Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

Punished for every mistake defensively all goals against scrappy . livi experience and size giving them edge but the bhoys kept at it . some individual mistakes cost . scored best goal of game. second half the boys where the better team some great passing moves just couldn't get breakthrough all tried their best but livi have shown them that they need to step up their game and physique to play at higher levels . miller nesbitt hendry hill mcart showed they have a chance of progressing and young ralston specially after having a poor first half kept at it and had a really good second half.

Games, opposition and experience for these players is a good thing for there development a run in this cup is almost as beneficial as going out on loan they done us and celtic proud.

Agree3 Disagree3

03 Sep 2016 22:05:54
Going out on loan rarely improves a young Celtic players chances of returning a better chance of becoming a Celtic great . Surely we should have the best equipment and the best under-age coaches to bring youngsters through .
Many young Glasgow players are away from home for the first time when they go out on loan and can easy fall foul of not maintaining a good lifestyle that is necessary for young players in the present era .
What may be gained by playing in a competitive league against hardened professionals can be lost . It seems many loaned youngsters don't get played that often.

This whole Kriss Commons vendetta, thingy, smacks of all these Ronnie worshipers getting all annoyed at someone calling out their hero about some of his crazy decisions, it might be all right for the lickspittles (thank you George for that word) , like Oldbhoy, putting kowtowding to your suppoesed superiors, i. e. manager, before the best interests of Celtic football club, well in my opiniom and, as Brian Clough said, that's the only one that matters, I wish we'd got rid of Ronnie sooner, and that Kriss had played more games in the previous two seasons, as for Ste Gerard, please God, no, no, no.

Commons should have played more under Ronnie but that doesn't mean he should play now.

DRB these youngsters should not be losing to lower league teams in this manner.

Clearly they are not good enough to make the steps up, had it been Hibs or Dundee Utd that horsed them 5v1 then aye it's a lesson but a league one team with no talent then sorry it's not even worth talking about

Stop making excuses for age, it means nothing if your good enough your old enough.

I don't think we loan youth far enough away. Get them away to a country where the culture will help them progress :) .

04 Sep 2016 12:24:36
Ridiculous comments kev. what do you suggest shut down the youth programme and give them all away because these kids got beating once by an experienced team of pros with years of experience in competitive pro leagues . this would never happen to our first team imagine getting beat by a lower league team unthinkable.

I usually agree with u kev mate but not on this 1. It was 1 game against a livi side that play decent football at times. There still young and learnin there trade. Give the young bhoys time. They weren't totally outplayed was jus sum silly individual mistakes. HH.

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Sep 2016 18:11:04
5v1 in 45 minutes tells me they are not good enough. I recall people on this site saying our colts would run amok right up to the top of the championship but reality is they wouldn't.

DRB it's not as simple as one poor game, I bet if they played each other 5 times Livi win all the time. Now correct me if I'm wrong but our youth players should be the best team out there and IMO should be beating Livi.

Kris Commons managed to have an unnecessary operation in close - season because he did not want to have to do the hard work of pre- season . Since he eventually returned he hasn't attained the minimum standards that B R requires .
Kris loves Celtic so much that he is prepared to sit at home on match days and draw £20,000 a week from the club he started to love when he was 30 .
I know others who love Celtic and advise us all on a regular basis quoting English Managers who died from alcohol poisoning but these people's love of Celtic is far greater than Commons who has given the club some service but cannot do it any more . The manager now and the last manager was not prepared to set the team up to make an unfit 30 something look well.

Agree0 Disagree1

04 Sep 2016 19:59:42
Of course Kev T you are right to have the opinion that the youngsters should be beating Livinston . However they are not playing on a level playing field . It is obvious that the football management at Celtic do not consider beating Livingston and progressing in that competition as important .
I think we remember that the club have loaned out a number of better players to other clubs presumably to get first team football . Now I think some of these have been called back to play for the youngsters.
No matter if all the players were at Celtic full time and preparing for the next match every day, we would have a better team .
Beating Livingston wasn't a top priority.

