Right then, of the four Scottish players who were thought to be having medicals at Hurworth yesterday, it is has taken one of them, Chris Caldwell, less than 24 hours to decide that the snow covered grass is not greener on Teesside than at Celtic.
Having agreed a three and a half year deal, Caldwell has decided to pull out, leaving Boro to renegotiate terms with Celtic midfielder Barry Robson, whose deal was tied up with Caldwell's.
Apparently moves for Willo Flood and Chris Killen are still expected to go ahead.
The shipping out of Eqyptian bench warmer Shawky seems to be well underway but MFC have yet to confirm that the deal, with Turkish side Kayserispor, is completed, at the time of writing.
Meanwhile Rangers star striker Kris Boyd is to undergo a hernia operation which could scupper his chances of a move to England. Alternatively he could come here for it and keep Andrew Taylor company as the Hartlepool-born defender needs a double hernia operation after the snow meant medical staff could not get in to work to perform the scheduled surgery last weekend.
In other news Leroy Lita was arrested in a Newcastle nightclub - Couldn't he have left that to Andy Carroll?! - after attracting the attention of the police for being 'drunk and disorderly'.
A spokeswoman for Northumbria Police said: "A 25-year-old man was arrested on Collingwood Street, Newcastle, at around 11.40pm on Saturday for being drunk and disorderly and was given a penalty notice."
Lita was given an £80 fine which is a bit like confiscating a child's soft toy when they are naughty despite them being the heir to the Toys R Us fortune, utterly pointless.
