On the Tic! Think they might wait till tomorrow to show him off to the press as they'll probably want him in the new kit, which is launched tonight.

 

They cant unveil him tomorrow, cos he's with the Danish squad.

What a signing though! I wasn't to optimistic about this year a couple of months ago, but with the 3 signings in the last few days that we've made, i'm more confident.

Well dont to WGS and Peter Lawwell

 

Right, who's got any ideas for songs?

 

Tommy's gonna get ya!!!!

 

Brilliant news, now on Sky Sports News.

 

Gravesen is quality good signing as most will agree

 

There's only one Tommy Gravesen,

There's only one Tommy Gravesen,

He's got no hair, but we don't care,

Walking in a Gravesen wonderland.

HMMMMM............sounds familiar.

 

mordor has collapsed... rolf ....biscuit tin blues...

Giruy.

 

fantastic signing .... with stan away his experience will be invaluable and he gives us much more steel in the middle of the park

mad dogs a tim!!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeesssssssssss!!!!!!

 

I`m REALLY happy about this. When Maloney comes back we should have no real problems retaining the league. Hopefull doing well in CL.

Would still like to see a quality centre half though.

 

You have to give credit to Peter Lawell, once again showing he is now the PR (Don - maybe) king in Scotland.

Although its sad to see Petrov leave, the Lawman has managed to avoid all the negative headlines which would have been in tomorrows papers by murrays laptop loyal by signing an experinenced international from one of the worlds top clubs.

Hopefully this wont be the last signing, i would also like ti see a CB and Kevin Thompson in the hoops before the deadline.

Also, does anyone remember when jan kronkamp signed for liverpool he said that he grew up supporting celtic, im going search fot the article and i'll post if i find it.

How can they say it`s an undisclosed fee when Celtic is a PLC? Surely they have to say how much they spend. On everything.
