Team Tonight

Bangura is great. You all just don't understand the uniqueness of him. He makes missing chances look good.

Good one Andy

When you sign players (especially in our price bracket) you tend to win some, lose some.

For roughly the same cost Hooper was a win, but Banger is a lose. If he gets some game time and we get our money back, then fine. If not, we'll just have to put up with him for the rest of his contract.

Miku is ten times the player.

Udinese at CP...he looked the part.

Then he got injured and injured and injured.

6 months to save his Celtic career or...60 mins tonight

You reckon Lennon thought he was signing Michu when Miku joined?

Henrik

Agreed, but Miku is not good enough quality either. Glad Watt is getting a start tonight, but Miku and Banger can both harm his development if they get a game ahead of him.

Show them both the door.

TOM ROGIC is set to become a Celtic player after Central Coast Mariners agreed to terms with the Scottish Premier League champions to sell one of the hottest properties in Australian football.

The Mariners struck a deal with Celtic believed to be worth nearly $700,000 and are expecting the formal offer to arrive by Wednesday morning. Once received, Rogic will be free to negotiate personal terms and sign with the Scottish champions.

The 20-year-old Socceroo impressed Celtic coach Neil Lennon while training with the club for the past week at their camp in Spain.

Lennon requested permission to field Rogic in a trial match against Romanian club Steaua Bucharest, and although Rogic was not available, it is understood he will travel to Glasgow to finalise the move.

Advertisement ''He won't be playing against Steaua Bucharest but they've asked him to come back to Glasgow,'' Mariners director of football Lawrie McKinna said. ''They're over the moon and they're happy with how he's been doing, and if it [the transfer offer] comes in, we'll let him go to Glasgow.''

English Premier League club Queens Park Rangers are set to submit an 11th-hour bid to try to snatch Rogic from Celtic's grasp. QPR have negotiated a deal with the Mariners and will also table their offer by Wednesday morning. However, Fairfax Media understands Rogic is happy with how he has been received and welcomed by the Celtic coach and playing staff, and expects to be wearing the famous green and white hoops before the end of this month's transfer window.
