I see we've taken on John Park in a senior scouting role

Was he the Celtic scout from a decade or so ago?

Think he did well for you outside the striker department

Off the top of my head......Amido Balde, Mo Bangura......diddies one & all...... don't know if Park had any input......to balance the books he did find some hidden gems

A few gems. Quite a bit of dross as well. Don't really know what he's done since leaving Celtic. Just read he was working with Tony Mowbray at Blackburn most recently. Good luck to him, just not too much.

An Xcape moment.
Park was good and bad - like most scouts
they are more reliant on connections and data now than actual travelling and uncovering a gem themselves .
whenever a decent player is available its uncommon that both celtic and rangers dont know about them .
scouting isnt what it once was but Park probably has good connections
John Park used to be my manager in a youth set up in one of his early roles a loooooong time ago.
He was always a good guy - very fair and honest. He knows it inside out and has a load of experience. It can’t do a lot of harm having him as part of the set up. 👍
His work at the hibs youth team was amazing, however, if we don’t get the next van dijk within a year then he’s a useless bograt.
I'm sure John Park brought in Virgo, Loovens and Mo Camara..

Crystal Palace now hijacking it. No bidding war will happen though as he’s got a 10m release fee

Surely if someone comes in with a higher bid it would be accepted.
I don't know how these release clauses work, but isn't that just a minimum bid?

Not so.
All any bidding club has to do is trigger the release clause and the sale has to go ahead if the player agrees.
All down to personal terms and the choice of the player for which club he wants to play for.

As for Aribo.
Seems to have a list of teams wanting him hopefully that drives the price up although i read he has a 10m release clause.
Southampton, Forest and Palace. Walks into all of those teams. Surprised one of the bigger middle sides like Everton or Villa aren't interested
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really?
Like Edouard?

I’d argue there’s a wide berth between what Celtic can sell a player for and what we can. Hopefully we can change that.
Despite this, edouard or a n other not performing will directly effect the potential price of Rangers players.
