Kyogo❤️❤️ is not going anywhere in this transfer window.
?.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 15:51:49
Brendan has confirmed Kyogo is in our Squad for Sunday.
Kyogo hasn’t scored a competitive goal this season but he’s been looking very sharp.
Loads has been made about Kyogo not scoring an away League goal since our 4-1 victory at Hearts in October.
Although he did score away to St. Mirren in the Scottish Cup this Calendar year.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 16:02:10
Neither might MOR be, he is in squad for Saturday so BR said.
He also didn't say there will be playerscomung in be he said we will hopefully have 1 or 2 in.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 16:23:30
All the speculation and second-guessing certainly doesn't help ease the uncertainty during these 'windows' and I posted several days ago that I suspected a few rumours were generated to unsettle us (and even our players if they read them) . MOR, Kyogo and probably Hatate will all be in the squad for Sunday despite all the 'expert' leaks.
I also read this week that MJ had gone to Burnley, but lo and behold he is now being linked with Sheffield Utd? I will be content when the window closes, probably not with the squad but the end of bullcrap.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 20:10:33
Did anyone really believe man city would sign kyogo? I would still let him go if a team is happy to pay over 10 million for him but I don't see that happening. Let's hope we get a move on and bring some more players in or it will have been another poor window.

Was having a general chat with a couple of my Celtic workmates who are STH.
When renewing there tickets, and then accessing there online Celtic accounts they said there was something different showing. along the lines of credit with Celtic store, merchandise etc.
1 of them phoned Celtic to find out what this was and he was told that "we are going to introducing a STH resale scheme". "There will be a trial in a certain section of the stadium to start with" and "STH will receive credit to purchase items within superstore, tickets, etc".
Apparently no exact date was given but my mate thought the lady he spoke to was hinting it was going to happen quite soon.

4.) 24 Jun 2024 16:19:15
I wonder what the argument is for our club not having a resale option. I think there must be a reason, maybe not a good reason, but at the same time some reason why our Board hasn’t adopted a season book resale previously. Anything that improves the attendance, particularly after full house notices has been issued . A few seasons ago a man sat down next to me, he said he was from Linwood, and he calls at TO just after KO and can buy a ticket .
Mustn’t be a widespread practice.

Have read that Ange has confirmed and been quoted as saying they won't be appealing Calmac red card as it "was fair enough having reviewed video".
?.
1.) 05 Oct 2022 13:16:49
He is right too. It was a red card for me. One can't see welsh getting back he's not that fast and second Hart is way off his line and never getting back if the motherwell player shoots.
2.) 06 Oct 2022 14:44:23
I think Harts positioning is key, it makes it a clear goal scoring opportunity. Had he been on his line then there’s an argument to say covering defender might have got across in time.
02 Aug 2022 12:24:31
Hi Ed.
Charlie Nicholas (yes our very fav ex Celt ??) is doing the rounds saying we should or will be signing an Arsenal player called Pablo Mari.
What's your thoughts?
Ps. No sweary words lol
?.
{Ed007's Note - I really don't know much about him to be honest Brian.
Pablo Mari (CB) Has made it clear he wants to be playing. An initial loan to Udinese may have been made permanent at the right price, but that did not happen. Hellas Verona and A.C. Monza offer him an option as a starter - perhaps Milan as cover.
Has anyone else noticed that Charlie Nicholas is more publicly supportive and vocally positive about Celtic since Sly ditched him? I've admitted that I was in tears when Nicholas left Celtic in '83 - he should have went to Liverpool btw - but since the fall out with the old board he just seemed to turn into a soup-taking bam.}
1.) 02 Aug 2022 13:32:09
He's a bam alright ed, loved him as a player and was heart broken when he left, but some of the sh@t he comes out with is embarrassing.
{Ed007's Note - Definitely but he just seems to be a bit more pro-Celtic since he left Sly.}
2.) 02 Aug 2022 13:46:17
Nicholas is as bad a judas as Mojo imo and that is a hill I am willing to die on.
If the money is right he will crucify the club or our players without second thought.
One of the first thing Martin O'neill done was sort that clown out. Banned him from wandering about like he owned the place.
The only reason he is talking us up is he wants to make money going in to supporters clubs to give talks.
Guys like him, Walker, Proven and Commons should never be allowed back in Parkhead.
{Ed007's Note - ??
3.) 02 Aug 2022 14:00:02
Since he left sly he's definitely more pro us, but he's still coming out with mince.
{Ed007's Note - ??
4.) 02 Aug 2022 14:02:48
Oops
Perhaps I've opened up some unhealed scars about Nicholas.
Personally am not sure what to make of him?.
?.
5.) 02 Aug 2022 14:04:11
I think, wait for it, Nicolas has a point (I never thought I'd type that) ?
In European terms, I think we need better than shat we presently have to partner CCV and an experienced, quality, left sided CB fits the bill.
Whether that's the big Spaniard at Arsenal I couldn't say.
☘️ ? ☘️.
6.) 02 Aug 2022 14:06:23
I think Champagne Charlie has a good bit to go Kev before he is as bad as Judas ?.
Agree though that him and the rest you've listed should be banned for life from setting foot inside paradise.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 02 Aug 2022 14:20:27
I don’t really understand this ‘anti’ feeling re Walker, Provan, Nicholas and Commons. They all played some really great games for Celtic and scored some really great goals. If they give/ have given an honest appraisal re Celtic which is not over flattering, so be it. Better that than being surrounded by sycophants like Kris Boyd or Kenny Millar.
No, they were good players who served Celtic well, and whilst I don’t always agree with what they say, they are alright by me.
?.
{Ed007's Note - Commons was leaking stories to the press.}
8.) 02 Aug 2022 15:07:30
I didn’t know that. Presumably they were harmful stories betraying a trust?
He was still a good player though, and some of the goals he scored (and set up) were immense.
?.
{Ed007's Note - Hugh Keevins was getting a lot of information about Celtic from Commons.}
9.) 02 Aug 2022 15:56:14
Probably via his missus Mark, she was trying to become a social media figure. HH.

