Now we are leading up to cup final I predict that come Friday the big leak will come out and new manager/ DOF will be named? To try put everyone off at Celtic from winning the cup. Just my opinion.

20 May 2019 20:49:11
Said this earlier on rumour page rich wouldn't surprise me mate.

20 May 2019 21:06:53
The media can only announce the new manager or DOF's name if it's leaked by someone from within the club. Why would anyone from Celtic want to put Celtic off winning the treble?

20 May 2019 21:20:36
I would not be surprised. I have been checking out the odds for the job Lennon has never outside the top 4 names tipped for the job with Rafa there too could it be possible we could actually get Rafa? For me I think it’s down to either Lennon or Rafa. What do use guys think Eds?

20 May 2019 22:12:23
ye kev think so.

20 May 2019 22:35:54
There is always a 'story' before a big game and there will be some sort of attempted distraction/ scandal printed before Friday.

20 May 2019 22:46:32
Ritch T there’s no chance Rafa Benitez is coming to Celtic mate! I see Uve mentioned it a few times on here but please spare urself the disappointment mate. rafa Mourinho and I seen Sutton mentioned Allegri from Juve today! This is Scotland we’re in lads and these guys will not come here! One we can’t afford there wage,2 we couldn’t afford there transfer budgets and 3 our league is mediocre at best! Not having a go at all just let’s get a bit of realism eh!

21 May 2019 07:09:52
Originally I had guessed that Lennon would be announced this week after the league was wrapped up. Not something I particularly wanted, but with talk of David Moyes I'd have Lenny in a heartbeat over him.

21 May 2019 08:11:27
So if not a Rafa or JM where do we really start to look at Moyes or give the job to Lennon. I might be living in coo coo land there is nothing wrong with trying to do better showing ambition like we did with Rodgers I would like to think that the board may have that same ambition but we will see?

21 May 2019 10:08:15
It's not whether the board show ambition. Its whether these names want to come to us. Sutton has said we approached JM but it ain't going to happen. I would have preferred Clarke over Lennon personally, but prefer both to Moyes. I wouldn't mind a bilic, Houghton or bielsa. I think being realistic bielsa is my preferred choice.

21 May 2019 10:39:22
Anno bielsa done well elsewhere but his age and the language us he's just failed to get Leeds even into the play offs so not sure the of the clamour for this guy.

21 May 2019 10:46:38
Lennon has been in job before, won 3 leagues with zero competition, failed big time in cup competitions, football was dire and he failed to really inspire the fans or the team.
I can’t see how he will be any better now plus we have much stronger competition from across the city.
He’s had his day, time for different direction.
Moyes? He’s had years of managing in a high quality competitive league at a level Lennon will never be offered.

If forced to choose between the two it would be moyes for me.

21 May 2019 14:38:08
You obviously haven't really thought this through have you?

If that information was leaked, it would need to be leaked from within the club. So someone in the club would do this to try and disrupt the cup final preparations.

I cannot believe that some people would be such avid conspiracy theorists that they would even suggest this.

21 May 2019 14:39:20
I think someone of the calibre of AVB or Rafa could be tempted by the lure of having a chance to get big European clubs' attention again by taking us on a run in Europa or get some results in Champs League like Strachan or Lennon did before the game went totally mad financially.

The safety of us having a low interest in domestic cups next year and the budget we fans feel the board should invest to secure the 10 might be a good carrot.

One of these guys would be guaranteed a couple of medals plus a choice for their next big job. I might be too optimistic but it's an attractive job for managers who can't get an EPL top 6 gig.

20 May 2019 19:21:48
Not sure where the moyes talk came from but surely we must look away from the usual candidates

David turnbull would be someone we should snap up as soon as possible. Energy, goals, can pick a pass and knows the league. Would be crazy to miss out on him.

20 May 2019 19:33:42
Good call Kieran, I suggested turnbull a few weeks ago scores a lot from midfield could be a real steal 👍.

20 May 2019 21:08:08
The more dross that Ntcham serves up leads me to think why not take Porto's money and bring in Turnbull with a bit to spare.

21 May 2019 03:02:00
Definitely looks a talent Chris. In the ideal scenario would be buy him and loan them Mikey for 6 months/ year now that Hastie is away

Ntcham showed glimpses of what he’s capable of again on Sunday but not consistent enough this year. He’s still young and there’s certainly a great player there.

21 May 2019 08:50:29
He’s a talent - keep him.

20 May 2019 16:47:47

Knock yourself out Fatnessgrumpyangie.

20 May 2019 20:22:14
damn i can't come back with one don't want to shame my fav username on here and my fav Celtic chant :}.

