From the HUN

R*ngers have struck a deal to sign Manchester City kid Vladimir Weiss on a season-long loan.
The SPL champions swooped to secure their second signing of the summer from under the noses of Celtic.
SunSport can reveal Gers manager Walter Smith first enquired about the Slovakian midfielder six weeks ago just days after Hoops gaffer Neil Lennon declared his interest in him.
But Gers have won the race for the World Cup star after agreeing a fee with City late last night.
Weiss, 20, will jet into Glasgow today to complete his 12-month loan move.
City boss Roberto Mancini is convinced Weiss has a big future in the Premier League but wants him to gain more first-team experience.
It's understood the fact Gers are playing in the Champions League was a major plus for Mancini.
Weiss, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Bolton, becomes Smith's second signing in a week following the arrival of James Beattie.
Now I can't find anything about this on the R*ngers Website or BBC Sports so I don't know what to make of it. Were we originally after Weiss as well? is he any good?
Fucking embarrasing if true.
Beaten to his signature by a skint huns team, ffs.
first off, we officially never declared any interest in this guy.
secondly not a single quote, and i'll file this under the same bracket as the Jelavic deal which has been 'completed' about 5 times now, apparently![]()
Bellamy was the only player the club went public with their intentions, and we didn't get him....
Funny that.
"Celtic is important to me in as much as it's one of the only constants in my life over the years. I have changed and become various things but it is the one constant. Religion, friendships have come and gone, likes and dislikes have come and gone, but Celtic has remained." - Billy Connolly
There is a thread Mick, but it's yet another of the rags attempts to link us with every player under the sun so they can say "celtic failed" or in this case, funnily enough it was only a two days ago they printed our 'story' about this guy, then out of the water, another fabricated story declaring our 'interest' has been beaten by the huns, yet no proof of any of either story exists.
This is why the official site should be used more, have celtic use it and come out against these fucked up stories.
not sure if we actually wanted this guy tbh
Shame. With all the injury-prone wingers in our club, we could have benefited from getting this guy.
Fuck him ,pencil necked wee rat
Weiss told the Daily Record: "I'd love to play for Celtic. It would be like a dream come true for me. The thing is, it's okay me saying I'd love to go to Celtic but it's not just up to me. Manchester City also have a say in where I go next. I need to speak to them and get their opinion of what is best for me.
watching him fail while thinking of this shall make me happy![]()
hate when a player picks them bastards over us, we dont even need another midfielder anyway
if I was Lennon I would try beat them to Jelavic he seems like their priority and he's a good player
on BBC site:
BBC Sport - Football - Vladimir Weiss close to completing Rangers loan move
What happened with Nacer Barzite btw? Did they ever get him on loan?
Wonder if someone actually spoke to him about this move, someone like Varga or Lubo.
I can't think of any good reason bar CL football to join the scum.
Apparently they asked about him at the start of Summer so got first refusal, he's a decent player but might struggle with the physical side of the SPL. If he choose them then they are welcome too him, I hate the Huns.
would rather forrest got a chance in the team than him. About time we put faith in a youngester like we did with mcgeady. so no great loss IF he did rekject us forthe scum.
