: The Rangers International Have stated they will take Matt O'Riley on loan this season as long as we pay his wages. They have given us 48 hours to decide.
1.) 11 Jul 2024 09:21:21
Maybe Celtic could also give them Free money, similar to the comical Tillman deal from Bayern Munich ?.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 10:28:33
How did that go? Have they another court case in the offing, suing Bayern Munich?
01 Jul 2024 20:23:46
I asked AI about any transfer rumours/ activity
As of July 1, 2024, there are a few Celtic transfer rumors circulating:
Celtic are reportedly interested in Swedish teenage midfielder Pontus Dahbo. The 18-year-old is valued at around £3.4 million.
The club has set a non-negotiable price tag for Matt O'Riley, as Southampton are considering a record-breaking deal for the Danish international.
Celtic are said to be tracking Mathias Kvistgaarden, with Brondby having set a price for the player.
The Hoops are in the market for a new goalkeeper following Joe Hart's retirement. However, two potential options are now off the table, including Dominik Livakovic, who was linked with a move to Fenerbahce.
There are rumors about Paulo Bernardo from Benfica, though details are limited.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in Matt O'Riley, who played against them in last season's Champions League.
It's worth noting that Celtic have yet to make their first signing of the summer, but transfer activity could be picking up soon at Celtic Park.
Hail hail, keep the faith.
1.) 02 Jul 2024 00:08:43
Livakovic is already at fenerbache . Has been for a year.
2.) 03 Jul 2024 10:37:27
Another day of inaction from the board. To be fair, they are probably away on an expensive holiday, paid for by the wage rises they awarded themselves and a bumper dividend, through spending no money. Bless.
3.) 12 Jul 2024 00:22:52
Celtic Board have a habit in not issuing rumours about possible future purchases. They don’t like the selling club or agent releasing rumours either .
Although sometimes selling club / agent release information to try to get a bidding war going.
11 Jun 2024 15:06:37
Is Patrick Roberrs not available on a free transfer?
{Ed007's Note - Thankfully not, he has another year on his Sunderland contract and a years option next summer.}
1.) 11 Jun 2024 18:31:45
Please no, I think a poor Sunderland team is his limit. That ship sailed many years ago.
2.) 12 Jun 2024 08:29:33
He would still be the best winger at the club. Yang, Palma and Khun are p ish. Khun will need to push on because the other two are not good enough.
19 May 2024 14:21:02
Sure was posted before but heard we are interested in Sammy Szmodics. I know he older than model we go for.?
1.) 21 May 2024 17:24:30
Kwan, he is a lot older and appears to have a higher value than we are likely to want to play for a player of his age.
27 Aug 2023 13:53:58
Heard we ate still in for Croation keeper's our bid was higher, , has he not signed with Fernebache?
1.) 27 Aug 2023 14:24:48
Kwaj I hope you are correct mate that transfer has been a three part trilogy.
2.) 27 Aug 2023 14:52:21
I thought he'd already signed a 5 year deal with Fenerbahce a few days ago?
3.) 27 Aug 2023 16:08:44
He signed for them on Friday,5 year deal 55k a week, we would never go near that kind of salary.
4.) 27 Aug 2023 18:57:50
£55K a week, ooft

As things stand what's your starting 11?

As things stand ma starting 11 isnae good enough.

Kasper

Nygren
Idah.

JFP ? ? ?
PTFP, let's hope by the time the window closes we've got a few more signings through the door as that starting 11 gives me the fear.
Upgrades at CB and MF, as well as options on the wing and upfront would strengthen the squad.

Pedro
100%.
Tu es Petrus.
5.) 07 Jul 2025 21:25:27
Talking about options on the wing, we’re supposedly close to signing M-A B. to be honest he doesn’t really fill me with excitement does anyone know much about the lad, a read a while back 1of our posters saying he doesn’t have great pace, which for me is a big thing in a winger.
05 Jul 2025 14:33:28
How do you think Idah and Kenny together up top would fair?
1.) 05 Jul 2025 14:44:15
Don’t think Kenny will get much game time, watch out for Osmand ?.
2.) 05 Jul 2025 17:16:01
Don't think osmand will get game time.
3.) 05 Jul 2025 17:32:43
It’d certainly be interesting to see, but neither will get as much game time as I’d like to see. Kenny will probably best go elsewhere for his career potential.
4.) 05 Jul 2025 18:43:10
I would like ro see a better attacking combination than that if we are serious about improvement in Europe and defending our crown.
5.) 05 Jul 2025 18:48:44
I very much doubt that BR will pay two up front. He can’t, in his words see how he can fit 2 up front.
6.) 05 Jul 2025 21:33:08
Kenny will likely be sold, Bolton have already bid £500K for him and had it knocked back.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 05 Jul 2025 15:53:59
Doesn't matter who is up top with Idha. He will still be unable to control a football.
8.) 06 Jul 2025 07:21:44
I think neither will be 1st team regulars and may go out to get game time.
I think these guys were for the longterm and the club will still be looking at 1st team ready players but will have to wait to get deals done as clubs will be holding out to see interest in their players and players will be assessing their options.
Unfortunately that is how this works unless your going for loans or free agent, or going down the leagues to buy players ?.
9.) 06 Jul 2025 07:26:51
We should loan Osmand out to a hibs, Motherwell or Aberdeen to get used to playing and get regular game time. I would prefer if he went to a Scottish team playing in Europe to get European experience if he isn't going to be in our match day squads.
10.) 06 Jul 2025 15:13:07
Surely before making any decision on loaning a striker out, it would make sense to at lest see him playing first . Imagine if we had loaned out our previous striker loaned from Fulham, Dembele may never have played an SPL match for us .
I cannot understand the rush to send players out on loan. We have over the years a few players who have benefited, but very few . It shows little respect and reliance on our coaching team, that players leave Celtic park expecting a better opportunity of making all the way to the top by leaving on loan. All young players we sign deserve at least 6 mths to a year to show the coaches just how good they are .

