On my Christmas list
Gallacher

Should have had Marshall and Dykes also.

Not based on last night but every time we played Livi he ragged dolled us and Marshall was a no brainer to replace Gordon. Better than Bain all day long.

14 Nov 2020 00:56:40
Dykes is definitely one that got away. You can see in the international games he is able to step up.

14 Nov 2020 08:40:30
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
If we would have signed those 3 players in the summertime there would have been an out cry.
Rightly or wrongly the club would have been accused of penny pinching.
Looking at there scotland performances however they would have done us a turn.

14 Nov 2020 10:25:42
Chinks I agree mate. Dykes would of linked up well with Griffiths/ Ajeti.

Marshall should of been signed.

14 Nov 2020 10:43:12
Another belter by the Celtic Rumours anti football brigade. Lyndon Dykes is a poor footballer. Yes he can jump and win headers. Yes he can hold the ball up but that's ok for a long ball type team.

Celtic play football on the ground he would be usless. Also his goal scoring record is very poor. Maybe a hand full but never a player.

Mind the time you all told me we don't need a CH to play football. We need a nonsense ball winner. Yip that worked out good.
Football has moved on its not the 80s anymore. Educate yourselves.

14 Nov 2020 11:40:37
Dykes and gallagher nowhere near good enough for us. Both very average players. Marshall is a decent goalie but we could do better.

14 Nov 2020 12:17:38
So after a few good games for Scotland and against us, some fans would have liked us to go from Dembele - eddy - Dykes . If that’s not downsizing or penny pinching I’m not sure what is . Dykes is hardly pulling up trees in the championship 🙈.

14 Nov 2020 12:26:27
If we had signed dykes Scotland wouldn't have qualified.
He'd still be waiting to start a game for us and not in Scotland squad.

14 Nov 2020 12:40:11
Agree with some of the lads. Gallagher, dykes and Marshall on the Christmas list! is that where we are at now! Surely we need better than these guys! Massive pat on the back to the 3 of them for Thursday nite but it’s no for me!

14 Nov 2020 13:06:57
Apparently every signing now needs to have a foreign name 🙈 put it this way would you rather spend 3m on Klimala or Dykes?

14 Nov 2020 13:25:29
To those who are saying we missed out on Marshall couldn’t have read what he said prior to Thursday nights game “it was never close to happening I wanted to play at the highest possible level so I signed a two year deal with Derby” . I think the championship in England is much better than our top league, just my opinion and we would struggle to get out of it .

14 Nov 2020 13:33:17
We need to calm down a bit here as I think the euphoria from the Scotland match is affecting our judgement, standards and ambition. Can I also add that Steve Clarke does not want to be our manager as he is very wary of the sectarian sideshow that other managers have had to endure and tolerate over the century.
One thing I would take from what I've seen of the aftermath of their game and result - is the moral, team spirit and fight that they have and I have really missed at Celtic in recent months.

14 Nov 2020 15:24:52
Celtic Mad calls it correct as usual.

14 Nov 2020 16:59:58
Celtic Mad.
Spot on and great points.

14 Nov 2020 17:55:22
Ninja by your wisdom the likes of bergkamp are also rotten strikers because they have a poor goal scoring record? Pmsl

A good striker doesn't always score barrel loads of goals, they do all the hard graft and set their striking partner up.

14 Nov 2020 19:26:45
Dennis bergkamp had a poor goal scoring record! Don’t think so 😆😆.

14 Nov 2020 20:36:28
It's Denis Bergkamp, not Dennis, his father named him after Denis Law.

14 Nov 2020 20:54:09
With the crosses we have been putting into the box this season he’d have to stand on hen broons shoulders to get anywhere near them.

14 Nov 2020 22:12:12
Take a bow aindoh, finally you have got something right! Good for you 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.

14 Nov 2020 22:14:49
I am of course kidding aindoh! It is Dennis! Aww well you were nearly right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

16 Nov 2020 14:21:16
Big Buds,
Not every player has to have a foreign name. Very narrow minded answer. Celtic is full of Scottish player's. Scottish player's that can play football are fine.
Ever who pays £3 million for either Dykes or Kilmala needs sacked. Both players bought for a lot less. None of them are good enough for Celtic.

16 Nov 2020 18:44:46
🤣🤣🤣Berkamp scored 238 senior goals. Dykes has 29 wee bit to go before he's is poor as Berkamp.

13 Nov 2020 16:40:45
The Norway captain has tested positive for C. V.
Elyounoussi and Ajer are waiting on their test results and the outcome of who’s to isolate.
If they both have negative results and they’ve been social distancing, they will be okay.
It’s constant drama.

13 Nov 2020 17:42:04
After the last International Interruption it was crystal clear that the precautions, safety and protection of all the playerswas not as stringent or rigid as our own regime at Celtic.
We half-expected more of the same, because of the amount of players we had sent all over the world and into risky danger zones.
Another decimated squad would be a huge handicap in a campaign already, hindered with injury, CV and other well documented events.
If we overcome all the hurdles, problems and obstacles that have been there since just after opening day, it will be a miraculous triumph. Feck these Internationals btw.

13 Nov 2020 19:17:18
players aren't social distancing when they are around each other who are they trying to kid. last nights celebration videos from players own social media show that. how daft are these players fair enough it was a great night for the country but to post that is just stupid.

13 Nov 2020 20:37:10
Why? They are all tested before the game. Saying that the Croation lad played for 45 minutes and he had it, so why aren't the full Croation team not told to isolate? They all were next to him in the line up for the national anthem and on the park and in the dressing room. The rules are ok for some and not for others.

