As we look likely to ship out Palma and are in need of back up wingers why not go for Martin Boyle? Out of contract in summer, proven in our League, looking back to his best after injuries etc? Yes folk will say he won't improve the team but we need cover and he is imo better than Palma and Yang, similar to JF. Short term 12-18 month deal. Seen articles asking if Hibs should offer him new deal so timing seems right.
1.) 13 Jan 2025 11:51:12
No no and no again. Palma is a better player than Boyle will ever be.
2.) 13 Jan 2025 12:02:02
Really Dc, in what world does Palma ever score a hat trick against Sevco? In fact even score?
3.) 13 Jan 2025 12:03:45
Is Boyle mot 32.
4.) 13 Jan 2025 16:00:47
Lads cmon! Martin Boyle u can’t be serious ?.
I’d go for Duk before Martin Boyle.
5.) 13 Jan 2025 16:05:44
Sometimes I really wander about people, someone touted Nicola katic last week on this site, I’m flabbergasted at the thought any of our fans could accept either of these for our team . It must be a joke, I fully accept Celtic don’t shop in particular windows for players but, come on.
6.) 13 Jan 2025 17:00:28
Not duk for me.
7.) 13 Jan 2025 17:10:17
Chinks this isn't fifa kid. Your saying because he scored a hattrick against sevco means he's a better player? So you obviously rate him more than khun and maeda? Because I don't ever remember them scoring hattricks against sevco. I honestly can't believe that is your response. Maybe when you grow up and start understanding the game more you will see how much nonsense that is.
8.) 13 Jan 2025 19:02:07
Me either Mally I’d have neither!
Not Celtic class. I would like to see us go in for Watson or Lennon Miller though.
9.) 13 Jan 2025 20:16:01
He has no resell value and up until recently had been very poor.
10.) 13 Jan 2025 20:18:21
We should be looking at players like jota and isaksen.
11.) 13 Jan 2025 20:49:49
Looks like the Palma deal has stalled due to Fifa imposing a transfer embargo on the Spanish team ?♂️.
12.) 13 Jan 2025 20:57:12
Only 2 players in Scotland I'd be remotely interested in are Igamane and Cerny, Boyle is nowhere near good enough for Celtic.
13.) 14 Jan 2025 05:34:40
Igamane certainly looks real deal, it will never Happen but just imagine.
01 Aug 2024 19:08:03
Bernardo signed! Now let's get Idah and 1 or 2 others.
1.) 01 Aug 2024 20:50:50
I was hoping for 4 more.
2.) 01 Aug 2024 21:17:24
LB/ CB/ CDM/ Striker still required?
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
3.) 01 Aug 2024 23:51:44
Still need a LB, CB, DMF, Winger, CF
Possibly 2 CBs as Nawrocki is made of chocolate and lagerbierlke and welsh ain't good enough. That leaves us with only scales and CCV that can be relied on.
4.) 02 Aug 2024 18:10:56
Need all Derry said plus a Rb for me, Conway would be a good signing.
5.) 03 Aug 2024 09:06:44
We still need four weejoe. The only people who seem not to think so, are a group of timid, frightened Scrooge type men, who love a blazer. And a bonus. for keeping the balance high. Seemingly we can all go F ourselves.
6.) 03 Aug 2024 09:10:18
Oh and the most damning thing, is nobody is in the least surprised. And when they take the English gold or anybody’s gold, they don’t care, for Matt, we could be actually weaker.
30 Jan 2024 12:52:37
Strong rumours that BR had fallout with Board over Owen Beck. Contact with Liverpool stalled and Klopp felt disrespected hence why he played him for a few mins in a game that was already in the bag. Probably a lot of mince but story I've seen blames baby L for it.
{Ed007's Note - Why would anyone from Celtic be talking to Klopp about signing a Liverpool player let alone disrespect him?}
1.) 30 Jan 2024 13:41:21
I smell sh@te.
2.) 30 Jan 2024 13:56:22
Was rather strange playing Beck now he's getting loaned back to Dundee after being recalled back ?.
{Ed007's Note - Both of Liverpool's LBs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas were injured so it was either Beck or Luke Chambers - who is on loan at Wigan that - were being recalled and it was felt Beck had been performing better at Dundee so they chose him.
There was never any chance of Celtic - or anyone else - buying Beck during this window.}
3.) 30 Jan 2024 14:15:57
Beck isn't at celtic because we wanted to use him as a back up and dundee are going to play him week in week out.
4.) 30 Jan 2024 14:42:54
Robertson is back playing and tsimikas is fit. i don't think we were ever interested.
