Tommy Conway is incoming, definitely leaving Bristol, with his options being Middlesbrough or us. Salary expections not an issue and a fee that meets our boards “ best in Scotland expectations “He might be the only striker signed this summer.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 10:23:52
There is no way we're only signing one centre forward this window.
2.) 30 Jul 2024 12:59:24
We can't just sign one. We'd be one Injury away from a striker playing in 4 competitions. Two injuries away from Maeda up top. Gulp.
{Ed007's Note - Rodgers himself has said he wants to bring in another 2 strikers this window, Vata was offered the 3rd spot and refused.}
3.) 30 Jul 2024 13:01:35
Middlesbrough have bid £5m for him. Can't see us spending that unless we're admitting defeat to the Idah deal. We've been linked with Canada striker too.
4.) 30 Jul 2024 14:16:42
Ed, what the manager wants and gets are two very different things as we have seen in the past. We need 3 strikers for sure.
5.) 30 Jul 2024 15:36:14
From today’s reports I would have thought the third striker was the Canadian we had multiple bids turned down for. But knowing our board he may have been no 2.
6.) 30 Jul 2024 15:39:27
Mal, where did you hear about Conway?
If he's our 3rd striker behind Kyogo and Idah or competing with idah (should he sign) that's fine.
If he's the only striker we sign, that's another matter entirely ?
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 30 Jul 2024 20:41:58
It's very frustrating but I also think it's quite genuine, in this day and age it's hard to keep deals under Wraps, and agents will blab to increase the value of their player that'd their job, so we are obviously pondering slowly and unimaginatively!
30 Jun 2024 15:47:08
Are we really bringing back Stuart Armstrong? Anybody think this is a solid story?
1.) 30 Jun 2024 18:34:45
Absolutely not his best years are way behind him.
2.) 30 Jun 2024 22:12:02
No thank you.
3.) 01 Jul 2024 13:34:54
I would certainly have him back, i agree with kenlikeh but i still think we would get 3 years from him, superb on the ball and brings calm.
4.) 01 Jul 2024 14:19:23
This wouldn't be a Stuart Armstrong plus cash for MOR rumour, is it?
5.) 01 Jul 2024 15:42:20
I don't think so OAB4, I'm sure Armstrong is a free agent so wouldn't be part of any deal.
6.) 01 Jul 2024 16:44:52
Armstrong coming off the bench will get double figures in goals. Iwata coming off the bench will hit double figures in telling passes. That's per season. Armstrong all day long. Would be great buisness.
7.) 01 Jul 2024 18:07:22
32 year old Armstrong who would be as good a signing as James McCarthy! Aye great shout! I’ll chime back in a year when he’s making 15k a week n has played 3 games for us. Talk about regressing.
8.) 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?
9.) 12 Jul 2024 00:26:09
I am rarely in favour of signing players who played for us before, left us when at their peak and returning to wind down career . I am certainly not in favour of S Armstrong.
16 Jan 2024 15:20:55
What’s going on today? Lyndon Dykes and Owen Beck both on the way? . Loans until end of season.
1.) 16 Jan 2024 17:36:01
The Dykes thing was sparked by that moron Kenny Miller stating he'd go to Celtic if asked. Non starter.
Might be something in the Beck one depending on Liverpool's stance with the injuries they have.
2.) 16 Jan 2024 17:40:29
There are so many rumours and has been so much wild speculation, I have no idea who we are trying to sign and where we are looking?
I never build my hopes up or have any wish-list as for the last decade or more we have signed plenty of players I hadn't heard of! Just want the 'window' to close asap without losing any star players and coming out of it stronger than when we went in?
3.) 16 Jan 2024 18:03:47
Don't think we'd get dykes on a loan.
4.) 17 Jan 2024 08:04:48
I would take Dykes, definitely something different from what we have.
5.) 18 Jan 2024 08:17:16
We already have a big guy who can’t control a baw.
6.) 19 Jan 2024 04:46:00
I don't think CCV would pass a EPL medical right now, so he'll be with us for the run-in. MOR is a worry though, however, Gerona have never paid even half the money that we would want for any player in the past. They are also under the City Group, who are under great scrutiny for financial irregularities, therefore, we should be safe here too.
31 Dec 2023 13:25:27
Mc Kenna on loan? Only a rentive rumour.
1.) 31 Dec 2023 14:13:32
I like McKenna.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 14:56:58
Well phillips is away and lager looks like he's off. that just leaves ccv scales Welsh and nawrocki.
3.) 31 Dec 2023 15:03:02
Would definitely bring McKenna in, he is out of contract in May so could probably get him for 1m perhaps.
