Celtic can organise USA and Ireland Tour but can’t sign a left-back

Dollars before Defenders – USA tour is a good move, but why can’t those in charge be so quick to bolster the player department?

Celtic have teased the supporters by hinting that a tour of the USA is in the pipeline this coming summer. It’s been a while since we toured The States and it will be excellent exposure for the club and no doubt be financially rewarding.

No official announcement has been made yet, buts it’s believed that the pre season trip will include visits to states such as Washington DC and North Carolina with games against some top quality opposition being mentioned. While that is good news for the money men and the supporters in the USA, it yet again raises questions of those in charge.

We had to endure a disappointing January transfer window which left us short on the required quality for our title challenge. No planning was done on recruitment, and it was all very unprofessional, leaving the club with around £70m gathering dust in the PLC’s bank account.

Yet a money spinning tour of the USA was remarkably well put together, and not in a short space of time. This sort of thing will have been months of planning.

It shows the priorities of our club’s leaders. They can carefully and effectively plan something that involves plenty of money coming their way. But try signing a left-back? That’s way beyond their apparent capabilities. It’s all very convenient indeed.
