ANGE POSTECOGLOU has today confirmed Celtic will NOT be signing Riley McGree after the player looked all set to join the Hoops.
The attacking midfielder is heading to Middlesbrough after the English club placed a late big with much better terms than Celtic offered.
It’s a blow to Ange’s transfer plans but we need players who are all in with the manager and what he’s trying to do.
Football is a fleeting career and we understand cash is king for a lot of players.
You do get players who will bet on themselves, come to Celtic, learn, win things and then go make serious money down south.
You have others who want the money upfront and while we as Celtic fans can’t quite wrap our heads around this at times – it’s just part of football.
The manager also delivered an update on Jota’s permanent transfer claiming there was nothing significant to talk about but things were going on in the background.