20 May 2019 20:59:01
Let’s call it a draw then😁😁😁😁😁.

20 May 2019 11:33:05
After that magic performance yesterday I’d have too say only a few tweaks needed for next season, Johnstone looks amazing so quick for me next year he might cement that lw position,

Gk Bain - doolan - hazard
Lb tierney- new cover
Cb simonovic-ajar-benkovic? -new cb
Rb- new rb- ralston
Cm mcgregor-eboue-natchm-Henderson -brown
Cam Christie- rogic
Rw Forrest-shved-dembele
Lw Johnstone-arzani- Sinclair
Striker-eddy-griff-bayo-new striker.
4 quality players in, Sinclair can leave too and won’t need replacing, if rogic leaves maybe a new cam, I can’t wait for the summer window and the start of next season.

20 May 2019 11:55:26
We need a new CAM. Rogic can’t last 60 minutes never mind a full season. Dembele isn’t ready for full first team exposure. Johnston isn’t prepared for 90 minutes every week. Bayo will likely leave. We need at least 2 new centre backs.

20 May 2019 12:06:35
How you can say yesterday was a magic performance is mind-blowing it was everything an end of season meaningless game was only lit up by 2 great individual goals from Mikey.
Roll on next week and hopefully win the treble then rip that team apart and bring on some vibrant attacking football please whoever the manager is as we can't keep regressing with our current slow build up play.

20 May 2019 13:56:53
It wasn't a magic performance and how you can justify saying Sinclair can go baffles me.

20 May 2019 14:04:49
The form of ntcham Johnstone and young dembelle were excellent and bitton had a good game as did Henderson in flashes benkovic was good as well so there was plus points.

20 May 2019 15:13:15
Mind we have, Gutman and Perez still to come in.

20 May 2019 16:25:23
I stand by my comments I thought it was a great game we were playing high tempo compared to the slow play in previous game I enjoyed the game when in the last 4-5 games I’ve just about fallen asleep, as for dembele not being ready that’s why I’ve listed him as 3rd choice as rw and why wouldn’t we let Sinclair go? He’s got one year on his contract and isn’t as good as Johnstone in my opinion or heyes or Arzani so why keep him as the highest earner I’d sell if offer comes in, all got your opinions as Jane I but I stick by everything I’ve said, rogic I agree also but Christie is first choice cam and rogic is good at coming on to influence games if we have an injury in this area we can easily put in shved or Forres in the cam position so I don’t see a need for another one, Bayo won’t leave he’s not had a chance for god sake give the boy a break if he fails to impress during pre season and doesn’t get a game fair enough but I think the boy has to be given a run.

20 May 2019 18:26:15
Nonsense Sinclair is far better than Johnstone, his stats back that up. Your talking bollocks about Arzani being better, he has not even lasted 1 full game. Is it because he has a fancy foreign name you think he is better?

20 May 2019 19:19:24
😂 Sinclair is pants, and Johnstone ran a mock on Saturday something I’ve not seen Sinclair do this season so it’s you that’s talking bollox wee man 😆, also One look at arzani in reserve league and brief first game shows me he is far more dangerous than sinky, heyes can cross and run something Sinclair hasn’t done much of after his first season, that was his peak then he’s been balls ever since, I couldn’t care about you stats, stats say kris Boyd is the best striker to ever grace Scottish football so awa n spout stats to someone who cares, Sinky was struggling to get a game under Rodgers in the end he’s lazy and one dimensional end off.

20 May 2019 20:37:21
Chrisbhoy, Mikey Johnstone will be a real
Asset in a years time, he needs to hit the gym. He was posted missing in the last 2 games against them at ibrokes. The game yesterday was a typical end of season game which someone like Mikey can shine in. Sinclair is doubled up on time and time again and he still gets goals.

20 May 2019 21:32:39
Chrisbhoy I think you've been smelling pants the nonsense you've posted on this thread.

20 May 2019 22:45:38
Some people are spoiled by Celtic's success in the last 8 yrs and last three in particular . For the 8 year in succession we celebrated winning the SPL and we have people moaning and groaning . I don't know off any team celebrating 8 Championships in a row and still going on to win more .
Surely this isn't time to fault individual players but we should praise the team . One idiot in the stand constantly hurled abuse at our on loan left back.

19 May 2019 23:04:50
While not likely, I'd love MON back. Realise not on cards but would be cracking! Talk about AVB Rafa Mourinho etc. If that is inrealms why not hit for MON? I've also always loved Martin Jol and think with a budget he could be great.

20 May 2019 07:28:23
Davie MON as much as I love him is past it. Since he left us his career has went only one way.

20 May 2019 08:44:50
Like many before him kev.

20 May 2019 12:20:18
Is Martin jol still working not heard his name in years.

20 May 2019 15:23:43
I think Martin was lucky to get that first name, his brothers are called Dick and Cock, I kid you not 😂😂😂.

20 May 2019 15:39:57
Wonder if his maw is from amsterdam.
