    Im sure i put this earlier in the chat, heard rumours that he was on his way to Huns and then we offered him a contract which led to huns resigning McGregor after his farewell

    He probably does but I think that what he said about the pitches is accurate.

    A no mark that is in a huff.

    Compare and contrast to the likes of Cal, Jamesy, CCV amd big Joe. Humble good guys, achieved a lot, adored and respected.

    He won't be missed.

    Apparently, he's given permission to fly to Romania for talks with Rapid Bucuresti. Lenny is their manager.

    Celtic's Benjy Siegrist has opened talks over a move to Neil Lennon’s Rapid Bucharest.

    The big keeper has been given permission by Celtic to travel to Romania to see if a permanent deal can be finalised. The 32-year-old has made it clear that he wants to leave the Hoops to get his career back on track. Celtic knew his situation, hence, the reason they have signed Kasper Schmeichel and Finnish keeper Viljami Sinisalo from Aston Villa, after Joe Hart also announced his intention to retire this summer.


    The Swiss-born star joined Celtic from Dundee United in 2022 but has struggled for regular game time. Siegrist has been looking for a way out over the last couple of windows. He had interest from Scotland and Europe this summer but nothing that has convinced him to leave Celtic Park. Now he has been offered the chance to get going again under Lennon. The ex-Celtic boss decided to relaunch his own career in Romania with the fallen giants in the summer.

    I'm not in favour of keeping him but is this actually the case? I always just figured he wasn't able to make the jump ahead of Bain who is of a similar quality.

    Almost seemed disinterested in a Celtic career, JH seemed to like him so will assume that means something. Maybe just not good enough, best he leaves

    Aye it was seemingly (we could easily be wrong) that he was lobe struck and not happy here any more. Assumptions being he wanted to be in AussieLand with his lady friend.

    Turns out the other week he done an interview with someone and admitted she would come to Europe as her influencer work can be done anywhere at all.

    Weird how she didn't move to Scotland for him though.

    Which makes you question his motivation while at Celtic, or her relationship with him isn't gonna be as strong as they expect.

    Get him out the door, another that was glad to take a wage without contributing to the team, hopefully more of the deadwood can be moved out.
