Phil Clement has taken an early lead in the battle for the Transfer Market Cup with the stunning swoop for Jefte.
According to the Daily Record the young Brazilian defender is destined to play for Real Madrid which will be comforting news for their elderly Army of readers.
Over the last three weekends Celtic have won a Glasgow Derby, been presented with the SPFL Premiership title and lifted the Scottish Cup.
Those issues have been dutifully covered by the Record, Sunday Mail and Football Scotland but with no football matches to cause problems there is just over a month of warm, comforting feel good stories to indulge in.
Across the city Celtic haven’t made a single signing with the Record pushing the transfers of Matt O’Riley and Kyogo Furuhashi with Joe Hart’s retirement causing Brendan Rodgers huge problems.
Hahaha ??? Here we go again! EVERY player this mob gets is a superstar! Now #Jefte should be playing for #RealMadrid ??? But he went to Sevco instead for free! ?????? pic.twitter.com/z3N49Nvwwl

No pressure, Jefte. But that’s how highly rated Rangers’ new signing is by a former player who didn’t hit the heights himself at Ibrox. Dalcio spent a solitary year on loan in Govan during the ill-fated Pedro Caixinha reign in 2017. In a disastrous campaign for the club, the Benfica winger was only ever on the periphery at Rangers.
But he’s predicting the opposite to happen for his former APOEL team-mate. Dalcio and Jefte have been team-mates at the Cypriot side for the last year. And the Brazilian full-back has just landed a dream move to Gers after becoming gaffer Philippe Clement’s first signing of the summer. Jefte looks like being a poster boy for a change in the club’s recruitment drive.
Belgian talent spotter Nils Koppen has been tasked with finding young, hungry players with limitless sell-on value. And Dalcio believes his pal could make Rangers a tidy profit in years to come.
This time last year the Record/ Sunday Mail was spewing out similarly gushing profiles on Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers, Danilo and Kieran Dowell.
Jefte failed to make a single competitive appearance for Brazilian side Fluminese before being punted on loan to Cyprus.
Print sales of the Sunday Mail are expected to dip below 46,000 this month with the Record holding on just above 50,000.
Tomorrow Record readers are likely to be informed of the clubs that Leon Balogun rejected in order to sign a 12 month contract for the Clement Revolution!
Embarrassing psycophantic drivel. Who the fk writes like that. Worse, who the fk approves it. How these cerebrally challenged cheerleaders hold down a job as a ‘journalist” is puzzling. Who’s their demographic….h@ns with a collective IQ of 55….If I was sports editor and some cnt turned in that p@ss for approval, they’d be gone soon. It just underlines the whole standard top to bottom, absolutely atrocious. And reinforces the reason I can’t stomach reading smsm.
And the paid how much for him ? 400,000
I said over on another site (Celtic 365) that this is exactly how the Daily Retard and the rest of the SMM would cheerlead every new Hun signing – not that you need to be claiming to be Mystic Meg to expect this ludicrous nonsense from them. It’s the same every summer when the Huns are going for another Transfer Cup. Everyone they sign is an undiscovered superstar in waiting that will go on to earn them Dembele dollars (and then some!). But only once they learn how to wear brogues and a club tie and blazer with unsurpassed dignity and they have been able to learn their trade from training with and playing alongside galactico superstars like TikTok, TavPen and Matondo (or staunchly stood shoulder to shoulder in the trenches with them in the heat of battle, if Barry Ferguson has control of the crayons that day).
Wacko Jacko has outdone himself with this one though. A guy that was plying his trade in Cyprus because he couldn’t get a game for a Brazilian league team was only doing so because he slipped under the radar of one of the richest clubs in the world with one of the biggest global scouting and recruitment networks? Not to mention all those EPL, Bundesliga, other La Liga, etc. clubs? Aye. Right, Keith. Nurse! More Deludemol for the Jackson ward!

He’ll no even get a game wae the £60M Turkish MIDGET still there lol!
i heerd he got boydy a deal on his knashers !!! chortle
GroundHun Day.
This time next year sevco will be billionaires.
And as we know only too well:
just because you’re from Brazil doesn’t guarantee you can kick a football!
NOW the pressure really starts piling up on Lurch.
He still has Beales’s poor squad of losers,
but he only has buttons for a transfer budget.
The Close Season Cup and The Summertime Silverware Sheild are on their way to a place called Liebrox very very soon !
Remember they need to reach that magical number of £70 million to match Celtic for the champions league revenue this season,so this guy will be the first batch of the £10 million players heading to sevco.
Only another 6 to come at £10 million a pop to match Celtic’s champions league money.
All freebies punted on to a total of £70 million +.
Is wee Quark aka Alex Rae that got kicked out of an AA meeting for bringing in his stanch rhetoric of Catholics still on the coaching team at Steptoe&son yard.
Less than a year ago they said the same thing about Cifuentes
the guy who was so bad he hardly played a full 90 mins for them
Jesus wept , is this the pish these swivel eyed foaming at the mouth lunatics are really writing, never mind expecting people to believe, fk me they really have lost the plot.
My da is one of the 50k still buying that rag, he assures me its only for the thinker crossword puzzle he buys it. He was totally befuddled at Jacksons post final piece right enough, when apparently theRangers wuz robbed. Yet still he buys.
Thank god for some of the quality celtic content from yourself and a few others online. Keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated.