4.) 01 Jan 2024 11:21:12
Was never his biggest fan at Aberdeen but he's been playing regularly for Scotland and played premierleague level. Not sure on the extent of Welsh's injury but we don't want to be left short. Will he replace Scales in the starting 11 though or end up another Phillips signing?
15 Aug 2023 13:24:37
Medicals tomorrow for Largerbeike and Frazer?
1.) 15 Aug 2023 13:35:37
Hopefully just the first one. Fraser is crap.
2.) 15 Aug 2023 13:52:54
Magicpole, is he worse than our current wingers - by that I include those on the bench? As a free he is worth a short term deal imo.
3.) 15 Aug 2023 14:02:19
Same Magicpole ?.
4.) 15 Aug 2023 14:29:21
I think he's going to be as successful as McCarthy ?♂️.
5.) 15 Aug 2023 14:47:37
I think Fraser would perform quite well for us but a lot of fans are rightfully displeased about the optics of selling your star player for megabucks and then bringing in a free transfer with 59 apps and 3 goals in the past 3 seasons.
6.) 15 Aug 2023 15:17:27
He not good enough for me. He is another McCarthy, will cost us a lot in wages and play now and again. He isn't better than Maeda or our new Japanese player. He is not going to turn out like sinclair but if he does I'll eat my shorts but I can't see it. He may be an international player but he hasn't stood out in any game I have watched.
The young swede will be a very good signing I think.
7.) 15 Aug 2023 16:11:53
Why are we not looking for another younger Jota or Roberts type?
{Ed007's Note - Marco Tilio?}
8.) 15 Aug 2023 16:39:36
He's forgotten about already Ed ?.
{Ed007's Note - That Yang looks like another dud as well doesn't he? ??
9.) 15 Aug 2023 17:13:09
The optics of selling Jota was that it wasn’t exactly a voluntary or a forced sale by Board . To try harder to hold on to Jota would probably have led too further stars forcing their way out it’s hardly fair to reflect on the optics of selling Jota.
10.) 15 Aug 2023 17:31:29
I didn't say there was anything wrong with selling Jota. I said the optics of replacing him with Ryan Fraser wouldn't go down well with some fans.
11.) 15 Aug 2023 17:55:58
Ed ??.
{Ed007's Note - ??
12.) 15 Aug 2023 18:38:27
It would be crazy to pay any more than a fraction of the price rec’d for Jota into buying a replacement. Celtic like all clubs from small leagues with little broadcasting revenue just have to be frugal.
13.) 15 Aug 2023 20:07:45
We don't have to be frugal all the time mate. We can afford to spend a bit more on proven quality when the time is right. Like I said, I think Fraser would do well but be honest, it doesn't get you dreaming. Podence has a very similar record and he'll be better received because he's a more exotic name. Tilio is one Ed mentioned and I'm looking forward to seeing him as he seems in the Jota mould.
14.) 15 Aug 2023 21:38:41
Maybe we are bringing in Fraser to replace Forrest.
15.) 15 Aug 2023 23:42:33
Maybe we are bringing in Fraser because you actually need some Scottish players in your squad, just a thought like.
16.) 16 Aug 2023 17:09:53
The proven quality for a position we need is very hard to get at the right time . We as a club should be able to complete in buying proven quality at right time, we should also be able to match wages and bonuses . However on the negative side is the poor quality of our SPL and our seemingly worsening climatical conditions, girlfriend/ wife often seek better climate and this all add up to the difficulty in getting proven quality at the right time at a competitive price.

Mark, listening to the podcast, you know I’m a techno dinasour, so can’t comment. I was never awar that tavanier is the highest paid player in Scotland, what a mess they are in. just a quick one on the manager, the last time we didn’t know that the board had shafted him with regards to spending money and Lecister gave him 24 hours otherwise Rafa Benitez was getting the job.
{Ed007's Note - Och we'll get you sorted out so you can get into the live chat, you should come on one night too, it's not difficult just like chatting on the phone at your end.
Tavernier is on £38k/40k a week.}
1.) 26 Aug 2024 22:11:56
Thanks Ed, I needed cheering up. Tav on that kind of money made me chuckle.
{Ed007's Note - ????
2.) 27 Aug 2024 08:01:42
Aye, even during the ebt years and the messy aftermath of facepainters etc. not being paid, how many players on the mega money took a cut or even offered to pay some of those small businesses the (pennies in comparison) small debts owed?
How many supporters organisations jumped in to help pay some of them either?
25 Aug 2024 20:25:27
Peter Lawell didn’t deserve that today, He is the Chairman and there is a time and place to challenge his direction within the club. Today was not that day.
