Daniel Cummings signs for West Ham. Another youngster leaves the Club ?.
1.) 30 May 2025 14:44:58
We've known this for months. He refused a new contract and made his intention clear. Another that will most likely end up no higher than English championship if he doesn't fade away like most the others that have left recently.
2.) 30 May 2025 15:38:16
The route to the first team is non existent for too many of our youth 'academy' and either they are deemed not good enough for Celtic, or the opportunities to break through are far too difficult. (Or both? )
3.) 30 May 2025 16:08:37
It’s funny a large portion of the support blame the youth player for leaving most of the time.
It’s the fault of the board and there lack of structure and almost amateur structure the club pertains. We continue to live in the past with footballing structure and that continues to be a detriment to our ability to retain and compete with the “big clubs”.

In 2015/ 16 The Development squad had their Invincible season and consisted of players such as Tony Ralston, Jamie Mccart, Ross Doohan, Calvin Miller, Fiacre Kelleher (Caoimhín's brother) and Regan Henry. Ralston is backup to AJ, Jamie McCart is with Hearts, Doohan is coming back as 3rd choice, Calvin Miller is with Falkirk, Fiacre Kelleher is with Colchester and Regan Henry - no idea where he is at the moment as lasst heard in 2021 with Forest Green.
Doesn't like like many have kicked on.

I don't know why anyone gets so worked up about youth players anyway. I couldn't care less how many are in team as long as the team are winning. Ye great to see some make it but it's not that important to me. If the player is good enough he'll make it, if not he won't. Looking at what happens to the majorities career after leaving us shows they are not good enough for us.
6.) 31 May 2025 10:11:27
Reports are consistent that 90% of academy players don’t make professional footballers. In England 97% of academy players never play in an EPL team.
It looks as if our academy holds its own, in reality a very low bar to cross to hold it’s own.
7.) 31 May 2025 12:19:04
The manager is watching these players every day in training and if they were good enough they would be in the first team, and any manager would be delighted to promote young players into the team. Unfortunately the youth players don’t appear to be up to scratch and the failure to win the Lowland league against part time players who train twice a week with lower facilities proves that.
8.) 02 Jun 2025 20:07:42
A lot of the people that are also to blame are the support.
A huge majority of the support won't give players a chance, especially if they weren't brung in for multimillions.
{Ed007's Note - It's the board penny pinching used to get thrown about a lot when youngsters did come through. The gap is massive from the B team set up to the first team but I 100% agree that most youngsters would be deemed not good enough after a couple of misplaced passes, poor timed tackles or losing their man - but that is part and parcel of the pressure of playing for Celtic in this modern world of microscopic stats & social media etc
Look at the way Scales and GT have been treated by large parts of the support yet we've spent millions trying to find better than them and haven't, that's not their fault.}
9.) 03 Jun 2025 15:45:25
If the youngsters were good enough they would have found a pathway to first team football especially if Board were penny pinching . Many have left us in a blaze of glory but, I don’t see see any of them who were too good for Celtic, making the progress that some Barcelona youngsters have made . Two x 17 year olds.
10.) 05 Jun 2025 22:38:44
I was told by the family of one of the recent youngster that left, that the reason for him leaving was down to certain clauses or conditions that Celtic were insistent was put in their new contract. The my said that they felt Celtic were playing on them because they knew they were a Celtic supporting family. No ideas what the clauses or conditions were and wasn’t sure to believe it however the more youngsters we see leaving makes me think that there might be something in it.
11.) 06 Jun 2025 04:45:39
People slating the board for not bringing through youngsters yet caning the boy Engels as not good enough. It doesn’t matter what nationality, age or price you are, some fans will always complain and say you’re not good enough just because. The problem isn’t the board, the manager or the youth system, it’s the SPFL and ourselves the fans. There’s no “easy” game In the SPFL to risk a youth player. Go to a 16+ league and watch us play more youth in games vs Morton, Ayr, thistle. Let’s just stop blaming him he board for things they can’t control.
25 Jan 2025 18:01:41
Hope this complete Scottish msm shte but rumours that Kyogo medical not gone well. only passing it on ?♂️.
