Loads of people abuse McGinn for moving to England in a situation we messed him about too long.

Boyata has been here, is an absolute donkey and yet has the cheek to expect bids accepted down south etc

Lets see if the green tinted spec mob give him the abuse he deserves for being a passenger and acting like he's Maldini.

I'd be happy to sell most out defenders. Apart from Ajer, Tierney. None are good enough.

McGinn would, in my opinion, have been a Superstar for Celtic. Some say that he wouldn't have got a game but I doubt that somehow. He is a player in the mould of Paul McStay and I firmly believe that the board will regret missing out on him. The lad wanted to come to us. He made no secret about what he wanted but again our penny pinching board thought they were being clever and were playing on the idea that he would turn down any alternative offer. This should be a harsh lesson learned and shame on our club for allowing it to happen. HH.

Naw DesH the gaffer was going on about it today and the agent running his mouth to the press saying he will sign a pre contract else where in January.

Tesla I am one of the ones not bothered by Mcginn not signing though I don't harbour him any ill will for making his choice.

If ANY player doesn't want to be at parkhead and he or his entourage start affecting the mood around the place he should be punted at the first opportunity.

Seem boyata has now started liking Seville Twitter page after they've shown interest in him.

Sell him ASAP for 10 million if we get it. He’s had a good 6 months but before that he was a bomb scare every time he was on the pitch. You would think he owes the club, manager after they stuck by him as for two seasons before he’s hardly pulled up trees. Plus you can’t have players moping around causing trouble . Sell him and move on.

Have to agree with those who are saying well boyata. It was heart in the mouth stuff most of last season when he had the ball. All of a sudden he plays a few matches the world cup and he thinks he a superstar. Well if the guy wants out then Celtic should sell asap and not let him go for free as it's clear he won't sign. And there is no way he is injuries as said. Let's take the money and run and get a new CB who wants to play for celtic.

Agree1 Disagree0

Boyata is a rat celtic and us fans stood by him when he was making mistakes on a weekly basis he has a few good months and now he thinks he is a superstar get rid ASAP. See if sevilla qualify for anything with that donkey in there team. He is a rat.

With the £9 million we got offers for him and stupidly knocked back, no one will convince me otherwise with that kind of money we couldn’t have got a better centre half in? In fact I don’t believe we’d have had to spend anywhere near half that £9 million to replace boyata.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 11:05:05
Yip he can gtf if reports are true. Make him train with kids. I will happily drive him to wherever he wants to go. In boot of my car.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 11:10:37
Keep him and let him rot for a season. he's no better than what we have in our other 3, even Bitton. See how good he is in a year after that and where is career is then.

Agree3 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 12:57:22
My first instinct on reading about the strife he is causing this morning was knock him back to the u-19s for the year. Petulance aside, I'd punt him. Don't need that attitude anywhere in our ranks. He's a mediocre centre half and 10-15 Million ought to get us what we need: a Stubbs / Eliott type as another poster said, and allow Ajer, hendry, and possibly Sumo to develop with a seasoned operator.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 13:16:39
Mcginn a Paul mcstay 😂😂😂😂
You get some real nonsense on this site sometimes Ed007.

Cava if Elliot or Stubbs was playing football today they would both be well above the 10 million bracket.

Elliot was the best CB I've ever seen at Celtic and I include van djyk in that.

Totally agree with bobcat, he would easily push Scott brown out if the team. Before I'm slated, I think Brown is a really good SPL player. But when he isn't fouling players, what does he actually bring? People say he keeps the ball moving which is fine but anyone can do that when every single pass is sideways. Genuinely think Ncham is 10 times the player. Box to box and think mcginn would have been similar.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 14:15:16
Don't disagree Kev, he was immense.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 16:07:02
What about McNeil and Aitken.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 17:49:18
Never seen mcniell play and big aitken was just about done at Celtic by time I remember him.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 19:05:14
Well Kev they are probably the 2 best defenders of longevity we have ever had along with Danny McGrain.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 21:23:37
Danny is one of my dad's favourite players but again before my time.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 21:33:25
I'd still say he's better than Simunovic. He's become a bit of a liability too. All elbows forearms and kicks now and his passing and decision making has become a little erratic too. Bayern Munich springs to mind. Maybe he needs an experienced partner at the back or he's just not cut out to be at Celtic?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 23:26:50
Kev83, good call with Elliot, great player but apart from McNeil the best centre back at Celtic Park that I have seen was Marc Rieper. Its just a pity injury robbed us of him!

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 11:15:33

Celtic XI v Hearts: Gordon; Lustig, Simunovic, Hendry, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Hayes, McGregor, Sinclair; Griffiths.

Subs: Bain, Rogic, Ntcham, Edouard, Ajer, Forrest, Johnston.

Is that 3-4-2-1? Hayes is featuring more than I thought he would, he was good against Livi, has a great cross.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Yeah it looks 3-4-2-1 to me.}

11 Aug 2018 11:40:41
For some strange reason the Club released the wrong team line up....... I've changed it to the new team now.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 11:51:28
What's happening with Gamboa Pretty perplexed he's left out completely unless he's injured? Thought he looked decent when he came back.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That'll be the defence in Athens.}

11 Aug 2018 11:56:29
Come on lads. Need to step up today. A lot of people thinking we will collapse, I think we will win well. Won’t be easy but we will do it to feck up all of a Sevconia.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 11:57:53
That was a strange one. Still should have more than enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Very weird.... and the length of time it took them to change it.}

11 Aug 2018 12:01:50
Somebody’s arse will be kicked me thinks.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 12:05:09
Ideal lineup that with Athens in mind. Should be strong enough for the 3 points and be good to see Hayes, Sinky, Kouassi, Griffiths stake a claim for a place. I'm assuming Kouassi is playing Ed as Ntcham is on the bench and starting lineup?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 13:56:13
Need to change things. Not happening all over the pitch. Hayes and Kouassi struggling,

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 14:04:34
I predict a F up!

This is poor again, like the other night hardly any shots on target again.

11 Aug 2018 14:26:36
Truly woeful performance.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 14:43:40
Unfortunately like during the week. Bullied again by a big C. F. and to be honest all over the pitch. Definitely certain second string players are no way good enough for celtic and even at this level which is a worry.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 14:44:35
Lacked all over. We already look like a team that’s played 40 games this season. Tired and a lack of real creativity. Physically, we aren’t at it either.

Agree3 Disagree1

12 Aug 2018 23:04:39
If we go out on Wednesday I fear Brendan will walk. We can all feel that something is not right at the club. Already this could be a very long and hard season. Totally outplayed today and more worryingly out fought. No decent players coming in and the squad looks low on confidence.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2018 10:24:42
Boyata’s agent has had a dig at Celtic for not agreeing to sell him. Supposedly broken promises.

I don’t know what the promises were but as far as I’m concerned if a player has a contract, unless there’s a buyout clause there’s no requirement for us to accept offers. That annoys me about the current game, players and agents ignoring their contracts and demanding a move.

However he’s pretty much confirmed he won’t sign a new deal so we’re better off cashing in. Let’s just hope the club have a replacement lined up.
