Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Clasie out for a bit longer than expected according to Mikos Gouka.

It's a laugh? Weather wasn't great for the photos maybe? Makes a better story if it's done on the last day too.

But has he travelled down? Is it all done bar the final fee? Can't imagine Celtic would be bringing in replacements if it wasn't all but done.

So Man U have bid 100 million Euros for Gareth Gates? Desperate...

There is a serious lack of quality English players a the moment looking at that squad. Average and zero chance of winning the Euros.

BREAKING NEWS... Virgil Van Dijk will fly out to London tomorrow to hold contract talks with Southampton. 1/2 Fee of around £10.5m + 15% sell on fee has been agreed by both clubs. 2/2 From a Twitter 'source' called CelticTransferTalk...

Oh absolutely. And means we aren't constrained by the window and Koeman could be more definite. Far from my preferred option due to lack of immediate availability and question marks as to how long he'd take to be fully up to speed anyway.

Koeman seemed definite about a signing so I'm wondering whether he's either putting pressure on Les to get something sorted or the target is someone else, maybe Koulibaly. The third alternative is, and I really hope it's not this, Vlaar - who else would be competing to sign someone who won't play for a few months?

Spoil sport!

TRANSFER EXCLUSIVE: @ManUtd have agreed a fee with @celticfc of £10m + Tyler Blackett for the services of Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk So says someone called Simon Rowntree on Twitter. No idea on reliability...

Would rather see Reed in the team than JWP at the moment. Different types of player but I think Reed could offer the team more in terms of bringing some stability and bite to the centre of the park.

Hopefully Kat will head out onto the pitch after a couple of pre-match bevvies to scream "let's be having you" both to fire up the fans & in honour of our opponents. And we will get an impressive 4-0 win to send us into the international break in good heart with 3 points and the walking wounded still to return. Huzzah!

If the players can't understand the disappointment of fans who have travelled a long way at large cost, some of whom are lucky to get paid in a year what the players might get paid in a week, having witnessed an insipid uninspired performance from their team, then they are more stupid than I give them credit for.

Bargain bin and given little or no opportunity thus far, to boot.

Or Kevin Keegan and Peter Shilton. Now, the best midfielder we've had, that's a different question...

He can come and sit in the treatment room with Vlaar...

To be fair, he needs to weigh up yesterday's pathetic performance against tonight's and decide whether he'd like to play Europa League or get paid more.

Thank f**k we're a showcase club is what I think. Imagine how bad it could be if we weren't!

Branfoot-esque football with a Branfoot-esque outcome. No invention or ideas. On the basis of this performance, I'd say we need more than just a CB. Massively disappointing end to our short Europa campaign and a real waste of last season's achievement.

Well that was disappointing. #welimpon

It's made me think. How bad must Vitesse have been?

A shot! A shot!