5.) 30 Jan 2024 17:20:13
This rumour may be wide of the mark, but I'm certain BR will not have long to wait to look for excuses to have a fall-out with our Board.
6.) 30 Jan 2024 18:27:06
OAB the board are to blame for all our failings. I detest them at the moment.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 09:22:51
Join the queue Ken, they are always our biggest threat. I feckin detest every single one of them. Every year at the AGM they get an easy ride by the happy clapping, Lawell&s a good businessman, deluded. We lose this league they should be slaughtered. Their team ncompetence is off the charts and they do more harm to us than any feckin Sevconian ever has or ever will.
31 May 2023 19:38:27
Seems more than a rumour this time. Hopefully Ange decides against it as it seems they want him. If he goes we will be gutted but can we really blame him? I will hold no grudge at all, he will leave with head held high, probably 5 trophies in the bag and a strong squad. And the chance to manage a team with potential to truly compete in CL with a 4 or 5 fold increase in salary might be hard to resist. We are a club like no other though, and big man gets it so u never can tell. ??.
1.) 31 May 2023 19:45:14
The writing is on the wall I'm afraid ? but he'll be leaving us in a far stronger position than he found us. I wish him all the best if he does go. Our club will always go onwards and upwards.
2.) 01 Jun 2023 00:56:03
Back in February, the man himself said that “people will be surprised” how long he stays with us.
Things can change but hopefully he meant that and the new contract will be announced on Saturday night.
3.) 01 Jun 2023 07:53:03
I’m a bit unsure how I feel about this to be honest, on one hand he can go, treble his wages, play in a much better league with possibly the best stadium and training ground in Europe.
On the other after making comments about the press being surprised how long he will be with us, job to do in Europe and only started his project with us, is there much difference between him and Rogers? First opportunity to go when a big club comes in he’s off?
Like I said, a bit split on this .
4.) 01 Jun 2023 12:43:33
Quinn I think Tottenham are significantly better team long term than Leicester and at the same point we weren't sold by Ange "he was the biggest Celtic fan ever".
In saying that he'll be with technically a regular top 6 team. Probably have in excess of £150 transfer budget a team where there are players that can play his brand of attacking football. The only downside is Tottenham would sack you in minutes and at the same point Levy seems as though he interferes to much. Will Ange want that risk? Again once your in that money league the gems of players he has found who would cost £10 million will be closer to 30-40 his budget will go down quicker than expected.
What ever he chooses as long as he gets that treble I wish him all the best. He's left us in a stronger position and a team that will get stronger than any manager I can recall. I hope he stays.
5.) 01 Jun 2023 14:18:57
Spurs ate a basket case with tyrant at the helm, kane wants out and they've no chance of competing with city utd or Liverpool who will spend big then thers chelsea who have a decent manager now, nice stadium right enough.
6.) 01 Jun 2023 15:12:07
Quinn, there's a staggering difference between this and Rodgers. If he wins a Treble and leaves with us already qualified for the CL, we'll be one of the most attractive jobs in Europe this summer. For me, if Ange does go, I'd be hoping for somebody with a track record of getting results in Europe.
7.) 01 Jun 2023 17:26:49
And who knows if its the first chance to jump. I doubt that and he has not gone mid season when title and cup were still to be won - like BR. Absolutely gutted if/ when he goes but 100% no hard feelings. He came, conquered, bought into the club but unfortunately the draw of playing Man City and Arsenal et Al is more attractive than Ross County and Motherwell, especially on the back of a treble. Can he do much more with us? Not really, possible CL qualification to knock out at a stretch. Is that enough for Ange, doubt it.
8.) 01 Jun 2023 19:56:15
Folks - If Ange leaves we will have a few issues sure we are in a better place than we were when he came in . However would we them get a new manager that plays the way this team have been customised to play?
Would we still be shopping in the Asian market or move to a more European market place?
But that’s all irrelevant because .
ANGE IS GOING NOWHERE ?????.
9.) 01 Jun 2023 23:12:18
Feck me. Can we stop with the eulogies?
10.) 01 Jun 2023 23:22:30
Part of the rumours are true . The part that says Ange is leaving, he will leave some time hopefully, not for 3 or 4 seasons .
Most of us will be sad to see Ange go, he will be badly missed . However we have one consolation before Ange we won 51 League Titles 40 Scottish Cup and
20 League Cups . Before and during Ange’s time we have never been as successful, after Ange eventually leaves we will continue to be successful.
25 Aug 2022 12:29:29
Signing will be announced today, guaranteed.
{Ed007's Note - Sead Haksabanovic, 5-year deal.}
1.) 25 Aug 2022 13:04:29
He’s signed, brilliant, here’s me worrying he might have failed his medical, welcome to our club Sead.