05 Sep 2016 01:14:04
Aindoh, I found it very difficult to understand your post tonight . You somehow see my affinity for R D, your eyesight must be very good as currently I have no affinity to Ronny . I make no apology for supporting him whilst he was our manager, as that is our role as supporters to encourage and build the confidence of our footballer players and managers to hep the team
As soon as B R was appointed he became the man. I support .
If R D was the worse manage in Great Britain I would have supported him against the sly thug K C. For his public display of down right disrespect .

Agree0 Disagree1

05 Sep 2016 07:01:03
Oldbhoy, if it came down to a choice between a pisshead like zClough or a clean living boy like Ronnie, as manager of Celtic, who would you take, its a funny old game, innit?
Ps your comment about supporting any manager just because he is the Celtic manager, no matter how inept he is, well. that says it all.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Sep 2016 17:08:07
It was men against boys. The colts have been doing well but shows it is still a big step up for them even against a team like Livi. Need to be loaning these kids out to be playing against teams like this week in week out. It will either help with their progression or show us which ones aren't quite good enough to cut it.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Sep 2016 22:27:43
Aindoh You just have admitted you don't support Celtic, but are just a glory hunter supporting people who bring success to the club .
Myself and thousands more support Celtic warts and all, that what sets us out different from the mobs who support EPL teams .

05 Sep 2016 23:39:59
Oldbhoy, you have just admitted you are a notso glory hunter, you will support anyone aslong as he is masquerading as the Celtic manager, no matter how bad his decisions are, no matter the depths he will drag this great club to, aslong as he is the manager, everyone must praise him, praise him,

03 Sep 2016 23:15:46
Ah I see, thought he had been released or something which in my opinion would be a crying shame, I like commons but he has no right to a starting position until he can prove he's fitter for one and can adapt to the way Rodgers wants to play.

Never liked commons you can check back posts if you want he gave up Scotland because he wasn't getting a game don't be daft enough to think he done it for Celtic commons has no affinity with Celtic the only reason he is here is because we are the only team stupid enough to pay him and if you look back to when he was leaving Derby the only teams interested was us and them across the city and he only chose us because we gave him more money.

commons is past it, a troublemaker of the sneaky kind, he won't move b4 his contracts up imo, he gave us some good memories, but also undermined previous manager at every effort, i will be glad when he's gone, be ready for his missus (the one with balls in the relationship) to do a bit of PR.

04 Sep 2016 03:02:56
Blame the commons fans. They were plenty. He was given a new deal to distract from us not signing anyone. Kept a segment of the support happy. Bit of a shame in my eyes. He could of left earlier and be remembered in a better light.

Agree0 Disagree1

04 Sep 2016 20:05:56
He was given a new contract because the woman he currently shares a bed with played and teased with supporters on buses and stands . Celtic tried to keep all happy, at least she stopped messing with the fans after the new contract was signed.

Sad to see it flattened now we used to have some cracking games of football on the old the old hockey pitch i always had a chuckle to myself years later when i walked past it and saw that they had finally put football goalposts on it instead of the old hockey posts, one of my pals at school was Kevin Gallacher who went on to have a great football career.

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Got to say I was really surprised when I seen him! Yeh it's a glorified training game but still! Got to think BR gave his permission for him to play.

Agree0 Disagree2

03 Sep 2016 14:58:07
It's a charity event and so far it's being played at walking pace. However, I would hope he goes off at HT, having done his bit.
It's a wee reminder all the same, that he is close to the end of his career and hopefully his experience will help Simunovic get his Celtic career off the ground.

Agree4 Disagree1

03 Sep 2016 22:15:33
Maybe Kolo will pick up some tips from the Milan Legends . Of course B R would have given him permission and why wouldn't he . He would walk more playing 18 holes of pitch and putt.

Agree1 Disagree1

03 Sep 2016 13:32:18
To the people callin our players rats n dicks remember commons is still a celtic player and I find it quite shocking to hear that from a (celtic) fan. Go back 2 seasons n without commons we may have lost the league to the sheep. He carried us for a while. Although I do believe his time is up now.

