Jack Aitchison ( out of contract ) and Scott Sinclair ( 1 year left ) should be given contracts. Any money from the Board, has to be spent on our defence in the Summer, not forwards, unless someone is leaving.

I hope Sinclair signs and deal but I bet he will follow BR to Leicester. Now NL is in charge maybe Jack will be given a chance at a first team appearance.

Hi, Im new here. Been following this site for quite a while . good to see great passion and fair exchanged views. my take on the brendan rodgers debacle and this is only my view, is this: maybe he had come to terms regarding the situation of scottish football and the sectarian element, with the steve clark incident maybe that just made his mind up to get out. ok no one really knows what went on behind the scenes. and the way he left did leave a bad taste. on the positive side he left us in a good position and we have lenny in place who will hold the ship. there is more to this than meets the eye. there has been a lot of knee jerk reaction but as we all know celtic are more important than mere mortals.

Bhoys/ Ghirls,
This is my first post since before Christmas. My Daughter has been in and of Hospital for months, but fingers crossed she's getting there.
On the B. R front, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Like everyone on this great site (about from the odd visitor! ) we bleed Celtic. It's in our Bones, It's in our Blood and for a so called fan to leave like he did is sickening. Like all fans, I have spent a fortune Supporting my Club and I still will.
Why? It's in my DNA. We move on now under Neil Lennon and I for one can't wait till our next Home against Aberdeen. I'll be there with my Daughter (I've told my wife she's going🤞🙏) singing my heart out supporting the Team I love.
And a wee message for Mr Rodgers there's a song which I adore, which you'll never get as your feelings are fake.
The song is called "Something Inside So Strong"
Only true Supporters have that feeling.

Delighted for you and the wee one GT. Hope Neil and the Bhoys put on a show against The Dons to give you both the perfect tonic.

01 Mar 2019 18:44:52
@GT glad to hear your daughter now on the mend, more important than any fake (tan) manager.
I know she will enjoy Celtic Park hail hail.

01 Mar 2019 20:01:52
Glad to hear your daughter is on the mend GT and I hope you both have a great time next week.
Managers and players come and go but hopefully our club will be there forever, that's the main thing.
As much as I have criticised Peter Lawwell and the board over their transfer policy, it actually looks a wise decision to not let Rodgers loose with millions of pounds of the clubs money. It looks to me that no matter what we spent on players, Rodgers would still have walked out at the first offer that came in for him.
Fans aren't stupid, we all knew that eventually Rodgers would leave, I for one never thought he would stay here for ten in a row. I didn't expect him to treat us like this though over a move to Leicester. We were on the verge of 2 huge games which could have defined our season yet he just walked out and left us in the lurch. No one who says they love the club could ever treat it in such a way.
I can't say I hate the man, he gave us some great memories over the last 3 years which you have to give him credit for, it just saddens me that once again illusions have been shattered by someone who I think most people thought was better than that.
Either way I don't think he'll be long at Leicester, If he starts off badly the their owners will soon get shot of him, and if he does well then bigger clubs will be after him. In that case I don't expect him to show them any more loyalty than he showed to us.

Hope your little girl gets back to 100% health sooner rather than later man.

03 Mar 2019 11:44:14
You're spot on GT, the only true constant at the club are the supporters and no real supporter would have turned their back on the club in such a cowardly way but glad to hear your wee ghirl is on the mend and coming to the next family gathering hail hail.

01 Mar 2019 14:59:39
Would you take Ranieri Ed?

{Ed007's Note - At 67-years old I'd ask if he fancied a DOF role.}

01 Mar 2019 15:54:02
I can't see there being a chance of that. Can you?

{Ed007's Note - Nah.}

01 Mar 2019 11:45:13
How "fickle the faithful are"
Yes our ex Manager Baffled us with weird selections Yes we hoped for A better European campaign's it's maybe me but I'm I, reading it right that we're 8 points in front of the rest I'm I mistaken it's not 8 behind is it Oh and Leicester should've gave us £6 million and waited till the end of the season Brendan Rodgers left at the right time and lenny has came in at the right time and Brendan Rodgers knew it was the right time for him and Lenny I'm 99% positive all TRUE fans will join me in Wishing Brendan all the best in the future I've followed Celtic since as far back as remembered from 57 to when we won the cup in 65 NOTHING, 69 games undeafeated 60 won 9 drawn 3years he was here never lost us a trophy try going into a bookies for a bet on it EVER being repeated, the Mans A Legend, Brendan from the bottom of my Heart Thankyou.

