Interesting scout reports on both Windass and Crooks. http://lowerleaguescout.com/matt-crooks-scout-report/ http://lowerleaguescout.com/josh-windass-scout-report/

Finally part 1 of the so called geo technical report for westhorn from pzj https://examplewordpresscom7073.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/the-celtic-geotechnical-report/

Every day. You just can't help yourself. Fuck off back to the boredroom section.

Not acceptable. He lied to us!He told us we'd bring in 1 or 2 in January, and here we are a week into January on the verge of securing our third and fourth signings. Am raging!

Exactly.I feel the top flight sides to be a bit stale while we have a young, hungry and talented team who can only go from strength to strength. We hadn't really spent anything yet either so fingers crossed a couple of high standard signings mixed in with what we have (or will have) will see us challenging from the off!

dont trust shoot.the guy they have reporting on Rangers is an absolute boaby.

Yet we're continuously told that we live in a democratic free country. At first I thought it was that bad it was funny but now I'm so angry that nothing is being done about this, even with all the evidence. As someone mentioned in another thread, we as a fan base sit back and hope for the best to happen, it's about time this info is known to all of us, not just a few people on some forums. If the media won't cover it then we need to, start by getting some of the main points on flyers and handing them out at our games. At the very least we could be spreading this info more.

Celtic representatives have been in Brussels as part of a preliminary investigation by the European Commission into land deals between Celtic and Glasgow City Council. The probe relates to question marks over the purchase of various plots of land, including their Lennoxtown training complex, which it has been alleged constitute State Aid. In recent months, the European Commission Directorate General for Competition State Aid has announced several formal investigations into allegations of State Aid involving Spanish and Dutch clubs - including Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSV Eindhoven.

ACCRINGTON Stanley owner Andy Holt has confirmed Rangers are making moves to sign Matt Crooks and Josh Windass . Holt took to Twitter to reveal the Ibrox club have made contact with the pair, who are both out of contract at the end of the season. Holt posted: "I have been informed today that rangers are talking to Josh and Crooksey about a move from end of season. This is unsolicited and is being done under FIFA international." Learn everything you need to know about the pair below. Josh Windass The Accrington midfielder comes from good stock as his dad is former Aberdeen striker Dean Wind

I had this text from a mate tonight who is in the Navy and a Plymouth Argyle ST holder referring to Windass "He had a standing ovation from the Argyle crowd when subbed against us late in the game before Xmas...most unusual for them to recognise and actually appreciate a talented boy "

Mister C hacked your account HR?

A little good will goes a long way.

Outside of Arsenal, who else were these two linked with potentially?

I kinda feel a bit sorry for them too but football is a business these days, a friendly down there would be a nice touch and a nice wee earner for them and a nice trip for us.

2 days ago. We'd need to break the bank for him,nothing wrong with that obv

That wouldn't matter in the slightest. They'd still hate us no matter what.

I know that, but all we are doing is buying good publicity in my mind. You never know, it might make the powers that be look at the rules and perhaps change them - which given our philosophy now would protect us and benefit us in the future. Just a thought.

No debate mate,your dress sense is awful aswell obv.Agree about the trainers right enough. Ps welcome to the greatest club in the world lads!!

They don't know a great deal about football to be fair. They cheer when the ball goes in the oppositions net and boo when it goes in their own, that's about it.

Not too keen on a release clause like that, but otherwise am exicted.

Here's hoping they're a couple of crackers. Nowhere near their peak so hopefully got a few great seasons ahead.

Ooooft! Finally! Such a simple, and seemingly basic clause of a contract yet we have failed to cover this and been stung many a time with such an omission........ Accrington owner will be crying himself to sleep and having a meltdown on Twitter. To be fair, he has every right to be gutted, and I would be too if I were him but he's been acting a bit of a dick. Being a Scottish team we have been screwed over many a time due to the financial gulf so it's good to have a bit of good news for once. The rules are shit but sometimes you need to just suck it up..........

Hope so.3.5 mill ain't really that much for a English side to punt on, I rather we held out for money like the tims seem to get. Like you say If he impresses then we can offer a more lucrative contract and increase or remove the clause.

Great read

Id be getting that amended ASAP

So refreshing to see young talented players joining up.

@AndyNewportPA: I understand @windass101's Rangers deal has a £3.5m release clause

Think it was the first one mate.

Protecting our investment. They are highly rated players, even if its Championship teams who have been interested in them, we know how much they can offer nowadays!

Them posting on twitter how glad they are to sig for a big club will piss off their own fans at Stanley. They are definitely helping their case for getting here in this window.

Josh Windass ‏@windass101 4 mins4 minutes ago Long day but finally put pen to paper with @RangersFC and signed until 2020 .. Huge club with ambitions of European football . Can't wait

I would much rather have them now. despite automatic promotion looking likely it is by no means guaranteed. Get these boys in and start preparing for next season and ensuring we romp the second half of this league.

Anyone that follows lower league english football will know of this guy. A very handy player.

Hopefully get to see Forrester play!

Most of what I have seen suggests the offer is 400k for both. MW clearly thinks these are players for the longer term and while he could get them for less than 100k in the summer having the extra 6 months to get them bedded in could be invaluable.

I think Windass is more likely to play out wide than Halliday is. There seems to be a debate about whether Windass is a striker or a midfielder so he could probably play from the left in a front there.

More competition in the squad is always healthy.
