Anyone know anything about Lewis Morgan the Sunderland winger who according to Sky we are bringing in on loan?

Just shows the lack of professionalism they have when dealing with scottish football on any level.

It's because they are so far up Slippy's jacksie they don't give a jot for anything else up here - especially all-things Celtic related.

Earlier Sky had reported that we were interested in signing Sunderland's Lewis Morgan and he would come in on loan.

HITC we’re running a story about a week ago saying ‘Hibs want Lennon from Celtic now’. Somebody must have told them it was actually Allen they wanted and they changed it. It’s hard to believe that any organisation claiming to be a news agency could be so incompetent but that’s the reality these days. I actually think more than 50% of what is written now is pish and that probably goes up to 80-90% in a transfer window.

Hey ed007 did I read correctly that Ralston has cruciate ligament injury?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Ralston landed awkwardly against Airdrie injuring his ankle ligaments and it's estimated he'll be out for 6-8 weeks.}

Have to say that's a shame to hear. Was at the match on sat with the Sean South CSC from limerick. I knew lustig was struggling but watching him on Sat it is was scary. The guy has been a great servant but sorry to say his passing was shocking and his legs are definitely gone. Seriously worry for Celtic if they don't sort this position. Otherwise it will cost us goals and points.

So not as bad as I first feared, thanks ed 👍

Totally agree about Lustig as well, has the odd decent game. We need a RB that will play well most games they play.

Lustig been struggling for last couple of seasons.

Lustig has been a fantastic servant and has held the right back position longer than anybody since Danny McGrain and like another Swede has grown to love Celtic. Yip, his best days like mine may be behind him but he deserves respect and if he needs another year give him it. I know we’re not retirement home before anybody reminds me and I’m also aware that there is no sentiment in football but if we look for loyalty we need to show some.

Sorry JFP I don't agree. Lustig has been a great servant but its obvious his time is up. Let him bow out on a high lifting the league trophy and hopefully bring him back in another capacity at some point in the future. Giving him another deal just means his wage isn't being invested elsewhere.

in deila's last season I remember lots of people saying brown was finished and we should get rid of him. However, brown sorted out his injury problem and has been one of the driving forces under Rodgers.

Anyway the point I am trying to make is we should not be too hasty to judge as we don't know the cause of lustigs drop in form. For all we know he is playing with an injury as we don't have suitable cover at the moment. I also think the crazy number of games he has played won't be helping.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2019 11:46:49
I agree I would still keep him. We need another rb. And lustig can fill in at rb or cb.

Anybody know when rogic is due to report back to training?

Hopefully once we have wrapped up the league, we are far better without him in the team, more pace more fluidity, better movement into spaces and more importantly the player taking his place is scoring more goals, creating more goals and lasting the 90.

First time I've posted in along time but still read page regularly. I see a lot of people posting their frustrations about the lack of activity with a RB and CB. My own opinion is that this a consequence of previous poor signings and the difficulty in getting poor players off the books. Celtic currently have 3 first team right backs and 5 centre backs. At least 3 of them will have to be moved out this windows before IMO the club re-invest. Commper Gamboa and Hendry (loan) will have to moved out. The type of centre backs and full backs we need will. be commanding substantial salaries and we all know Mr Lawell will want to balance the books. If we can't get Commpers salary of the books I feel we be left with what we have.

How longs commper got left on his deal?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2019 20:34:07
I know it's frustrating with loan deals etc. But it could also be that quality players just don't want to sign for us.
You are right about having to balance the books as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2019 20:55:32
I'm sure Commper signed a 2 and a half year deal Wyllie, really bad deal from us there 👎.

Morning EDs hope use are all well? Just wondering with the Europa league squad due to be announced for the next round with three Bhoys brought in and us being allowed an extra three names to be added to the squad in your opinions will they all get in it or will Bitton be added as back playing now?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I have no idea but if a right back is brought in I'd imagine he will get a spot.}

28 Jan 2019 11:52:50
I would love to see RB in but don’t hold out much on that. Which one off the new Bhoys would u leave out the Europa squad?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Bayo.}

28 Jan 2019 12:38:44
Yeah he’s not up to speed yet so agree with you on that what’s the chances of a RB coming in have u heard anything on that ED?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's no secret that the Club are actively trying to get a RB in this window and I think there's a good chance one will arrive.}

28 Jan 2019 12:43:33
Would a Johnny Hayes or Morgan or griff not be left out before the new guys if they are currently in the European pool? Brendan’s got a tough choice to make for the forward 3 places the much slated Sinclair is playing great just now back up on his toes and driving at folk with pace and directness again and ghosting into the box more often! Wee Jamesy and Oli seem to click well and French eddy due back soon too so a lot of quality there to try and shoe horn in with Weah Rogic and Christie. We seem very determined now where they seemed a bit disenchanted in December we have a bit of grit back in our performance. But alas the league was won again in Livingston so no matter what we do it won’t be enough? 😂😂🍀🍀.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You can still only add 3 players to the squad that's previously been used.}

28 Jan 2019 13:08:06
Is it just the 3 spots available for the remainder of the EL or does that only apply for the last 32?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The squads registered with UEFA for midnight on the 1st of February are for the remainder of the tournament.}

28 Jan 2019 17:32:49
Fingers crossed for a RB.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2019 18:17:29
I wasn’t aware of that Ed even if a player leaves to go to another team? Another bizarre uefa rule? Listening to ssb the usual sevco love fest! See how they are after the next 3-4 games 🙂🍀.
