Don't know why everyone moaning ang greeting about signings.
This is best transfer window we have had in a long time.
The manager is hardly in the job and hopefully is here for a good while.
He was never going to build his whole team in one transfer window
Lake the old saying goes.
Rome wasn't built in a day.

30 Aug 2016 00:13:03
Deffo mate its looking like we'll stroll the league, and hopefully sign someone on deadline day, last few transfer windows I've spent watching and wishing for some from Celtic park, I think it'll be worth watching this time, Keep The Faith.

30 Aug 2016 01:00:57
I agree but I do feel we have Gamboa and a midfielder coming in. The midfielder could be anyone but I feel we can all trust in Brendan bringing in the man we need. He's seen every position that us fans seen needed strengthened and sorted it. Can't wait for the window to be shut and get right into the season, going to be amazing.

30 Aug 2016 01:10:44
Kev83 I couldn't agree more, his aim was to reduce the size of the squad and get quality into key positions .
He is actively doing that and doing it well.

30 Aug 2016 07:23:25
I do agree Kev. You certainly don't build a squad in one window. And this is a process. There's always that part of me wanting a bit more though, and I see gaps in the squad.

30 Aug 2016 07:45:10
and BR seems to be going for players he has worked with b4, love to see lucas brought in b4 tomorrow.

29 Aug 2016 23:03:55
Jack wilshere available on loan to get more 1st team games, with cl this would be good move for both and give us creative mid we need. Any thoughts?

29 Aug 2016 23:44:43
Heard he's a wee ned and that apart, has had a few injury problems.

30 Aug 2016 01:01:27
a few is being kind.

30 Aug 2016 01:12:23
Need to hire a bed permanently in the new hospital that opened last year.

29 Aug 2016 22:25:26
Revel Morrison would be an excellent signing! Perfect club to consistently get game time and play under a manager who is inspirational and will let him be himself. What BR did for Countinho and Suarez is unquestionable. Top club, great manager who believes in youth, fantastic stadium and fans and CHAMPIONS LEAGUE stage to show the world his ability. Lower premier league teams looking at him! haha He needs a proper stage and fighting relegation is not the answer! Sign him up.

29 Aug 2016 23:13:03
The guy is trouble everywhere he goes.
Every manager that signs him says if he keeps his head down works hard and keeps out of bother we will have some player on our hands.
Never happens though.

29 Aug 2016 22:06:55
Saw highlights from youth game against Kilmarnock and boyata caused 2 of the goals and players looked very annoyed at him went onto win 4-3 but if he's that bad for u21 he ain't a first team player.

29 Aug 2016 21:36:25
In my experience big Jack Charleton solved Ireland's leaking defence by playing a centre half as a defensive midfield . All of a sudden far superior International teams than R O I were reduced to sending in high balls into area as they could not pass their way through . Centre halves switched to midfield usually are very disciplined and don't usually wander out of position and usually play the simple pass .
We have a number on our books who could do the job Eric, O'Connell or MacCart .
We could have our dcm already on our books.

29 Aug 2016 22:13:03
Efe ambrose is actually at his best in that role and I'm not joking lol.

29 Aug 2016 22:28:25
The Andre Wisdom rumour rose it's head again today despite having a RB just about signed. And my thought was, is it possible that BR might consider him for that role. He can play both sides of the park so must be able to tackle and pass with both feet. Just a thought, not saying it's likely to happen lol.

29 Aug 2016 22:29:53
Also I seem to remember Caldwell switching to that role for Scotland, so your suggestion isn't unheard of.

29 Aug 2016 23:03:46
Ambrose is good at breaking up play in that position but his distribution is not good enough to be a cdm.

29 Aug 2016 21:29:09
Think if we sign gamboa we still need a cm and another striker a big target man. McCarthy would be great can't see it though.

29 Aug 2016 23:02:36
Think targets probably would've changed since BR took over but was we not after a targetman on loan from Belgium plays for Watford? See they've signed another striker so this lad will be 4th choice behind Deeny, Ighalo and now Okaka.

29 Aug 2016 21:15:28
Would love a CM and another ST before Wednesday!

29 Aug 2016 20:37:19
So guys is Gamboa the final signing, or does Brendan have one final surprise for all us Celtic fans before Wednesday.

