I was bored tonight after starting to watch the Man City game I decided to check out the Sevco game. They are so dross I cannot find the words to describe them. The reason though of my post is the tackling of the Motherwell centre half Cedric Kipre. He is definitely going to seriously injure a player by the end of the season. I'm all for players being solid but he is nasty and cynical.

There’s more than just him that’s nasty and cynical! Team full of hatchet men! Some of there challenging is nothing short of a disgrace! I’m all for getting stuck in but what they get away with is a joke!

Ed, Is there any chance Celtic will recall Ryan Christie from his loan at Aberdeen now that Hayes has been officially ruled out for the rest of the season? That many games coming up squad depth is a must. HH.

{Ed007's Note - I can't see Christie being recalled, Michael, more likely Johnston will cover for Sinclair.}

27 Dec 2017 19:51:11
No bother ed, just thought wee Johnstone looked a bit light for the first team yet so thought Christie would of been an option 👍.

{Ed007's Note - They seem happy enough to have him on the bench and Christie's better playing than coming back to be cover and sit on the bench.}

Ed the Hamilton game has been called of because of a frozen pitch or so it says on sky's score centre app. Have Hamilton not got a plastic pitch? A thought that was playable in all weather? Have sky got it wrong? A know it's nothing to do wae us but since you've got a soft spot for them a thought u mite know.

Will Mosonda loan be put into practice now Hayes is out? Plus in your opinion Eds will MD be off this window?

{Ed007's Note - I've always said I expect Dembele to leave in the 2018 summer window and nothing's happened so far to make me change my mind.}

With the news of Hayes out any up date on Wee Paddy and how his recovery is coming back on?

Wae the news of Hayes out any up date on Wee Paddy and how his recovery is coming back on?

{Ed007's Note - I've not heard.}

Wee Mickey looks a top player, but there is no question he hasn't the physicality yet. With Paddy out and now Hayes, who I don't think can cut it anyway, it gives him a chance to toughen up getting blootered about.

I have high hopes for him though. Just needs to increase his core strength to be able to fend off challenges. In the second half he faded and was out muscled at every turn.

The January Transfer window is a pain. I often wonder how many teams (especially with the monopoly money down south) buy players just to weaken the opposition and not to strengthen their own squad?
From a Celtic stance, I get concerned (again, because of the stupid money) that teams in the relegation zone start looking at our players to strengthen their team in the dog-fight.

I don't think Christie is ever going to play a prolonged role for Celtic . It could be argued that loaned once to Aberdeen maybe beneficial to Celtic and Christie . Loaned twice and it's obviously an opportunity to put him into shop window and hope someone buys him.
I am sure D D would look at the bill for coaching and improving footballers at Lennoxtown and wonder why the hell we would send the same player back to Aberdeen to be coached by inferior coaches.

Mourinho spends £300 million and states it is not enough to challenge in EPL and Europe. disgusting state of afairs football is in.

27 Dec 2017 19:53:31
TinyTim, Mourinho is a disgusting person full stop. Always comes across as a very arrogant man and never complements a team that beats his.

28 Dec 2017 11:37:55
GT10, you are correct. Team wins HE did a great job. Team loses - it's everybody's fault from the Directors, referees, players, ball-boys, team doctors and the tea-lady.

Has VVD improved 5 fold since he left us to deserve £75M transfer fee. I hate the English market so inflated and overrated.

27 Dec 2017 17:58:51
Reports online say Celtic are due 15% of any Virgil transfer fee and if he is sold for £70m our cut will be over £8m, do you know how true these reports are?

27 Dec 2017 18:24:46
I'm sure it's 10% of profit . So we sold for 13 mill? So 62 mill profit = so 6.2 mill to us?

27 Dec 2017 18:32:25
Apparently it's 10% of the profit made so £75m less the fee they paid us. around £6m ish.

27 Dec 2017 18:36:47
if it is £75m with a 15% sell on clause, we will get £10.5m
if we get all that money to buy new players, we can get 35 Lubo's or 16 Henriks.
on the other hand though, it could get us 5 bangura's and a cifti.

27 Dec 2017 18:39:23
thought it was 10%? Either way it will be a nice wee windfall for us. Let's hope the board pump it in to the team and not the hotel complex which is already budgeted and funded.

27 Dec 2017 21:11:52
It will be 10% and half of that goes to his agent. The remaining cash goes to the 35 million owed to the co-op.

27 Dec 2017 14:34:40
Bobby Madden to referee our game against Sevco. No doubt, another stone wall penalty we won't get.

27 Dec 2017 15:49:21
And a rather dubious one they'll get I suspect.

27 Dec 2017 16:57:07
It was a certainty that hun would get this game - just like last season when they were in total disarray and crumbling - so he cheated them into a point. Mind you, I am thinking more about what the orcs will do to the toilets and seating, trying to downgrade our stadium to their own social standards.

27 Dec 2017 17:26:20
Has Madden ever done a game where we beat them?