03 Sep 2016 14:09:22
Sparky, you are 100% correct, well said, on the same note If you saw my previous post re Steven Gerard, I think BR has told him that KC will be out before he arrives, this only makes me more convinced that SG is comming in Jan and KC will be out the door on loan to Hibs on Jan 1st.

Agree0 Disagree5

03 Sep 2016 14:27:02
I'm not defending Commons off field antics, but in my opinion he was one of our better players during a time when there was very little entertaining football being played.
The dull football we played in the last couple of seasons wasn't because Kris Commons was playing, it was more because we had a manager who was just out of his depth
Leigh Griffiths said after the home match against Hapoel, that the difference between this season and last, was the manager, he said that last season we would have crumbled after losing the 2 quick goals.
You can argue whether Commons should have criticised Delia, but he was only saying what most of the fans thought. If players show no emotions, we slate them for not caring and just being happy to pick up their wages.
I would much rather have players with a bit of passion, I feel if Ronny had shown a bit more fire in his belly the standards might have been a bit higher than the awful football that we played at times.

Agree2 Disagree2

03 Sep 2016 14:38:39
Really does make me laugh honestly! Not having a go Malika but people on here slaughtering commons for being past it and to slow and now we're waiting for him to leave so gerrard can come in! A guy who's way past his sell by date and is as slow as a week in the jail! So we lose commons on 20 grand a week and bring gerrard who's older and would be on double that in! Makes sense to me!

Agree5 Disagree3

03 Sep 2016 14:39:28
Thanks kev and malika. Jus makes u laugh tho I mean these people wouldo been kissing commons arse 2 year ago now he's a rat. what on earth has he done to be called that. U forget he gave up playin for scotland for our club that alone deserves credit. HH.

Whiss 81, I do not take that you are having a go, I happen to agree with you, KC has been a good servant to us, but he is getting over the hill for what we want, I for one would not bring Gerard here, just saying that I thing BR wants him in and that he will not come if KC is here, given their past.

03 Sep 2016 19:35:41
well said DN30 problem you have is there are a lot of hypocrites on this site i have been saying the exact same thing for ages and also you can criticize players if they are not playing well but as soon as they show some form it's like all previous indiscretions are oot the windae.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 19:38:33
I don't think ambrose is a dick even after all his 'moments' he tried and was professional even when under a lot of criticism. Almost everyone knows what commons is. I did cheer when commons scored but not because he scored but because the team scored. I still stand by my claims that he is a dick. I've always thought it and my own feelings coupled with Ed007s facts about his behaviour off field and the 'games' he is playing off the field I think it's very.
' un-Celtic-fan-like ' to give this guy the apparent adulation that some people are giving him. Yes he played yes he scored some goals but he's a DICK!

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 22:22:08
I used to like Commons when he was a Professional footballer . I remember when
S G was a pro. Footballer too, now I believe he is excercisinng playing in an ageing team in a league for has beens .
Maybe Celtic should sign Fowler to help Griffith& Dembele, make as much sense as going for S G to replace non playing k Commons.

Agree0 Disagree1

04 Sep 2016 16:52:02
Ur spot on Pedro, u cheer goals because it's a Celtic goal, the players come n go but it's the club we support n the players n managers who r there at any different season. The club n the fans r the constants.
Again I will reiterate that commons has had 1 n maybe half a good season over the piece, he was a bit part player when we had hooper n stokes, he had that 1 30 goal season n even throughout that he had a big impact on the team, negatively I feel. The fact he rarely if ever passed when there was a passion he's looking for a shot, didn't track back n moans constantly, n he hits more off target than on. Lennon admitted it himself they had 2 play 2 suit commons n his ego needed massaged, that's embarrassing n some of the nonsense he's been involved in or done at the club is just wrong, don't need to go into it as ed007 has informed people more than once on the character of commons. Overrated by fans n himself, nakamura, lubo, those were players n rogic looks to be another, as I posted previously better than commons already.

