Any truth in rumour about Donovan been out of scottish squad due to a Celtic comment to the Rangers players in training.
{Ed007's Note - I'd love that to be true but I doubt it - Rangers died in 2012 and most of those players have retired now 🤭
26 Sep 2026 16:01:50
Two players were always going to miss out with only 12 allowed on the bench.
Donovan and the 4th choice keeper McCracken didn’t make the match day squad.
26 Sep 2026 14:13:56
What's the point in having Donovan in the squad not even on bench.
26 Sep 2026 14:35:20
Experience. He’s nowhere near Hickey in terms of ability. He is not better than Patterson either at this point and has nowhere near the big game experience of both.
26 Sep 2026 14:51:07
He could surely have handled a game against Slovenia he's played in bigger cl games hickey is decent Patterson is garbage.
26 Sep 2026 14:53:54
Yes Not as good as hickey but better than Patterson imo.
26 Sep 2026 15:12:25
Donovan has the potential to be much better than both.
26 Sep 2026 17:52:26
Maybe Buzz, but both have played in the pub league against the best players. Hickey also played in Serie A and Patterson now in Bundesliga.
Donovan, has he actually played in the champions league? I don’t class qualifiers as a proper game and he got tore a new one in Austria.
As it stands he’s 3rd choice RB and rightly so for Scotland. He needs to up his game a few levels.
26 Sep 2026 18:35:39
Remember Donovan only turned 20 a fortnight ago.
Hickey is 24 and Patterson will be 25 next month.
Yet Donovan has played more European matches for his club than those 2 combined.
Donovan 14 European games already.
Patterson 9 European club games but 5 behind closed doors.
Hickey Zero European club matches.
Donovan is doing well and he will continue to get better.
26 Sep 2026 18:50:31
* I meant 5 of those 9 where behind closed doors.
27 Sep 2026 08:35:50
Colby is a great player but I'm hoping for our sake that he is nowhere near the level he could be. I think he has tremendous potential but needs to he coached properly. This is where the Club could actually fail him with our current set up.
We need fundamental change in the coaching team at Celtic so players like Donovan can continue to grow in the modern game. I'm sorry to say but O'Niell and Maloney and the current coaches are not the answer.
26 Sep 2026 11:05:28
Don't know what all the fuss is down south about Manchester City.
Just declare Bankruptcy, drop down a couple of leagues, retain all titles and honours then back up.
For advice contact ibrokes advisors, SFA, SPFL.
26 Sep 2026 12:38:42
Then play the victim card for over a decade! No doubt they will appeal and drag it out for as long as they can. Ed what do you reckon will happen to them?
{Ed007's Note - My guess - and it really is a guess until the written decision and sanction are released - is a massive points deduction severe enough to put City in a relegation battle for the season it takes effect.}
26 Sep 2026 13:58:10
Would Man City titles and cup wins be stripped from them for the period of their negligence?
{Ed007's Note - It's too soon to know but it is possible.}
26 Sep 2026 14:04:07
Liverpool man United arsenal and Chelsea asking for compensation fie liss of earnings and Liverpool saying they list the league by 2 points and them playing players they may nit have afforded, sounds familiar.
26 Sep 2026 14:36:38
Pep done a runner knowing it was coming.
Hope they get severely punished and then you’ll see how much the players really love the club.
26 Sep 2026 16:50:10
Celtic lost chamions league points that would have changed our trajectory during this phase of charges. The overall impact between Europe, their league and teams tumbling down the leagues in England is immense, even small teams in cups and the thousands of players who could have excelled if Man City had coloured within the lines much like that zombie mob in Govan.
26 Sep 2026 19:18:26
I was arguing with a couple of clowns earlier about it, man city will have to pays hundreds of millions in compo they said. no the won't, they just liquidate, the pl won't relegate city, as there too profitable to the pub league, same as spurs won't be allowed to get relegated no matter how rubbish they are.
{Ed007's Note - I'm not to sure about that mate, England's a different kettle of fish when it comes to this kind of stuff, remember how big Leeds were, remember City in the 3rd(dvision), we could pick a good few teams that are "bigger" than a lot of Pub League mainstays but they've all got relegated.
The richest league in the world needs to be seen as fairly ran, there's BILLIONS at stake from all sorts of revenues, the Pub League brand loses nothing of they expel City, it will still be the "biggest" richest league in the world. For a club to get off basically scot free of years of "cheating" in that league could be catastrophic and cause all sorts of legal problems from other member clubs.
This isn't Scotland that's entire eco-system orbits around 2 teams and the need to market the "Old Firm" for TV money etc, Newcastle I'd imagine will be very interested in the outcome of the City case and they have very deep pockets, deeper than even City's.
What is it with these Masonic connected teams and cheating eh? 😋
26 Sep 2026 19:40:29
The SFA usually follow and copy everything the English FA do but I don’t see that being the case this time especially if Man City get Honours stripped.
The Corrupt 5 way agreement probably forbids it.
{Ed007's Note - We're never going back to look at that, Buzz unless there is another financial collapse at Ibrox and that's not happening.
