Often in situations like that a club would be sparked into some token action, leaking news of transfer activity to a favoured source knowing that it will quickly go viral.
Celtic under the ‘leading sports lawyer’ appear very much like they did under the former Clydeport bean-counter. Dull, tired, preductable and totally devoid of ambition.
