Hi Ed. Apologies as it looks like I started a wee trend with my question. I'm very impressed with the work you do and the clarity and quick response of your answers. Keep up the great work. {Ed007's Note - Thanks very much. Don't worry about that, I'm just glad to help.}

Hi ed, I was down in London at the weekend and the rumour down there is that John Carew is in contract talks with Celtic. Colin Turner

He was finished 3 years ago.

Noooooooooooooooo

Say it aint so

Could be worth a one year deal, hes a free agent after leaving west ham

Could do a job from the bench for a year. especially as a free transfer and maybe help coaching the forwards

Kevin Kyle would have been a better bet and that's saying something !

Alright ed do you know how much the Blackburn bid is for Rhodes and if there's still interest from us ?


Kieran {Ed007's Note - The Blackburn bid is £4 million up front and £2 million if they are promoted back to the EPL next next year. CFC are still interested but there has been no formal offer made.}

You would like to think we should be able to match that bid with the 7m for ki and possibly 8m for wanyama not forgetting the chance of getting 15m champions league money that you would have a better chance in qualifyin

Aye rite 6 million for a young lad who has only played in the 1st division , you could and would get better for 6 million, we need a center half as well so there is no way we are paying that much for rhodes.

I hope that celtic use all the money from the sale of ki to land this bhoy as he is a class act

I would be absolutely amazed if Celtic pay anywhere near that amount of money for any player this season,never mind a player from the lower leagues in England! My guess would be Neil Lennon will be lucky if he gets to spend 4m on a centre half and a centre forward! Not really what I want but just being realistic guys,times are hard.
Bry the bhoy!

Heard form john Kennedy that Celtic have made a deal with Huddersfield to sign Rhodes if we get in to the champions league lets hope we beat Helsinki

I cant see the board putting an offer like that in for any players these days. wishfull thinking lads. whats your opinion ed?. can you see the club going for it with big transfers?...........bhoywonder {Ed007's Note - My heart says yes but my head says no.}

Hi Ed just heard on sly sports news Southampton interersted in Kayal and Hooper have you heard anything??

Weemarty {Ed007's Note - I thought there interest in Hooper stopped when they signed Rodriguez, Southampton wouldn't pay what CFC wanted for him. Nigel Adkins wants to pair Kayal up with Steven Davis in MF but again the clubs' valuation of the player are very different.}

Celtic Football Club statement

By: Newsroom Staff on 04 Aug, 2012 11:05

FOLLOWING recent events, the Club has been well aware of the issues around children's 'opt-in' tickets. We are pleased to announce the following statement.

"The vast majority of our supporters have not sought any form of compensation. However, a small minority of our supporters have made us aware of this inconsistency.

"Therefore, those who have bought children's tickets prior to July 4, 2012 and opted for the inclusion of the game featuring 'Rangers FC or a successor to it', will be able to receive a £30 voucher for Celtic stores.

'We understand that not all fans will wish to take up this offer. However, we are pleased to make this option available to those supporters who do. We will be writing to supporters shortly to confirm the details.'�

The Club sincerely thanks all our fans for their continued support.

Jungle Bhoy.(Told You!)

I did believe that soon as you posted it mate I was hoping that the delay in official announcement was because they had rethought it and decided to do the correct thing and simply refund cash value in its Entirety.

Utterly shameless the rangers or replacement disclaimer as no "replacement" team would bring the same volume of fans therefore the need to be rehoused elsewhere is redundant.

I am ashamed of the stance the club has taken on this, I mean vouchers that can't be used for x,y or z? Add in the mark up on the items that can actually be purchased from the shop and the refund amounts to 8quid or not far off.

Jamie Mac(scandal)

The "Told You" was aimed at the doubters when i posted.I was in 2 minds whether to include that part anyway.IMO what the club should do is give a complete kit to each child affected as compensation.

Jungle Bhoy.

JB, do you know what happens to the opt out tickets when we play Dundee? I have a �50 ticket for my 5 year old son because I chose not to subject him to the bile of the rangers fans. Would his ticket be valid for all games or do I have to purchase additional tickets?

Skelly

I really don't know Skelly,we don't usually have much to do with tickets in retail.I'm affected by the price too.
