Celtic Transfer Rumours

21 Apr 2026 11:04:33
Hoffrnheim coch Christian IIzer been mentioned now, good credentials, not sure much truth in it but you nvr know.

21 Apr 2026 15:33:24
I just wish the board would decide who they want as manager for next season and make it happen. Who ever it is, decide make it happen before the end of the season, preferably before that so the new manager can maybe look at the players he is inheriting and start planning for what ever competition we will be in for Europe.

Portsmouth? I am sure have already got that sorted out Real Madrid have got it sorted out already also surly IF Celtic were run correctly we as a club can do the same?

21 Apr 2026 19:36:23
What if we want a manager already in a job?
Do you think they are going to want to discuss a new job a couple of weeks before the season ends. Not to mention the unnecessary distractions it would bring to the players.
This panty wetting over a new manager from some on here is doing my nut in.

{Ed007's Note - I'll throw this out there, yesterday I got a text saying that Thomas Frank had agreed to be our next manager and that there would be a letter included with ST renewal forms next week or the week after... my answer was 2 words, starting with F and ending with FF - but last night someone else put the same thing up on the Discord chat, and to be fair he had asnswred the same as me when he was told 🤷🏻‍♂️

We are all entitled to our own opinion DerryTim I respect your opinion. If you think the board is doing the right thing that's up to you, I have no confidence in the board to do the right thing and something like a manager is a big issue.

If it's someone in a job already I get it that we can't disclose who it is and I really really hope that is the case.

21 Apr 2026 22:47:08
Ed. without a word of a lie. I heard the same today. Probably utter tosh, but my reply was the exact same! No way!

{Ed007's Note - It's official.... we have a bone fide rumour!!!

22 Apr 2026 08:12:38
I'd bite your hand off for Thomas Frank. It might not have worked at spurs, I don't think there's many managers that could get a tune out that basket case of a club right now, but based on his time at brentford he's a manager who can recruit shrewdly, change tactically and develop players.

I think he'd do a good job for us. I can't see it happening though.

22 Apr 2026 08:03:51
Ed do you not fancy frank.

{Ed007's Note - He does have cracking hair..... and a rather impressive tactics board compared to what we're used to

22 Apr 2026 10:35:20
His hair is very impressive and much better than the sevco guys Barnet 🤣.

{Ed007's Note - 🤭😂

22 Apr 2026 14:58:11
Not for me Brentford seem to have kicked on since he left and that’s with the strikers getting sold and Norgaard.

22 Apr 2026 18:08:31
To be fair Brentford we're decent with him as well.

20 Apr 2026 15:36:25
Anyone know when Michael Nicholson will be giving us an update on the search for a new manager.

20 Apr 2026 19:34:04
Micheal Nicholson will do what The Desmond tell him.

20 Apr 2026 19:41:02
After the season is over hopefully. Last thing this team needs is further distractions.

20 Apr 2026 22:05:41
He'll probably appoint Nancy again for the last 3 games of this season.

20 Apr 2026 22:27:54
Ideal world

Martinez (Manager) and Maloney (Assistant)

St Martin moved up stairs

Darren Fletcher D. o. F.

21 Apr 2026 09:01:16
He will put a vague statement on a post-it note at yet to be determined location ( after the board liaise with each other via email, to decide where to display said note) If Dermot has given his seal of approval that the fans can be told anything.

21 Apr 2026 12:55:08
Martinez is a rubbish manager.

21 Apr 2026 17:19:21
I don’t rate him either.

21 Apr 2026 20:47:12
Nicholson will be replaced at the end of the season after the Nancy debacle he already offered to step down but because lawwell had already left he couldn’t leave his position something to do with how a company works u have to have a chief executive or whatever lawwell was in place u can’t have neither.

21 Apr 2026 21:59:13
Well please enlighten me what caliber of managers you wish for. Who and what structure would you refer.

That management dream team is best part of £140k a week including the back room staff.

22 Apr 2026 11:20:44
You must be at the wind up saint Martin.

23 Apr 2026 07:50:32
I'd be sorely disappointed with Martinez would rather keep MON on and don't feel that's the answer either. Whoever it is we need to spend and have a clear out. Would snap your hand of for TF.

17 Apr 2026 16:02:18
Martin saying osmand and AJ should be ready for the run in, massive boost at a good time.

17 Apr 2026 21:38:47
Not exactly sure what that means? Are they ready for next league match?

18 Apr 2026 08:55:14
Yep the run in.

Rumour Time

One of the Celtic Bloggers is going with this story today

The Genk manager Nick Hayen (a young and seemingly progressive coach) is on our radar to be next Celtic manager, apparently he was being looked at before Nancy
The Genk manager comes with a decent and growing reputation, he has Genk 3rd in Belgium good going for a small club, and he has won trophies at his previous club (Bruges? I may have got the club wrong but he has won in Belgium)

Yes he is relatively unknown, and yes he is a typical Board prospect ie CHEAP, but he may be worth looking at.

14 Apr 2026 12:53:04
His brugge team were a delight to watch Tim and I think we missed the boat with him, think his brugge team took 6 off sevco and it could have been more.

14 Apr 2026 14:50:57
Yeah a think it was 9:1 in aggregate.

14 Apr 2026 23:20:13
Not for me
Brugge like bodo glimt are a very well run club with excellent recruitment and strategy.
We should be looking at the people that run these clubs, not just the managers.
There is better out there.

15 Apr 2026 18:44:10
Nicky Hayen is quite well known and respected Coach.
He’s at Genk on a short term 6 month contract until the Summer.
I don’t think he will be cheap but still affordable.

16 Apr 2026 09:22:38
Definitely better than the low calibre of manger that has been linked with us so far.

Having been at a well ran club would he want to join Celtic given how well documented the club is poorly run.

11 Apr 2026 18:32:23
So Nygren is getting us a new record sale and our target is Alfie Devine on loan according to recent reports.

Based on MON January business, let’s not allow him to scout anymore players.

I genuinely feel next season will be more of what we are currently witnessing.

12 Apr 2026 17:41:02
Do you honestly think MON is a scout? 😂😂.

12 Apr 2026 19:32:46
He signed off on the players and said so himself so whether he went and watched them doesn’t matter. They are his signings.

12 Apr 2026 23:31:57
Give it a rest BBhoy. They were 10th maybe 12th choice signings, hence why they were signed on the last day. Do you think Oneill would have been happy with 5 desperate loan signings?

13 Apr 2026 10:02:18
If he wasn’t happy then he shouldn’t have agreed to sign them Derry Tim.

Only a yes man accepts the so called 10th or 12th choice signings which is utter nonsense to say.

And only an idiot would play a 10th or 12th choice striker when you need to win games and MON is no idiot.

We will never know if there was a list of players ahead of the rubbish we signed but I take MON on his word that these are the players he wanted or at least had the final say on.

13 Apr 2026 13:23:37
I agree.

If they weren’t his signings then he should have left the board to explain.

At least BR called it then left them to it.

13 Apr 2026 23:17:21
You came up with the same nonsense when rodgers was in charge, blaming him for the clubs transfer dealings.

14 Apr 2026 03:11:20
Derry Tim - nothing quite like getting things wrong.

I wasn’t even posting on this site when Rodgers was manager.

14 Apr 2026 23:15:35
Everyone knows you are bhoy88.

14 Apr 2026 23:50:54
Martin has no choice but to accept what the board came up with, he was making the same noises as Rodgers about signings so prob thought a need something so maybe one will work out.

15 Apr 2026 16:54:50
Well everyone must be clowns then Derry if that’s what they think.
