Celtic's last offer for Giorgi Nemsadze was an insulting £800,000 which Peter Marr turned down. The cash strapped Glasgow giants were not even prepared to go to the £1 million mark which might have tempted Dundee, though even this amount is well below Giorgi's true value.
Unless a dramatic turn around takes place before midnight tonight Giorgi looks set to remain a Dee at least until January, 2003.
New signings today were 20 year old Tom Hutchinson from Fulham, a tall central defender who never quite made the first team but Duffy rated the lad and he's now a Dee. Joining him is Gary Brady, who was on trial last week and who looked good in the Under-21 game on Monday night.