What's the deal with Fifa Club World Cup? Just what's needed another football tournament in the Calendar.
1.) 10 Jun 2025 17:21:09
Better than a summer with no football!
2.) 10 Jun 2025 17:54:52
Beats cricket.

Staying in and hammering 6 inch nails intae yir ane heid beats cricket.
4.) 10 Jun 2025 18:40:36
I will. be watching cricket. ?.
5.) 11 Jun 2025 06:20:28
Think it’s a good idea but flawed in its place on calendar, we’ve seen from internationals that games at this part of season (outwith the nations league finals) are just not being competitive enough, players need there breaks and this tourney will either show the same or catch up the players later in season, but as someone said it beats the cricket/ tennis/ tour de France etc.
6.) 11 Jun 2025 09:11:23
Greed has well and truly made it's mark, instigated by FIFA and UEFA either inventing extra tournaments or fixing existing draws.
Most managers and players say there are too many games in a calendar year - especially with International matches scattered throughout. Clubs even arrange money spinning tours with competitive matches for pop-up trophies and now we have yet another full-on tourney when most players would be enjoying a close-season and recovering.
Nonetheless, hypocritically, I will probably watch some of it to avoid cricket as well and the consolation for me is Celtic players will probably be resting up and watching it also.
7.) 11 Jun 2025 17:17:33
I very much doubt if UEFA and FIFA are the greedy bast. rds who are at their contriving best attempting to prevent elite clubs from creating a money grabbing tournament without UEFA and FIFA getting their cut (s) . The big clubs from the 5 big football countries in Europe are always plotting special money making tournaments . Thankfully UEFA or FIFA have some control over them.
I haven’t knowledge if the same situation exists in other Continents, but I do think it gives unfair advantage in Europe to the big football countries clubs.
8.) 11 Jun 2025 17:15:07
If Celtic and the Rangers both had cricket teams, i bet we would hammer them LOL.
9.) 11 Jun 2025 17:33:50
@Bhoy88 it's nothing more than a bunch of glorified friendlies to let the rich teams get a bit richer.
10.) 11 Jun 2025 22:29:35
Rich teams? Have you seen some of the teams in it? Anyway as long as Sevco aren't in it and getting £50 million for it, I'll be enjoying watching and betting on it?.
22 May 2025 18:48:56
Was it Idah that says Bernardo is one of best players in squad? I like Bernardo but feel McGowans performances have earned him a start at weekend. Kuhn and Forrest with Maeda through middle for me but know he won't choose that.
1.) 22 May 2025 19:39:19
McGowan is a good impact player off the bench with his high energy and direct play.
He seems to get more joy when he’s fresh and his opponents get tired.
I’m expecting the same lineup as last week.
Ladbrokes are currently giving a boosted 7/ 2 for Celtic to get at least 3 goals and to also get at least 7 corners in the bet builder.
That’s brilliant Odds, which will fall the closer we get to kickoff time.
2.) 22 May 2025 19:47:55
McGowan is a squad player that I believe possibly qualifies as home grown so also serves a wider purpose, I wouldn’t say he’s the same calibre of Bernardo by a mile,
3.) 22 May 2025 21:36:08
McGowan? McCowan? I think that's really harsh Jaa11. I love McCowan. I think he more often than not changes games when he comes on with his energy and commitment. I'd love to see him getting more game time to progress. Although I feel the same about Bernardo to be honest. I don't think he gets enough time either.
4.) 22 May 2025 21:40:21
McGowan for me hasn’t impressed with any games he’s started but impressed with the games he’s came on for, even tho he’s a local boy and I am desperate to see him do well it’s got to be Bernardo for me.
5.) 22 May 2025 22:27:30
Bernardo for me?.
{Ed007's Note - Seriously? Bernardo that only scored 3 goals and had 4 assists in 43 apps over a player that scored 10 goals, 15 assists in 48 apps? But Engels is sh1te because most of his goals are penalties?
I'm convinced you either don't watch football, don't understand the game or are just basically an idiot.}
6.) 23 May 2025 09:22:30
Last season I think Bernardo had more appearances and built up some momentum and confidence. Lately he has hardly featured and it shows.
7.) 23 May 2025 06:12:59
lol I’m unsure if that at me Ed, I also like Engels, I think slightly too much was asked of him this year, prob due to an injury to Bernardo and mcGCowan not being good enough, for me Engels and Bernardo are of same mould, I think Bernardo technically better while Engels physically stronger, both fit perfect mould of being high end youngsters, I just don’t see Luke in that way .