No need to refer to JF in that way

KC behaved like one right enough in molde and there was absolutely no class in that

The mulgrew thing was odd ( wages I believe )

03 Sep 2016 13:07:20
Lauchian, speak for yourself, I certainly didn't disrespect R D, nor did many people I know, in the manner that Commons did .
I have the manners to know how to treat superiors, R D wasn't our superior but he was Commons's boss and Kris should be experienced enough to know you don't treat your superior like that . He should have been kicked off the squad that night, he wouldn't have been missed as he has contributed nothing since.

Agree3 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 13:28:12
But still in squad in if plays well he will score goals this should be job done by Christmas n if everyone puts goals in then they can stay or go in January. I just think commons on his day would score prob 1 in 3games more than Bitton or Ciffti Brown McGregor.

What is it with our fans old bhoy, first it was Scott Allan who needed 2 play (praise be on him) , n now n previously commons.
He had his time, caused problems 4 at least 2 managers, scored some good goals but he was no lubo, nor a nakamura so I don't get the commons love in.
Rd no matter what anybody said did a great job while not being supported by the board, having backroom staff picked 4 him, while not being allowed to sign his own players or get rid of who wasn't needed. Then u add in the issues some players had with Collins n he also had refs n those in charge in Scotland colluding so he didn't do trebles. 1st season stonewall cheating, should have been a treble, 2nd season despite not being given adequate replacements, early enough for our central defence, we win the league n the treble again should have been ours, the c game boyata sending off was never a red n cost us that game again n then the sevco game the players whether they got on with Collins, I won't say Rd as Ed has confirmed the majority of players, bar the troublesome trio all liked Rd, so complete unprofessionslism on that day in a game we had more shots n should have won easily, the players like Celtic legends of the past should have been playing for the jersey fist and foremost n for the fans as we r the lifeblood of the club.
They let the fans, Rd n the club down that day so easily could have been back to back trebles but for these small details so the hatred of n directed towards Rd on here, which they clearly don't realise contradicts their don't criticise Kris commons argument is bang out of order But its okay if it's Rd.
Before people come on try n give me crap, Rd signed a contract with stipulations in it clearly, so he's just to give that up because he should be more of a man n speak up according to some, the guy clearly relished the Celtic job n like anyone would want to do his best regardless of any stipulations or issues etc forced upon him, it happens in football. Nobody out of us if we were in that situation would knock back playing for celtic or managing Celtic so people need a reality check.
If br hadn't been giving the backing he has been, by Desmond which came aroun by unprofessional from our players, namely who can go as well as actually getting the players he wants, n pistol Pete keeping his snout out, players in Sinclair, toure, de Vries n gamboa (as dembele apparently was wanted while Rd was here) however in those 4 we know he definitely would have signed, I'm sure he wanted dembele 2 but that deal may already have been on the cards. So straight away 4 positions addreseed or strengthened as we needed another forward minded winger in Sinclair, toure strengthens centre half n the fight 4 a place n the goalkeeper being replaced, which has been necessary for a while. Time will tell how good de Vries but a e have needed a change as Gordon has been woeful at times. Gamboa gives us options with lustig n his pace may be a good option.
Just think, and all u Rd haters out there stop hating him it's really getting old, how if lawell had only allowed Rd the same backing n scenario as br has I believe it would have been back to back trebles n champions league money as well.
Still support the manager, the players, the club n wish for only the best for our great club whatever we each think that is.
Hail hail.

I thought he would have been ideal as cover in the DM and CB role incase we have a few injuries.

probably find simunovic has taken his place but the Bhoy needs time no need to rush him let him get up to speed so his confidence is protected as he matures!

Ok what's the deal hear, I'm still reading in the paper that we have missed out and could have done with a creative CM, yet you have a great playmaker in Commons who is now fit and still been left out the Champions league squad!?!?

Commons is and has always been a Wee dick. He is good but he is also lazy and a moody little arse hole who lacks professionalism which this manager is clearly big on so I can see why he's missed out. Rogic is his equivalent.