29 Aug 2016 20:59:32
I may be greedy but I think we will have atleast one more in before the window closes.

29 Aug 2016 21:02:12
Assuming Gamboa is signed early tomorrow I think we will get one more in the remaining 36 hours or so. Is our deadline still 11 oclock or is it earlier now? Anyone know?

29 Aug 2016 21:04:34
If previous years are anything to do by then yes, and no :- ( HH.

29 Aug 2016 21:33:11
Midnight in Scotland

Hail hail.

29 Aug 2016 19:23:23
It is clear that BR wants pace. Nothing wrong with that, In fact very exciting will change the face of Scottish football. Imagine if he had Denayer and VVD at the back and Paul MacStay in midfield. IF this is the plan for the future we will terrify every team we meet including some in Europe.

29 Aug 2016 20:01:08
how many titles did we win when Paul McStay was captain.

29 Aug 2016 20:22:16
Digibanger. Paul McStay was one of the greatest players ever to wear the green and white hoops. He played with more donkeys than their are on Blackpool beach. I've never seen anything nearly in the same class in the middle of the park at Celtic since.

29 Aug 2016 20:38:02
I paid to watch it - and in all my time I don't recall him missing a pass - he was solid - but we didn't win a thing - best thing that happened was he hung up his boots and we then moved forward. Smacks like Arsenal Legend Ian Wright. what did they win went he was no 1 pick - nothing, he moved on and Thierry came thru.

Old good guys are old good guys but when they make way for winners.

I want winners over good guys any day

Another year of PMcS and they would have been signing Ten in a Row.

29 Aug 2016 20:41:34
Matt Le Tissier never won a title after a whole career at Southampton but was World Class. McStay alongside Burns my favourite Tims, What i'd give to see McStay play again. Celtic Legend, hardly his fault the Board at the time we buying the likes of Stuart Slater to play alongside him.

29 Aug 2016 20:43:04
Digi what a stupid comparison mc stay was class and to loyal he just was unlucky to have played when the club was a bit of a mess.

29 Aug 2016 20:52:35
Paul McStay was up there with legends like Lubo and the late great Bobby Murdoch the 3 of them could have walked into any of the great teams in the world, Frank McAvennie summed it up when he said "I never saw anyone get a bigger high than Paul McStay got just by playing for Celtic. "

29 Aug 2016 21:18:53
we all know what its like to get caught up in the passion of our club. But I've always seemed to keep level headed watching them.
The highs - and the lows. EG some of the rumours of Zlatan coming to CP because he said once.

things like that don't happen to us and its just delusional to even think it - its not even a dream - its a mad mans dream!

I am aware of McStays ability and the clubs circumstances at the time, I watched it and live thru it every Saturday.

I was at Jungles Last Stand (we want parrot) - I watched Danny McGrain play LB for Scotland against Yogoslavia (ask your dads kids) , I watched Tom Boyd - diving - to save the ball off the line with his hand against fcuk knows who.

But I for one was happy when we move on for life after mcstay - and its been a pretty good life since.

29 Aug 2016 21:22:00
What a moronic contribution. Paul McStay was incredible. When he was the captain the team and the club was in dire straits. Yet despite all that he had the guts to stay with us, when he could have moved to any number of clubs. I wish he was able to play now. If you think we got better because he retired you shouldn't bother watching football perhaps try Sesame Street on a Saturday.

29 Aug 2016 21:32:19
sorry if I've touched a nerve

just my humble opinion

and I paid every week to watch so recon i'm entitled to it!

As jimmy sanderson used to say - "were you it the game. "

I was.

29 Aug 2016 21:39:15
I was at the games too and bhoy you are so wrong on this one, indeed a McStay is the exact player we need now someone who could find Griffiths, Roberts and Sinclair with a pass,

Sorry Digi but this time you are wrong very wrong!

29 Aug 2016 21:43:57
Well said Grout64. Digibanger is entitled to his opinion. Just hope that the Maestro isn't reading his comments. If we found Paul McStay today we couldn't afford him.

