Does anyone know if the Gvidas Gineitis deal is still a possibility, or is this another that's dead?

Read what Charlie Methven had to say regarding the short comings of our board/ Desmond, hit the nail on the heed.
30 Aug 2026 21:25:01
I see Joel Van Den Berg deal done apparently.
He is AE replacement. 6' 2" midfielder. We may be looking for a 2nd midfielder before window closes the same report claims.
That leaves lb and gk still to get. All too late for CL of course.
Why do they do this every year.
30 Aug 2026 22:59:19
We are also a CB short.
30 Aug 2026 18:38:25
What are the Celtic board doing with all these profits we have been making?
The stadium is not getting upgraded.
They are not buying players with it.
They have not improved scouting.
So where is it and what is it going to get used for?
30 Aug 2026 20:43:42
Moan moan moan.
30 Aug 2026 20:59:04
Sitting in the bank. Remember the big chunk that goes to the taxman. Joe, I could understand it if they WERE saving up to improve the Main stand/ Scoreboards/ Screens/ WiFi etc. but NOTHING. SIMPLY NOTHING. Just keep on giving us your money. Not me! Me no daft!
30 Aug 2026 21:15:55
The board get a percentage of the end of year profits. No profits no money in their pockets, simple! So they donβt spend just sell and buy cheapβ¦1980s basic business strategy.
30 Aug 2026 22:35:03
Paying HMRC Joe.
30 Aug 2026 23:01:02
We wouldn't even on w if that is what they are doing Davie, as they don't communicate without the us.
31 Aug 2026 00:16:57
I soooo am on the same page mate. I used to think that Pl was running the club quite well. It IS NOW SIMPLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES that all that matters is profit to the board. I have other priorities in life. Get these charlatans OUT!
30 Aug 2026 18:36:28
I've come to the conclusion that building a quality football team is way down the priorities at our club.
Our priorities are Merchandise, hospitality, season ticket sales, and ousting out what the Club would call our undesirable fans (the ones that are vocal in their criticism of the Club) and replace them with happy clappers preferably with deep pockets.
We have a cheek calling ourselves a Football Club the football side of things is just a sideshow.
After ploughing my hard earned into the club for the best part of 30 years, I can't take this lack of ambition anymore, over the past 10 years we have regressed at an alarming rate. When I renewed this season I never thought even this board would be as complacent again after last season, but here we are 3 days of the window to go, out of the CL and we're just as weak in the middle of the park and defence as we were last season ( possibly even weaker)
30 Aug 2026 19:59:59
What they don't realise is it they get rid of the ultras, they will kill a part of the club that cannot be replicated and it will result in a slow death
I posted about something similar recently but came at it from the view that working class fans are being priced out the game and once they are gone our stadium will be devoid of atmosphere and many people will chuck it.
30 Aug 2026 21:16:45
Said it often, apathy is more dangerous than anger. Anger is an emotion because it comes from caring, with apathy the fans will just leave and probably not come back.
31 Aug 2026 00:12:20
Happy punters are well behaved punters - for the most part. The more they p. them off the worse it'll be, for everyone.
30 Aug 2026 17:06:49
Yesterday showed both sides of our team/ squad. Good in flashes with pace and some genuine quality. Then slow, ponderous, wide open and lacking quality. We have some players that we can't rely on to complete 90 mins regularly, CCV, AJ, KT, CalMac, Ox etc and others who are not at the levels required or are so infrequently, Reo, Tounetki, Scales, McCowan, Yang, Trusty, Murray.
A few injuries/ suspensions and we will struggle unless we bring in some quality. Gk, LB, CH and Midfield enforcer as a minimum.
30 Aug 2026 17:44:08
Agreed chinks, we need 4 new players at a minimum and we should be looking at 1-2 more in January. The 4 we bring in should be 1stvteam ready, not projects.
30 Aug 2026 16:46:29
I thought the transfer window closed on Tuesday at 11pm but apparently it's Thursday 5pm in Scotland?
30 Aug 2026 17:12:08
Ed007.Any info on the rumour KT AND Hogh out for four months?!?!?!?!?!?!
{Ed007's Note - I'm not buying it Davie}
30 Aug 2026 17:44:34
Wednesday for Europe and Thursday for Scotland only.
30 Aug 2026 17:44:56
Aye it's Thursday at 5pm for scotland.
30 Aug 2026 18:57:35
Kt looked miffed to be coming off from where I was sitting. Hogh is a strange one as he did the presser seemed happy and said he was fit.