Today was the day to realize that the manager is doing the talking for the supporters of this club. Being the best inSPFl is not good enough for him. He has repeatedly over the last period given his criteria for progression. He has given the board his last ultimatum to bring in his targets.
I said this again on the live chat today and was surprised by the people who don’t get it. We have a deadline of Friday to bring in what the manager requires. He might be gone if we get the same guff that we’ve had for he last 3/ 4 years. Buy the players and let us get our respect back in europe.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 20:56:47
Absolutely Malika.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 21:01:18
I totally agree we can’t be intimidating Celtic employees Blueco fans were doing it at Ibrox and it was shocking they were hanging about outside confronting the players last season. Its not on write email protest on the terrace or stands of Celtic park. That man is only human and deserves respect whether you like him or not.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 21:50:24
Amazed me that a man of his wealth and status walks to his car without some form of security. Now our fans are better than rangers but don't be fooled that there isn't grade a numpties mixed in with us. Interested to see if he was a volitile and youthful character how thst would have developed. A mark of his character that he tolerated it.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 22:28:25
Anybody who thinks it was ok what happened to lawell tday shd hang there head in shame. Although he has his faults he has done a tremendous job at celtic, look at crumbledome n see where we could be. If not happy with board put banners up etc but to intimidate him in that was is just shamefull hh.
5.) 26 Aug 2024 01:51:06
Absolutely shocking behaviour today regarding PL but it doesn't surprise me to be honest.
All we need to do is look back to the carry on buy some fans when the Dark side one there first title under slippy.
6.) 26 Aug 2024 10:46:20
I feel sorry for Lawwell he's been a good servant to the club over the years and didn't deserve that. The one shouting ar*ehole to him should be banned from games if he's a ST holder imo.
26 Jan 2024 11:32:36
Juergen Klopp has signed a pre contract agreement with Glasgow Celtic. He will join commencing 25/ 26 season, until then he will study meticulously the environment he will enter.
He says he already know what drinking Buckie and eating square sausage will do to his metabolism, Andy Robinson told him to try and balance his diet with some Fash, and he has been told by Virgil to prioritize learning the language. Welcome Jurgen.
1.) 26 Jan 2024 12:58:30
Is he any good in goals.
2.) 26 Jan 2024 13:49:02
You can’t bring a manager to the west of Scotland that’s a ringer for Deirdre Barlow.
22 Dec 2023 07:52:19
Welcome Back GB. your stance on the values of everything our Club stands for is appreciated and applauded by many. by your leadership you create our 12th man in the Ground. We need your leadership and defense of all that this club stands for more than ever now. Fcuk the Board.
1.) 22 Dec 2023 09:50:00
The board are in a lose-lose situation here and it's beautiful to see. If they didn't let the GB back in they'd be under serious pressure from other supporters and you just know their first game back in the anti-board stuff will be stronger and louder than ever.
2.) 22 Dec 2023 10:19:03
I hope the GB behave from now on because we can’t afford to see them getting another ban.
They need to put Celtic first and pull everyone together in this title fight.
3.) 22 Dec 2023 11:20:26
Hail Hail.
4.) 22 Dec 2023 11:34:55
Buzz. Behave is a multifaced point of view . I Hope the don't get arrogant and taunt the board for the sake of it.
5.) 22 Dec 2023 11:52:00
I agree DRB,
We need to move forward together.
6.) 22 Dec 2023 13:15:35
Kev bhoy, we are still in the process of getting relationships back together and I think we should build on the feel good factor, that we are now starting to build again . I don’t think gloating about our Board in a lose lose situation and it’s good t see is appropriate for fans who want and need wins . IMO there is nothing to lose by getting on same Hymn sheet.
7.) 22 Dec 2023 13:49:35
I knew they would be back in time for the sevco game. As Shankly said
'At a football club there's a Holy Trinity-The players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques"
I personally liked this one on What makes a team-"A football team is like a piano. You need 8 men to carry it and 3 who can play the damn thing"
8.) 22 Dec 2023 13:53:10
I’m really glad they are back as like it or not the atmosphere has been dreadful since they have been banned. It does lift the crowd and as such the players and we definitely need to pull together now. Like it or not we have a serious title challenge on now, and we need to be pulling in the same direction . My hope would be that we push on from here, hopefully win the title and the Scottish cup, and then protest against the board/ lawell / Desmond .
To say we are entitled as we complain but to be in this position with circa 80 million in the bank is foolhardy,
I’ve said it before if the Sevconian had us in this position they would put the foot down on us and pull further away. I feel the relationship between the fans and the board / lawell is irreparable now, and will resurface anytime we do not improve or play badly for a concerted period. Bringing lawell back after so many of us were finally happy to get rid of him smacks of jobs for the boys at best and not caring of the fans at worst. It’s not a forward thinking option, and we obviously need new blood, new ideas and a more modern approach to the club. But like I say now it not the time to try and force change .
