Ray a fantastic player I was gutted when he went to Liverpool for what £480,000? But I always remember Liverpool won the league when he was manager and Celtic won the league as well either the same day or thereabouts. The reporter pointed it out to him and his reply always stuck in my mind -words to the effect ‘Whit are you telling me that fur I’m the Liverpool manager’. So never seen him as a man who ever had Celtic at heart.

440 it was, he was made captain in hope he would stay.

07 Jan 2021 22:59:18
Would you rather have a player who had Celtic at their heart, I can think of one or two at the minute, or a player like Kenny, who was the best player, I ever seen playing for Celtic, and it was £440,000.

After his time at Celtic with John Barnes, he was finished in my eyes.

07 Jan 2021 18:38:13
If benkovic is fit getting him back for me is a no brainer. He's clearly not in Leicester's plans and he's proved here before he can play up here easy.

07 Jan 2021 18:52:05
1 game all season must be super fit get him signed up to play a game or 2 for us.

In response to GGGG
Before we lost to Sevco in October,
Celtic under Neil Lennon had won 33 games out of a possible 36 domestic games.
The majority of the players we still have were part of that run.
Now that we’ve found a system that works,
Celtic are more than capable of going on a fantastic winning run.
Two of those games we didn’t win were on the plastic pitches at Livingston and Kilmarnock.
But we’ve found out we need to play 2 up front on these surfaces to create the chances we need to win.
Baz Fergie might be on to something
“No Whit A Mean”.

Since Sevco lost at home to Hamilton in March.
They are currently on a run of 22 wins from 25 domestic games.

07 Jan 2021 14:58:32
If preparation for next season doesn't start this month, our slim chances of qualifying for the Champions League will disappear.

It is possible that we could win 18 out of the 19 remaining games and Rangers slip up 5 times but there's not a lot of evidence to suggest it will happen so we need to be realistic.

Clear out should begin now, everyone I've spoken to are over losing 10IAR. Winning the league next year and getting the automatic CL spot in 22/ 23 is imperative now.

07 Jan 2021 15:39:27
As long as it's mathematically possible we will compete 100%. However, I am sick fed-up of consecutive poor preparation and last minute quick fix transfers every year for qualifiers we perennially falter at, against teams we realistically should beat.
TRIFC 2012 have had much less experience, quality or resources, but have made great progress in two years of European football.
The current Board are repeat offenders when it comes to complacency, hesitation and stubbornness - verging on incompetence and that is why we are where we are right now.
This is not a slight hiccup or a run of bad luck, it's the result of very poor planning, realization, anticipation and keeping ahead of your rivals with intelligent, prompt action.
We must have no more smugly looking backwards, shrugging their shoulders and burying their heads in the sand hoping for the best.

07 Jan 2021 16:02:07
We win all our games that includes two against Sevco. That means one loss and one draw for them other than thst and it's 10. If we can't defeat them twice it's a but rich to expect anyone else to. I think over the 20 they have, we can beat them twice, depending on this window sorting the defence. and they clowns will drop points hooefully starting at the Dandies.

07 Jan 2021 16:21:14
Sevco have 4 games coming up with 3 away against Aberdeen Motherwell and Hibs so hopefully they drop a few points and we go on a winning run.

07 Jan 2021 17:38:13
Well be deducted C.V. related points to balance that out.

07 Jan 2021 18:48:38
Null and Void the season if they dared! 😂.

07 Jan 2021 19:30:17
Beaton, Collum, Madden, Baby Dallas, McLean and Ross will have the vast majority of their fixtures btw.

07 Jan 2021 20:15:12
OAB
Sevco are on a run of 14 league wins in a row and the 6 officials you’ve mentioned above have played a part in 11 of those games.
Alan Muir has also been the referee in one of the other matches and he’s worse than the 6 mentioned.
It seems to be if you write a letter of complaint, you get to pick and choose who will Not be allowed to referee your game.
They have a doubler for their next game away to Aberdeen,
Beaton will be the referee, with Ross as his assistant.

08 Jan 2021 06:34:08
Anytime I have seen Madden referee us, I have always thought he has done a good job. He looks the least likely to create controversial moments.

07 Jan 2021 10:05:05
With all our bad luck this season, you just KNOW what is coming next

The Dubai trip has drawn so much criticism and now the Government is talking about refusing entry to anyone not testing negative.
What are the odds of one or more of our squad being POSITIVE re entering scotland.

07 Jan 2021 12:46:35
The luck has certainly deserted us, but a lot has been brought on by ourselves, with self-inflicted 'damage' one way or another.
Right from the Bolingoli farce in August, a lot of our decisions have been questionable in the least. Let's hope for better luck, common sense and old fashioned, hard graft in 2021 and see what happens?

07 Jan 2021 12:50:33
This was always going to be an issue and the club will be a laughing stock if it happens Tim. it was too big a risk to take.

07 Jan 2021 13:15:51
We have been heading to where we are for years. A deid club over taking us is self inflicted. Lack if ambition, dreadful recruitment, a manager who persisted with players out if form. couldn't see Soro and Turnbull were the real deal. Pushed Duffy up as a striker after taking Griff off Never being prepared for the CL, playing with McGreggor st LB, going without a strike, is all down to Lawell and Desmond for where we are. These weeks coming we will see if they respond. Its long overdue. They can start by sacking everyone involved 8n recruitment. Our buy 5 players hope one is good needs to end.

07 Jan 2021 13:22:22
Id be interested on the legality of that Mally considering there is a travel corridor between Scotland and the UAE. To change the goalposts so to speak solely for Celtic would open up a can of worms.

07 Jan 2021 14:08:59
magicpole. a dead club that has spent over 80 mill in scottish football since it was formed 8 years ago any one spending 80 mill pound in Scottish football in that amount of time is going to challenge whether that is a dead club or east fife.

07 Jan 2021 15:09:05
We’ve spent over 90m in 9yrs.

07 Jan 2021 15:31:50
Ryan
The difference is Celtic have brought in £130 million in transfers in the last 9 years.
The most profit Sevco have made on any player in their whole history is Windass.
And that profit wouldn’t cover 38 year old Defoe’s annual salary.
Last season Sevco received only £700k on player transfers.
Yet the SFA allow them to accumulate more debt than the other 41 Scottish clubs combined every single season.
If they had morals,
They would’ve spent that £80 million paying off creditors,
And brought Rangers FC out of their Liquidation process.
They could then go after a real and proper 55th title.

07 Jan 2021 17:40:39
exactly my point ryan they have spent the same amount of money as us basically and that's why they are challenging. as buzz stated they have ran at a loss and accumulated more debt than every club in the country combined. the question is how are they allowed to spend that if they do not make money were is the money coming from how can a company survive with debts of over 80 mill pound yet still spend big like there rivals who are cash rich and pull in mass profits

does this sound a bit familiar like the club before them debt after debt every season to gain success then it all came on top of them. there only punishment was play in the leagues below for 4 year everything is forgot about. there was nothing our club could have done for them to get were they are its the people who run Scottish football who are allowing them to get strong wile every other club has to spend within its means. be proud your a Celtic fan and our success was gained on share footballing ability and class and playing the game fairly.

See Edouard has a new agent does this mean he seeking a move and this new agent can deliver what he's after?