{Ed007's Note - ?
2.) 25 Aug 2022 13:07:57
I thought a loan to buy was the option.
{Ed007's Note - I thought it was going to be a loan with an obligation to buy to help ease the "difficulties with financial transactions" that originally scuppered the deal but I do have a theory.... ?
Could it be that the difficulties would be with any transfer fee paid by the usual by instalments - who knows what the situation will be in a year's time, it could be better or it could be worse - and €2million is the highest we would go with a one-off payment?}
3.) 25 Aug 2022 13:10:20
Bang on the money @ed007.
Hope he shines. 5 years ooft well done him.
Heard he's fit and rerin to go.
Mikey j next
Julian is off
Ajeti next
Forrest not sure what he can improve. So we wait and see.
{Ed007's Note - ?
4.) 25 Aug 2022 13:20:20
And not a loan but a knocked down price due to Ruben being skint.
5.) 25 Aug 2022 13:27:08
@ The Poet apparently the delay was caused by the proper paperwork not being delivered on time due to striking postmen.
6.) 25 Aug 2022 13:35:05
Sounds like a deal was going one way then boom it all changed direction.
Cant wait to see what he can do.
7.) 25 Aug 2022 13:40:26
Afternoon All
The Daily Ranger as we all know always try and put negative spin on anything to do with our football club.
Recently including today. There negative spin re transfer fee for Haksabanovic instead of reporting it's a transfer coup at the fee we paid they report it's a low fee and his value has plummeted.
Nothing to do with Ruban Kazan financial troubles.
I'm over moon that we have signed a £5m / £6m player for the fee we are paying.
Excellent piece of business imo.
?.
8.) 25 Aug 2022 13:48:35
The board would have known about strike tomorrow, got paperwork next day delivery, taken the lid off the biscuit tin to pay for it, because that costs a bit more, maybe they were secretly hoping they would have been knocked out last night, double whammy.
9.) 25 Aug 2022 13:58:57
The Poet.
How can you possibly say that the board have taken lid of biscuit tin to pay for Haksabanovic?
Ange (right and proper) has been backed in transfer windows since he has become our manager.
At least give them credit when it's due?
?.
{Ed007's Note - I think he meant taking the lid off the biscuit tin to pay the postage, Brian.}
10.) 25 Aug 2022 14:00:46
Think that one slipped by timalloy HH.
11.) 25 Aug 2022 14:07:22
Thats another one in could there be one more?
12.) 25 Aug 2022 14:18:48
It was just a joke about biscuits, the board have backed the manager a 100%, the difference from boards in the past compared to now is like comparing old clubs to new clubs, completely different, if I was to think like old board I’d be saying who are we selling.
13.) 25 Aug 2022 14:20:44
Thats a great price ed everyone and their granny saying he's a right good player.
{Ed007's Note - ?
14.) 25 Aug 2022 14:31:56
I heard there is going to be 1 or 2 more deadline day signings once MJ, Ajeti n Forrest deals are sorted out.
{Ed007's Note - I think anyone expecting Forrest to go anywhere are going to be massively disappointed. Do you think the Club would have given him - or Forrest accepted - a 3-year deal in May (only three months ago) if they were planning on him going out on loan?
At the time Ange said:
"James is my kind of player and has that attacking intent that can open up defences to make goals, not only for himself, but for others as well.
He’s been a great servant to the football club thanks to his brilliant quality and attributes, and those have made him a proven contributor to the club’s success – you only have to look at his medal collection to see that.
I know we will get more of this from him next season and beyond, and I’m delighted that this deal has been finalised."
15.) 25 Aug 2022 15:22:21
While I think this will turn out to be a great signing my only reservation is, player has not played much football either in Russia or Sweden so he may take time to get up to speed.
@Jic you should know by now how I joke about things, re the Postmen we all know these transfers are done electronically these days and
@ The Poet I knew what you meant with the biscuit tin reference
Oh and by the way, I hope you all get a decent pay rise, but I would not count on it coming by POST lol.
16.) 25 Aug 2022 15:30:22
Great signing, will definitely add even more quality to our forward line. I can’t help but see the possible
Irony in this signing though, I read a good report the other day on how it’s predicted that ange likes to plan well in advance for future player sales, hatate and o’riley brought in on January to offset the departures of rogic and bitton, Jenz for jullien as examples.
Absolutely love jota, like most of us I’ll enjoy him while he’s here and dismiss all notion of the exit talk and rumours but if he carries on the way he’s started this season then it’s likely we will receive an offer the club or player can’t refuse, I can’t help but think haksabanovic is his ready made replacement in waiting when that time comes.
