Is it true that Celtic are footing the bill to re-lay the Murrayfield pitch with the latest 4G surface which is apparently half synthetic half real grass, I think Twickenham has one and the French have one . An egg chasing fanatic at the work told me this and Celtic are paying for it.

Would hope so, or would they like to play on it for nothing?

Agree0 Disagree0

I've heard this too. how much do you reckon that'll cost?

Agree0 Disagree0

I've just checked - well over £250,000! hope we won't be paying it all.

Celtic sign 13 year old josh rae from Hamilton in a deal that could be worth £100,000

Accies rejected both offers from Celtic, they're not interested in selling to a Scottish side. He's scheduled to have a trial at Liverpool some point in the near future.

hi ed marty bhoy here ( the original one!)
for me look at the bigger picture guys,
celtic are picking up some nice moolah,
&will continue to so so .making distance between us & sevco hey they can only dream of being where we are!
we were NEVER going to win the champs league but let's take pride in us punchin above our weight in that comp,
every year we add to our cash flow!
sell a couple of players then add (hopefully to the value of the next one) & so on!
it makes sense lads,
its a bizo that means making profit while hopefully adding quality to the squad & banking money isn't that the way forward?
get real guys would you rather we went the way of the sevies?
slowly but surely we are getting there bril money in the bank no loans, dominating scotland!
thats as good as it gets so stop fkn moanin!
we will dominate the league for years to come that's all we can do for now! good bizo sense while growing?
what would you rather have a big gamble with high priced players contracts?
sit back lads and look at the very very big picture!

{Ed007's Note - Hi Marty nice to hear from you again. Can you try and make sure you are signed in when you post, thanks.}

Dominating scotland? Should have been a treble last year and this year marty

Agree0 Disagree0

After the much hated (in my opinion) International break - we have Scottish Cup quarter finals and my beloved Celts are nowhere to be seen. No matter how much we are horsing this league and should rap it up before the farcical split; there is no hiding my disappointment in not defending our trophy. Add this to
the miserable CL campaign (including the hammering in Camp Nou) and the disastrous defeat by Morton and I fail to take much consolation from financial prudence and profit.
Give me Celtic class players, good attacking football with flair and the success on the park we expect.

We are not dominating scotland. We are out of europe, scottish cup and league cup. We have every right to "fkn moan" as you put it. Worst celtic team I have seen in years and poor management of club means we are no better off since lennon has took over.

Maybe your happy sitting back see team scrap by, but majority of us want to see more success domestically

Agree0 Disagree0

Marty are you for real?

Broken record time again from me!

May 2013 we are fed a pack of lies by Big Peter who promises us that we are shopping in the 4 million pound player market. Number of player brought in for that amount = zero.

January 2014 another pack of lies by Lennon who tells us we can now afford 6 million pound player. Number of 6 million pound players signed = zero.

I believe fans are just sick of the BS and if Peter and Neil came out and told the fans the truth, "we are going to sell our best players year after year and then gamble a portion of the money on a nobody and bank the profit" then although the fans wouldn't be happy they would know the score.

Agree0 Disagree0

Once again this we never spent 4-6 million on a player during the transfer window comes up .I know it would be great if the right player at this sort of money signed .Maybe if an out and out striker, (who's to say by summer Griffiths won't be worth that ) or a creative mid fielder ( who's to say by summer Johansen isn't worth that ) came along and we were in pole position to sign, yes, super, business well done, but tell me what players were kicking down the door of PL s office looking to play for Celtic? .
Whether or not NL can be accused of lying is also debatable, from what I see he was saying he had 6 million available to spend on the right player, not any eejit for the sake of spending it to keep the we need to spend 6 million on a player brigade happy .

Agree0 Disagree0

TTTS

Where in my post do I say that we need 4 to 6 million pound players? My points about Peter and Neil talking about spending big money are clearly documented all over the papers and internet so if they aren't trying to sign players from that bracket and are buying in guys like Boerrigter and Balde then they are clearly lying. Do you hear Abramovic, Mourinho, Pellegrini or sheik Mansoor coming out talking about spending X amount of money? No they don't, they just go about their business quietly.

The fans are sick of this and I wouldn't be surprised if season ticket sales drop this year again but as long as we are making a decent profit you can be happy with us selling our best players every year and replacing them with an inferior standard but I won't be.

Agree0 Disagree0

We certainly need to spend it on the right player but my point again is the right players haven't been queueing to join .
On this occasion its hardly PLs or NLs fault?.
Unfortunately Celtic are a hard sell at the minute by no fault of their own .
As for them 'coming out talking 'I don't recall a pressie been called for where PL and NL state we are in the market for such a player .I do recall "jurnos" asking and them answering that money was there to be spent if the right occasion arose .Do you or any of the other posters as a matter of interest think that occasion arose back in January?.

Agree0 Disagree0

@3) Is that why you play on the Sevco page DN30? I suppose it means you can still have an association with an unbeaten team! lol

Hail Hail
