Eternally negative Ewan Murray has claimed the fact Celtic have signed a lad known to them before Ange Postecoglou came in a a short red flag.
The journalist was quick to pick up on an Ange Postecoglou quote which ultimately declared Ange had spoken with Osaze Urhoghide before he was signed by the club.
Postecoglou on Urhoghide: “He’s someone that the club’s been tracking for a while.” Immediate red flag.

Has he got a point?
Osaze has been known to Celtic for some time and less so to Ange. The deal is a relatively low expenditure with a high upside if the player can develop.
It’s not realistic to believe Ange can come in and start firing out targets he wants into the club. The manager has already said he surrounds himself with people who can help him get his job done.
Right now, Ange will have some idea of the type of players he asked for but not a name – it’s up to the Celtic scouting system to deliver those names.
Murray did go further when a Celtic fan pointed out Moussa Dembele was not a Brendan Rodgers signing.
Rodgers arrived at a club with an experienced CEO and a reasonably functioning recruitment department. Celtic currently have: a new non football CEO, no head of football ops, no sporting director, a manager from overseas and dismal recent recruitment record.

A football CEO? I’m confused by this. A CEO is there to run the non-footballing side of the business and put the “football people” in place.
Peter Lawwell became an unofficial director of football at the club and micromanaged to the extreme – that was the perception.
Celtic have a lot of work to do, no doubt.
Ewan Murray found a way to be negative about Celtic when we were hoovering up trophies so while he’s got an open goal he may as well kick his blow away ball into the back of the net.
Most of the frustration of The Celtic Support was having CEO meddling in on the pitch matters!
We eventually get shot and it’s being used against us!
If Big Ange signs no-one he’s damned and apparently if he does, a defender we’re crying out for, he’s…well, as the old saying goes, damned if you do, damned if you don’t!
Clowns like murray will always find a way to have a pop at Nine In A Row, Quadruple Treble World Record Breaking Celtic, as opposed to 1 trophy in their existence sevco.
It burns so, so deep!
This lad could be great but we’re is Markio vascovic.sorry for the spelling we need new players and a top keeper now.