29 Aug 2016 21:59:09
Digi we are all entitled to an opinion but u really need to wind your neck in pal! Disgraceful comments about a guy who shed blood sweat and tears for our club! Who played through all the years of the old ranges financial doping! Allowing them to equal 9 in a row! And he won 8 trophys with him in the team, including 3 titles! So he didn't not win a thing as u so stupidily said! Do aye u have touched a nerve, big time! There's players in our great clubs history who have earned the right never to be questioned, the lions tommy burns henrik and a few others! And the maestro is one of them! Like another poster said, this is a guy who could have moved on when the club was at its lowest ebb and the other lot were cheating there way to titles! But he stayed and fought for his club! But hey u were happy when he moved on!

29 Aug 2016 22:16:29
yes he won 4 titles - but not as captain - Roy Aitken was.

Just a quick question - would you describe you Captaincy as a success if you didn't win the title in the entire time of your tenure.

Gifted player - YES
Legend - hmmmm.

29 Aug 2016 22:34:21
Paul McStay was a very good midfielder, but to say that he was one of the greatest ever Celtic midfielders, just show you that you don't know what you are talking about, Paul was a good, solid, honest, Celtic to the heart player, but creativity was never anything I associated him with, and that is one thing s truly great midfielder must have.

29 Aug 2016 22:47:01
sorry again guys

it was dark days for us, I particularly being excited that Gary Gillespie signed from Liverpool. We got a Player in his prime from Engerland.

I remember back headers into the pay of on rushing strikers more than once.

Hey but that was then
1990-91 Paul McStay Nil
1991-92 Paul McStay Nil
1992-93 Paul McStay Nil
1993-94 Paul McStay Nil
1994-95 Paul McStay Scottish Cup
1995-96 Paul McStay Nil
1996-97 Paul McStay Nil
1997-98 Tom Boyd Scottish League, League Cup

This is now and exciting times.

29 Aug 2016 22:47:20
No he won 3 titles pal! At least if your going to come on and
Spout pish then get the facts straight! And did u not read the part about that mob across the city cheating there way to those titles! didn't matter who was captain, we still wouldn't have won them! And the fact u question Paul mcstays status as a Celtic legend makes me question that your a Celtic fan! Do players who are not legends get voted into there clubs greatest team of all time? A vote by the fans by the way! Which I seriously have my doubts u are!

29 Aug 2016 23:31:12
Aindoh I'm not the only one saying he's one our greatest midfielders! Thousands of fans voted him as one our greatest ever players! So I guess they don't know what they'r talking about either! And a midfielder has to be creative to be considered great! Away and don't talk pish! Keane and viera are 2 that spring to mind straight away
Who weren't creative players, were they not great player?
And I don't know what I'm taking about!

29 Aug 2016 23:33:28
I knew someone would question my timness - as if my opinion was less important because you want to have Paul McStays babies Wiss81.

My uncle was Peter Maley - recognise the surname - his Granfather was Wullie. so the club is actually in my blood!

I worked in the building at 213 Orr Street for 20 years.

I attended whole seasons of dross - including Jungles Last Stand and etc I could list thousands of incidents and events.

Highlighs - V St Johnston to win the league for the first time in 9 years. Every Henrik Goal.
Watching DiCanio/ PVH/ Andy Thom/ Cadette - home and away in the fecking cold rain and snow and sleet.

If you think I'm a blue nose - just go and look at the top 2 posts in Servo page.

What I am is a Celtic Fan not afraid to tell it how it is, not to be blinkered by the floodlights and to realised that Paul McStay won NOTHING as celtic captain -

if that's the level of success you want, you are seriously sounding not like a celtic fan.

When we finished 5th in the league - were they all cheating?

Again In my Very Humble Opinion - Paul McStay - a very very talented footballer was too SOFT to be an effective captain. and that added to our misery - Christ TOM BOYD stepped up and we won! and he's a pussy cat too.

30 Aug 2016 00:02:10
Hahahahaha! Aye nae bother! The club is in your blood! I can't even argue anymore wae that! U batter in mate hahahaha! Belter.

30 Aug 2016 00:05:13
"Thousands of fans voted him as one our greatest ever players! "

and 200 wouldn't even buy his book

So if success is not measured by titles - then how is it measured.

One club man - great but not successful
Solid player - great but not successful
blood sweat and tears - great but not success

it was even the fact that we were runners up to cheats as suggested. we were not second - for SEVEN consecutive years.

I measure success by success - hey but what do I know, I hope the current team is successful by winning stuff - not by being 1 club men, solid and BS&T.

