ED007 have Celtic got young Ralston on a longish contract, I read that EPL clubs are looking at him, hope we have him tied up for next 2/ 3 years at least.

{Ed007's Note - Ralston's contract runs until 2019 but I've heard talks have already started on a new deal for him.}

Ed have you heard anything regarding Rogic, Was told Tuesday night BR wants him tied down long term. I thought he had only recently signed an extended contract.

{Ed007's Note - Rogic signed a new three-year deal last summer so he's got two years to run.}

Ok thanks Ed that's what i thought. Possibly trying to tie up players sooner so we don't have another SA situation.

{Ed007's Note - It's telling that Armstrong signed a new two-year deal and yet Simunovic - who supposedly refused to play in Astana and tried to force a move to Burnley - signed a 4-year deal.}

ED. What would possess Simunovic to leave us for Bury. He's far better than that.

{Ed007's Note - Bloody predictive text!}

So do you think the club are just trying to protect themselves by having players tied down so we will get reasonable fees Ed. Can't see any of our homegrowns wanting to leave anytime soon and if others do want to leave then i ain't overly fussed every player can be replaced. Give me a Tierney or a Ralston any day of the week. Last night i watched the youth game from Tuesday and was very impressed with the way we attacked some of the football was very nice to watch should never have got beaten.

{Ed007's Note - It does help when it comes to selling players if they have a few years to run but it also shows the player that the manager has faith in him and that the Club are looking to give the player security to keep him and his family settled and happy.}

Other than Henderson Ed and a think De Vries will be off end of season I think we have everyone decent tied down is that right is there anyone else that is a Bosman? (y)

{Ed007's Note -

2018 - De Vries and Henderson. Roberts and Eduoard (Loans end.)
2019 - Boyata, Lustig, Gamboa, Ralston, Brown, Forrest, Armstrong and Rogic.
2020 - Sviatchenko, Ajer, Bitton, Hayes, Sinclair and Dembele.
2021 - Simunovic, Tierney, Eboue Kouassi, Ntcham, McGregor, Benyu and Griffiths.

Some build of a laddie for his age. He gave a good account of himself against PSG and thought he actually looked more assured than KT on the night. Great potential.

Quite happy at that Ed well ahead of the curve so to speak for the tail end of this season (y)

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to see Boyata and Rogic get extensions and I'd probably try and get Ajer and Ralston to extend their deals. Overall though and apart from Armstrong I'm happy enough with the way things look contract wise.}

Hasn't Brown just signed an extension untill 2020?

{Ed007's Note - No, he signed a new two-year contract not an extension.}

Ed what age is brown? A would've thought he'd be on a longer contract than that.

{Ed007's Note - He turned 32 in June, so his new contract takes him up until he's 34, his 13th season at the Club.}

That's some going. A think he'll want to stick around just a little bit longer 👍.

{Ed007's Note - If his body's up to it he'll get a years extension on a season by season deal like most over 30s get these days. Let's hope KT has told Broony he's going to beat his records.}

A Think by that time kt will be team captain and broonie will play the role Tom boyd played in his twilight. Where possible it should always be someone like kt, not necessarily Scottish but who's either a fan or like lustig who's bought into the whole scene.
