Celtic banter 2

19 Jul 2026 09:50:58
Although iam as desperate as the next Tim for new faces if the team that's starts rhe season is sinasola aj ccv scales kt callum engles nygren yang Duran tounekti/ forrest, I'd be confident that they'd wipe the floor with the rest.

19 Jul 2026 10:36:07
4 of them are rumoured to be getting sold:

Nygren, Yang, Callum and Engels.

19 Jul 2026 10:39:43
Jesus weep happy clapping nonsense.

19 Jul 2026 12:51:25
Sign of the times Jim.

19 Jul 2026 13:21:53
All this about Nygren being sold, can't see it. He doesn't offer enough.

Yang was report as leaving in Jan till MON stopped it, he's seems to be an MON fav.

Engels will go that's no secret.

I think McGregor goes also.

It's who we get to replace them.

19 Jul 2026 16:08:56
No one?

20 Jul 2026 07:01:39
Jim Jim what's nonsense about it, you don't think that 11 would beat most teams, that's all iam pointing out I said we need players pronto.

18 Jul 2026 23:23:41
I can’t strew enough how calm heads are needed right now, I have serious concerns about nicholsons ability to do a deal, but our target and links to players seem ok, if we get them over the line we look ok, I worry what we will do if we or when we sell, because starters need replaced by starters, loved the signal sent today, hopefully we see some movement.

19 Jul 2026 00:51:37
Mate, it’s got to the point that I want the Messiah out. He’s starting to sound like MN. Demand players to save his legacy or go. We need 2/ 3 quality to qualify for the CL. Progress in Europe is essential. Last season proved that with a poor team we can win the league.

19 Jul 2026 07:20:22
Would a new manager say anything different.

19 Jul 2026 08:53:29
MON said yesterday that there should be player/ s in next week, so here's hoping.

Unfortunately his relationship with DD is causing a lot of negative comments and his continual reference to DD being the club owner.

He has obviously agreed to take rhe job fir a year with no guarantees, which makes you wonder if that us why he got rhe job.

If that is the case, surely our biard realuse that even though he did a great job with what he had kast seasin, there us absolutely no chance that he will do that again with the squad he has.

Sevco are getting stronger, non of us can deny that and Hearts will be an unknown due to players leaving and being replaced.

We need to be a lot stronger. You learn very little from friendlies other than the depth of your squad and tbh ours is a small puddle.

Duran gas come in a settled nicely, any new players will not get that time; they will need to hit the ground running.

19 Jul 2026 09:02:13
I am sure all the fans are confident that the board will get things right. After all, they eventually and reluctantly admitted that "mistakes were made" and "lessons have been learned". 🫣.

19 Jul 2026 10:49:02
I thought the word Apathy sums me up but it's 2 words-Fecking Scunnerd!

19 Jul 2026 11:53:12
Hearts just beat the conference league runners up in pre season. I know it's pretty season but still that's a good result for them, we will get to see more of what they'reabout in their CL qualifier.

Some of the Bhuns on X said they watched that game and reckon Hearts will be competing again for the league and that they fear them more than us currently.

19 Jul 2026 13:04:16
Right now why would anybody fear us? We are losing good players and will replace them with cheap duds.

19 Jul 2026 13:58:58
When was the last time this board got any Quality players that we were reportedly "interested" in over the line in previous windows, I'm also sure that MON mentioned after the Sporting game that he hoped to have new faces in before the end of the week.
Well that's another week passed and another one closer to the CL playoff.

We are currently 12 players down from our 1st team squad and we will be luck to finish 3rd.
Nicholson won't spend another penny until after the playoff, just like last season and he will be rubbing his hands with glee since our transfer window shuts 2 days after every other one this season.

20 Jul 2026 12:07:10
I fear us if no more signings just outgoings!

18 Jul 2026 22:25:29
Just to let yous know we never went for that jenes hatro Dahl, seeing stuff online about him rejecting us… not true.

19 Jul 2026 02:30:53
Just more paper pish to keep Sevco happy thinking that they are getting one over us, it happens with almost all of their signings.
It could be because his agent contacted us first to see if we were interested and we said no so he went to them.

19 Jul 2026 10:24:50
@Newgen good to see you "off the Naughty step" lol.

19 Jul 2026 12:26:36
Anything to keep the hordes happy. Just another non story about our failures which is only believed by the deluded but our track record gives them the ability to print this rubbish. Our club remains silent on all matters.

