Celtic FC Rumours

02 Jan 2026 20:43:48
New Snr Scout confirmed James Bell-Walker from Chelsea, guy has been there as international scout for Chelsea over the last 9 years. Great to see us adding some real talent in this area.

02 Jan 2026 21:11:10
Hopefully he has a few names up his sleeve. Maybe even persuade a few loans from Chelsea too.

{Ed007's Note - Well it'll make a change from City....

02 Jan 2026 21:53:20
I think it would suggest the club isn't getting sold. The board and the model isn't changing and going with most recent results our manager ain't changing either. For the sake of the club the rest of this season I hope I'm wrong.

However in the sense I hope I'm right for the sake of when the right players come in and Nancy gets us playing the best football seen in years.

02 Jan 2026 21:55:55
They both have like 100 players on their books ?.

03 Jan 2026 06:21:22
Should have been in place before the window.

03 Jan 2026 07:09:39
The last player we got from Chelsea wasn't to good was he (Matundo) remember that guy lol.

03 Jan 2026 09:41:14
What players at Chelsea has James Bell-Walker found. Asking for a friend lol.

03 Jan 2026 09:56:36
Chelsea have just binned Maresca, so we're getting one of the scouts indirectly responsible. Also has anyone told him that he will now be buying for Home Bargains and not Waitrose.

03 Jan 2026 10:38:57
I fear the worst and hope for the best today! This season for me so far has got to be the worst in a long long time, I used to look forward to games and watching our team but the last few months have been torture. I hope we win today but it will cover the cracks a deluded unconvincing manager and a Board that doesn't give a monkey's about us.

If things go against us today I can only wonder what actions will be taken, I do honestly feel for the players in all of this and there families, some may say that's there job and it is but it's not them that's not recruiting with a plan or vision for the future it's our shameful board! Fingers crossed for today.

02 Jan 2026 16:11:15
I heard from a decent source today that DD will not entertain allowing the GB back…full stop.

That's as long as he is at the helm. Although he has had the biggest shareholding, he didn't want a seat in the board or to be at the helm too long. I was told he has "assumed" running the show on 4 or 5 previous occasions and only for very short timescale. He's been at the helm now for a couple of months.

All very odd.

02 Jan 2026 16:53:12
The GB need to be held to account for their actions, but it's a double edged sword for the board, the GB do a lot of good for our team / Game.
Then there's the Board, they are being politically pushed by right wingers that want to see the fans that vocally back our team.

02 Jan 2026 17:10:57
I'm not for gb actions at times, but if 5 arrests have been made etc then should the rest no be allowed back, imo as soon as individuals are identified and held to task then that should be end of matter, what's point in prolonging anything, do I think what they did as a group was right -absolutely not, but it's now pointless if matters with police and people charged/ arrested.

02 Jan 2026 19:46:06
DD has been running Celtic for a number of years. If Desmond wants something, the board do it and if they don't they won't be around for long as dom McKay found out.

02 Jan 2026 20:25:43
The footage of the wee boy being man handled by 4 diffeerent stewards at Celtic Park the other week (Aberdeen game? ) was concerning.

I wasn't there and clearly don't know the facts around why 4 adults felt it necessary to physically drag a young supporter from his seat and remove him from the stadium.

Perhaps this is the norm at CP now but for me it's incidents like this that are setting a dangerous president.

Is paradise being turned into a totalitarian state run by a dictator?

02 Jan 2026 21:33:48
Weejoe I don't really disagree with you. He gets what he wants for sure. What I was told is he dips in and out quickly… that's been his trademark… but he has been in and about things over the past couple of months and hasn't usually operated like that before. He seems fired up. Don't know if this is good or bad.

03 Jan 2026 10:01:22
Pity he isn't fired up about the playing side of things!

03 Jan 2026 10:20:22
"Right wingers" ??? Pete, you're obviously soft and of this new age of "let me play victim". What does right wing politics have to do with anything Celtic do with the fans? Like come on. You've exposed left wingers for what they are. Emotional wrecks.

04 Jan 2026 17:34:59
More chance of getting rid of acne in teenagers than the Tash from Celtic.

02 Jan 2026 12:47:29
Did anyone see the article yesterday where the reporter claimed that he had been told by the Celtic hierarchy (no names given, so no accountability) that Nancy would be given at least 2 transfer windows?

02 Jan 2026 13:14:07
This board as you all know will not admit to getting it wrong. They would rather cost us multi-million's trying to prove them right than accept they got it wrong.