1.) 25 Jan 2025 18:40:32
Probably his shoulder.
Although Kyogo hasn’t missed 2 games in a row since he came back from a hamstring injury at the start of April 2022. ( 2 and 3/ 4 years ago )
2.) 25 Jan 2025 22:20:08
More SMSM bull, He passed our medical with the same issue. As soon as we announce Jota, Rennes will anounce Kyogo.
28 May 2021 15:54:22
Told Favre.
31 Aug 2018 18:50:17
Latest rumour on the French sites that Dembélé will sign for Lyon tonight and be loaned back to us until January. might be complete cross. or my schoolboy French lol. but few sites picking it up now. ðŸ€.
1.) 31 Aug 2018 19:01:34
If the fee is £20 million plus I’d go with that, if not they can jog on till January and try again.
2.) 31 Aug 2018 19:10:11
Sacre Blue mon amee! Ce serait bien.
3.) 31 Aug 2018 19:50:24
I’ll tell you another thing. I would play Benkovic on Sunday.
Gordon
Gamboa
Benny
Boyata
Broon
Ntcham
Rogic
McGreggir
Eddy
Griff
Sinclair
8.1 easy.
4.) 31 Aug 2018 19:51:55
Lots of rumours about him going tonight, but not being loaned back.
5.) 31 Aug 2018 19:55:16
Reports in France saying Moussa done deal.
Also another that they will loan us him back until January.
Taxi driver of long standing.
6.) 31 Aug 2018 20:02:10
On France sports news, £20 million, tonight.
7.) 31 Aug 2018 20:17:40
C’est last vie as my auld ma would say as her coupon was grubbed by a last minute penalty.
8.) 31 Aug 2018 20:32:24
He’s away.
Thanks for all the Hunskelping big man.
Bon voyage
As my old ma would say also say to her hopes of what she could do with her winnings.
That got gubbed due to that late ipenalty.
Can’t dived, she would sob.
9.) 31 Aug 2018 20:36:05
We still have two hours to spend a bit of it.
I’ll get ma coat,
{Ed002's Note - Will your mother's coat fit you?}
10.) 31 Aug 2018 20:47:27
If I wear it as a scarf.
11.) 31 Aug 2018 20:47:48
Looks like he is going.
We are the absolute masters of shooting ourselves in the foot. We could have accepted the bid 2 days ago and given ourselves a chance of replacing Moose but no. Let’s mess about until the last minute and leave ourselves with 2 strikers who can’t stay fit for 5 games in a row.
The people in charge of our club have sold the fans down the river.
12.) 31 Aug 2018 20:51:58
It would need deep pockets for Mp's "happy and his calm pills" 002 ;-D.
13.) 31 Aug 2018 21:19:52
I m a naturally pessimistic optimist. I don’t like to kid myself on rubbish is chocolate fondant.
14.) 31 Aug 2018 21:41:46
It was tactical Niall that’s the reason we never accepted it 2 days ago. Now they have the excuse of “There simply was not enough time to replace himâ€. I have a new found hatred for Peter Lawwell and the other cretins on the board. I would absolutely love some sort of action by the fans to be taken (without any boycott threats obviously)
15.) 31 Aug 2018 21:43:16
That's why you take the pills Mp for a bit of a break (Y)

New kit is a belter! That's my next pair of pyjamas sorted. ooft!
{Ed007's Note - I bet Mrs Foxi can't wait! ?
1.) 29 Jun 2025 01:08:25
Feck me I'd almost rather wear Butcher's Apron PJ's. Absolutely brutal. Whoever signed off on that 3rd kit needs a strong talking to (I'd have said needs shot, but don't want to be prosecuted like Kneecap ?)
2.) 29 Jun 2025 12:52:56
New top doesn’t annoy me, if I don’t like a particular new top, I ignore it and allow fans who may have different fashion taste to make their mind up .
Those who like it buy it, those who don’t like it avoid it.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 13:52:29
It's avoid for me. Ghastly.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 17:03:55
The new third kit is horrible and cheap looking for an adidas kit, probably the worst kit in my memory since the grey and pink effort a few years back ??.