At start season that midfield was awesome the rotation of Bernardo and Luke for hetate and Engels was rolling over teams but Luke’s quality faded and Bernardo got injured, br went on to trust his winning team and find a consistent mid 3, felt for Engels towards end of season, I can’t remember exact statement but his age stats etc matched anything an 11m player his is doing over Europe and had he already been here we’d want 25m for him, can’t argue with that, he did from watching him every game suffer last few months but add Kuhn Johnstone ccv to that list.
{Ed007's Note - No lol, a couple of days ago Bhoy88 spent the day arguing about how Engels is a waste of money, not worth the hype etc because 8 of his 10 goals came from penalties, so if we're judging one of our midfielders by their goalscoring we need to do that with them all ?
8.) 23 May 2025 11:43:37
This time next year the folk questioning Engels will be getting pats on the back for coming on and saying that they're really glad to be proved wrong.
9.) 23 May 2025 17:01:09
I am a little bit disappointed with Bernardo, after a reasonable season on loan Bernardo hasn’t improved as much as I would like him to do this year in his first permanent year . I have heard it said that he and Engels don’t play well together.
McGowan has been ok this season, maybe not a lot was expected from McGowan and so the bar may have been set lower for him in many supporters eyes .
Unfortunately both Bernardo and McGowan both appear to be better playing in the later part of game rather than starting game but one of them will probably have to start game on Saturday.
22 Mar 2025 06:28:02
Would you take Kyogo back for 3.5 million?
1.) 22 Mar 2025 06:52:23
No, had his day. for all chances we create he didn’t score enough in his last 12-18 months.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 09:28:39
If he wants to make his mark in one of the top leagues he's not going to entertain a return to us and i'm good with that.
3.) 22 Mar 2025 09:40:36
No. Agree with Zosh. I was actually hoping we upgraded him last summer but it didn't happen so this summer it is.
4.) 22 Mar 2025 11:26:00
I'd love Kyogo back: but by asking out in this manner, he may not have a way back.
5.) 22 Mar 2025 12:17:42
Another case of the grass not being greener like many before him. Although Idah is still struggling to be first choice, it would be a huge kick in the stones if Kyogo returned as main striker
Anyway as stated above, his best work in a Celtic jersey seems to be well behind him going by the last 12-18 months at Celtic Park.
Meanwhile, Maeda has come on a ton since Kyogo left, although I would like to see us do what we failed to do last January and replace Kyogo.
6.) 22 Mar 2025 12:50:23
I thought Kyogo had made his mark in a top 5 league when he joined Rennes in France . Many people think that he may not be good enough to play in a top 5 league, I think he would be wise not proving them right.
7.) 22 Mar 2025 12:58:54
Why? Just buy a better striker!
8.) 22 Mar 2025 14:02:55
I wouldn’t take Kyogo back.
He wasn’t good enough in his last 2 seasons.
9.) 22 Mar 2025 17:56:54
He's not good enough though Des. His finishing was no where near what that level requires. Hence why he was rubbish in Europe. Hence why he's literally not getting a game for a mid-table French side.
05 Jul 2025 13:44:12
Think Ben Somers turned out well.
13 Jun 2025 12:32:05
Geubbel Geubbel :)
29 Jan 2025 18:57:54
It only takes 1 game. c'mon Yang show us what you can really do. Adam Idah step forward, would take a score draw happily ?.
14 Jul 2024 11:16:14
Ear ? I heard he was lol.
01 Jul 2024 20:18:10
I think you would be getting a better player. 1 year deal with option of 2nd depending on appearances. Look at Moy?
12 Jul 2025 13:39:47
In regards to that you may be right. It's primarily b team so first run out for remainder today still early doors though. The demand on players I feel its BR ensuring they get a break as possible before the hard work begins. He first play Idah in Cork so we just need to trust he knows what he is doing. Surely he has earned that by now?
09 Jul 2025 18:46:24
A few hours later. ??.
08 Jul 2025 21:09:49
Insurance stood out by miles.
07 Jul 2025 16:51:15
That makes so much sense if your onion. Our club is well run and as fans we all have our opinions and wishes when it comes to transfers. However that has to be one of the most ridiculous reasons for justification of feelings in relation to transfers.
04 Jul 2025 19:48:37
He he let's enjoy this season first buzz lol. You think maybe ones involved will still be here? Possibly transferred especially if they maintain last seasons form.