19 Jul 2026 14:02:03
It's funny how the SMSM are allowed to print whatever lies they want to make up and are welcomed into the club with open arms, they even go out for a pint with MON but our own fan media who are the only ones that stand up for the club are banished.

18 Jul 2026 20:51:17
Has MON become part of the problem. He seems to be too close to the people who will be responsible for him taking the flack if things don’t improve. And his jokey patter will start to wear very thin very quickly with a support who have had enough.

19 Jul 2026 13:09:42
Start to? His jokey rubbish is becoming embarressing, especially as he tries to appesse the pal who he is indebted to. His big Tash Faced "owner". We aren't laughing Martin, we are squirming at how pathetic your defence of those clowns has become. Stop it and talk to us like adults and stop your DD arse licking routines.

18 Jul 2026 20:31:50
Absolute Cowards

I just heard neither our CEO nor our Interim Chairman were at Celtic Park today

It tells you what they think of our club, they are supposed to be promoting.

18 Jul 2026 20:58:41
Feck me, the people who caused the boycott, boycotted it. You couldn’t make it up!

18 Jul 2026 21:21:05
Maybe, just Maybe they were busy with getting deals done. No even I don't believe that one.

18 Jul 2026 21:50:05
We’re u there Tim it a fan there behinds the scenes men. Look I’m not sticking up for them but stuff like this is way ott.

18 Jul 2026 22:46:59
Nothing is over the top concerning these serial failures. They hold the Celtic support in utter contempt and totally deserve the same in return. They treat us like the enemy so should not expect any different treatment. They want our money then want nothing more to do with us.

And regardless of what they do in the remaining time left in this window, they continue to demonstrate they are not up to the job. If they were even remotely competent, none of these discussions would even be taking place.

19 Jul 2026 08:54:23
Maybe they where in discussions/ negotiations with players and agents?

19 Jul 2026 09:08:47
Failures is winning eff all mate. We’ve been racking up trophy efta trophy most successful club in the country. Fans of other teams would do anything for our success. And the way fans turn on legends of this club is disgusting even booing we’re own club keeper last season.

19 Jul 2026 10:01:18
Maybe they should have been doing that long before now, probably since the last window closed, most certainly since the season ended. Most other clubs see that as future planning. No more excuses for these clowns, every attempted deal now will just be more difficult as agents see our desperation grow.


Utterly mind blowing how Desmond became a billionaire if his recruitment in his other companies is anything near the level of the cretans he has running this club.

19 Jul 2026 11:55:26
In fairness if they wasn't at the game I'd expect them to be busy trying to get players in. Maybe a silver lining in that one.

19 Jul 2026 12:29:34
That's what you would expect but not a certainty!

19 Jul 2026 14:04:23
United, I'm starting to think you are Ross Desmond in disguise.

19 Jul 2026 14:54:41
Trophy after trophy and haven’t progressed this club one bit. Twenty years of standing still. Other clubs would have used that success as a base to build on, this lot see it as a perfect excuse to do sweet FA.

19 Jul 2026 19:29:15
Why cause I don’t think like you. Cause I don’t go into meltdown. I will assess the transfer window when it’s shut mate then form my opinion.

I like to keep a positive mindset in general in life. Worlds a mess right now I really hink this country’s heading for a financial collapse wars all over the world people struggling in life daily drug and alcohol addiction are rife depression going through the roof.

The way grown men are acting over players not been signed fast enough is embarrassing and I dnt mean just on here it’s aw the comments on they podcast on YouTube mate it’s shocking look we would all like hings to be done quicker and good quality brought in but it is what it is I won’t go into a meltdown and froth out the mouth because of it as a says I will form my opinion when transfer window is finished and the one player who we have brought in so far I’m happy with he looks like he will do really well for us and improve us. I will still support the team and be optimistic about the season and hopefully see more trophy’s lifted I have been seeing loads of them being lifted in recent years and long may it continue.

As for the merchandise I stoped buying it years ago mate refuse to pay that money for a football top. Scandalous what they charge and it’s not just a Celtic thing it’s just a football thing. There a business I understand that now so I put the business side of it to the side and just try n enjoy the team now and winning things and we have been doing that.

And a lot a fans trying to tell other fans not to enjoy watching the team as there happy clappers they have to sit frothing out the mouth and sit in a stage of radge.

As for the board couldn’t give a toss about them mate all self serving millionaires but what can I do they own the club and all the shares they run it well as a business and the team is successful so I can’t see them going anywhere sitting in a stage of radge hateing them is no good for the mindset. There was even some one on one of the podcasts basically telling people to make them be Afraid to walk the street basically set about them. That’s sevco behaviour to me and makes our fan base look terrible.