30 Aug 2026 16:14:10
I watched the sevco game today (don't ask it's a family thing) . A game totally devoid of any quality. After spending all of that money I'd be a worried second supporter more so when listening to McInnes in his interview spouting that he really enjoyed the game as the team showed a lot of fight and QUALITY π€¦π½ββοΈ
If we improve in the midfield, CB, lb, rb positions and get a keeper to push Sinsalo I've got no doubt we will stroll the league this year.
If we don't improve then it will be a grind again.
30 Aug 2026 14:02:46
Ed why are rumours and banter pages opening on oct 25?
{Ed033's Note - This main pages are updated now.
30 Aug 2026 14:56:02
Same was happening to me, site been quite janky for a few days now even after deleting cache and resetting etc on mobile.
{Ed007's Note - There was a problem that started yesterday - I was out for the afternoon so didn't know until I got home. Ed033 has now moved the site's main pages to the new server but he still has to upload the images and archive pages, which will take a couple of days longer. ππ»π
30 Aug 2026 15:23:55
No worries cheers Ed, thought it was my phone and nuked all my settings and sign ins thinking it was at my end ππ»ββοΈ.
{Ed007's Note - ππ»π
30 Aug 2026 16:58:55
Worse for me a was txtn my pals sayn Nickolson getting sacked and the woman who was ceo at Leicester is heavily linked, nvr noticed it was 2025 news π€¦ββοΈ.
{Ed007's Note - ππππ
30 Aug 2026 19:21:38
Can anyone turn back time, apart from from Cher ππ.
30 Aug 2026 14:16:52
Would take ferry in a heartbeat 1 5m no brained instead of developing the bot from Chelsea.
30 Aug 2026 14:39:12
Heβs a SPL level at best and too small.
We need bigger and better.
30 Aug 2026 16:42:10
KT and Hogh might be out longer some are saying. Makes our transfer action so far even more embarrassing.
30 Aug 2026 16:58:40
Dyu know how this board works if u think they'll spend big money on a lb u ain't been paying attention.
30 Aug 2026 20:37:26
I do but I also know that we have enough below standard players at the club as it is.
30 Aug 2026 10:09:31
Guys although everything is not rosy at Celtic Park look at the sevvies and the amount they have splashed out for little gain so far, add in no revenue from Europe and so far no big money sales of any of their players.
Now imagine this if they draw today they will be 7 points adrift already, and if Falkirk draw with them Wednesday Celtic could have a really nice cushion after only 4 games if we beat Aberdeen.
30 Aug 2026 14:57:22
Tim, Debbieβs were lucky again today, lost fouls went their way, twice as many bookings for the sheep - a lucky win at best and won't paper over the cracks.
30 Aug 2026 15:40:42
Devlin and Shankinstein saying that's a proper rangers teamπππ€£.
30 Aug 2026 19:24:42
Dealing is a booking and possibly a red every other game. He is a dirty player and was lucky today.
Shankenstien only scored today as he got to take the penalty. He is absolute dross.
Sheep unlucky to have a goal and possible penalty not given.
30 Aug 2026 12:19:36
Our midfield is a problem imo,
Not because calmac isnβt
Decent or because we sold Engels, it was a huge problem last year as well,
Too many gaps,
To easy to play through
No enough physicality
For me the issue is Nygren, no doubt his goals are important but he leaves the other 2 badly exposed, unless we find an out and out mf general whoβs so natural in that position heβs a step ahead then in some games weβre going to struggle in there,
30 Aug 2026 14:22:25
You have a good point Jaa we definitely need a solid fast holding midfielder, and I am surprised MON hasn't brought one in by now as he always had one the last time he was manager ( not cover) I would be surprised if we get anyone in decent now with only two days left of this window.
30 Aug 2026 14:29:48
Yeah, I thought we were heading for a great window with what we've signed and expecting Sigur, Gineitis, Emenalo along with an experienced keeper.
Now it looks like it's going to be nothing of the sort and slog it out for the season as what we have will be enough.
Pretty disappointed and in the words of Joe "F*ch the Board! ".
30 Aug 2026 16:04:13
None of our midfielders have any dig or physicality. One is stinking the place out as he wants to leave. One is only good in attack and offers very little in terms of pressing and tackling and should only play in games where we do t need to defend.
Callum
Hatate
Baur
Nygren
Ox
McCowan.
