The sevco banner and continued abuse of Stevie Clarke was there for all to see even sly highlighted it but not a single word form dodgy Dave and his minions and The sfa al leave it there.

See our new winger scored a hatrick for his club the other day bodes well.

Sounds promising. When does his loan expire?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 22:03:03
I think his season finishes in April.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 22:22:35
I think Rodgers said we might get him back in April and have a look at him then. Could be a handy player to have in the run in for the treble treble.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Feb 2019 00:19:57
Is he coming to us at end of loan or is he going back out on loan jonbhoy?

Ed do you have any update on Leigh Griffiths? Do you think we will see him again?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Shved will join us in the summer, as for LG of course we'll see him again, he's not dead 😉

25 Feb 2019 16:30:30
When BR does eventually leave I'd like to see the charismatic Roberto Mancini installed as manager if available, for some unknown reason I just think he would be a perfect fit for our club.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

25 Feb 2019 18:24:46
Mentioned below that he would need a much better offer than Leicester to tempt him considering his current and previous job;
but my shout would be Neil Lennon . for the 'Foxes' job.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 19:22:43
Celtic is a bigger club (however, financially, the EPL revenue would mean Leicester have a massive spending power compared to us)
Not going anywhere before end of season anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 19:34:50
Personally like ed007 I think when BR does leave it will be to club in either the Spanish or French league.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 21:43:13
Yep, I reckon Spanish league too. Leicester are not going to get near top six again. Over achieved when top 4 nearly all in transition. Sold Kanye and left with bunch of mplayers who believed their own hype. Relegation/ promotion battle would be most likely prospect.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 22:03:05
Once a bhoy I don't think Lennon would be in running for Leicester job. I reckon they will end up with someone like Sam allerdice, a career relegation saver.

Can see Lennon back down south though, makes you wonder what got said at hibs argument.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2019 00:00:14
If BR decides to go could only wish him well. Don't see him giving up legendary status for Leicester as the players are a bunch of persons imo. No chance to develop overpaid prima donnas who have form for betraying the very man who made them. hope they get relegated. Have sympathy for fans after recent events but players deserve none again imo. No time for folk like that. rant over.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Feb 2019 01:06:29
Daviebhoy I personally think they deserved league that season as they had some real quality and I enjoyed watching games on sly sports via kodi lol.

I do think though the quality players they had was by luck. Players wanting to use them as a stepping stone and Leicester luck was they got these game changers at same time.

I hope Leicester do get relegated and we get benkovic on cheap lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 13:29:18
The first few games i was impressed with Toljan but lately i think he no better than ralston who should be given a prolong run in the team, when he fit. Still love lustig.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2019 16:06:20
I think he’s still finding his feet to be honest. There’s no doubt he has blistering pace but I think so far he’s struggled a bit defending one on one situations. We’ll see how he goes for the rest of the season. I’m a big Ralston fan and would have liked to see him get a run. Looking forward to seeing Ralston develop.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 19:59:17
He's been ok . said first time I seen him he didn't look any better than Ralston or lustig . he's not a bad player and it's early days still. is this his best?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 11:51:50
I would like everyones opinion on Toljan. Keep or let go.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2019 12:32:43
Keep for me and will get better.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 13:05:29
Not been impressed so far, so I'd let him go.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 13:39:10
Not an over-night sensation but needs time to settle in a new country and new team etc. The loan/ trial spell was the correct decision.
I still want to see Ralston progressing and in contention when he gets over his injury, as I think there is a great prospect in store.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 14:24:58
Keep him unless there is a better option looks decent although the left wing guy for murderwell gave him a difficult afternoon yesterday can't mind the guys name but he was impressive.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2019 00:03:41
He gets to close to his man causing him to grab and foul if they turn or get past him. Needs to learn to stand off and use his pace. If he learns this think he will become very useful. 8 going forward 6 for defending so far but early days. Will improve.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 09:16:09
Ed any news on Callum Brendan saying he was injured.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - No mate. I messaged someone yesterday when McGregor wasn't in the squad and the reply was "he missed the training session on Saturday with the sh1ts so probably that" - hopefully his injury hasn't been made worse by keeping him on the pitch over in Spain.}

25 Feb 2019 11:33:00
Cheers bud.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍

25 Feb 2019 13:50:53
Did he have ice in his drink over there ed 😂😂😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 😋

25 Feb 2019 14:19:22
Brendan saying he's going for a scan took a knock on Thurs.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 06:58:31
Not saying it's going to happen but if Rodgers goes for the reported £6m who would you have replace him? Benitez perhaps?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2019 10:07:01
Certainly not Davie moyes. I’d rather see Lennon back than moyes. that said I don’t see Rodgers leaving for Leicester.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 10:34:08
Rogers ain't going to Leicester city. Chelsea maybe though but can't see him bailing out.
Brasshand the ED will tell you I have been going on about Benitez for ages. Would be a fantastic appointment.
But if we are going down the moyes or Lennon road here then it's got to be clarke.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 10:55:43
Only issue we have is maybe Rodgers has done too good domestically.

So unless he's promised funds to tackle Europe then him going is a real possibility.

I mean he's won everything he can here so it's basically win domestic and hammered and Europe.

