Ndaba: The Aim is to Play as Much as I Can
Thursday, 28th Jan 2021 10:01
Blues centre-half Corrie Ndaba says a vote of approval from room-mate Aaron Drinan made up his mind on his loan move to Scottish Championship side Ayr United.
Ndaba joined the Honest Men earlier this month and finally made his debut in Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Dunfermline, previous scheduled games having been postponed.
The 21-year-old, who came close to moving to Somerset Park a year ago, says he asked Drinan about his spell with Ayr during the season half of last season, in which the striker scored twice in nine starts, before making his move north of the border.
Very sad news reached the Celtic family on Sunday night of the passing of the 1970’s ex Celtic star, Johannes ‘Shuggie’ Edvaldsson.
Celtic were in a state of disarray when Johannes arrived in Glasgow to sign for them in July 1975. Jock Stein had just been seriously injured in a car crash and was to miss the entire 1975-76 season with Sean Fallon taking control of team affairs. Billy McNeill, Jimmy Johnstone and Jim Brogan had also departed, leaving a huge void to be filled in their absence. Celtic needed players urgently and Edvaldsson was a most welcome arrival. He was an Icelandic international who had been playing in Denmark and initially came on a short term contract to see if he could settle. In monotone 1970’s Glasgow, Johannes was seen as an exotic creature and very cosmopolitan, as Celtic had not regularly fielded a non-British/Irish player for decades. He was a headline writer’s dream and cut a popular figure in the media with many references to the ‘Ice-Man’.

Quintin Young on Rangers record winning run - and how Steven Gerrard s side can still outdo Jock Wallace s team STEVEN Gerrard’s side may have come up just short in their bid to equal Rangers’ post-war record for consecutive league wins on Sunday afternoon when they failed to beat Motherwell at Fir Park. But one of the players who helped the Ibrox club to triumph in 16 games on the spin in the old First Division back in the 1972/73 campaign is confident they will be able to go one better than Jock Wallace’s team this term. Quintin Young made an immediate impact for his boyhood heroes after joining them from Coventry City in a swap deal with striker Colin Stein in the October of that memorable season.
