Celtic Football Club today (2/8/01) announced the signing of three new players to further strengthen its first team squad.
Welsh internationalist John Hartson (26) joins the Club from Coventry City on a four year contract, 24 year old Mohammed Sylla has signed for the Club from St. Johnstone on a five year contract and Steve Guppy (32), formerly of Leicester City has signed with Celtic for the next three years.
Football Manager Martin O’Neill comments, “I am delighted to welcome John Hartson, Steve Guppy and Momo Sylla to Celtic Park. Our season is just one game old and I am confident that all three will play important roles in the coming months. Having lost a number of players during the summer, it was essential to bring the squad back to last season’s strength and I still hope to add to its depth in the coming weeks.”
I must admit that I have never heard of Steve Guppy. Is Hartson still having problems keeping his weight down? As long as Sylla defends well(if he doesn't he'll be on the bench for Marty anyway), he will be a prominent signing for the Bhoys........
Bucky, when do you actually leave for Vegas? I thought you were leaving last night. I am feeling more and more betrayed by the minute. You could have picked the big winner that I needed to get to Kamloops........