Said it before this is the worst squad I've seen for a long time.

Nancy did need to assess the squad in his formation and after 7 games we can see that these players can't cut it. Maybe some will be better with new players in to play the formation but it's not going to be a happy period whilst we wait and see what comes in. Loans will not cut it and this Araujo player is pointless with no option to buy.

02 Jan 2026 13:16:21
Only way he will be shown the door joe is if he goes on another major losing streak or loses a few in quick succession by 3 or 4 goals.
Unfortunately i think the board have accepted we may not win the league this season which is absolutely unacceptable.


I can't see this guy getting sacked unless he loses 12/ 15 games before the season ends.
I don't think even a 4/ 5 goal pumping by the zombies will shift him.

02 Jan 2026 14:02:35
A think lose against cream buns especially convincingly al say he will be gone and another manager in to have few wks of window left for players, beat them then he gets his own players and will stay?‍♂️.

02 Jan 2026 14:15:47
A lose lose situation we're in, even if we were to get a result tomorrow, I would have zero confidence of winning next game.

02 Jan 2026 15:48:38
I think it's a short term option until AJ is back and low cost rather than sign a new rb and him play second fiddle to aj when's he's fit but anyway it's besides the point recruitment is going to be poor u til tisdale is gone in both the coaching and player department everyone can see nancy isn't good enough and that we have a lot of players that need moved on practically the whole squad if we are honest it's a shambles knowing he plays 3 at the back knowing we didn't have the players to play the way he wants and we would have to spend millions and move so many players on half way throw season it shows the sheer incompetence of the people in charge of the footballing department and the fact they shouldn't be in a job at our great club.

02 Jan 2026 18:18:11
AJ will be the right sided CB, that's where he played for Canada. I expect when fit it will be AJ, CCV and Trusty as the back 3.

02 Jan 2026 11:31:51
The Rb from Bournemouth has been confirmed.

01 Jan 2026 20:51:33
So according to reports the rb is in Glasgow to complete his signing, there's no way he's match fit so can't see how he features against sevco, would have been better with a striker.

01 Jan 2026 21:41:07
Striker probably wouldn't be match fit either.

01 Jan 2026 21:59:05
A loan signing with no chance of making it permanent. A great sign of what's to come. You would think they would have had a striker lined up weeks in advance ready to throw in against the buns.
But no, no stress getting a striker in, let's wait til the last day and see what strikers are left over available on loan.


Lets get a rb that's not played all season in on loan. this will appease the hoards
A sick joke and what's even more worrying is that if that mob beats us i don't even think it will cost him his job.

01 Jan 2026 22:07:24
Mally : Who's the RB?

02 Jan 2026 00:31:03
He'll probably play as a ST, you never know with Nancy?.

02 Jan 2026 09:59:36
Peter it's the boy from Bournemouth think they signed him from Barcelona for 9m but he's played one game this season and got sent off, the board are a joke if they wanted to help nancy before the sevco game could they not have payed for one that's at least been playing and also have got us a striker Intheyce only had 6 months to work on it.

02 Jan 2026 14:19:31
He looks good and has bags of pace but he has been out twice in previous seasons for a long period with hamstring issues. I just hope with his pace and inactivity he doesn't have another. Like the Iheanacho situation. But his pace will put the fear into them tomorrow. Let him cook.

01 Jan 2026 18:53:52
Guidi reporting in media that, as many of us suspected, Nancy will be supported by the Board, right through 2026.
It could be one of our most disastrous seasons ever. Only a super significant and successful transfer window can save us.

01 Jan 2026 19:05:38
That's maybe what the Board want but it won't happen.
It looks like Nancy has lost the dressing room already which means the writing is on the wall.

01 Jan 2026 19:28:40
Good luck with that when they try to flog STs.

01 Jan 2026 20:50:15
If losing the semi final to Rangers, caused DD to to go and get BR then1st time around, will he now sit back and do nothing?

01 Jan 2026 18:02:44
Martin O'Neill was a guest on the ACSOM podcast at BAAD tomorrow but they've announced it's been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, MON back to Celtic?

01 Jan 2026 18:51:16
Been sent stuff saying there's a board meeting, prob sh#te.

01 Jan 2026 10:38:46
Heard a rumour that WN has been sacked and MON wants an 18month deal. Anyone else heard this, also heard Calmac went to Nicholson and told him it Calmac or Nancy they don't want to play for him.

