Good start to the window. 2 players in who are starters in mho. Goalie who fits the quota, and promising youngster. No money spent either which means more for other areas. 2 more of the same and we will be in a good position assuming no one goes. Got a funny feelin we got a big signing coming in, possibly a club record?

Don't think the GK is a prospect - think he's a direct replacement for Bain to meet EUFA rules. Like the look of the new lad but wonder whether we signed him as a winger or as a 10 in a new shape. Suspect we'll only sign other positions if someone leaves with the exception of a LB and a winger or 2. Interesting we've knocked a bid for Kenny. Wonder if he had a future after all.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 20:12:50
Which two players start?
Doohan is 3rd choice surely, a token signing for a quota we need to apply t!
Nygren has been playing in the Danish league, looks very good, but with the current squad no guarantee to start, highlight reels look good for any player, we have however signed him at the right time, he can't be sold for less than we've bought him for! I hope he can do a job, Lagerbielke has had 1 less international cap and is a similar age who we loaned out to a team in a better league, no one is hoping that he stays and can improve from his time away!
I hope we push on with signings, get rid of whoever is surplus or wants away, and get a good preseason under our belts, CDM, ST, LW and potentially another CB, long season, squad is vital.
3.) 27 Jun 2025 20:21:22
I think KT and Nygren start, the promising youngster is Osmand, Doohan fits the quota soz never made it clear.
{Ed007's Note - Doohan is obviously only Bain's replacement in the squad, one of THE best jobs in Scottish football btw, Celtic's 3rd choice 'keeper, you're basically paid to keep fit and train while picking up wedge and medals.}
4.) 28 Jun 2025 11:20:03
What a gig, a good few grand a week, plenty of travel and medals galore.

Hearing Frimpong about to be announced down Liverpool way very soon. Kerching 6m.
28 May 2025 13:17:07
Hearing Celtic are going to Portugal pre season, playing Esotoril and then moving on to Italy to play 2 friendlies. Nothing confirmed as far as i know.
1.) 28 May 2025 13:53:11
That would be great for the Celtic supporters because Estoril is in the Lisbon region.
2.) 29 May 2025 20:53:15
In Italy it is a mini tournament. We play Como and Ajax, I'm sure.
3.) 30 May 2025 16:09:15
were would best location for the estroli game be to book.
14 May 2025 13:26:51
Quick question guys, Robertson in his final year with liverpool and pubicly said that he would like to come to us after next season.
Ofcourse KT will be well in the door by then and AR is not the same player for me anymore and will be 32. Wud u take him?
1.) 14 May 2025 21:26:01
Andy Robertson, of course we'd take him. Roberston can cover for KT when's injured?.
{Ed007's Note - Can we use WWE tag team rules during games?}
2.) 14 May 2025 19:34:39
Not for me, he has deteriorated badly this season, and if goes back as badly next season, I don’t think he would offer much to us .
3.) 15 May 2025 03:26:38
Can just picture KT crawling to the touchline looking for the tag?.
10 Jan 2025 20:30:39
It seems we are shipping out 3 or 4 in the next week, with Bernabei, Holm, Welsh, and Palma looking at moves. Its also a potential 5-7m coming in. In my experience Celtic always seem to move on a few before bringing in new players. So with that said I would expect a player coming in late next week. No idea who or what position its just based on how we work.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 21:06:41
Nawrocki is for the off too im sure.
2.) 10 Jan 2025 21:53:48
I would hope so phlip, Orjasaeter being touted by Anthony Joseph.
I mentioned him a couple of wks ago, if i get this one right that's a 1% average i've got lol.
3.) 11 Jan 2025 07:37:57
He could be the cheaper option to some that have Been mentioned.
4.) 11 Jan 2025 08:07:23
He looks am exciting talent a right footer who plays on tbe left, the daily ranger saying 7m but he's only got 2 years left so not sure about that.

