    Celtic's newest signing Rami Gershon has revealed he jumped at the chance to join Neil Lennon's side.
    The Israeli defender joined from Standard Liege on loan until the end of the season, with Celtic then having the option to make the deal permanent.

    "Celtic are a very big club and even when I was young I always knew about the club," said Gershon.
    "So when I got the opportunity to come I didn't need to think twice about it - I wanted to come." I didn't need to think twice about it.”

    The 24-year-old, capped 10 times by Israel, is currently getting to know his new team-mates at Celtic's training camp in Marbella. "Everything excites me about joining Celtic," he told Celtic's official website.

    "And it's always exciting to come to a new place - the fact I have to change country, make new friends and meet new staff.
    "I know this is one of the biggest clubs in the world, they have won a lot of championships in Scotland and are the biggest club in Scotland.

    "They also have a lot of history in European competition." (Dig at The Rangers?)

    Left-sided centre-back Gershon has Champions League and Europa League experience from his time in Belgium with Standard Liege. And he already has his eye on Celtic's last 16 tie with Juventus in February. "I've played in the Champions League before with Standard but not after the group stages, so this will be a good adventure," said Gershon.

    "All my thoughts now are working and succeeding with Celtic - this is my goal. "I saw the game against Barcelona and it was a really good game. "I am very happy and excited at this opportunity and I'm ready to start."

    He's not getting a game for Standard Liege apparently - seems quite a bizarre move.

    Off the drink for January Tina, I've tried to avert sober banality by reading Philosophical polemics written by grumpy old men, as well as the comments section on the Daily Mail website. Now I hate everyone and everything.

    You're still a big arsehole. I bet your wife doesn't like you sober.

    In fact, no **** likes you sober.

    There is always one, every time Celtic make a signing we always have one of our own
    telling us he can't be up to much because.......
    Really you would think by now, that we all know that the players we are signing under this
    Management are not exactly house hold names, and not starring in one of the so called super Leagues. Yet so far, thank God we are doing ok. I certainly wouldn't want us to change our Recruiting policy just now.

    Hmmm, yes sh - remember one Henrik Edward Larsson who was sidelined by Feyenoord following a contract dispute, so wasn't getting a game... eternally grateful to Wilhelmus Marinus Anthonius Jansen for that signing of a non-household name.

    We sign a player who played 10 first team games over 3 years for a team that came 5th in the Belgian league.

    Am I not allowed to comment that it's strange - or in order to be a superior Celtic supporter like yourself do I have to shower the club in constant adulation?

    Mick don't take it out on me because you are , in your own words a sad miserable git, as
    Just because you haven't got any cheap wine for ten days or so, big deal. You used
    That excuse for Tina, but you decide to attack me . I cannot help if you surround
    Yourself with yes men, afraid to tell you the truth. Any idiot that doesn't know by now
    Celtic's successful signing process would be better spending his time doing what he likes
    best rather than pretending to be a Celtic fan.

    I said it was 'bizarre' - that a player so unfancied by his own lowly team has moved to Celtic. You have taken the word 'bizarre' as a slight against Celtic and the player. I haven't commented at all on whether or not it will work out well, I can't surely know this because I know nothing but this player's public stats, which is what I have commented on.

    Furthermore if I was to get a bit pissy as you have done, Celtic have signed about 30 players over the last 3 years. In terms of datasets that is absolutely tiny - I'd be more inclined to call you the idiot for credulously throwing your full weight behind a 'successful signing process' which has a considerable probability of being nothing more than random chance.

    Mick you still seem to be like a cat running around with no tail. I am glad to see you
    are trying to alter your earlier position, it was so stupid that even you eventually
    Realised it was unsustainable. I think most people felt that you thought the signing
    wouldn't help the Celtic team. I must say been a clever and wealthy man in the know
    Is very advantageous to you. Me a humble fan had no way of knowing the lottery you
    say Peter and Neil operate each transfer window. Is it one container for free transfers
    and a second for fees up to approx £3m. Peter decides when enough has been spent.
    I, as a mere fan have been crediting John Parke for nothing. All signings poor random.
    Thanks Mick if I need. Any more information on the running of Celtic, I know who to ask.