01 Jan 2026 12:38:52
Please ?? ?? ?? be true ??.

01 Jan 2026 12:55:30
Marco u heard, grateful for news that I don't know, but where did u hear, it would be awesome if true.

01 Jan 2026 13:24:10
It's nonsense they'll wait to we're out of everything before taking action.

01 Jan 2026 14:08:52
My wife is on Celtic minded and I think someone on there told her and I posted here, but he is meant to have took training today so it's all BS . Sorry for getting people excited I am as pissed off as everyone else sorry again.

01 Jan 2026 15:44:47
I expected the fake news to filter in the New Year as we are easy targets in our current situation. Realistically, does anyone really expect our incompetent and self-serving Board to EVER do the right thing for the long term benefit and progress of Celtic Football Club. This just in. Er NAW!

01 Jan 2026 15:45:23
Dont believe any of these rumours. Peoppe wiyh too much time on their hands and not enough between the ears.

01 Jan 2026 18:04:30
Do we have to wait until the stock exchange opens ( Jan 5 ) to inform them if we sack him?

31 Dec 2025 14:59:03
We are apparently after a player who can't even get a game for Maccabi Netanya in Israel. He sounds like a cracking player. ?.

31 Dec 2025 16:24:32
Is this the guy that a German side have put a 3 million offer on the table and we've supposedly bid half a million?

31 Dec 2025 16:52:17
And some Uruguayan winger.

31 Dec 2025 18:06:18
Even though we don't play with wingers. ?.

31 Dec 2025 18:44:40
The winger will get used as a wing back. Nancy knows how to screw players up.

31 Dec 2025 21:42:01
Anno a hope he knows how to tackle.

01 Jan 2026 11:41:38
I don't know what's worse - a Board with an extremely flawed recruitment record who have got us into this mess or a manager who has no tactical nous, motivational or organizational ability?

01 Jan 2026 20:25:35
Although it doesn't make sense signing a RW as Nancy don't play with traditional wingers, but signing one or two right sided players while we can could be a masterstroke as I don't see Nancy lasting past January. At least the next manager will have something to work with.

31 Dec 2025 14:47:31
I don't know how much truth there is in this . But apparently the reason kt and dizan were subbed at halftime lastnight was because both of them spoke up against our so called manager and told him that his systems weren't working as players didn't know what positions they were playing.

Dizan was supposed to have said you have played me in three different positions and told him to play him where it suits him . if this is true and i'm not saying it is but its came from a good source. Calmac wouldn't even do a interview last night when nancy asked him to .

31 Dec 2025 15:55:56
Manager said he was managing their game time as they had played a lot of football recently.

31 Dec 2025 16:31:24
Kt didn't have a cluexwhat that muppet wanted when you see scales running by him to cross the ball a job that kt should do and then scales is out of position, maeda was on the left what I could see and hatate looked like he was told to press through the middle, it was a mess and the players are bemused although it doesn't excuse a lack of effort, hatate bernardo nygren never broke sweat, trusty must be on rhe bevvy as he's run off his feet being the only defender at the back.

01 Jan 2026 08:23:36
Apparently they had words with znancu? Said who? Sounds like a taxi driver quote.

01 Jan 2026 08:11:33
There is zero truth in what u said.

01 Jan 2026 20:32:06
Not that I agree with it, but that's what overloads are for. Isolate, outnumber, and create gaps for for the extra man to run into attacking space. That is Nancy's philosophy watching that video breakdown someone posted on here a while back.

The fact we have these overloads and no one even bothers running into the attacking space says it all. Lazy, and that's on the players, no wonder we didn't look like scoring against motherwell.

01 Jan 2026 23:50:16
Lazy? These guys are being played but totally played out of position. So high up the pitch is an absolute disaster with a back 3. Sick to the back teeth of trying to get this through to people like you.

It's on this clown who's in charge, he's absolutely clueless and if you can't see that then wow ? use your equipment for what it's for as in the players we have.

31 Dec 2025 14:30:11
Reported that this Araujo guy who has played 1 cup game and we want him on loan, can't be loaned as Bournemouth have maxed out their international allocation.

No end to the embarrassment.

01 Jan 2026 15:53:21
Hes actually a really good player. Remember a guy called Sutton? Many questioned gking for him because of a bad time he had at Chelsea. I'm notvsay8ng we shoukd buy him, but, this guy is a player and havingba hard time doesn't remove that fact.
