Smyth joined QPR from Linfield. I doubt he's likely to become one of our own. Holden is much more likely. Great to see him make an impact on the senior squad already.

Reise Allassani is on the comeback trail with Dulwich Hamlet in the Isthmian League following a terrible run of injuries. He has 17 goals in 16 games and apparently the Old Firm have joined a plethora of league sides in England in the chase for him: https://thecelticbhoys.com/2018/01/12/celtic-rangers-allassani/

This lad played for us at I think under 16 and switched to brits after this not sure there is any indication he wants to play for us I remember seeing a tweet at the Time where he said something like playing for us was a mistake. Think he has younger brother at Durham. Well done to him fighting back from been released and then doing his cruciate

Never realised that regarding Rogers. Looks like Joe Lewis was injured as he wasn't in the squad. He's regarded as one of the top couple of keepers in Scotland.

[Olé Olé]

Not great news for Rogers. Aberdeen have beaten Celtic to the loan sign in of Newcastle's Freddie Woodman. Word is that he's going in as first choice in the absence of the injured Joe Lewis and that was the premise upon which he went there as opposed to Celtic.

Stephen Henderson gone to Portsmouth on loan should mean Bossin gets promoted to bench for forest