Like I said though, exit talk is for another time and hopefully this group of players can stay for another few seasons at least.
17.) 25 Aug 2022 15:52:36
Timalloy, thanks for your support.
18.) 25 Aug 2022 16:38:50
we have to keep hold of Forrest for the champions league squad numbers. Him, CalMac, Welsh and Ralston are our only home grown players.
19.) 25 Aug 2022 17:30:03
It doesn't take long to get up to speed the same thing happened with jenz and was straight in.
20.) 25 Aug 2022 18:12:02
I think we held up announcing his deal was to take a shine off of sevco beating psv last night so there was a feel good story about us in the paper too. Maybe I am just a synical guy I don't know but that's my thoughts.
21.) 25 Aug 2022 22:32:40
Can Turnbull not be in there brumbhoy or do they have to be from academy .
22.) 26 Aug 2022 08:45:46
Like his final ball, Forrest is going nowhere.
23.) 26 Aug 2022 10:40:52
Pretty surprised so many people have an issue with Forrest staying. A one club man who has contributed to every success the club has had in the last 13 odd years. I don't doubt there were times he could have left to chase the money when he was younger and never took that path. Loyalty in football these days is hard to come by and he's been an exemplary professional throughout bi's career, the exact type of player any fan should be happy to have at their club.
And Tim, Turnbull counts towards our 'Association Trained' players but 'Homegrown' refers to academy graduates.
24.) 26 Aug 2022 11:01:40
Well said rdb21, Jamesie has been a great servant for CFC, he has set up many goals and scored a few important ones too, I for 1 was happy he got his new contract, HH.

Keeping Reo on for over 90 mins was baffling. Offered practically nothing again. McCowan done more in the 2 minutes he was on the pitch! Kyogo actually played well I thought despite his misses which he should have scored. Main thing is we are through, but need to start taking chances.
15 Jan 2025 09:10:49
If you add transfer fees to wages paid we are paying huge amounts for defenders who don't play or can't defend, Trusty £7m + est £20k pw equates to £65k over 3 years - although he may stay longer after 3 years his value will be? If we take Nawrocki and LagerB at £15k pw that's another £42k and £36k pw. Combined £143k pw. All about opinions but as we are clearly not very good at picking defenders (our attempts at LB are just as bad) then getting KT for free, injuries accepted, is still a no brainer. Would he have lost the 2 duals that Trusty did last night?
1.) 15 Jan 2025 09:18:35
I'm on the fence with Tierney, Chinks. IF he stays fit we're getting a very good player. But playing him at CB isn't going to take us forward.
I wasn't bliwn away at all when we signed Trusty and still need to be convinced. When you look at us spending millions on CBs and loaning them out then it's just going to boil down to the old, it's not whatvwe spend but how we spend it.
2.) 15 Jan 2025 09:30:44
I think trusty has done OK but last night especially 2nd half he was soft, his passing is OK but he got bullied and even ccv at times git found out a bit, let's hope it was just one of them nights.
3.) 15 Jan 2025 10:15:38
Feck me lads. Trusty had one bad performance in a game we never lost n you're writing the guy off. My post yesterday was exactly about this sort of thing.
He’s been solid for us when he’s played. A couple of hiccups but that happens now n again.
4.) 15 Jan 2025 11:12:45
He had a bad game and am not writing him off but you have to be honest.
5.) 15 Jan 2025 11:40:01
What do you mean by writing him off?
6.) 15 Jan 2025 11:45:17
More in reply to Chinks mate. Apparently he can’t defend! I’m pretty sure if he wasn’t on the park against Atalanta we’d have lost that game!
7.) 15 Jan 2025 11:49:22
I like trusty but think he is low on confidence at the moment.
He has all the attributes to be a good defender for us. He just needs more concentration and more aggression.
8.) 15 Jan 2025 12:05:22
Any defender we have look good as long as they can generally pass a ball, it's the type of game like last night that shows the stature of a defender, he is very weak physically and seems to overthink a natural defending action, there is zero difference between scales and Trusty, we will dominate most games but last night was certainly another advertisement as to how to play against us, Trusty was certainly not the only one weak into challenges, lot of pulling out from other players both who started and who came on, but like your points make out its a relentless fixture requirement, but doesn't excuse lack of quality.
9.) 15 Jan 2025 12:10:44
It was a set back for Trusty last night.
First impressions wasn’t great but he was playing out of position on the right.
Trusty has shown since that he’s a decent player and he will be embarrassed with the outcome from last night.