10.) 02 Aug 2022 18:39:19
On the same thread about previous leaks at Celtic.
Did we ever find out who was leaking the starting team line ups during Lennon's last stint?
Were leaks actually happening regarding that or was it Lennon trying to cover up when / if team were playing bad or got bad result?
?.
11.) 02 Aug 2022 23:48:21
Commons should’ve been booted in the baws and let go after the way he acted when deila subbed him he’s a wee ****.
12.) 03 Aug 2022 14:18:55
@ BRIAN G, probably Lennon as the leaks stopped when he left.
13.) 04 Aug 2022 12:23:25
Nope Pedro he is just as bad. Mojo done what he done then had the good grace to **** off. Charlie who is one of us takes his 30 pieces of silver time and time again to stab us in the back.
Hes made more money betraying our club than MOJO ever did.
14.) 04 Aug 2022 15:02:20
I was just sitting thinking, Charlie has never been the sharpest tool in the box and some of his utterances are awful. Some things he’s attacked I agreed with, most are hard to fathom. He was a great player for us and I too never understand Tims being so critical when it’s unwarranted. When it is crack on, but defend when it’s clear sevconuans are at it and don’t he scared to. That effs me off.

Some Celtics fan's have finally got there wish.
No McGregor
No Trusty
No Scales
Sometimes in life some fans need to be careful what they wish for.
Always Keep the Faith.

1.) 16 Mar 2025 12:31:23
Going to be tough in midfield today, we don't have anyone in there with the composure of calmac and if they pressure us like they have the last few games we could gift them possession in really bad places. I'll gladly take any sort of win today. Hopefully someone steps up in midfield and we put on a show.
2.) 16 Mar 2025 14:51:43
There are many reasons why we lost, but really I think it was our players self delusion about their superiority plus starting the match with a team of foreigners who don’t hate the h. ns like our fans do . We needed at least a couple from Scales, Taylor, Mc Gregor and Idah and Forrest starting, these players would be sick in themselves if they played like our team in the first half . They looked afraid and overwhelmed. That’s something the Scottish/ Irish players wouldn’t have tolerated . After we equalised in 2nd half, if we had any heart and commitment we should certainly have won game .
I suppose most of our players will enjoy their meal tonight with their Sevco friends.
3.) 16 Mar 2025 15:09:58
We Really, Really need a Big Vic type in midfield, to many players hiding and not showing for the ball and that lead to CCV, Kasper and Rocky playing the ball to much between each other.
I felt sorry for Engels as he had no one to help him run the midfield.
4.) 16 Mar 2025 15:10:25
Celticda you talk some absolutely rubbish mate. Away and sober up, that has got to be one of the worst posts I've read on here in 15 plus years. Embarrassing.
5.) 16 Mar 2025 15:28:26
Well Brian, it turns out Trusty and Scales missing were the least of our problems when you've got a lackadaisical CCV constantly switching off, slowing down the play and passing backwards when there's a forward pass on.
It says something when our best player in the first half was a boy that's only had 23 minutes all season.

Proud of team tonight against 1 of the top CL elite teams.
Daizen Maeda is first Celtic player to score 4 goals in a Champions League campaign.

