played for a number of seasons with Hajduk Split in Croatia.
He will be the eighth new signing to join our first team squad in the current window, following Osaze Urhoghide, Liam Shaw, Liel Abada, Joe Hart, James McCarthy, Carl Starfelt and Kyogo Furuhashi.
Josip is due to join up with his new team-mates at Celtic early in the coming week.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou said: “We are absolutely delighted to be bringing Josip to the Club and we are sure he will be a great addition to the squad.
“As I have said before, everyone at the club has been working hard to add to our squad and we have made good progress. I am really pleased to bring Josip in to support the rest of the boys.
“We have so many challenges ahead of us and Josip will add important quality and depth. I am really looking forward to working with him.”

Interesting that we are signing players on long term contracts.
Abada and Juranovic on 5 year deals, Kyogo, Starfelt and McCarthy on 4 year deals and Hart on a 3 year deal.

Yeah they’re all big commitments. But I prefer it to the 3 +1 deals we were doing before. If you’re going to commit a decent transfer fee or contract for a decent player we may as well commit to it.
Yeah. I think it’s a good sign.
Overall I’m happy that at the very least we haven’t plugged any gaps this window with loan players and seem to making long term commitments to the club.
Ange was hinting that he may go to Japan for some recruits in the January window which will be interesting to see if there are any other talents there. He did say Kyogo was the standout talent by far in the J League.
Johnston expected back after the international break, Dembele out long term.

Yeah looks like we’ll be looking for J League imports to come in January. It’s great to be looking beyond League 1 for signings.

It’s a yes from me
I assumed that was just speculation but it seemed to get a “no comment” from Ange before the match which is promising.

I don’t rate Nisbet. No for me.
I’d take Doig off them though
He’s surely better than that pervert and worth a swap
The improvement in the players is so stark it shows just how truly desperately awful a manager Lennon was, and how utterly stupid it was to reappoint him.

Griffiths was a very good player at times.
