For jaa. I was out hill walking all day and only got home.
On the face of it, it looks like we have signed a higher calibre of player but I am basing that on what we have spent, the level they were playing at, what you guys say on here and what my mates talk about.
However, I cannot give you my own opinion as I don't watch anymore.
That being said I do think the board were very slow getting players in, there are still deficiencies in the team, only 2 GK, no back up for Tierney. Only 1 right winger ( I know Duran can play there but if we are counting him as a rw, we are one striker down. We are also a CM down and you could make an argument that we need a CB. I also think it was high risk selling Engels so close to the CL qualifiers.

Weejoe,
I love your passion, I really do, I also don't disagree with the positions that you've outlined that still require quality additons.
Given the players we've signed so far rhis window, and those we've been consistently linked with, I'm hopeful we'll exit this window a stronger team with better options both on the park as well as off the bench.
I call it as I see it and although I'm no lover of this board, particularly MN, DD or baby Desmond, like the majority of supporters, I want to see the very best Celtic team on the pitch in order that we can progress as a club.
HH.

do you bag the munros joe i do them mate.
as for the team we have been bringing quality in and getting rid of the deadwood and the players who want out. for me the team is getting good freshen up and strenght and qaulity added. the players we need will be in before window closes.
and i think we have enough quality to see the tie out.
as for the way a lot of fans go on about not being good enough in terms of timeing of players comeing in not just yerself mate fans overall.
we would be as well just no signing anybody soon as the first game is played with the way the go on shouting its to late.

I am bagging the Munros UI but unsure if I will ever get them all as some of them look hard and it is very time consuming. ?
How have you been getting on with them? I am now in the high double digits.
I personally think it is important to have the team ready for the CL qualifiers, as it is the most important game of the season in terms of finances, which is not to say players shouldn't be signed once that game passes.

@ui - I've not done the Aonach Eagach ridge yet. Was going to do cmd at Nevis and the devils ridge first, and also get more scrambling done.
Congratulations on reaching the half century. ?
@bobbylennoxbhoy - cheers for the offer mate, will keep that in mind for future. Any advice for good scrambles to build up to the harder scrambles? Well done on getting them all done, that is some achievement. ?.

I used to do the Munros guys.
Stopped a couple of years ago at 88.
I walk the Scottish Great Trails now and completed my fifth out of the 28 last week. ?.

North18q - good on you for not surrendering to old age and still getting out there and challenging yourself. ?
I am inspired when I see people far older than me, still going strong and i hope I am can follow in all your footsteps one day.
16 Aug 2026 23:00:53

I would love to mate but the arrhythmia problem with the ticker stops me.
I do love walking the trails though such as the Fife coastal path, west highland way etc but I limit myself to 10 miles a day when I manage to get out?.