9.) 22 Dec 2023 14:06:08
Steff
Absolutely Directors should only be there to write cheques and run the business a football man should run the football side which is where Celtics structure is wanting.
The need for a DOF to oversee recruitment and coaching and to ensure continuity when managers come and go has never been more evident.
The problem at the minute isn’t just the lack of quality but the lack of coherence with players brought in to suit the previous managers system unable to adapt to the new managers and not having the right players to let us change system.
We don’t have wingers to play 4-4-3 and we don’t have wing backs to play 3-5-2.
10.) 22 Dec 2023 15:19:23
Celtic Calling, there's no feel good factor, we've been poor for the majority of the season so far and have just been seen off twice on the bounce. If they want to stick to the football songs then great, if not I support that as well but I suspect it will be the latter.
11.) 22 Dec 2023 18:09:04
Well said Buzz. No one can disagree with that, no matter which side they are on.
Have a great christmas and look forward to getting educated by you with your stats in 2024.
12.) 22 Dec 2023 19:34:03
The people I have contact with all say that the GB back in will improve the atmosphere at games . I was stupid enough to think that a better atmosphere would bring about at least some feel good factor .
I am sorry Kev. I got it so wrong.
13.) 22 Dec 2023 20:21:46
A win tomorrow might do the trick mate.
14.) 22 Dec 2023 23:52:18
Of course. Kevbhoy, anything else and Christmas will have to be cancelled .
I think we will get win ok.
03 Sep 2023 11:53:51
Hi Ed, is there Live Chat today? Or am I doing something senile again ?.
{Ed007's Note - Sorry, Mal it's not working mate.}
1.) 03 Sep 2023 12:02:30
Thanks Ed, keep the faith. The only thing that matters is that the Celtic are working today.
{Ed007's Note - Click HERE Mal, that's our discord and most of the lads are on there

25 Aug 2024 10:36:06
He’s very decent, so that fee isn’t surprising, that’s why we wanted him on loan with a 10 million fixed fee, no protracted negotiations to let others in . We failed. Thie list of targets that we through the media are aware of is getting smaller every day, that’s the worrying part, except of course if we have a seconday list that nobody is aware of.
30 Jul 2024 14:16:42
Ed, what the manager wants and gets are two very different things as we have seen in the past. We need 3 strikers for sure.
31 Jan 2024 07:45:38
Adam Adah is a very decent player, he has been hit by a spate of injuries over the last 2 seasons, but by all accounts in I the Irish camp and his inclusion in the first team squad at Norwich he is back to full fitness. He may not be the marquee signing that many want, but he could just prove to be the added firepower to get us over the line for the league. He’s quick, strong, gets past defenders and can finish.
We are going to have another loan or 2 in the next 2 days.
We will spend in the summer and in the meantime the salary structure is under review, once that is out of the way the bank account will be open.
Keep the Faith.
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.
17 Aug 2023 08:36:55
That would be outstanding business, we should have had him for a lot less of course in 2020 when Lenny was chasing him from the Greek side, can’t remember which one. We were close then so I hope we can do it now.
28 Aug 2024 21:06:17
Pity nobody else has. Were going to get one more loan an a load of guff from this board.
24 Aug 2024 13:12:15
Wonderful News Michael. The wife will probably let you know when it’s hatrick time ? Congratulations.
19 Aug 2024 16:21:22
That’s exactly what we need, I’ve been wanting that little band for a while, take a while to get it done but it looks to me that oShea and Engels are happy to come and are making noises to their clubs.
17 Aug 2024 09:45:18
We have now retained, not improved the squad from last season.
BR has given the money men his targets, let’s see what get delivered now.
OShea looks like he’s coming, he’s already started jiggling with Burnley and social media. it does look like a loan with 10 million option at the end of season, only because full blown transfer/ contract negotiations would not make the deadline. I think Engels can also be an option, bu easier to get him in full time. Mivoski and Conway are both gone to Girona and Middlesbrough, so a 3rd striker is a possibility.
15 Aug 2024 12:17:59
Exactly DRB, we have nobody mapping out anything for these kids, it seems to me that wecan attract great young kids because of the magic associated with our club, there is no league structure that they can develop in. We should be having a loan and development manager who is actively progressing these kids away from Celtic while retaining their services for an extended period of time to see how they grow, fill out, progress or whatever you want to call it. We are doing the club and these kids a great disservice by how we treat them now.
