Wasn't in the Jungle that day but was in the Celtic end (for the youngsters The Jock Stein) there must have been 70,000 in that day remember they were even watchin the game from the track round the park.. Magical...Great Memories ......Stevie

Haha brilliant remember the official attendance was 40000 or around that figure couldn't stop laughing when they announced that... At least 70000 there brilliant day

I was in the Rangers end with my Dad and sister. Pretty hard to stay on your feet after a goal when you're 11!

Great day.

Has anyone else heard any of these McCourt to Portland Timbers in MLS rumours?

Paddy's not going there. The Guinness is honking in America.

Anton

I'm not a huge fan of Paddy but the MLS is tailor made for him. He would be a sensation over there!

No I haven't heard them, but I really hope they are true. Taxi for Paddy.

One of the finest men to pull on a celtic jersey
a guy who supports, knows, loves the club
a guy who can change a game in a an instant
a guy who is attack minded
would have fit into any celtic side in the past 125 years
hail hail paddy mccourt i hope you never leave god bless

Celtic are allegedly looking at Brahim Bedbouda a 22 yr old Algerian International who plays at left back. Seems he comes highly rated from Wanyama's agent.. Mrs E

Wouldn't he be getting ready for African Cup of Nations right now, if he was an Algerian international ?

Lennon has already stated that he would like 2 or 3 players to come in during this window..
Rami Gershon will be confirmed on Monday.
Another option being looked at is Juwon Oshinawa, this is only still an option
Another target of Lennon is Helder Barbosa from Braga, this is a player Lennon admires. Left winger and is out of contract at the end of the season- was almost signed on the last day of the season.

Roman Eremenko is also another target of Lennon, he would cost between 4 or 5 million..this deal will be done if Kayal leaves which looks likely.

Kayal has been looking good recently but yeah he's the least important in our midfield. Never thought I'd be saying that after his debut season

I can't see Kayal leaving especially with Gershon joining.

The running left back slot needs strengthened. Emilio Izzagere hasn't been the same since his accident.

I would be happy with that.

We need to keep kayal IMO as an offer we can't refuse will come in for victor. If kayal went too that'd leave brown and ledley for centre mid.

They are both good players but the point is they get injured regularly- I know kayal has the same issue but we could go from being very strong in midfield positions to very light.

Victor is gone whether this window or next, ki went in the last and now there's rumours of kayal going. In my opinion we cannot allow this to happen, it would be a disaster.

Jamie mac

Would definetely keep kayal, what if Vic gets a bad injury or is sold? And brown has this I ongoing problem also? Ledleys in and out of the team aswell so with the last 16 coming up and the fact we don't have to spend and are financially stable It would be sensible to hold it out till the summer! Then look at our options guys cause there's no point shipping important players out and hurrying to bring in replacements with whom may not jel as soon as we need them to, Lennon himself has said no one has come and said they want to leave so it looks all good in my opinion, why leave when you have the last 16 and in all 4 competitions when you've worked so hard to get there!
Would love to see barbosa though, guys exactly what we need on the left wing and they could be tempted of an offer rather than losing him for nothing.
Gershon barbosa and maybe another defender in
Mcourt Ibrahim and possibly bangura out on loan will happen

Markmck

In all honesty, I'll be surprised to see anyone of note (from the first team) leave in the transfer window - and anyone else come in apart from the Israeli defender. Certainly big changes in the summer. That does not mean I don't want any signings by the way.............kbt1978

We've always got Sammy on left wing, Forrest on right wing, in midfield, broony, Ledley, commons..... Kayal and big vic, ...

Seen that some Ugandan midfielder is being linked with Celtic.

Moses Batunfata from an Indonesian club - supposed to be concluded next week with strong rumours about Wanyama leaving for united.

Never heard of this Moses guy but some of Lennies best signings over the last few years have been relatively unknown beforehand