30 Aug 2016 00:17:27
great banter wiss

woke the mods up

:P.

30 Aug 2016 01:48:38
What a shame digi all that time standing in the jungle and you didn't know what you were watching. Just out of interest were you facing the pitch. Do you know why the financially doped rangers didn't thrash us game after game when we had hopeless players and managers. Paul McStay that's why! I watched him play them almost himself and I thanked God he was in our team. No more of this nonsense please for your own sake it's just plain rubbish.

30 Aug 2016 08:21:50
I also disagree with the assessment of McStay, but, I respect that done don't. Can't understand it but it's somebody's opinion. To question his loyalties over that is a bit harsh and us a default position I hate.

He might be talking pish, which I think he is. But he has the right. Show me a man or woman on here who hasn't at some point.

I read half the posts on here and scratch my head and know people do the same with mine. It's fitba.

30 Aug 2016 11:41:16
I am not saying PMcS wasn't loyal, hard working, talented, skilful, and one hundred other words to praise him.

I am just saying I don't think he was an effective captain - in fact read the stats we was the worst captain in Celtics history.

I agree with everyone about his ability and loyalty - my point is during his tenure we didn't win a thing - all things considered that's a failure.

29 Aug 2016 22:15:12
So was I, whilst I will always defend youryour right to espouse your opinion, I would question your memory. McStay was and always will be a truly talented Celtic man in what were really dire times. Catch up with some of the Video clips of the time and see who was playing with and the SFA and pre Sevco era. Just sayin.

29 Aug 2016 22:38:52
correction he won 3 titles not as cptn and we finished outside the top 2 for 7 consecutive seasons.

Im just looking at the official stats now as I just remembered the dark days - wish I hadn't started reading all this.

it was bad - worse than I remembered. I think he wouldn't consider his captaincy a success and I think we all agree.

29 Aug 2016 18:16:51
As in I'm "here to win things" absolute ballock you signed for cash and a relegation battle.

So with that being said people should appreciate what we are doing on our budget, and be delighted with what we have brought in so far.

29 Aug 2016 19:35:50
Who said that?

29 Aug 2016 19:59:51
Anytime anyone joins a smaller club in English prem they come out with the tripe even sevco signings were saying instead of saying they are signing for the cash they say either " massive club" or I'm here to win things".
You don't seem to understand what I was trying to get across ( my bad for pressing send by accident) was trying to say if any player wanted to improve themselves/ prove themselves/ are genuine about ball and not cash, we are an attractive offer. We're as it's all about cash and fickle footballers.
I like the lads we brought in so far and they look genuinely happy (bar you're in his launch photo ha ha)

29 Aug 2016 22:14:12
All this talk about legends like lubo and mc stay what about the other legends like the one and only larsson Sutton hartson they are all up there with the best to come through paradise.

29 Aug 2016 18:14:32
players I think could do a job for us James McCarthy. Ravel Morrison, Lazio want him away could be a great creative player, attitude only problem . could come here play great get a move back to epl . ikechi anya, back up to Tierney or if we go 3 at the back a quick wing back for counter attacks, him and gamboa on the other side when play away in Europe, plus he s Scottish, need a few in the squad. Mcgeady maybe comes back and finds is form and he's a celtic fan, need a few in the team . still think we need another forward, and a box to box hard as nails midfielder, need legs in there, game on Saturday showed that's the weakest part of the team, all one paced . going to needat least 22 good players to get us thru the season playing in all competitions .

29 Aug 2016 19:15:01
Been saying for months about morrison mate, would rather we brought in an experienced DM now rogic is playing well.

29 Aug 2016 20:03:59
absolute no to McGeady
has his time, fighting with his team mates on the pitch
he
would be a huge step backwards - so leave Sinclair on the bench to play him?

29 Aug 2016 20:38:38
God no, but Sinclair and Roberts will need a rest at some point if we are in all comps . Will need depth in the squad to help out so we can at least try and win the treble, as well as hopefully doing good in the champs league . Maybe if he comes home he ll feel he has a point to prove and recapture is form from a few years ago ( good few ) could probably get him on loan or a small fee so Everton get him off the wage bill . Just thinking about players who might be cheap and have something to prove .

