The Scottish Mail on Sunday reports that Rabiu Ibrahim on trial next week will stay at Celtic. The midfielder is hoping the Scottish club to enforce a contract. His contract at PSV was dissolved by mutual consent, because he had too little insight into playtime. A lease by PSV raised concerns because it would in return receive a salary that would have met the level of salaries for non-EU players.

We're selling someone mate !

[Gaffney]

He looks like he could potentially be a decent player.

[mcdermott]

He's acutal a decent player seen him once or twice should give him a contract

[YB67]

Id definetely take a chance on him.

Ok he hasnt lived up to the hype but he is still only 20 ffs. Maybe if he came here and got some football under his belt he could progress.

He can play in the number 10 role behind the strikers and thats a position I think we need someone who can play in.

he's only played about 3 first teams games lol

I  think were clearing out McCourt, McGinn and possibly Commons will probably be sold now or at the end of the season imo.

[The-Velcro-Avenger]

if he's good enough why not and he's free we have a lot of good youth coming through as well pushing for first team the future is bright at cp!

[Alzi]

if we can get psv youngsters on a free then we shouldnt be saying get the guy tied down on a contract and boot some of the fringe players like mccourt and mcginn as the boy is younger and will have potential, cant see psv just picking up random no good youngsters to play in their first team

Why would we by a dud and sell Commons does not make any sense, yes he has had injuries and put a bit of weight on, but if there is going to be a clear out mccourt mcginn bangura cha  should all go before commons. Yet again we are going do any remaining business the last 24 hours, we may not spend any money. Commons must stay he makes us tick when he is form.

agree.

and why buy this lad whho has only played 3 games? we would be better off getting someone older, we have plenty of young ones, fucking thinking of dollar signs as usual when we sell him/them on, instead of silverware.

"Yes Rabiu Ibrahim is training with Celtic. That's the much I can give for now," said Harris.
But SuperSport.com learned that Rabiu trained with Neil Lennon and his squad on Saturday.
Rabiu has been a long-term target of Celtic but attempts to join The Bhoys have stalled due to work permit issues.
The 20-year-old Nigerian last month parted ways mutually with Dutch giants, PSV Eindhoven.
Lennon is looking in the direction of the former Gateway FC man to strengthen his side in the number 10 role.
The ex-Under20 and Under23 Nigerian midfielder is said to prefer moving to Celtic in spite of other interest from a host of English clubs including Sunderland.

Thats the article i just read on it.

kris commons has fallen out with the coaching staff, he is undoubtedly a great footballer , but he has fallen out with the man who picks the team. Dont expect to see him in the hoops again.

I think the same thing happened to Juarez because everyone knows that guy has quality

[dundalk celt]

possibly have heard juarez was caught rotten, so to speak . And I think that is the reason for his exile.

before he has even started more than 1 game for us? no way.

anyway, we are apparently close to signing this guy. Defo worth a pop I think. He hasnt lived up to the hype as I said but wasnt given a chance at all at Sporting Lisbon or PSV. Maybe we could be his club? wait and see if he signs...