Agree6 Disagree1

03 Sep 2016 09:56:07
Could it be that the manager doesn't rate him or thinks he does suit his style?

Kris Commons has one goal and no assists in the CL, including qualifiers. There are younger players with much better ratios than that.

BR likes a high pressing game, players with energy and pace, Commons has neither.

Generally, his shoot on sight policy is as detrimental as it is beneficial.

He's a bit of a rat in terms of squad dynamics and putting himself first.

Not for me, Commons is a one trick pony. He had one GREAT season other than that he is average and doesn't make the bench either in my squad? He became a little to arrogant and his actions last season on and off the field have led to his situation imo.

Commons time is up man.
Seems to be more attitude related than anything else. BR clearly doesn't fancy him even domestically never mind in Europe.

Shame we didn't get rid in the window.

More interesting to see Henderson included yet no Ajer!? Do you think Ed that with the lack of CM crought in we may see more of Henderson than earlier predicted?

Jim Tim commons has scored more than one goal in the CL including qualifiers! Helsingborg Karagandy spartack Moscow elfsborg! At least if your going to call the guy a rat then don't make an arse of urself getting the facts wrong! Honestly he's a wee dick and a rat! U should have a seriously look at your selves by the way! I'm sure this guy is still a Celtic player is he not! Disgraceful comments! Especially when it's a cert use have jumped about celebrating every goal this rat and dick has scored! Especially against that mob across the road! By all means don't rate a player or have a go at his playing style but u go on as if u know this boy personally with the comments! It's laughable!

IMO Commons ego took over his talent a long time ago and BR has seen what a lot of the fans have both in Commons and Efe. Just not right for us. Although, not using up his full quota for CL registration is a strange one. I can only think there might be a late card coming in and the space is temporarily vacant. Not sure if we can add, maybe Ed can clarify.

{Ed007's Note - We can't add anyone to the squad now.}

To call our players dicks and rats is disgraceful.

It's well documented that Commons is disruptive and moody, but after failing to off-load him (while getting shot of Johansen and Allen) , it means we are stuck with each other for at least 4 more months.
If he is willing to knuckle down in training, he may well get a few domestic appearances in the teams busy schedule, otherwise he will just run-down his contract.
There were a few 'bad apples' in the dressing room under RD, but Commons seems to have carried the can and although his Celtic career may be over, he did very well and scored some very important goals over his entire time with Celtic.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Commons, who's had problems with every manager he's worked under, started causing problems at the Club 6 months after signing. Remember in his first full season he fell out with Lennon, was stripped of penalty duties and spat the dummy out, he deliberately got himself sent off at Tynecastle and managed a paltry 1 goal in 33 matches.
Then during preseason 2012/13 Pedro and Lennon held talks with Commons and the Club started to massage his ego and allow his wife to use the Club as her own personal publicity vehicle - next thing you know Commons and his wife are telling anyone who will listen how great life at Celtic was while she was bombarding the media and magazines offering up paid interviews by them as a couple or individually. She seen them as the Posh and Becks of Scottish football.
Neil Lennon has spoken about how he had to adapt the team and his tactics to accommodate Commons, unless a manager does that then Commons is extremely ineffective, Brendan Rodgers will not accept a lazy player in his team and Commons would mess up his entire high pressing game.}

03 Sep 2016 12:31:47
Al bet not one person on here has even as much as much spoken to KC but he's a dick and he's moody because somebody said so . Suppose they didn't celebrate the 80 odd goals he scored for us and quite a few against sevco.

Agree2 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 12:35:13
rat, dick.

talented, creative and match winner.

hes the only player in the team that can change a game using his own skill - the rest of the team is a bit predictable.

also agree he's a lazy lump tho so doesn't suit our current team ethic have been sold for another robot.

Commons isn't good enough to play in Brendan's team, nor was he to play in rd's team either as he's just too slow n greedy, a fast attacking, high pressing game, which all the forward thinking managers are doing n commons can't play this way so that's as simple as it gets. Did well at times 4 us but over the whole period caused too many problems 4 2 many people, rogic is already a better player so I don't get the clamour 4 commons.

