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.
