Brendan Rodgers is in the dark about Gary Mackay-Steven going on loan to Ross County.

Word emerged yesterday about a loan deal for the former Dundee United winger with some websites taking it as a done deal.

GMS has still to start a match after a summer ankle injury with Rodgers denying any imminent move to the Dingwall side.

Asked today about a deal he admitted: “Not that I’m aware of, he’s still injured, there’s nothing in that.”

Rodgers was more forthcoming about Charlie Mulgrew.

Last season’s vice-captain was phoned by the new Celtic boss towards the end of his contract and is still without a club.

With Celtic beset by injuries to central defenders it seemed likely that a deal would be struck but there has been no sign of a new deal.

The arrival of Kolo Toure and emergence of Eoghan O’Connell look to have closed the doors on a new deal for Mulgrew.

I don’t know Charlie that well but what I do know is he was a good servant to the club,” Rodgers explained.

His contract was up, he was looking to negotiate with the club and unfortunately those negotiations stalled.

He’s without a club and he asked if he could come in and train for a few weeks until something happened further down the line

By all accounts, he’s a good guy, and from speaking to him a few times, he’s a good guy who wants to work and train well

He’s been a good servant to Celtic here and I have no problem in helping out good people like him.”

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.

Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement.

There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same. More than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying the ongoing successes of Celtic.