29 Aug 2016 20:48:09
No to McGeady.

29 Aug 2016 21:15:28
The thought of Mc Geady signing for us again doesn't excite me .
I cannot see what he has to offer now, if he has anything, he is keeping his talent well hidden lately.

29 Aug 2016 21:25:28
I agree with you sentiment - but just not him

to me its just like saying hooper, watt,

we need to find the next McGeady/ Hooper etc

love it or hate it we are still a club that can only occasionally buy the finished article - we still need to take a punt on "out of favour"

29 Aug 2016 22:24:06
Morrison clearly has a honking attitude or something along those lines. Another player who believed the hype, but has done nothing to back it up. He's played about 20 games in the last 3 years.

Everyone was doing their nut when Ballotelli was mentioned. He's akin.

It's like Berahino. They want 20 mil for a player who's doing the square root of hee haw. But I digress.

29 Aug 2016 16:06:32
We don't need a 'marquee'.
We need a team,
Teams win trophies
Robbie Keane was a marquee who does not have a league medal.

29 Aug 2016 16:47:06
Though the team failed that year robbie didn't. Score something like 15 goals in 20 for us.

29 Aug 2016 18:06:46
Not the important ones to win the league though.

29 Aug 2016 18:59:15
One man doesn't make a team.

29 Aug 2016 20:38:10
Maybe so but truly great players make the difference between winning a title and being second.

29 Aug 2016 21:16:58
We can maybe get Robbie now as he has retired from International Football.

29 Aug 2016
New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, Lee Wallace is a grsss

29 Aug 2016 13:03:34
Was reading an article on one of the Celtic sites about the fixtures. Basically, this article said if the "random" fixtures were fixed to ease the new club back into the big league and give them a nice points cushion before meeting us then it has backfired.
Why has it backfired, well the new club are mince, and Brendan has transformed Celtic and given the whole club and fans a lift, even scheduling the first Celtic-Sevco game for immediately after the international break, in the hope our international players would be tired, has backfired also.
Look at Celtic on Saturday, after a nerve shattering game in the heat and humidity in Israel, then a 6 hour flight home, yet we still had enough in our tank to see off Aberdeen our nearest challengers.
If (sorry WHEN) we win against Sevco we will open up a 4 point gap with a game in hand, and have at least the same points difference ahead of Aberdeen and Hearts, it should give us a nice wee cushion to enjoy our difficult CL games and not worry about our Scottish opposition on return.

29 Aug 2016 14:44:07
I'm afraid I'm not convinced by these dodgy fixture theories. An easy start for them and a difficult start for us will end in a difficult run in for them but an easy run in for us so there's no advantage gained by either club. We've had a difficult opening to the season without doubt and we've come through it with flying colours. That should be a cause foor good spirits and celebration, not finger pointing and accusations of bias. Some of our supporters are just never happy unless they've got something to complain about or fight against.

29 Aug 2016 14:49:53
It would seem that the opening fixtures - were as random as my next 'All-Bran shite' as we have played the second, third and fourth placed teams from last term, while their four games could have been hand-picked by loaf-heid himself.
Scott Brown retiring from Scotland duty is also a bonus for us that they probably never foreseen and although the CL will soak up a lot of mental and physical effort, our players have had to deal with being the sole 'ambassadors' in Europe for years and here we are going for yet another consecutive title.
With the possibility of another decent player or two this week, it seems to be a very good time to be a Green-yin.

29 Aug 2016 15:22:51
Kev the league splits after 3 games each so really they have had a cushion start wither it was fixed or not I am not sure but they have had a easy start no disrespect to the teams they have played already but none of them are likely to make the last games of the season with us.

29 Aug 2016 15:58:21
Tony I agree that we'll probably not see a Hamilton or a Kilmarnock after the split, that's fair enough, but we will play these teams at some point and when we do, Sevco will need to play the Aberdeens and the Hearts of the league. My point was that an easy start will lead to harder games further down the line so in my opinion there's no advantage.

29 Aug 2016 16:04:25
@Timalloy - flag protest is the way forward. I've heard the fixture guy uses a Dell computer so plenty of flags with an Apple logo on them should get your point across!

29 Aug 2016 17:19:45
We all know its fixed and we know about the biased refereeing too but the thing is we will still walk the league because we are good enough to beat whoever we play in whatever order.

