Having acquired three of the five SPL stars he had set his sights on, Gordon Strachan now appears to have turned his attentions closer to home as Boro enter the fray for Plymouth Argyle striker Jamie Mackie.
The 24-year-old forward has been attracting interest from Nottingham Forest and Derby but now Boro have become the favourites to land the Exeter born player. Isn't it nice to be the favourites for something positive for a change?
Mackie's record of 12 goals in 81 games for Argyle isn't exactly prolific, but it puts Jeremie Aliadiere's in the shade, admittedly this is not the most difficult of tasks!
Meanwhile the Celtic fans have responded en-masse that losing Caldwell at the last minute to Wigan was equivalent to dodging a bullet for Boro. Caldwell, like Ben Watson before him, had a medical and waited until the deal was all but done and dusted before deciding Premier League side Wigan were a better option.
Fair enough, you can't blame him, but Watson's career has not exactly gone from strength to strength since then has it?