We know what happened, they know what happened and it eats them up that we ALL know... 👍🍀
26 Sep 2026 21:25:07
Think this might be the Celtic calling card that was required? How else does sky reboot!
27 Sep 2026 12:02:49
As you said Ed, there is no reliance of a single team or fixture in the Premiership. It's a multi billion pound league because of sponsorship so the financial implication of them not sanctioning City could far outweigh the fallout they could have from sponsors.
Also, to not sanction would bring the fury from every other Club that has been affected by their actions.
Everton at the moment appealing similar charges.
They can't get away with it.
{Ed007's Note - 👍🏻🍀
26 Sep 2026 10:43:06
Still a lot of gloom and doom on here, let us try and lift the spirits with this
Today is the annual "Cavalry Charge" called the Cambridgeshire
I got tips for some big priced horses (sly pay 7 places, most bookies pay 6)
Newmarket 3.40 Salam Dubawi 28/ 1 (down from 50/ 1) Jim Goldie trains it
Zennor Storm 14/ 1 (from 20/ 1)
Spanish Voice 12/ 1 (from 16/ 1)
Small each way punts advised.
26 Sep 2026 12:26:26
There's also one called Dwindling Funds (80/ 1) - which is quite apt for anyone following your tips 😊.
25 Sep 2026 19:05:41
Billy McNeil, 29 caps, Jimmy Johnstone 23 caps, Grant Hanley 70 caps! The Lions had a combined total of 114 caps which is scandalous and symptomatic of selection "criteria " then.
{Ed007's Note - I do get what you mean, Chinks but there was a lot less international games back then. In the 60s and 70s, Scotland would commonly play only about 5-8 full internationals in a calendar year, although World Cup years or years with tours could push it towards 9-10.
Joe Jordan played every year from 1973-1982 and has 52 caps, apart from 74 and 78 which were WC years he was getting 4/5 caps a year.
But when it comes to McNeill - and other Celtic players - there was definite anti-Celtic bias shown by the committee that chose the squad/team.}
25 Sep 2026 23:07:58
Yeah, less games for sure back in the day which explains it in part. The part that is less "explainable" is 70 caps for Hanley!
26 Sep 2026 10:33:43
You can add wee Jinky to that number as Henderson was picked twice as often as the Celtic player
Then a few years later Danny McGrain was overlooked for Jardine.
{Ed007's Note - And yet McGrain got 62 caps compared to Jardine's 38. McGrain wasn't overlooked, he played most of his games for Scotland as a LB.}
26 Sep 2026 11:42:15
ha ha my auld memory I was meaning he never got picked in his natural RB because of Jardine, and good as he was LB never suited him.
{Ed007's Note - McGrain and Jardine were voted the 2 best full-backs at the 1974 World Cup and most older Celtic fans tell me that McGrain was just as good at LB as he was at RB, I'm some of the other older guys will have an opinion on it.
When you dig deeper into the numbers in fact, McGrain & Jardine played together 19 times for Scotland - and one of them was McGrain starting at RB and Jardine coming on to replace Willie Johnston - so I'd hazard a guess that apart from a couple of games when George Burley and Alex Forsyth got caps that McGrain played the majority of his 62 games for Scotland at RB.}
26 Sep 2026 12:55:40
Mcgrain was world class and it was his consistency and came back from serious injury and a fractured skull.
25 Sep 2026 17:26:37
Some Supporters Groups asking when this year's AGM will be, going by previous years club will tell fans in October and then AGM scheduled for mid/ end November
But fans need to be clever this year and not shout and rant, ask sensible questions and make Board answer them in person
make them squirm at the table.
25 Sep 2026 18:49:59
Tim you know and I know. It will be a closed bowling club committee meeting. No hard questions, all vetted or no entry. Seen an article about a meeting between the collection and club only no actual directors there only the fans liason officer. They have created a fans group hand picked to represent fans instead of the collective.
26 Sep 2026 10:12:42
Good shout Tim there needs to be a constructive criticism and calmness or we'll never get to ask the questions we want answered although getting an answer might be a stretch, the kast agm played tight up their street and they got off lightly.
26 Sep 2026 11:29:24
Were the fans not reasonably well behaved before Ross Desmond got up and threw in his grenade of a statement on behalf of his father?
25Sep 2026 08:04:35
On the subject of what the endgame is for this board, what if where we are now is the endgame? What if the board have been psychologically beating us into submission over a period of time? A sort of battered wife scenario, one of total controlling coercive behaviour where after long periods of abuse they buy you a present or promise things will be better before the next cycle of abuse begins.
If you look at how some of the support look longingly at ‘the next window’ it’s an easy comparison to make. The clubs media lackies have already started with the revisiting the Gineitis kaka. Maybe they will but AJ or Nygren would be sold to cover it…. before the next cycle of abuse starts.
25 Sep 2026 09:40:58
Johnston and Nygren will be looking to get out now when their stock is high. That’s the reality of the situation.
