Muff 245 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Celtic gazump Rangers for Derby winger Kris CommonsBy Stephen Mcgowan Last updated at 12:01 AM on 26th January 2011 * Comments (0) * Add to My StoriesCeltic are set to complete an audacious move for Scotland winger Kris Commons after gazumping arch-rivals Rangers last night.The Parkhead side have claimed victory in an Old Firm tug-of-war after swaying the 27-year-old Derby County player with a wage offer in excess of £20,000 a week.Ibrox manager Walter Smith opened the bidding on Monday by authorising chief executive Martin Bain to make an offer worth £500,000 after add-ons.In a dramatic twist, however, Celtic entered the race yesterday afternoon with a £300,000 counter bid and a wage offer which forced Rangers - handicapped by savage Lloyds Bank constraints - to concede defeat.Derby County would prefer Commons joined Rangers but were last night resigned to accepting Celtic's lower offer rather than lose one of their star performers for nothing.Commons, capped six times for Scotland, has refused to accept a Derby offer of £15,000 a week to sign a new contract. Rangers were prepared to divert the £20,000 a week paid to former top scorer Kenny Miller for the rest of this season, but were forced to accept that paying that kind of sum from next season could become impossible unless the club is bought over.Increasingly frustrated by Lloyds' handling of Rangers finances, Smith was last night resigned to losing Commons, having admitted earlier in the day: 'He's someone we would be interested in trying to get. We have made an enquiry and are in talks with Derby to see what the situation is with him.'It's important, with us having a small squad of players, if we do get a player in that he can play in more than one position. Kris can do that.'He's in exactly the same position that Kenny Miller was in last week, where his contract expires at the end of the season.In demand: Conor SammonIn demand: Conor Sammon'I don't do the deals. Martin Bain carries out that job. He was in discussions with them (Derby) this morning.'http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1350363/Celtic-gazump-Rangers-Derby-winger-Kris-Commons.html?

Guest therabbitt Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Miller's "£20k" - £22k I believe including bonuses - was being 'diverted' into £14/15k for Commons and the rest for a defender on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't believe for a second that Celtic have had a bid of 200k less accepted. That would be financial management at a staggeringly poor level from Derby! Why on Earth would they accept £200k less from our biggest rivals. They would be in an incredibly strong position to negotiate the same deal they accepted from us. Only a complete moron would accept a lesser bid from Celtic.He was out of contract in 6 months, Derby were in the same position as we were with Miller.Commons was allowed to talk to anybody Derby had no say in this part, Celtic have jumped in offered him more wages and he's rejected us. Leaving Derby with no choice to accept £200k less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