01 Mar 2019 12:19:23
Oh and you forgot how he tried to take ALL our backroom staff before an important game Hearts away.

The guy is a snake.

01 Mar 2019 13:00:01
Well, I must be in the 1% of Celtic fans bracket that couldn't care less about him now. Disgraceful behaviour from a man who only in December seemed to be comitting his future to us.

{Ed007's Note - Every pumping Leicester take will be sweeeeet!}

01 Mar 2019 13:14:20
And they will!

{Ed007's Note - I would LOVE to see them relegated.}

01 Mar 2019 14:39:39
would love to see them getting relegated too 007 but unfortunately it won't happen as in what you call the pub league there are a few teams drunker than Leicester and in fact possibly BR is the only one drunk at Leicester - drunk on his own ego.

{Ed007's Note - We can all dream mate lol and down there the fans are after the manager's head if they lose 3 games in a row. I said the other day, I give him 18 months, 2 years top and he'll have been sacked.}

01 Mar 2019 14:45:25
I was going to sat I hope they go down to the Championship but you beat me to it Ed. I heard fok talking about when He first came in he wanted his office all state of the art and it's like an aeroplane hanger! Lennon will think he's on the starship enterprise 😂😂😂.

{Ed007's Note - Lennon had a wee dig about it in an interview the other day saying it's full of stuff out of Harrods and how you need binoculars to see the other side of the room now. Seemingly Rodgers had them in pulling down walls etc to make his office bigger the week he came in.
Have you noticed how many wee stories like that are coming out now - I'm not buying all the rubbish about him going to China and everybody knew he was leaving etc etc as it's obvious from the likes of Kennedy and the players in their interviews that they were as surprised as us - but the wee stories about his ego and the lies/spin that we ALL bought into?
Remember the story about the TRIFC fan? I don't think anyone believed that at the time but for him to make it up in the first place is worrying when you put it into the whole scenario/situation he created from day one up here.
Here's something I was talking to my mate about, is it possible that perhaps Lawwell had seen through all Rodgers bullsh1t early doors and the relationship broke down because Pedro basically didn't trust Rodgers but while he was winning trophies he held the power, did Pedro play the long game knowing at some point the real Rodgers, ego and all, would come to the fore?}

01 Mar 2019 15:13:59
For me he is worse than anything that’s gone on before.
It’s total betrayal and he sold is soul for the pub league.
I live in England and was in Norwich this week and stayed near their stadium, there isn't the history the way that surrounds our great club. I hope he gets fired before Xmas so with Ed on that one.

01 Mar 2019 15:32:53
Hi ed can you confirm the trifc story you mentioned.

{Ed007's Note - "I remember sitting in a bit of traffic in the Clyde Tunnel. There was an incident which meant all the cars were stopped. I saw this guy coming out of his car in a blue top and I thought, ‘Here we go’. But he said, ‘I just wanted to say thank you for coming up to Scottish football. I’m a Rangers supporter but you’re a breath of fresh air up here’.

01 Mar 2019 15:47:12
I smell 💩.

{Ed007's Note - I think everybody smellt it at the time lol.}

01 Mar 2019 15:54:34
Hahaha. i've never heard that one before. can you actually believe a sevconian being as civil as that! Lol.

01 Mar 2019 16:23:17
Can you see Schmeichal Morgan Vardy, big egos in the Leicester team playing the type of football The snake likes?! He will be out by Xmas.

01 Mar 2019 17:32:05
The only thing i can smell is more MINCE. And not the stuff he used to peer over peoples back walls to smell.

01 Mar 2019 17:35:45
Puel style was similar. Vardy didn't like it. He also doesn't like the diet side of pro football one of the reason he chucked England or so I'm lead to believe. Vardy is a counter attacking forward so think he might leave although very powerful.

01 Mar 2019 19:01:52
That one's as bad as Hiding from an orange walk. I always knew he had a big ego and now I realise he's just a Narcissist.

01 Mar 2019 20:23:53
Rodgers does not deserve anyone within the Celtic family's praise. Regardless what he's won for us. Despicable man in the highest order. False idol.

01 Mar 2019 21:45:24
I'd particularly live to see Leicester relegated. Due to where I live the biggest club near me is Leicester. All 3 of my bosses support them and the only guy I work with in the workshop supports them too. I've had nothing but stick and gloating since BR left so I'll be looking forward to work every time they've been pumped. I wish nothing but failure for the snake.
