Willie Collum has given his Verdict on 4 Celtic incidents in May.
Alastair Johnston’s tackle on Mikey Moore - Correct Decision to give only a Yellow Card.
Nygren Penalty incident at Easter Road - Incorrect Decision and Celtic should have been awarded a Penalty Kick.
Daizen Maeda Penalty incident at Fir Park - Subjective which could have went either way.
The last gasp Nicholson Motherwell handball - Correct Decision to award Celtic a Penalty Kick.

I just watched the review and this month they had 8 incidents and 6 of them included Celtic games.
The other 2 incidents not mentioned above includes the Yang Derby goal which was deemed the Correct Decision to award the goal.
Also the Joe Newell goal which Collum felt there was not enough evidence to disallow the goal for handball.

The unity didn’t last long.
Two Green Brigade members have been banned again.
As we know, the entire group was previously banned over an alleged incident that supposedly had no evidence, despite body cams, CCTV throughout the stadium, undercover officers with handheld cameras, and tens of thousands of mobile phones in the stands.
The board only backed down when it became clear the backlash and the prospect of losing the league, was growing too big to ignore. Once the pressure was off and the season was over, they reverted straight back to type.
Now, six months after an alleged incident, two Green Brigade members have been banned over an incident that is alleged to have happened at the AGM.
The fans were useful when the board needed cover. Apparently they’re disposable again now they don’t.
#standwiththebanned.

Is it Official that Iheanacho is away
In this Tim's eyes I thought club would keep him and offer him a 1 or 2 year deal
I realise he has fitness problems, but I was hoping a full pre season under his belt would benefit him, also he is clearly a decent impact sub, can offer experience and advice to younger players, and seems to be a good influence in dressing room, him and Oxlade Chamberlain with a good pre season can offer a lot to Celtic.

29 May 2026 13:51:46
That was my take as well Tim was hoping both got deals, pre season is crucial for a good season.

29 May 2026 14:35:39
Both have great talent that is undeniable. But I think both have lost a yard or two and if we want to go forward I think we have to bring in quality that has some pace also.
I am sure both will be on a good wage also wages that can be used for younger faster players IF WE BRING THEM IN on time and not the end of the window.

29 May 2026 17:06:28
I cannot understand why Iheanacho hasn't played more than 60 minutes in games over the last 5 years.
The reason has never came out which is really concerning and if he isn't capable of a full game, he really isn't worth the risk.
We could pay him 25k a week and get very few games back for that money.
I thank him for his goals this season, not his effort, because in some games he hardly moved, but it is time to say goodbye unless the club can get a guarantee that he can get fully fit. I don't think he can give that.
For me the Ox is a better bet, as he needs a pre-season as he hadn't played in a year but again can he get back to full fitness and near the player he was.
They will be near 50k a week between them, that is a lot for definite maybes.

Well bring them back on loan one minute before deadline day closes along with 4 or 5 duds.

What is going on with the board at Celtic fc, have they learned nothing, are they truly this incompetent or are they just downright belligerent? Yet again their hand is out, we have not heard a peep out of them and they continue to show nothing but contempt for the people who fund this club.
The image of inertia and inactivity they constantly project is absolutely staggering for a so called professional business.

Celtic have blocked 2 Green Brigade members from renewing their season tickets.
They are reviewing an incident which I think was a verbal altercation with the Celtic Chief security guy at the AGM.
It was obvious someone was going to get the blame for Thousands of Celtic Supporters waiting until the last day to renew.
Celtic are like a Woman making sure they get the last word in.

{Ed007's Note - Rumours going about that less than 40k have renewed Buzz but I've not heard from anyone that actually hasn't.... 🤷♀️

It will be interesting to see if Celtic remain the club with the most season ticket holders in Britain.
Celtic have 53,000 and then Man United are next most with 52,000.

So, England will have NINE teams playing in all European competitions next season.
FIVE of those teams, (Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester Utd, Aston Villa) will play in the CHAMPIONS League!
Meanwhile the actual CHAMPIONS of certain members of UEFA registered member leagues will have to compete in qualifying rounds and scramble to get some crumbs from the big money competition.
This is wrong on so many levels and just makes the rich clubs richer and move the goalposts even further away from the teams in the small money leagues.

Itsxalways been wrong but that's UEFA for you nothing more than a corrupt cash cow.

Up to fans of other leagues to have ‘not another penny’ campaign. They only care about money and that comes entirely from us idiot plebes. Personally, when we are not in it, I don’t even buy a can of coke with their logo on it. If the supporters outwith the perceived special 5 countries starved them of cash you’d soon see a change in the ‘TV cup’ attitude.
Surely what they do is a breach of EU competition law.
Years back there was talk of North Atlantic league for the unwashed and unworthy, that would have killed them. Money talks, we should make sure they listen.