The Inamura deal is a puzzling one for me. I can see all the negatives etc but his age is the most puzzling as he is 23. Similar route to Reo but played a lot less, how much can u improve at 23 is the question.
We simply cannot have a 6.0 foot central defender alongside CCV.
We would be bullied at set pieces etc and spl teams would just target him.
So to the positives, does BR see something else in him we dont.
Im thinkin LB is obvious as he is good on the ball, but could he be brought in to be trained up to be a 6. Being 6.0 is much more a physical attribute in midfield and he can ping a ball, along with power and pace that BR goes on about. Added to that you have extra ariel ability.
I know im stretching guys but can't think of anything else.
{Ed007's Note - Hatate hadn't played many games (70ish) before we signed him either Ray, it's because they go to university before turning professional, Hatate was 22 when he made his professional debut & 24 when he signed for us.}
1.) 03 Jul 2025 13:29:29
Yea i thought it was something like that ed, but you could see how good Reo was straight away.
As good as Reo is im not sure he has improved much.
{Ed007's Note - ????
2.) 03 Jul 2025 13:29:39
6ft is alright height for a centre back and realistically centre backs tend to hit their prime 26-32. I think he has plenty of time for development. Give the guy a chance.
3.) 03 Jul 2025 13:49:52
It is a low risk signing at £250,000.
4.) 03 Jul 2025 15:38:46
Never mind the comparison with Hatate, is he better than Kobeyashi or Iwata?
5.) 03 Jul 2025 16:54:18
Better than a 5ft 10 Tierney?
6.) 03 Jul 2025 17:04:39
Seen a Japanese guy online saying we need to be patient with him but he has some potential. never seen the boy but hardly a ringing endorsement .
7.) 03 Jul 2025 17:06:58
But kt ain't a cb?
8.) 03 Jul 2025 18:51:57
KT should never be near CH . He only played there to accommodate an off form captain in Robertson.
9.) 04 Jul 2025 14:06:41
How can we compare Inamura with Hatate or anyone else, we haven’t seen him play . Initially I thought Japanese players would struggle against SPL rough and bullying players, but surely BR and others would expect that and if they think he is good enough, who am I to disagree.
01 Jul 2025 21:56:14
I see Aardon Jashari who we were linked with when Ange was here and I was one who would have loved him to come ended up going yo Brugge. Played agsinst us last season abd we all know how good they were, and is now off tp AC Milan in a 30m deal. If only eh.
30 Jun 2025 12:55:01
Just a random thought with Inamura and KT in mind. Cud BR be about to change our system slightly. Im thinking back to Lustig who while a RB was held back to a 3 at times and limited his forward runs. Cud we be about to do the same on the left with KTs fitness unsure yet and limit his forward runs a bit.
1.) 30 Jun 2025 15:16:41
Rayman, sad thing is we would then be limiting the best thing about Tierneys game, his crossing!
2.) 30 Jun 2025 17:33:34
BR seems very set in his ways regarding formation, style of play and personnel and although I would love to see us switch it up depending on opponent or how a game is shaping-up, I don't think he will tamper too much with what has worked for him and the club.
14 Jun 2025 18:12:21
Memo to CFC, go and get Nygren, Balikwisha, with KT and the Osmand boy then you will be prepared for any eventuality if big money comes in for Maeda etc.
No one is going to complain as you did your business early.
Then if need be you get someone in late if required. Its not rocket science.
1.) 14 Jun 2025 19:57:55
Nygren looks the part?.
2.) 14 Jun 2025 20:39:02
Apparently we've agreed a deal for Nygren. Looks a steel for the price quoted?.
13 Jun 2025 23:04:07
Must admit I like the look of Ben Nygren, what i like most is as soon as he plays a pass he is on the move and expecting to contribute again in the move. Looks classy and is prob a 10 for me rather than a winger but certainly enjoys running at a defense.
1.) 14 Jun 2025 01:10:12
We need a 10 badly!
2.) 14 Jun 2025 08:52:26
Rodgers does not play with a 10 so I doubt he will be a 10 for us, unless Rodgers changes his formation, which is possible.
3.) 14 Jun 2025 09:39:51
Is he not possibly a Hatate replacement? Not an out and out 10 as such but occupying those sorts of positions when we have the ball, which domestically is a lot of the time.
4.) 14 Jun 2025 13:32:31
I think he needs a day or two at Lennoxtown before we decide on his position.
03 Jul 2025 17:30:17
Ive been waiting on a big fee coming in. that should set the ball rolling for a couple of big signings at least.
27 Jun 2025 20:21:22
I think KT and Nygren start, the promising youngster is Osmand, Doohan fits the quota soz never made it clear.

23 Jan 2025 13:44:59
Cud a deal be done ed to help him with the tax issues between 2 clubs. A pay off or signing on fee.
{Ed007's Note - You want Celtic to help pay Jota's personal tax bill? No that's never going to happen.}
10 Jan 2025 21:53:48

I seen that looks a player.

Always liked him as a player so sad. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
16 Jun 2025 11:04:12
Dont worry Michael Nicholson got a new toaster after he got a shock from his old one like Tam from still game.
20 Feb 2025 13:59:14
Our last 5 transfers are KT, Jota, McCowan, Engels and Idah. Makes you believe the board are doing what BR wants and expects. Gives plenty of encouragement for the summer.
13 Feb 2025 12:39:21
Buzz there is 30 seconds left of the half, Taylor should be doing everything possible to prevent a shot. He didn't even engage with him physically. BR contantly goes on about mentality and physicality, its perfectly obv to me Taylor and Hatate don't fit that mould. I expect both to go in the summer. I don't see KT letting that happen he is much more likely to get physical with the player.