Well Done Maeda because it’s well deserved with all your effort for Celtic.
I hope your keeping well Brian ?.
2.) 13 Feb 2025 00:32:32
Im going to say it. he's our best since larsson. What a player.
3.) 13 Feb 2025 07:59:43
Get Maeda a new contract, with a big pay rise. He deserves it. The amount if work he does for us is incredible.
Maybe Kyogo going has a good thing, it frees Maeda up to play through the middle and with his pace he is always dangerous.
Had Kane not been left on his own to score the 2nd, we may have managed a draw.
Had Khuns goal been allowed, who knows how the game may have went. It is little things that matter at this level.
A couple of quality signings in the summer we are heading towards a team who will be comfortable challenging at this level, no more talk of us being a Europa team.

Hello Again
There is some assumptions in this post.
Assuming we get Queen's Park in quarter finals and beat them.
We win semi final and get through to final.
I'm fairly sure we would be 1st team to have played a major cup competition at Hampden as QF, Semi-Finalists and Finalists ?.
?.
1.) 10 Feb 2025 18:16:39
Celtic were not allowed to play the Semi Final in 1995 at Hampden Park because that was our home ground that season.
Celtic beat Kilmarnock at Hampden in the Quarter Final and also Airdrie in the Final at the National Stadium.
Celtic were forced to play Hibs at Ibrox in the Semi Final.
2.) 10 Feb 2025 18:22:11
I should’ve added that Celtic were forced to play 4 cup games at Ibrox that season.
There was already a financial gap in 1994/ 95 and yet the SFA hired Ibrox 4 times for Celtic matches.

Have been thinking about how Brendan is going to set up team against Bayern over the 2 legs.
I think outwardly he will say he won't change his philosophy of attacking football.
However, I think he will be much more pragmatic and set up team not to lose (and certainly not getting skelped) .
Daizen Maeda will be a massive loss and not sure if anyone else in team could play that role as well as he does.
Brendan, if you are reading this please don't let us get another skelping.
?.
1.) 10 Feb 2025 12:34:49
He'll have a go at parkhead the problem is away from home where we've been found out, another atalanta would do nicely.
2.) 10 Feb 2025 15:07:26
Any result hat gives us a chance in 2nd leg would be good.
A pragmatic approach both legs and hope over there, with Maeda back, our pace with him and Kuhn will hurt them.
3.) 11 Feb 2025 12:09:31
As Maedainparadise says we have to tweak our normal set up from throwing everyone forward on a high press, to having respect for thei fast dangerous front men by trying to prevent their defence and midfield from getting their front men running at our goal. They can be very danger, yet we are not able to play a blanket defence for 90 mins . That would just be asking for trouble.

As I've posted on numerous occasions some Celtic fans will never be happy with what Celtic do or don't do during a transfer window.
They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
In the summer transfer window did the board not back BR big time?
Should they have signed another striker in this window? (Yes, definitely) .
If Kyogo didn't leave would he have made any significant difference against Bayern? (No, imo) .
We are no weaker at present to potentially win another treble imo
We are where we are.
Transfer window has closed and time to move on.
?.
1.) 07 Feb 2025 13:25:08
I think lots of us are just majorly disappointed that we lost our top striker and didn't replace him.
This does not leave us in an ideal situation if we get an injury to idah or maeda.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 13:37:16
In the summer transfer window they again waited until the last minute and unrest from the stands before getting BR the players he had been asking for all month.
In this transfer window BR repeated said he hoped to bring in a striker so the board failed miserably once again.
The best indication of future behaviour is past behaviour.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 14:34:20
It just shows how much Kyogo went off the boil in the last 18 months if Celtic felt he didn’t need replaced.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 14:52:48
The board, spent the money they got for O’Reilly! And it’s their job to back the manager that they put in place. You sound as if they were doing him a favour!
5.) 07 Feb 2025 16:04:39
Sometimes I get the impression the Board consciously defy BR when he goes public on what we need and when?
6.) 07 Feb 2025 17:17:25
Us fans haven’t blamed the man who had a role in us not signing right players in window . Direct from BR, who i hold in the highest esteem, Brendan told us last summer that he was taking responsibility for transfers in . BR said he would have final say. This would mean that he was taking very heavy responsibility and wouldn’t be easy to persuade to take anyone at short notice only those who were recruited early on and he had approved .
It’s notable that the player we signed on the final day had previously played for BR so he could asses him easily .
The Board will need to scrutinise very carefully, if recruitment team had recommended enough players of the price and ability that suited Board and BR . Board needs to also scrutinise to find out, could our CEO perform better to get chosen players to sign. No matter how good club is, there must be areas in the recruitment, finalising and actually buying that we can improve, to make sure we have a better intake rate.

What was your opinion when we signed the project "MOR" for around £250,000 from MK Dons?

I posted a few months ago that Celtics would go "All in" to buy Lennon Miller.
