I never doubted DD for a moment (COUGH)
Reports today say DD has promised our coach at least 4 new players, with the first looking like to be the Quarabag player Duran, who looks the part
But, and there is always a but with DD
If 4 players coming in, you can bet at least 4 will go out
Maeda, Hatate, Engels and 1 more.

Is the Ox 1 of the 4 🤔.

Underwhelming if that's the case. We're short at LB and RB cover is Ralston or Donovan the answer if Johnston has another long term injury? Need a better LW as Tounetki has no end product and Maeda is likely off. RW is Yang and Forrest going to be enough? Midfield needs major surgery especially if we are to lose Engels, Hatate, Nygren and Bernardo.
And we need a main ST. Rumour has it Iheanacho has maybe signed for another year. Is Iheanacho, Duran and Osmand going to be enough firepower for our toothless attack?

Promised at least 4 🤣🤣🤣 very good.

That is what the headline said but if you read the article. DD didn't promise anything and that is just Peter grants opinion. He said he thinks Martin O'Neil would have got assurances and that would have been 2 strikers, 1 midfielder and 1 centre back.

Our media-Celtic offered 1.7 m for Duran. Then it was 2.5m. Now it's 5 million 😆.

Steff thing is some can’t wait to come here and react to those reports when most time there made up.

We have ccv and nawrockl back I think the wings midfield and strikers has to be priority.

07 Jul 2026 16:35:22
Promised 4 players?
We need a hell of a lot more than that.
07 Jul 2026 10:58:19
Duran apparently left quarabag training and is on his way, medical tomorrow.

07 Jul 2026 14:38:50
Fee of 5.5 million being reported but I reckon that is not the real fee, which I believe is much lower. Think qarabag paid 200k for him last season.
If it is the real fee then I think we are overpaying and will. be interested to see if he is suited to Scottish football as he looked light weight. So is a bigger gamble.

I'm stunned that we have actually moved forward with this deal right now.
It wouldn't have surprised me if our incompetent boatd had waited until he played in Qurabags qualifier on Thursday which would have cup tied him for our playoff.
0
{Ed007's Note - There is no such thing as cup-tied in UEFA tournaments now, as long as the player is registered in time for the match. Duran could have played on Thursday for Qarabag and still been allowed to play for us in the Play-Off Round.}
07 Jul 2026 10:49:03
Heard a rumour elheanacho has signed a one year deal.

Would be delighted if this is true🤞.

Hope that’s just a rumour.
He done is cameo last year and that’s all he can offer.

If not for him iam not sure we'd have won the league.

Would rather have a player like Iheanacho being effective for 45 mins than a player who plays 90 mins and has no effect in games.
Lakaku of Belgium is an example of someone who normally only plays 45 mins but 9 times out of ten either creates or scores a crucial goal.
0
07 Jul 2026 16:41:36
He will be a great player coming off the bench for us.
He has already proven he can change and win games for us.
Just as long as we still bring in our No:1 Striker like Ed mentioned previously.

Celtic FC is delighted to announce that Season Tickets for the 2026/ 27 campaign have now completely sold out.
Following another successful Double-winning season, we saw an outstanding 99.5% renewal rate from existing Season Ticket holders.
Such was the incredible level of demand and commitment shown by supporters that fewer than 500 Season Tickets became available for supporters on the Season Ticket Waiting List.
In addition, we were pleased to offer a relocation opportunity to Season Ticket holders, with approximately 600 Season Ticket holders choosing to move to a new location within Celtic Park.
All Seasonal Hospitality packages are also sold out, so both supporters and the team on the pitch can enjoy the atmosphere of a full stadium across all four stands.
Thank you once again for your phenomenal support which means that the Bhoys will return next season in a bid to retain their title in front of packed Paradise.
We look forward to welcoming you back through the turnstiles at Celtic Park for our first game of the new Premiership campaign against Dundee on Monday, August 3 (KO: 7:30pm) .

What an extraordinary collection of syllables. This may be even more out of sync with reality than Ross Desmond’s unhinged classist dogwhistles.

07 Jul 2026 11:06:23
Most of those relocations were probably due to moving all the ultras together.
Reminded me of Priti Patel saying shop lifting was down during COVID. 🤣.
06 Jul 2026 12:51:34
Anyone else heard we’re announcing a new player today.

06 Jul 2026 18:57:20
Yeah, I heard its the lead singer of Del Amitri then we are going in for a loan offer for the drummer of that band The Big Country.

06 Jul 2026 19:49:14
Embarrassing 4 weeks till season starts no new players to bed in and we need about 5 minimum, oh and that pesky cl qualifier you know the one that gets you 40m.

With a few positions in need of urgent recruitment, plus players missing due to WC involvement added to some uncertainty over the futures of others, we are once again IMO poorly prepared and under-manned. Unfortunately, we have previous 'form' in dragging heals, low-balling and amateurish antics in our recruitment and nothing I have seen or heard is changing my apprehension. But who knows?
05 Jul 2026 14:02:44
According to PJD of Acsom, Duran will be announced on Wednesday just in time for us heading to Portugal.
Let's see how reliable his sources are.