19 Jul 2026 19:32:05
Depends how you define progress chasa. Trophy after trophy is progress we’re one of the best well run clubs in the world mate. Look I agree Micheal Nicholson needs replaced we need a football minded man there with a good business head to.

19 Jul 2026 20:28:29
Not in meltdown as I don’t see this as a one window event. This is about a systematic failure to progress the club in any meaningful way. Quoting unchallenged success in a one horse race just shows the total lack of any ambition just to be as good as we can be. The best well run clubs don’t treat their own supporters the way this shower of self serving twats do with us. Just to emphasise the point, don’t think the collective came about because a couple of fans took the hump.


Pretty sure it was well over a decade ago I came to this site, on more than a few occasions back then, I mentioned that I thought this club was being deliberately held back/ reined in. I've never changed that opinion, if anything i feel validated. You are entitled to your unambitious opinion, i just don’t agree.

20 Jul 2026 06:30:09
Wasn’t a one horse race that season there was it. I actual enjoyed that season there us being challenged hope it continues. There’s no fun in being 15 to 20 points ahead with about 10 games to go every season. Look as I says I dnt disagree with fans on the board mate it’s just the way grown men are acting about it then taking there anger out in other fans to because they dnt act angry like them.

Even had a podcaster basically calling for fans to assault the board if they were seen on the street. I want progress in Europe so for this window am just sitting back intill it’s closed then see whose in n a will be really disappointed if there’s not a Calibre of player in that will help improve us in Europe.

20 Jul 2026 10:07:07
Like I said this is not about one window or one campaign. If we made even a moderate attempt at improving, the league would take care of its self. The problem is that this club is ran by people who despise their own fanbase ( if they even care enough to despise us) and by their own admission, do not want to change anything.
I’ll keep an eye out for all the top clubs selling their best players and buying no one just to make their leagues more competitive but can’t really see Bayern, PSG, Real Madrid etc doing that.


As for last season, hamstringing your self to make others competitive isn’t going to improve anything, it’s just a slow death till standards drop to a level where everyone loses interest.

20 Jul 2026 16:50:58
Why would they sell there best players there the best clubs in the world there players are already at the top there’s no we’re better for them to go the players wouldn’t want to leave and they dnt need to sell.

18 Jul 2026 19:13:14
Ed sorry for asking but fancy giving
Us all another transfer rundown,

{Ed007's Note - I've been trying mate 🤷‍♂️

18 Jul 2026 22:31:27
It won't take long. 🤣.

18 Jul 2026 19:21:41
I put this on FB last night. Martin, just resign. This is not for you. Brendan was right!
I've now just seen his post match presser. Chirpy chappy as usual. However, when asked if there has been any movement on incomings he gave a gig thumbs up and said 'There has'! He doesn't look down in the dumps or disillusioned to me in the slightest.

We all know MN should be hunted from Celtic Park, but after seeing this I feel a wee bit more optimistic. Thoughts?

18 Jul 2026 20:08:30
I remember him saying the same in January.

Only once they have signed can we have a view on the player.

Talk is cheap with this board.

18 Jul 2026 20:12:20
Celtic had actually made 6 new signings by this date last year.
KT, Doohan, Osmand, Inamura, Yamada and Nygren.
Yet Brendan only played 2 of those players.

It’s very frustrating how slow we do our business every year but I don’t mind waiting if it turns out to be a good signing.
On the flip side it’s unfair for new signings to hit the ground running without a proper pre season with their new Management and teammates.

Most of our opponents have done their transfer business early but that doesn’t mean they have signed better players than us.
The Celtic transfer window thus far has been unsurprisingly expected.

18 Jul 2026 21:35:40
Buzz how do yoy know they haven't signed better players than us if we've only signed one player. Nothing to compare them to. It's a joke.

{Ed007's Note - What player has any Scottish team signed that you'd have at Celtic?}

18 Jul 2026 21:51:07
Well said mark. By the looks of it Celtic have signed the best player so far. Proved it in champions league last year and looks to be showing his worth at us so far.

{Ed007's Note - Shankland's the new BFKB, Devlin is the type of player we need in midfield but nowhere near good enough and their new GK let in 65 goals in 48 games last season 😂😂

18 Jul 2026 22:18:03
True mate, Devlin would have been a decent squad player but we’re bloated in the cm department. From what I’m seeing the players we’re going for is players to improve us in Europe that’s what we've been wanting.