29 Aug 2016 21:26:47
Kevbhoy I would have more faith in your believe that there wer no funny carry on over the fixtures . Some time ago you claimed that the Scottish referees were above reproach and were as honest and impartial as one could expect .

Sevco and the SFA knew the importance of Sevco having a good start to keep their hoards happy and prevent civil disorder.

29 Aug 2016 08:15:45
Alright lads, a lot of posters on here going on about marquee signings etc, but not a lot saying who they would like to see, If we finish this window with lucas leiva that would do me, Over to you chaps, i'd like your opinion also Ed.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not interested in so called marquee signings, one man's marquee signing is another mans diddy.
If Rodgers is going to play 3 at the back in Europe we'll need a right-sided wing back, our only realistic option there is Lustig and he'll be the RCB in the back 3 until at least Simunovic is fit.
We also need another striker brought in but that could be a problem, if LG gets injured all we've got is Dembele and Ciftci and I can't see us forking out millions on a sub or LG understudy.
I'm in 2 minds whether we need a CAM as it could be a big gamble to rely on Rogic staying fit.}

29 Aug 2016 13:14:24
Ed

I know you told me to lay off him but I put the blame for this marquee nonsense squarely on Skinnybhoy and his "mole".

He started it with all this "if we qualify we will sign a big name" nonsense and I bet the reason why was he thought we wouldn't qualify and he could use that as a excuse why it never happened.

I told him at the time he was building up hopes and people were going to be left disappointed. Now every post on here is talking about marquee signings.

Shame on you skinny!

{Ed007's Note - That's a but harsh lol Skinny is only passing on rumours and I doubt it's because of him social media has been talking about marquee signings as well.}

29 Aug 2016 13:21:01
A said to you three weeks ago Ed the squeak I heard was the two signings were a GK and a RWB like Flannigan or Jackie Mac 48hrs later DDV waltzes in a believe that is the other position mate are you thinking or hearing that? (y)

{Ed007's Note - I got up to a text earlier this morning that WBA's Cristian Gamboa is due in Glasgow today....

29 Aug 2016 14:11:11
Oofr twice in wan week mate that your are up in the morning 😊 must be something in that water out there (y)

{Ed007's Note - It's a busy week for us this week so I was up mega early - about 11:20 :=D

29 Aug 2016 15:31:27
Ed

After you he seems to be the most powerful man on this forum. Guys asking him for updates, asking him if players are any good and even defending his record of zero info supplied that wasn't already in the media or mentioned here already.

To be fair if he wasn't here I would have to find something else to moan about.

29 Aug 2016 15:22:42
Ed was wondering your thoughts. When we are full squad, we know BR likes 3 at back so what about a Toure, Sevch, Svic? Would think that's our strongest back 3 and close to the best we have had. Is this wise to play them as back 3? With KT in but not sure how it will work with right back position.

{Ed007's Note - If Simunovic is fit I don't see why Lustig can't play as RWB in Europe - the wing-back will be doing a lot more defending than attacking.}

29 Aug 2016 12:22:30
Can't see mcarthay comin here. Would be good but very unlikely.

29 Aug 2016 09:22:11
This Gamboa from WBA looks perfect right back. Lightning fast! heard he's the fastest RB in the world according to youtube clips.

Aye but can he defend? No point in being fast if your defending is pish! We've already got janko for that! 😆😆.

Not necessary so, if he has shown the opponent 's wide left player a clean pair of heals a few times early on , he won't be attacked by the same ferocity as a tough tackling stay at home right back.

M Debuchy from arsenal?, good RB was great wi newcastle, not in wengers plans, worth a punt?, i'd take him in a heartbeat.

Good shout mate and he has been looking for a transfer for a while, however read today that an injury will stop him from passing a medical anywhere unfortunatly. or would of been perfect.

I think our only other signing we will make is Danny inns. That's the only position we are short of cover for imo.

are we short tho? griffiths dembele sinclair can play there, all depends if he plays 1 up top, ings won't be coming to us.

Wouldn't mind a punt on Jordan Rhodes before the deadline! Maybe loan with an option to buy! The lad ain't getting no game time at Boro unused sub again today! I still feel we're short up front should either Griff or Dembelle pick up an injury! Ciftci is our only back up.