13 Nov 2020 13:13:41
Leigh Griffiths has made a statement and apologised to Lafferty about the misunderstanding on social media.
He never liked a photo because Kyle’s sister had died. That’s just crazy.
He liked the photo because Ireland got beat and Scotland won. Plain and simple.
As usual the Sevco fans want to twist things and make Leigh out to be the bad guy.
Leigh feels himself he’s done nothing wrong and it’s been blown out of all proportion.
My response to a thread yesterday is it’s uncool to mention a spouses lust on more than one occasion to score cheap points.
If you want to have a go at Leigh Griffiths for his behaviour, then I suggest you look in the mirror.
Watch you don’t get a fright.
Zombies can be scary.

13 Nov 2020 13:30:47
The same horrible mob who have sung about the bhoys mental health and hoping he doesn’t play football again! Actually angers me that he’s had to come out and apologise for this! He was having a laugh at the fact lafferty (who’s a clown) and his country failed to qualify! Nothing to do with his poor sister who sadly passed! U have to be not right in the head in the first pace to suggest he meant anything other than to have a laugh at NI not qualifying! But those horrible sods sink to new levels just to shout and scream and be offended!

13 Nov 2020 15:55:06
Buzz I’ve been busy all day decorating and haven’t heard anything that’s been happening can you enlighten me regarding Griffiths and the other chap.

13 Nov 2020 16:30:15
Oldkilly
There was a picture of Kyle Lafferty crying after their defeat last night on social media.
Leigh Griffiths Liked the picture.
Now the Sevco fans are going mental because Kyle’s sister died a few days ago.
Their twisted minds reckon Leigh was mocking Lafferty’s sisters death, which is madness.
Because of all the backlash, Leigh has since came out and defended himself.
He said he liked the picture because N. Ireland got beat and Scotland won and there was nothing more sinister in it.
Leigh feels he hasn’t done anything wrong but is very sorry that Lafferty’s sister had passed away.
Leigh has since stopped his Twitter account.

13 Nov 2020 17:48:25
Thanks Buzz they are easily annoyed, if they don’t win anything this season they will have to call out the coastguard with all the flooding from their tears.

13 Nov 2020 18:13:37
I honestly don't understand how anyone can be that stupid to think he was mocking his sister. Only a total moron would come up with that. They are calling griff "sick"but it was their "sick" minds that came up with it.

13 Nov 2020 18:27:08
It’s terrible what’s happened to Kyle Lafferty’s sister.
But they shouldn’t be calling people ‘sick’ due to a misunderstanding.
Did these same morons call sleazy Lafferty ‘sick’ when he was caught sending innocent young ladies photos of his private parts?

13 Nov 2020 18:29:21
Evil thinkers are Evil doers.

13 Nov 2020 20:39:30
They have some nerve after one of their own asked Scott Brown how his sister was.

13 Nov 2020 08:36:41
Thought Declan Gallagher played well last night ex youth player KT and McTommany looked no better at the back McBurnie lamppost of a player why he is anywhere near the squad I'll never know. big shout out for the Griff you can only imagine the grief he would have got had he missed. Not much of a spectacle but I did enjoy it a lot of current and ex Bhoys in the team HH.

13 Nov 2020 10:00:58
The starting 11 to man were outstanding. We should've cantered it in the 90 mins.

13 Nov 2020 10:04:42
Mist of the starting 11 had some connection or other to the champs and Gallagher would sign in a heart beat.

13 Nov 2020 12:46:43
what a job steve clarke does with his teams to a man his players know there jobs he's also a great tactician imagine the tune he would get out of a team of international players if he was with them day in day out.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 13th November 2020

13 Nov 2020 06:28:45
Brilliant result last night, I don't normally watch Scotland but the wife wanted too as it was an important game so we were delighted when Christie put Scotland 1 up and depressed when Serbia scored to draw level, we watched ET but neither of us could watch penalties, well done Scotland you have done really well the first time since 1998 that Scotland have qualified for a major tournament. Well done again. Good luck at the Euros.

12 Nov 2020 23:11:56
The world's a strange place dykes plays in the championship and big Ollie the carthorse plays in the epl verý strange.

13 Nov 2020 06:31:23
I don't watch Scotland but the wife and myself watched last night and were really impressed with the boy Dykes. I think he won everything in the air. Calmac dominated the middle of the park, Scotland as a whole dominated Serbia from start to Finnish.

13 Nov 2020 09:30:09
Remember McBurnie cost £20m and Dykes £2m as well. McBurnie is an incredibly poor mans Crouch. He also shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a professional football team until he wears big boy socks.

13 Nov 2020 11:09:14
McBurnie is a huge sevco fan hence his reason for not taking part in his teams pre match huddle pretty sad.

13 Nov 2020 11:42:20
Couldn't get on a pitch with your socks down. Even stop the game on occasion to get you to pull them up. It eventuates his gangly without direction running style.

12 Nov 2020 23:04:39
Well done Scotland for qualifying for the Euros.
I thought Clarke got out of jail after his horrendous substitutions.
He severely weakened the side by bringing on John Aldridge and 2 blue noses.
I didn’t realise Scotland are now in the same group as the Auld Enemy.
Tonight was the first time they have beaten the Republic of Ireland in a friendly since 1985 and they still haven’t won a competitive game against the Republic of Ireland since 1980.
I just hope our Scotland heroes can continue that feel good factor when they return to play for Celtic next week.

13 Nov 2020 06:32:33
I think Scotland has a game on Sunday and another or Wednesday.
