    I'd imagine anyone willing to take him on would be putting pressure on him to retire from international football given his injury record

    To all intents and purposes he's been retired for a while now.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Graeme Jones at Newcastle Utd reportedly a big fan of McCarthy (footballtransfertavern.com, 24 July), and of course no transfer fee involved, which would keep Mike Ashley happy.

    The only way anyone should offer him a contract is on a pay as you pay deal. His injury record is ridiculous

    Signs a four year deal with Celtic: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc...l/58077880.amp

    4 years for McCarthy and 3 for 34 year old Hart. Not very prudent.

    I'm extremely surprised that he would go to Celtic given all the abuse he suffered in Scotland after he declared for Ireland. Who knows what was happening behind the scenes, but I'd be much more impressed with these two signings if they had been made a month ago, and not now. Celtic's season is already over.

    Given McCarthy's problems with injuries, I think this is a good move for him. The Europa League will offer a good standard of football and is probably a more appropriate level for Celtic to compete in these days. Obviously the domestic league is a step down but hopefully that means he can be rotated appropriately, with perhaps him being used primarily in Europe and big domestic matches (Old Firm, etc).

    I suppose that was the carrot. They probably wouldn’t have signed for Celtic without that carrot.

    I was assuming he’d be straight into Celtic team but he’s on the bench last few games

    He’ll be a starter when fully fit. He missed preseason because he signed up so late so they’re easing him in.

    Timing should work out OK for us if he’s had a couple of 90 mins under his belt before the international break.

    It will be very interesting to see if he plays for us again. I have a feeling he may call time on his international career, although I hope I'm wrong as I feel he's our best player by a mile when fit.

    At the end of the day, every player wants to play in a World Cup. If he’s fit I have no doubt he will make himself available and will start.

    I think the step down in Scotland will be better for him physically as he won’t be as run down all the time given his team will enjoy more possession and won’t be chasing all the time. Hopefully this translates into him being fitter and more energetic for us. Wishful thinking perhaps.

    I don't think he is still going to be around for 2026 though!
