celtic linked with genk striker jelle vossen im sure villa was linked with him a yr or 2 ago iirc,...2m hes rated

pointless looking there for players

no decent striker ever came from Genk

[Larry-AV 83]

Bilel Mohsni is history, so I am posting this for completeness.
He did play some good games for Rangers, but he was also seen as a one-man 'bomb-scare'.
The article also reports that the SFA has reduced Mike Ashley's fine for dual interests from £7.5K to £1K.
He must have pleaded poverty !!!

Skysports - Bilel Mohsni's suspension extended to seven games

[Dimitri 258]

not too shabby in the Champions league thats not counting 1st brittish club to winning it

Although not an officially recognized achievement, seven clubs have achieved the distinction of winning the Champions League or European Cup, their domestic championship, and their primary domestic cup competition in the same season, known colloquially as "the treble":

• Celtic in 1967, having won the European Cup, the Scottish First Division, and the Scottish Cup.
• Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• PSV in 1988 did likewise, having won the European Cup the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• Manchester United in 1999, having won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
• Barcelona in 2009, which included La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
• Internazionale in 2010, which included Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League.
• Bayern Munich in 2013, which included Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League
• Barcelona in 2015 did it again, having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.

Liverpool in 1984 won the English First Division and the European Cup. However, this 'treble' included the Football League Cup rather than the FA Cup.

• Scotland is the only country to have two different cities produce two semi-finalists:
  • Glasgow: Celtic (1967, 1970, 1972 and 1974) and Rangers (1960)
  • Dundee: Dundee (1963) and Dundee United (1984)