03 Sep 2016 14:00:22
Big shaw who are these to many people he caused problems for? Do u know these people personally? In fact don't answer it because the answer is naw! Any midfielder who scores nearly 100 goals for my club deserves more respect than what he's getting! like I said by all means say that BR mite not fancy him as a player and he doesn't suit the system! But don't gies this causing problems for everybody and he's this or that! Nobody on this site knows him personally and has been in a training session or dressing room with him, and I mean nobody! No mater what they claim to hear from this source or that! Like I said in a previous post, some of the comments are laughable!

No second that, I was correct, i was supposed to put "not including qualifiers".

Thanks for clarifying the CL addition point Ed.
Shows what the manager thinks of a player when he would rather have a blank space than fill it with a player he knows he probably would never play.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 18:20:41
Jim Tim the fact u need a website to tell u that says it all!
And u didn't say say not including qualifiers! Hence u made an arse of urself!

Digibanger only player that can turn a game with his skill.
Take it you haven't been watching Griffiths or Roberts or sinclaire
Griffiths can do everything commons can and more.

Wiss, u clearly don't read up much as if u did you would know Neil Lennon stated about having to massage commons ego n playing 2 suit him, it's also well known about the bust up at training, as well as Ed stating categorically exactly what commons is and all the stuff he's done, are Lennon n Ed liars then? away you go pal n drool over your poster of commons, he's bang average n I don't care how many goals he scored doesn't take away from he's bang average, oh but wait if it was Ambrose u were slagging off that's ok eh cause he's not one of your favourites.
Commons leaving will not bother me a jot, nakamura n lubo n Henrik leaving bothered me but then they actually were good players. Commons wouldn't even be in my top 100 Celtic players never mind a top 10 n unlike Larsson lubo n nakamura who were professional to the nth degree n played for the jersey, also so humble yet so talented.
As for u bud u believe what u want as ul choose to do that anyway, hope u ain't in tears when commons gets punted. Any player who puts himself before the good of the club, n like I said I don't care what u say it's facts, can get to as our club means more than any 1 individual.
Hail Gail.

More than happy to go with what we've got rather than slum it out trying to sign one of these free transfer players that we wouldn't have touched before the window closed. HH.

The majority of the team is the same as RD's and I am sure over the next couple of windows, we will see BR bring in more of his own choices. I still think we are short of quality and need some 'steel' and ball-winners to help stop losing so many goals, but we have no choice, but to work with what we have and there is a lot of talent to work with and improve in the meantime.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 12:15:43
No we haven't. Coming here from England, these guys will all be on very good wages. The big transfer fee is always the headline but that doesn't mean decent money hasn't gone into these deals. Dembele was one of the most highly rated young strikers in Europe and chose us, Kolo had offers from the Middle East and China so we must have had to go fairly big on his wages too. I get the feeling some fans would have been delighted with this window had we ended up with the exact same players but spent £15-20M to get them.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Sep 2016 22:39:05
For those who maybe enjoy the banter and visit here rather than actually follow Celtic there has been a big change in our signing policy this window under B R .
B R has signed to measure, he has signed players that he specifically believes will improve positions on the Celtic team, that needed filling . He only signed players he knew .
Previously, strikers were signed as were defenders, these players had to try to adjust their game to fill the hole that the manager needed .

Anybody that is unhappy with our signings in the transfer window, can you let me know the last time we had the following please?

1. A better transfer window
2. A better start to our domestic season
3.The last time we qualified for Champions League (with all the above)
4. Playing the Celtic way

I think it has been quite some time since we have had all of the above. Signing players who have ALL come in and shown their quality and improved the team. It is early days and we will improve over the coming weeks. We have still yet to see Gamboa play and I am just excited about seeing him play. Also looking forward to playing the tribute act and the season ahead as a whole, as we are looking in pretty good shape. We might be in the group of death CL but better playing the best with nothing to lose or fear, as everyone is expecting us to get pumped. Its when we do our best work.
Personally I am just going to savour every minute of being a Celtic supporter this season. Hail Hail.