I’m certain he will once again lose his place this Saturday but his Celtic career has only just started and he will get plenty more chances to show that he’s a good player.
10.) 15 Jan 2025 12:24:38
Tierney hasn't scored a hattrick against sevco so it's a no for me.
11.) 15 Jan 2025 13:30:39
Trusty needs to adapt to the more physical side of Scottish football and time to settle a bit like Boyota when he 1st came, Lyndon Dykes used to throw him about like a scud book and he turned out not to bad for us?.
12.) 15 Jan 2025 14:50:38
Think your maybe thinking about julienne troy although i don't think he ever got used to the physical side of our game. Boyata was away by the time they signed dykes.
13.) 15 Jan 2025 16:40:34
It was Chris Jullian that struggled to contain the physical presence of Dykes.
Jullian was still a good player,
So Trusty needs to learn from last night and move on.
14.) 15 Jan 2025 17:49:31
The boy who scored from the corner got in Trusty’s head. Trusty was more concerned of what he was doing rather than concentrating on the ball. That cost us the goal. Trusty rarely gets beat in the air!
I’d say it was quite an impressive piece of manipulation from the Dundee player!
15.) 15 Jan 2025 21:54:27
We normally play an attacking formation . This can often leave two big forwards waiting to husle either of our centre backs . . If a striker gets any change out of defender he becomes even more robust and with our centre backs often isolated they look more and more unable to manage their player .
We might need to think of getting another defender in close to help our men out.
14 Jan 2025 21:54:47
And despite his goal Yang fails to impress.
14 Jan 2025 21:53:00
Idah needs taken out the team. Trusty simply isn't good enough. Hatate needs sold. Engles cool. Some really poor defending by CCV and Johnstone.
1.) 14 Jan 2025 22:02:45
15 million for idah and trusty. Crazy stuff!
11 Jan 2025 10:29:49
Today seems the perfect day to try a 4-4-2. We have practically no wingers and Kyogo and Idah need games/ goals. Midfield of Calamac, Engles, Bernardo and McCowan.
1.) 11 Jan 2025 11:19:03
That’s true but a big part of the game today is using your 5 subs.
We haven’t got the subs to play a 4-4-2 for the full match.
I suppose we could change the formation after 65 minutes.
2.) 11 Jan 2025 11:52:35
Thought Montgomery was on loan at Motherwell?
3.) 11 Jan 2025 13:20:41
Montgomery got a bad injury not long after joining Motherwell last season.
Good to see the lad back available again.
4.) 11 Jan 2025 14:08:51
Does injury cancel the loan?
5.) 11 Jan 2025 15:05:51
Clubs come to an agreement . In this case maybe Celtic and Montgomery both felt that Celtic would be the best place to recuperate.
13 Jan 2025 12:02:02
Really Dc, in what world does Palma ever score a hat trick against Sevco? In fact even score?
02 Aug 2024 15:31:06
Was decent anytime I watched him. Apparently available for £2m, which is worth a punt I'd say.
18 Jan 2024 22:50:20
Hi is a Player.
29 Sep 2023 18:52:58
Fantastic news, when he plays we play. Best midfielder in the country when he is on it. I think this will kick start his season. HH.
27 Aug 2023 22:05:45
just heard same story from someone who added Rogers told £x available to bring players in and he is now getting £y. He won't accept being the scapegoat.
{Ed007's Note - Phone him back and tell him I said he"s a liar and just making stuff up. Was it the same guy that told me David de Gea would be in goal for us at Ibrox?
14 Jan 2025 22:47:29
Correct BB, Trusty and Idah were terrible. Dundee could have scored 5 tonight and that's the 2nd such performance in 2 weeks. Might be miles ahead in the league but performance levels are not good enough enough. Need a dominant centre half (we have 4 who are weak) and midfielder with some dig.
06 Jan 2025 19:24:00
Agree 100% JJ. As for fans chasing GT away as posted in response? He and the club can't reach agreement on a contract, that has bugger all to do with the fans. If he is that important a player BR would be intervening and making the club pay him top dollar to stay. He hasn't and this stinks to me of deflection.
31 Dec 2024 12:31:21
Valle for Taylor, Bernardo for Hatate. All about opinions though and little between them. Dame goes for Scales/ Trusty.
22 Dec 2024 19:43:10
Agree, Palma isn't good enough, Yang and Forrest are squad/ impact players. Maeda isn't great with teams who sit deep, he needs space. If there is a remote chance of Jota, even on loan let's hope we get it done. We badly need a winger who can create.
19 Dec 2024 20:49:14
Stats show 6 Eurpoa league plus Cup games and 27 league games. Plus Scotland games so 40 games or so.
