I was disappointed not to see atajic involved in the Arbroath game, he has been banging the goals in and I have read some good stuff about him albeit from the celtic website. Ed, do u have any insider knowledge on what's happening with him or are we sticking with our under achieving first team? {Ed007's Note - The club are happy with his progress.}

Never made the game yesterday but glad fringe players got a run out.was the GB still on strike ? Ill leave comments about the last few home games until after 9.30pm on Wednesday night.this is going to be the big test.if we make the CL then ill happy forgot the poor run its not good enough but if we make it it's more or less 2 months to get the league points up and cup games done over one leg.

Watched some of the rangers game good result (3-0) however I believe the attendance at this game today won't be spoke about....

the attendance was always going to be low at rangers game due to weather and the fact there is a section of our support still believing that we should boycott any games that are to do with the sfa as it was the scottish cup this is to do with the sfa i for one didn't go and won't go to any scottish cup game even if we played your lot. i believe it's time all this negative talk about scottish football is forgotten and we concetrate on trying to sort ourselves out and find a structure that actually works. why you not want to talk about the crowd yesterday then noone has mentioned it on here.

Still a a good few thousand more there than the celtic game on saturday.Don't see you mentioning that. Fact our game was live on ss as well prob lost us a few fans.

On another matter, did you see the woman in the elgin end out her tree on X? Dancin like a loon to the tunes played at the stadium. Was showin on ss, not a good look for scottish football haha {Ed007's Note - Did you see that from your seat in the stadium or from watching on TV? Just asking......

Celtic and Miku in discussions to cut short loan deal in January.

MikeyBhoy88

Hope so. He's not settled at all still require a playmaker and a physical presence up front

Probably involve a termination fee for celtic

I mentioned this on here about a month ago and got slaughtered by alot of people saying he will come good and he needs time etc, wonder if these same people want to voice there opinion now, do they still think he will be a success.

celticthomas

Good shout. He's not really done the business has he. Who is your source Mikey? Ian L

I think the lad's done pretty good so far, despite a wee injury and competition for places. why cut short a deal unless someone else who is better and comes with a more lucrative deal comes in?

Wish it was the swansea MICHU, he is battering the goals in, DID WE SIGN THE RIGHT ONE? Johnbhoy

Ian L. Matt Mcglone is the source mate he's on the ball with most things. Would really liked to have seen Miku come good and possibly given a good run of games he may have.

MikeyBhoy88

Ok thanks for the info Mikey. Think it must suit all involved if the deal is cut short. Neil Lennon works with him everyday in training, however he very rarely starts a game and when he does he's never really done it. Best of luck to the guy were ever he ends up.

In this global economy, no club can carry passengers in the hope they eventually come good. It's very competitive and guys have to hit the ground running. Immediate results and performances are expected.
Wish the guy all the best. Scottish football can't afford to carry exotic/ extravagant expenses.

I'm guessing he was our very expensive ace up the sleeve for CL games who never scored the goals to get us through or got himself first striker preferred slot.
With one game to go, if he's a bench decision, then he's too expensive for the bench.

I know i will get pelters for this but i would like to see Sheridan back at celtic park. We wil see how he fares next week but i think he is stronger and faster than when he left. We are a one trick pony at the moment in europe no one can handle our height or power and he will add to this. He is only 23 and remember Mulgrew. We do need a playmaker and a speedy winger. Johnny Russell and Maor Melikson could fill these roles we should also prepare for the loss of Hooper and Wanyama. Ambrose would look good in the wanyama role and we could find a dominant centre back

Johnny russell is not celtic class. Mackay steven maybe, but not a position we're crying out for just now. If the last 16 is achieved then it will be within the reach of nl to look down south at out of favor prem players or even overseas. wages may still be the stumbling block, but the squad needs class acts who will fit in straight away. these guys come with a cost.

If miku goes will we be bringing someone in ?

That would be disappointing as I think the guy has class, he just hasn't settled into the team well. During the champions league anytime we have called upon him I think he has done well.

People need to stop thinking we are amazing. We are becoming more n more like a feeder club. Had a good run in europe so far but we are still 64th in european rankings which is embarassing to say the least

What's embarrassing? On current form we are top 30 so relax. Sopot Celt

Aye here here and if we get through wednesday, doesn't that technically mean we're top 16?

Hi Ed, Lenny keeps saying he thinks Hooper is happy at Celtic and he's close to agreeing a new deal, yet this has been going on now for ages. Do you think Hooper will be off in Jan?

MikeyBhoy88 {Ed007's Note - I would say it will be the summer but it depends on any bids in January.}

If Sunderland keep up the run of form they are on I would definitely expect them to come in for Hoops in January.