5.) 29 Jun 2025 17:52:52
Yhe celtic away top with people's as the sponsor, i had that top and used to get stared at with it on lol.
6.) 29 Jun 2025 21:00:07
Am in the minority obviously cos a bought it today and love it.
{Ed007's Note - I've not seen it in real life and a few folk have said it looks better but I just think it's not a football strip to me - I'll not be buying it because it's not got a collar lol - but if it was just say a training top or something I think it would be a massive hit as a summer seller. It's the fact it's a kit that we will probably see our players wearing and could there still be a colour clash with our first kit going by the rules?}
04 May 2025 14:25:02
Still baffled as to how Scales gets a game before Big Rocky.
1.) 04 May 2025 14:40:32
I'm still baffled why with all the CB we've bought and we still need 2.
2.) 04 May 2025 17:41:15
Obviously we would all love 100% success rate when our club buys players for a particular position. Some times we buy players and they do so well, that they think they should go to a bigger leaque to make more money and less honours . Other times the player we buy don’t settle between the rain and snow . Sometimes we sign a player who manager and coaches like but some noisy fans don’t like and they try make player unhappy and he leaves.
06 Apr 2025 23:28:05
Or has BR run out of room. remember his last 12/ 14 months. and before I get pilloried, I'm 61 going on 62, and my first game was 4, so I'm entitled to my opinion. I th?.
1.) 07 Apr 2025 09:12:16
Brendan never lost a domestic trophy in his last 12/ 14 months when he was first at Celtic.
I do remember we struggled to break down the opposition at times but he wouldn’t change from the 4-2-3-1 formation, which I felt left the striker isolated at times.
His current formation is better to watch although it leaves us exposed at times.
Celtic haven’t won away from home and kept a clean sheet at the same time in over 4 months.
I still prefer our current formation although it takes away that extra protection from the midfield.
2.) 08 Apr 2025 16:49:10
Age can’t be the only yardstick in deciding whether we are entitled to have an opinion . I am 75 going on 76 and Timalloy is about 5 yrs older . I don’t want to speak for Timalloy or any of the many others who post here and are in their seventies or eighties, but speaking for myself I know that there are times that I have perfectly reasonable opinions and other times when I criticise individual players, manager or Board, I wonder how stupid I am as the older I get, if I love Celtic as much as I claim I do, I should seek positive things as I would hate to leave this world ridiculing the club I have supported from the early 1960’s.
22 Feb 2025 23:38:50
Moments from us. Idah and Jota not passing. wtf.
22 Feb 2025 23:38:15
Ok, from a legal pov it seems the call is wrong and unless I'm shown to the contrary then I agree BUT two terrible compromise us in both Idah snd Jota not passing. .
04 Jul 2022 18:41:02
Xcellent Hoops ?. I was up in Oban the other day. Quite a few ferries up there with Calmac on them too ???.
29 Oct 2020 17:59:22
Unbelievable. But then perhaps not!
05 Jul 2019 15:37:40
Guy called Lustig. 😂.
23 Jun 2019 00:33:07
Well let's be honest about this. Did anyone expect anything else after we appointed NL full time. It is patently obvious that a lot of our young talent don't rate him or his methods and are looking elsewhere. I for one don't blame them.
11 May 2019 13:06:57
While I don't disagree with the sentiment behind your post, I for one, will be glad to see the back of LC. At the same time don't want a PL/ JP double act scenario where the manager perhaps has no impact at all. I am also aware that modern football managers identify positions to strengthen and the recruitment boys/ Ceo's deal with it from there. Interesting times ahead. HHðŸ€.
01 May 2025 15:22:25
Nope. for obvious reasons ?.
03 Jan 2025 05:38:44
First goal Buzz. Keeper should save that!
20 Dec 2024 20:51:45
That's the one Surfer. Can't find the video but yes that's it. thanks.
21 Nov 2024 14:48:33
Superb! ????.
21 Aug 2024 13:50:53
It's obvious City are interested in Mikey J the Kyogo stuff is a smokescreen. ?.