05 Jul 2026 19:28:45
What position does he play?
0
06 Jul 2026 02:00:15
He plays left wing, right wing and number 9. The footage I watched showed him doing his best work on the right and cutting in. He is predominantly left footed.
4
06 Jul 2026 13:57:11
Multi positional and skilled left footer. Just what the doctor ordered. I'll believe when I see him holding the scarf aloft.
05 Jul 2026 10:49:08
Few rumours doing the rounds this morning that we're interested in Norweigan ST Tobias Lauritsen. Out of contract at Sparta Rotterdam and a solid target man. Obviously being on a free there is quite a few clubs interested in him.

Celtic taking part in not another penny it's seems.

Can't spend money, we have our accolade to keep.
04 Jul 2026 02:51:40
Hello people, so I am not exactly new to here (liked to see what people where saying and see how closely it lined up with what I know)
So it’s been a slow window as a lot of the players on our vast
Scouting lists across the leagues we have been active in have really not worked in our favour with many top targets not being available or heading elsewhere
Clubs done really well to keep most transfers quiet and we really want to be the first to announce stuff this season but obviously the random wee transfer will get out.
We lost out on some major targets but have been told some good wee players have been contacted and agreed on personal terms, just finishing up on the negotiations with the clubs
A player currently still at the World Cup and will be announced after there journey comes to an end
3 Irish lads being offered a trial
(2 Irish 1 Northman Irish)
Youth teams obviously but one of them looks like a proper player and I actually know one of them personally, good lad
A gk who will make the fans very happy… not long ago played in the latter stages of champions league… but is getting up there in age but as a goalkeeper he will have longer in his career to do well at us
2 players from Scandinavian leagues
1 Norwegian Lcb and 1 Swedish dm both young and as a fan of football who watches games from all over the place and have watched both, we are going to the next level with them
And we are looking at a good wee German attacker who is more of a now signing rather than a project
Looking at 4 players in the Portuguese league but only 1-2 likely to sign
A rb and a versatile attacker who played both flanks and as a 10 though out his career
Not really heard much about a striking option other than some Belgian league striker but the club view him as a backup option, not quite sure who the main option is, all I know is it’s someone from the mls, used to play in Europe
Only names I will give is
MATTEO DI GUSTO
RUKAS PUKSTAS
And mr JOSH DOIG.

These are the kind of rumours I love. Might be BS but gets you hopeful nonetheless. I just hope this isn't that mad man on another account that only pops up during the transfer window with outrageous posts (can't remember the name) 😂.

05 Jul 2026 13:27:06
People don’t seem to have a lot of faith in my information 😂😂 fair enough but we are a rich club and we do have a major plan this window as we see our neighbours and hearts strengthen massively.

Are you DD minus the tache? 😂😂.

If it doesn't impact initially just say it again!
03 Jul 2026 21:21:32
Hearing OX has signrd am going into hybernation can u do that in the summer.
2
03 Jul 2026 23:54:45
He will do a job after a good pre-season, a good back up to replace Hatate in the squad.
4
04 Jul 2026 10:00:35
Offered absolutely nothing in the run in. Had 5 months to get fit. Trained with Arsenal last pre season. He's done just more downsizing.
6
04 Jul 2026 16:29:26
Without his goal contributions we don't win the league. But shows the ambition of the board. Now not to slate Ox as he's had a good career but he was a late panic signing after the window was shut.
He ain't getting any younger and a lot of games just seemed to pass by him. I'd have hoped his place would have gone to a new arrival. Going to be another long, nail-biting window.
0
04 Jul 2026 10:14:42
Hi Ed, have you any info on what we was paying the Ox in wages? Only fee that seems to pop up is £55k. Surely that can't be right? And if he's extended his deal he would be on the same? Seems excessive for a bit part player who didn't impress.
I get that that only equates to £2.86m a season which isn't too much of an outlay when you think if we loaned a player you have a loan fee as well as wages on top.
0
{Ed007's Note - That £55k a week story has been going about since he came in mate, I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now. When he signed I was told that the money wasn't a factor, it was more the chance to sign for a club Celtic's size/prestige with a chance to prove himself.
What I did notice was that when we signed him in January there was a years option to extend it, we never done that and that clause/option would have expired at the end of June and it's been reported he has signed a "new one year deal" so, imo, even if he was getting the 55k a week Celtic wouldn't have offered him that in any new deal. I'd say he's on £25k- £35k a week maybe even depending on if he's fit and plays.}
0
05 Jul 2026 10:46:43
Thanks Ed. Either way those wages would probably still prove to be the financially cheaper outlay over a loan fee and decent wages to someone that we don't know what we're getting. If they're considerably lower then it's good all round.
03 Jul 2026 13:01:04
Also in other news Bournemouth have had a £21.4m bid rising to £25.7m accepted for Celtic linked Alvaro Rodriguez. Can rule that one out as never happening.
{Ed007's Note - There is no such thing as cup-tied in UEFA tournaments now, as long as the player is registered in time for the match. Duran could have played on Thursday for Qarabag and still been allowed to play for us in the Play-Off Round.}