The best news we have received this window so far is that Steve Clarke has signed an extended contract with Scotland, so he won't be on our list of potential Managers.
Sadly for Scotland they have the man with the most boring footbal style ever.
A man when we needed a win, sets up so defensively that we didn't get a single shot on goal.

Prepared to be shocked.
Police Scotland have yet to receive an assault complaint from hearts FC. 😱
I wonder why?

We got a penalty against them 3 weeks ago.

Sevco conceded 6 Premiership penalties.
So Sevco received 1 penalty more than they conceded.
Celtic received 2 more than we conceded.
Hearts received 4 more than they conceded.

It wouldn't have looked like that if we didn't have VAR.

Kelechi free to sign for anyone. For me he has earned another 12 months, even if as an impact sub. If new manager doesn't fancy him then i'm sure he could find a club to take him on loan. Why we aren't moving on him is puzzling, or knowing our Board maybe not!
3
28 May 2026 18:00:06
He played max 45 minutes for us and has not played more than 60 minutes for 5 years.
That doesn't say to me he has 90 minutes in him but no one has explained why.
Is he really worth another year with the wages we are paying him.
I think he is a huge risk.
2
28 May 2026 18:22:33
Apparently he looking at between £25/ 30k pw, for an impact player not for me, lose weight have a good pre season then mb worth it.
1
28 May 2026 21:39:58
We would not have won the league without him. Adamu, Cvancara and Mvuka were about £60k pw. Any player is a risk, he is free and we know what he can do. Guys like Kenny could learn loads from him on what a CF should do.
Accept however he has fitness issues but personally I think he has shown his worth and he would continue to score goals in our league for years.
6
29 May 2026 04:52:46
He needs to be let go. Thanks for your service but we can’t be allowed to be that poor again and need to rely on a player that has no fitness levels.
He has helped win a league and cup double but like many others it’s time to move on.
1
29 May 2026 08:21:07
Chinks, maybe not but that was only because he came on late in games as he wasn't fit enough to start.
You want to have another season with him here, just in case we need a goal after 70 minutes.
Thats a great use of 25-30k a week.

Here we go again with Saracchi.
Most Celtic fans would be happy to see him signed and I believe the player would also be keen to come back.
Boca are already at their limit on "foreign" players so will be keen to move him on in order to free up the space for a first choice player.
However, our BoD will know this and appear to be trying to get him on the cheap, paying what we can get away with, rather than what he is worth. What the clowns fail to grasp is that we're not the only club who could take him! No doubt, while they penny-pinch with their offers, someone else will come in a nd snap him up from under our noses.
This is exactly what has been going wrong for years. Get him signed and pay Boca what they want as he's worth it. Otherwise we'll end up panic buying late in the window again, overpaying for inferior players.

28 May 2026 12:32:30
This pisses me off, if true. Saracchi was wonderful and ought to have got more game time. Easiest load conversion since Maeda.

28 May 2026 13:17:59
When it works I don’t have an issue with the low balling. We got Nygren by low balling, o’reilly and a few other further back on unbelievable bids which in turn have been very good for the club so in business it definitely is a good approach. It all depends on supply and demand - if they can’t use him and Celtic need him for cover at LB then lowballing makes sense in this instance for me.
If we bid 6m and get him immediately you would be pissed off sick if you could get him for 2.5m with a bit of negotiation. Issue is that it doesn’t always work. Did Celtic miss McGinn by lowballing? Obviously there are bad story’s as well as good.
2
28 May 2026 14:03:13
Negotiations are part and parcel of buisness. Go in low work up to an accepted bid.
Now if we desperately needed a LB then yes pay what they want. But he'd be back up to Tierney.
As much as he looks a player I've no issue lowballing this one and see where it takes us.
1
28 May 2026 15:21:32
Guys our Board have two sides when negotiating
If we are SELLING we expect top dollar eg Parma and Nawrocki Board put high price on both
When Board are BUYING eg Saracchi we go in LOW
But this present Board has no idea to compromise.
1
28 May 2026 18:43:19
This was the guy that won us the league on the last day, watch his involvement in the 2nd goal from about a full minute before the ball hit the net, he totally changed the pace of the game when he came on and not for the first time last season. Get him signed up and stop f****** penny pinching. Jeezo will we ever learn.

28 May 2026 19:23:34
100% agree could even be a good left winger.

Celtic aren't paying 5 million pound for a back up LB. I want to sign him but its not going to happen at that price. Plus I got told from a decent source his family didn't settle in Scotland.
1
29 May 2026 08:24:53
I would love us to sign him and play both him and KT, one of them playing further up the field.
Scarrachi has shown how dangerous he is further forward and can create goals, as has KT.