18 Jul 2026 22:25:19
Shankland, Connor Ronan, Guendouz. I d even say Devlin for some bite in midfield. It's not just about what other Scottish teams have already signed though is it? It's about the players Celtic are inept at finding and convincing to sign. The raft of players needed to fill the many positions currently needed, and to backfill the positions when the likes of Maeda, Engels, Hatate, etc is frightening. And yet we're two weeks before the start of the season with a squad that is threadbare.

18 Jul 2026 18:11:53
The money lost by today's boycott would have been enough to bridge the gap and pay Sarrachi what he wanted (and was worth) over his contract. Just shows how short sighted and thick our Board really are.

18 Jul 2026 19:53:46
Well Said.

18 Jul 2026 19:56:07
His agent said there was never ever an offer from us. They had not had contact from us for a month.

So all the so called stories about us going for him were nonsense.

So we didn't want him and although we had an offer for Iheanacho agreed by him, he took the big money offer from Turkish 2nd Division, so he is away after the money.

18 Jul 2026 20:38:28
Mate we’re going for Bakker instead of Sarrachi as the see him as better caliber of player and he can play anywhere on the left played at the highest level. The players comeing in are players who have played in the big tournaments and proved them self. That’s what we have been asking for isn’t it players that will kick us on in Europe.

19 Jul 2026 09:31:40
At 6.1 in height he is also more in line with the profile MON used to go for.

19 Jul 2026 12:42:59
Defo north big physical maybe O’Neill prefers him over Sarrachi. I’m happy with either one.

18 Jul 2026 17:45:26
Be interested to know durans way to us. Data?, scouting, ? Recommended? He looks decent, so where’s the rest, is Egyptian a World Cup reaction or true target?

18 Jul 2026 19:57:45
Absolutely no mention of midfielders coming in so hopefully we don't accept first offers for Engels, Nygren or Hatate as we will be in serious trouble then.

18 Jul 2026 20:31:50
I don't think any midfielders will be in until players are moved on MIP. Hopefully we may get the two or three wingers mentioned in next week with Maeda then being granted his move.

Engels hasn't had a bid yet, and seeing as we're meant to be interest in Felix Horne Myhre he seems to be the identified Engels replacement. I'm just guessing and wishful thinking at this point.

18 Jul 2026 20:40:07
In terms of cm looking to see whose moving on first as there could only be 1 or 2 or maybe 4. It’s the foward line getting sorted first. Then players cleared out then replacements.

19 Jul 2026 08:40:39
UI I’m trying to be supportive of your posts but if you’re correct that we’re going after forwards first and not doing everything simultaneously then the people running this are more amateur than I even thought.

19 Jul 2026 12:39:45
From the way I’m looking at it mate we’re heavy bloated in the cm department I think wee have 7 cm. Hatate Nygren Callum ox McCowan Bernardo and Engles. McCowan ox are 2 who are certs to stay. So we will definitely bring some in if this happens Hatate wants out he will leave Bernardo wants more game time may stay or may go his agent will probably be looking about for him I think Callum is 50/ 50 in staying or going as for Nygren and Engles good bids more than likely will be comeing in for them if most of the players who could leave get bids and offers I personally think they will all leave soon as the first one or twos deals go through that’s when the cm targets we have moves will be made.

Silly to sign a cm just now when u have 7 and there deals on leaveing us dnt go through leaves us majorly bloated in cm department then.

18 Jul 2026 16:58:22
Really low attendance hope that's a message to that lot dome of the young boys showed up well haney and mcardle especially but as usual they'll go missing.

18 Jul 2026 18:02:00
If we sell Callum, Nygren, Engels and hatate, we will probably be playing some of these young guys, ready or not.

18 Jul 2026 20:42:11
That’s what we’re waiting on to see who moves out them then the cm department will be sorted. We’re bloated in cm just now be daft to sign one and none of them move.

18 Jul 2026 21:18:34
PLay the youths at every opportunity.

18 Jul 2026 16:41:49
Ed have you heard anything about us being in for Tyler Fredrickson from Man UTD? We were apparently in for him in January but he got injured. He has been left at home ffrom their preseason game apparently making a permanent exit.

{Ed007's Note - Fredricson is close to joining a club on mainland Europe,.}

18 Jul 2026 19:54:59
Thanks for the reply. He’s a cracking talent as well. Would have been an astute signing.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🍀