I appreciate Johnston is a brilliant player but even when he’s been out injured young Donovan has stepped up and has been arguably our best player so far this season.
I still look at it like this. We bought 6 players in the last 48 hours of the window. A few that were meant to be starters for us. They’ve not had time to bed in and this 3 week break will come as such a benefit to the overall squad.
Again the lack of foresight from the board is the issue here and getting deals done earlier. Appreciate there are other underlying factors but we go chasing players for months and only get it done at the end of the window. I reckon we will go on a decent run when we return from IB.
25 Sep 2026 11:58:47
What's happening or more to the point, is not happening at our club pales into insignificance to those suffering domestic abuse. On a football level we can make choices. Do I buy a ST or not? Do I detach myself emotionally from Celtic or not?
For me there's more to life than Celtic but I realise for some, Celtic is their life.
But aye, they're sucking the life out of the club. A club whose fans over history have breathed a passion for all things Celtic but sadly where apathy is king. Even the atmosphere at derby games is zilch. That's not on the fans. That's on DD and his yes men.
25 Sep 2026 12:05:14
Be lucky to sell nygren on present form,
25 Sep 2026 14:43:53
Nonsense comment Mally. Nygren will have his suitors regardless of a few poor games. He scores and assists.
As long as he doesn’t stoop to Captain Liability levels then he will do just fine.
25 Sep 2026 14:55:23
In no way was I trivialising domestic abuse. I was using the analogy to demonstrate how people who use coercive behaviour operate and pointing out similarities with the boards treatment of the clubs support.
{Ed007's Note - It's ignorant and crass, that's why I deleted and I have no idea why one of the other Eds posted it up.}
25 Sep 2026 15:45:41
9iar I agree with Mally. Nygren is lazy and offers nothing if not scoring a goal. I don't see where these intrested clubs will come from.
25 Sep 2026 17:31:37
Nygren p@@@ s@@@@ rotten, as a midfielder,
If any team can afford a free role for a player I’m sure he will grab them a pile of goals, fair play to him on that metric.
25 Sep 2026 20:15:52
On his game he’s a class player. Got a bit of Rogic about him.
{Ed007's Note - I've been saying that on the pods since we signed him, Ken!! He's not your typical grafter, he has no great pace but if you need a goal he could find one, exactly the same as Rogic.}
26 Sep 2026 09:45:39
Nygren is a goal machine, we just need to hope his performance's improve, like a few others in the team, hopefully getting Johnston, Jota, Osmand and Yang back will give us a boost in coming weeks, though I see Yang is meant to be carrying a hamstring injury.
26 Sep 2026 10:14:55
Nonsense have you watched him recently when was his last goal, and that'll be the last time he contributed anything what assists my mind must be playing tricks, yes he scores goals but its been a while.
26 Sep 2026 11:00:37
See where you’re going by suggesting this resembles an abusive relationship, Chasaboy. It is worth looking for the right analogy here: god knows management beggar belief. Still, this is probably a bit of a stretch, pending some more connecting details.
26 Sep 2026 11:13:49
Letter Kenny, Mally is a McGregor man the player that does nothing for the squad but cause us defeats and lose goals. Who talks utter *$€^% after defeats and doesn’t have the decency to say to MON the he needs dropped cause he is garbage.
Malky has a desire to pick on anyone else bar McGregor for some bizarre reason.
Nygren is top of the goals and assist stats in the league.
Nygren has a few poor games and is lynched yet nothing said about Captain Liability, the worst player at Celtic.
26 Sep 2026 14:56:29
I've been critical of mcgregor he's been awful this season and looks done, nygren scores great goals out of nothing but he needs to be in the right team, right now our midfield isn't strong enough to allow him to swan about he contributes nothing we need better midfielders to allow him to play the way he likes.
24 Sep 2026 19:35:25
Michael Stewart mentioned he nearly joined Celtic before he returned to Hearts.
That’s sounds typical and is right up our street because not one penny was spent in transfer fees throughout his entire career.
24 Sep 2026 21:27:29
He was hopeless thank goodness we never signed him mate.
24 Sep 2026 22:13:22
Don’t agree with everything he says but 1 of the fairest pundits out there in my opinion.
25 Sep 2026 07:11:37
Buzz the fact he didn’t
Sign (free) does that not mean he doesn’t fit the current narrative and its opposite of sounding typical, I’d suggest his recent story is more about him nailing his Glasgow colours to wall, (admittedly I’ve not read anything other than a headline)
25 Sep 2026 08:24:18
I'd agree Troy. The mask slipped a bit last season though 😂.
25 Sep 2026 09:42:12
Always felt like Michael Stewart had such a bitter side about him like the football industry did him wrong.
25 Sep 2026 15:24:02
Never mind about anything else he was pish.
24 Sep 2026 18:20:55
Normally hate international breaks but this one is well timed.
24 Sep 2026 11:54:07
I've had a vision it's Derek McInnes storming out if Celtic Park with his players at the end of the season after MON pissing on his chips 🤢.
Oh wait a minute!
