STV understands that Celtic have now contacted the SPFL and gained approval for the player to be registered for domestic competition if all the formalities are completed with FIFA, who govern all international transfers.

The Glasgow club have now asked the Scottish FA to approach FIFA on their behalf to have the transfer fully approved.

Ah, i thought "rules were rules" with Celtic? Certainly they were shouting that when Warsaw didn't quite tick all the boxes correctly.

Hilarious. You must have been the first to think that.

You can approach Fifa if there are relevant circumstances for the delay. I'm fine with Fifas decision either way.

I feel for the guy as he was actually at Celtic early evening and keen to sign not having had a game at City in a year but his transfer was held up probably because the Scopovic transfer was back on.

Anyone watching? Anyone?

[StraferJack]

Nope

Just checked score on my phone. Nil nil. Gutted I'm missing it

[Otta]

I am, although not sure I'll manage the second half.

Amazing insight from Andy Townsend. Apparently the fact England don't score goals is a factor they need to work on.

Colour me educated.

[Jah Lush]

I'm watching...

[Otta]

Rooney now ahead of Owen on England goals.

Although Owen scored in world cups.

[Otta]

I must say, as a Liverpool fan I am really excited about the player Sterling seems to be becoming. I know this promise doesn't always pan out, but it's starting to look like more than promise.

Not so excited as an England fan because I don't think he'll be used to his full potential.

There's a very long list of players who you could you say come under that description.

[Mick Mac]

Oh man. Just heard Ireland also won tonight.

[Mick Mac]

I wouldn't worry Otta. England matches are just to keep players in shape in the gaps between club matches.

[Otta]

Oman that's awesome.

[Otta]

Cross post there.

[Otta]

Making my stunning wit slightly less stunning.

[Mick Mac]

That was actually my intended joke..... Glad to see it wasn't too obvious.

[Jah Lush]

Glad I recorded the Germany v Argentina game. Gonna watch that now.

[Jah Lush]

Well, that was far more interesting. Lamela scored a cracker and Di Maria played a blinder. I'm having a fiver on Lamela and Di Maria both scoring in their next games for their clubs.

[Rolo Tomasi]

Jah, what channel was that on?

[Jah Lush]

BT Sport.

Meaningless friendly, played by disinterested players in front of a half empty stadium, and ignored by disinterested fans.

[david_carnell]

Uninterested.

Audacious bid for Ronaldinho. Yeah, good luck with that.

sorry D_C, another pedants myth.

disinterested can also mean uninterested as well as neutral
