In today’s Rumour Mill: exiled Hearts goalkeeper Marian Kello issues a ‘come-and-get-me’ plea to Celtic; Rangers miss out on another signing; Alan Gow seeks pastures new in Iran; plus the rest of the day’s transfer news
HEARTS goalkeeper Marian Kello says that he has likely played his last game for the club, according to various reports in all of today’s tabloid back pages. The goalkeeper was dropped and exiled from the first team after refusing to agree a move to Austria Vienna for a figure of around £100,000 (though the Daily Mail, it should be noted, quotes £75,000). Kello was accused by the board of not showing commitment to the club, ostensibly for refusing the transfer, but it has since emerged that Kello had also entered into negotiations with a club in England during the transfer window just gone.
Most of the back pages go on to report that the Slovakian international is seeking a move to CELTIC, and could move under freedom of contract in the summer should Celtic reciprocate his interest.
The Daily Express report that RANGERS have missed out on a second trialist following Jorge Claros’s departure to HIBERNIAN last week. Estonian right-back Enar Jaager, who spent a week at Murray Park with Claros, has decided on a move to League One outfit Charlton Athletic. Rangers were keen on arranging a deal for Jaager, but the club have been frustrated by their own financial malaise. Jaager is due to arrive in Charlton today to negotiate terms with Charlton manager Chris Powell.
Much-travelled midfielder Alan Gow, formerly of Falkirk, Rangers and Motherwell (and quite a few other clubs), has agreed terms with Iranian Pro League side Rah Ahan, despite advice to the contrary from the Foreign Office. Gow was released by his last club, Indian outfit East Bengal, in January, and has since been without a team. Gow told The Sun: “When I made the original trip the British authorities advised me not to go, but I didn’t see any bother. No one gave me any trouble.”
The Daily Record report several transfer comings and goings: Stewart Greacen, formerly of Livingston and Morton, has made a switch to League of Ireland side Derry City. Elsewhere, striker Danny McKay has found a home at Albion Rovers after being released by KILMARNOCK, while winger Kevin Finlayson is on the lookout for a club after leaving Clyde.

I'm all behind Ally but TBH I wouldn't have had him in the first place and I never agreed with Walter "grooming" him and him being promised the job - that was wrong. My preference when we're back on our feet (whenever that may be) would be Ray Wilkins or Terry Butcher.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 11:51 PMDDA - there are a few rumblings of discontent regards Ally and he has made a few mistakes but I agree that we should see where we're at come the end of the season... a few wins on the hop and we'll hopefully start to get our pressing game back on track.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:59 PMWell, it's been a good day. Time I wasn't here.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:59 PM#290, Ivory is wrong too.

His passion is still landing him in trouble though, two touchline bans and some handbags with his own player after subbing him. I don't think Mourinho would do better than Ally with our squad and resources at the moment - I don't think any other manager would even take the job.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:44 PM#274 DDA Paolo´s had a good start to his managerial career, and lost none of the passion that made him a great, if temperamental player. Going well in the league, too.Think he´d do a better job at rangers than McCoist?

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:39 PM#284 - Absolutely... European Champions \ Champions of Europe \ European Club Champions... that's what I meant by it being the same accolade... however, most definitely not "Champions League Winners".

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:38 PM#282 DDA. Who's judging him? Apart from ninny and Carson, that is... Read what I said - he'll get better at the job given time.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:36 PM#283, We've already settled this - the Champions League is a re-branding of the competition which began in 1955. A different format was adopted for the competition in the 1990's, but (like the Scottish League Cup, which has undergone numerous changes of format since it was introduced post WWII), it remains the same competition. Celtic are listed as previous winners of the competition, in 1967.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:36 PM#283 Let's put it this way, Ivory: in 1966-67, Celtic were Europe's top club. Surely something we can all agree on?
