WRONG SIGNS FOR FED-UP CELTIC FANS
THE name of Fergal Harkin won’t mean much to Celtic supporters. The grandly-titled Football Partnerships and Pathways Manager of Manchester City doubles up as the Premiership club’s scouting and recruitment operations manager. Before then, he was a marketing manager with Nike, Celtic’s former kit manufacturers. It was there he forged the alliances which led to Ronny Deila, Jason Denayer and John Guidetti heading for Glasgow. Don’t be surprised, then, if more City prospects like 18-year-old winger Patrick Roberts pitch up at Parkhead. Celtic fans may be tired of projects. Like Chris Sutton, they want cash spent on finished products. But in football, like life, it’s not what you know. It’s who.