Kinda groundhog Day tbh and could get pretty boring tbh.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - So how far in Europe would we reach to be seen as tackling it? Isn't European football after Christmas the aim every year and who knows what would have happened if we had Benkovic and KT fit to face Valencia or Toljan not being red carded? If we had a full strength squad I'm positive that we would have gave Valencia a much tougher test.
As for the Leicester job, why would Rodgers consider a job where he's battling relegation every year and just staying in the Pub League is seen as a success & in a league where any manager is only ever a couple of defeats away from serious pressure to sack him? Leicester sacked Claude Puel after fourth consecutive home defeat, could Rodgers take Leicester above their current 12th place? At least he won't need to worry about getting hammered in Europe with Leicester.
Once again the media have put 2+2 together and getting 9. Brendan Rodgers will not leave Celtic and take the step down to Leicester even if Leicester do want him.}

25 Feb 2019 11:09:58
The media here are desperate for him to leave as that lot will live in his shadow.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 11:34:10
We all knew this mischief making speculation was never far away.
It happens every time an apparent 'big club' loses their manager or when the Scottish media feels they would enjoy life better without BR keeping their team at a long arms length.
There was absolutely none of this garbage when 'The Cardigan' and his amazing EBT's were dominating tax-free.
On Sportscene last night, they were using our exit 'AGAIN' at the round of 32 stage as a catalyst for him to look elsewhere.
They can't stand a successful Celtic with the probability of more trophies and record breaking glory for the foreseeable future.
If and when he leaves, it should be for a bigger better club, not below Liverpool as that would seem a backwards step IMO.
In the meantime he will have to bite his lip and tolerate the ministry of stupid questions trying to unsettle him.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 11:36:32
The media are creaming it at the thought of Brendan leaving. who in there right mind would leave Celtic for a struggling Leicester team languishing in the bottom half of the epl. and really surprised at Sutton saying he'll go big hartsons response to Owen was bang on.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 13:19:44
I just can't see him moving to Leicester for all the points raised above. I can see him, as mentioned moving to Chelsea though with that likely to be a vacancy soon. I hope the board are doing their due diligence with respect of succession planning as well as with finances.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Chelsea won't be interested in Rodgers taking over when they bin Serri.}

25 Feb 2019 13:36:11
Zidane must be a shout for Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - They've held talks.}

25 Feb 2019 14:00:39
So what job do you think BR would go to, or have a chance of getting Ed? I agree he won't go to Leicester but would the likes of Spurs or Everton be interested?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I can't see an ex-Liverpool manager taking over at Everton and Spurs spent less than us this season on players, also Daniel Levy makes Lawwell look like a drunk lottery winner when it comes to spending but yeah about that level, maybe even Arsenal if the keep regressing the way they are. I don't see him ending up at a Man Utd or Man City, definitely not.
But why does it need to be in the Pub League? Rodgers is a bug fan of Spanish football and might fancy a crack in La Liga.
Imagine he left for Leicester in the summer, he's only in his mid 40s so what happens for the next 20 years, be the next Harry Redknapp,Tony Pullis or Neil Warnock and just play on the managerial merry-go-round in the Pub League, 2 years here, 18 months there hoping for a decent cup run.}

25 Feb 2019 14:26:50
Might be snookered then.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He should go abroad when he does eventually decide to leave us.}

25 Feb 2019 14:37:30
100% agree Ed, why not spain for example? Am I not right in saying that previous to this Leicester link Brendan has stated how happy he is at Celtic, how your never far away from the sack managing any team in the EPL, Brendan for me got a raw deal with Liverpool and I think it hurt him how it finished. He’s said numerous times he’s privileged and honoured to be manager of Celtic and I just don’t see him leaving for “ just any job”, when he eventually goes it’ll be to a club where he feels he can achieve success, he’s not going to get that at a Leicester city.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 16:16:30
Here’s one for you then Ed with a number of clubs being ruled out as Brendan’s next destination for reasons which I agree with what do you think the chances of BR extending his contract with Celtic. He’s constantly telling the media he’s in his dream job and is extremely happy. In this day and age happiness goes a long way. I would love him to be here long term.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I think it'll depend on what's on offer elsewhere after we win 10 in a row and if there's nothing out there that takes his fancy he might well extend his stay. That'll be five years he'll have been here (and 5 trebles) which is a long time but if the team is at a level to keep him interested in taking it forward it who knows?}

25 Feb 2019 16:26:53
Going abroad would be a good option for him. The tanning salons wouldn't be too happy though!

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 18:20:17
He could get a decent job in Spain. Hasn't he took Spanish lessons too? Pub leagues overrated and managers are lucky to last a season there now with the crazy money that's going about. Look at Leicesters track record lately of sacking managers they're under the illusion they should be competing there because of their fluke league triumph.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2019 21:16:51
You don't win a league by fluke.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You can if it's fixed though..... 😉

25 Feb 2019 00:56:17
Whilst I hate all this talk and speculation about BR leaving I would love to see us still talking about it in ten years time. As regards someone to succeed BR when he eventually goes I would not be in favour of someone who doesn't understand what it means to be Celtic. With that I don't want to criticise any managers from the past as Venglos gave us Moravcik and Jansen stopped the ten and gave us the King.

I don't fancy Benitez and in fact I would prefer Mourinho di Benitez (Heaven forbid) . Would love to see BR hang around long enough for Brown to succeed him just as McNeill succeeded Stein or Failing that an ex player such as Lambert or Larrson.

Agree0 Disagree0
