Keith Jackson with Good News for Once - Bigot Lafferty goes To Linfield

 

Keith Jackson's Sources say Ange is Staying

Someone at Celtic has been telling Keith Jackson that Ange Postecoglou will not be leaving Celtic. I'm happy if that is the case but slightly concerned that someone like Jackson has "sources" at our club. He reported in his Daily Record Column....

"Bullish Celtic top brass remain confident Ange Postecoglou will not leave them in the lurch for Leeds United despite mounting speculation that the Aussie’s name has made it onto an Elland Road shortlist.

Postecoglou has been linked with a possible move to the Premier League strugglers ever since the trigger was pulled on American Jesse Marsch in the aftermath of Sunday’s defeat at Nottingham Forest. And the interest appears to have intensified over the last 24 hours.

Reports from Yorkshire named Postecoglou as one of three bosses, currently in employment elsewhere, who are under serious consideration for the post, and West Brom’s Carlos Corberan was another. But news that he has signed a new deal at West Brom appear to have put that to bed.

Rayo Vallecano head coach Andoni Iraola – of who like Corberan worked with former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa – is the other name in the frame. But the relegation-threatened top flight outfit also see similarities between the management styles of Bielsa and Postecoglou – with the Celtic boss believed to fit perfectly with their desired profile for the job.

Sources at the club insist the interview process got up and running after Marsch’s sacking on Monday, with further discussions held on Tuesday. But Record Sport understands that, as of late Tuesday afternoon, Celtic had received no contact from the Leeds board asking for permission to open talks with Postecoglou.

Furthermore, chief executive Michael Nicholson and chairman Peter Lawwell believe the 57-year-old is happy, motivated and completely committed to leading his side towards a second successive Premiership title, despite any potential interest from across the border"

Keith Jackson has always been a fan of Peter Lawwell for some reason so I wonder....?

Unemployed Bigot Kyle Lafferty Signs for Linfield

Lafferty's last game didn't go too well, a great assist for a team he would refer to as "Fenian Bastards" and then substituted at half time. He will be right at home with a team like Linfield but at least Scotland won't have to deal with him any longer.

We are delighted to announce the signing of Kyle Lafferty until the end of the season 🔵💪#COYB #AFJ pic.twitter.com/UPz9aOYb9x
