    Celtic have appointed Derek McCormack as club doctor to replace Roddy MacDonald, who has joined Newcastle.
    McCormack is currently employed on a part-time basis with Dundee United and holds additional senior medical roles after working as a general practitioner and in several Scottish hospitals.

    He said: "It is a magnificent honour to join a club of Celtic's stature and I am very much looking forward to working with the manager, players and backroom team at Celtic Park.

    it's a shame really because MacDonald had overseen the treatment of maloney and larsson and was always impressed at how quick they recovered for injuries that could have finished them

    He also oversaw Beattie... Not a doctor myself, so I can't say much. In with the new, out with the old.

    Thanks. Do you like being bitter or something?

    The fact that Newcastle head-hunted him proves that he was highly regarded.

    not an ounce of bitterness in my body. just wondered how YOU would know he was a good doctor, did you have a consultation with him. i would assume he must be good at what he does otherwise he wouldn't get the job, but i cant stand sideline experts who pontificate about professions they know nothing about, including football, did you ever play professional football
