Celtic FC Rumours

19 Jan 2026 17:49:00
Hearing from a reliable source that desmond has met with noel hunt this week regarding taking the managers job in the summer. By all accounts he was very impressed and feeling inside the club is that hunt if currently the preferred candidate.

Also hearing of 2 incomings. Nathan fraser on loan from wolves and owen dodgson from burnley, although dodgson may be a summer signing if they cannot agree a deal this window.

19 Jan 2026 18:31:13
I might be taking the bait here. But surely not. We need better than him. Someone is taking the Hunt.

19 Jan 2026 18:37:33
Don't think this would be liked by the majority of Celtic fans he has never managed at a top club.

19 Jan 2026 18:38:59
Haha ok.

19 Jan 2026 18:52:52
Welcome back hoops88 its been a while.

19 Jan 2026 19:03:48
You sure it was not Jeremy hunt. 🤣.

19 Jan 2026 19:05:49
Desmond believes hunt will go on to be a top coach and willing to give him the opportunity. I found it hard to believe myself but this source is just so damn reliable that I know this is true.

19 Jan 2026 19:07:22
Hoops88 is back. It must be the transfer window 😂.

19 Jan 2026 19:11:35
If you see previous posts I predicted Iheanacho would sign, taken a bit longer than expected but we finally got it over the line. This info came from same guy who has the inside scoop on noel hunt. We just need to back him so that's we don't needs to sack him.

19 Jan 2026 19:41:43
Your guy is clearly on the glue 🤣🤣.

19 Jan 2026 20:30:28
You sure it’s not Mike Hunt?

19 Jan 2026 20:52:25
At least it’s not Jonjo Shelvey because you’ve had him coming to Celtic in every other transfer window.

{Ed007's Note - The Burger Bar....

20 Jan 2026 00:17:49
Hoops88,

were you released early for good behaviour?

Seriously though, keep em coming, your mystic meg like 'predictions' might just lighten the mood a wee bit.

20 Jan 2026 04:15:13
I never even noticed who posted that lol.

20 Jan 2026 08:47:49
DD thought WN would develop into a good manager, so his judgement is suspect!

19 Jan 2026 21:27:19
Ed can you not include a block option lol.

{Ed007's Note - I think there is a block option or it'll be up and running soon.}

19 Jan 2026 12:23:15
Chelsea have recalled Fofana from Turkey.

19 Jan 2026 17:14:31
Is there any truth in the Motherwell lad coming to us.

19 Jan 2026 18:01:22
Be a brilliant signing this bhoy hh.

20 Jan 2026 00:22:38
Who knows Timalloy but he can score goals and that's a start.

Stephen Welsh + £2M-£3M should do it and he's only 20mins up the roas from CP, so getting a chat with him should'nt be too difficult.

Get Mulligan in from Hibs, he coupd be a real player for us going forward, maybe even a future captain?

One or both of the giant CB's currently playing in Germany that have been mentioned. One is the Swiss lad at Eintracht Frankfurt (6ft6") the other is Jamie (something) he's 6ft7".

20 Jan 2026 03:41:13
Pedro71 don’t think Ed007 will be to happy wi your mulligan prediction as future captain because Stephen Welsh already has that slot booked 🤔🤣.

{Ed007's Note - 😂🤭

If this team struggles today, which i don't see why they will . But if they do we need another 11 players in the transfer windows lol.

18 Jan 2026 17:12:42
Four right footers in the back 4.
I noticed under 5 goals and under 10 corners in the match is a massive 6/ 1.
13/ 2 with a Boost Ladbrokes bet.

18 Jan 2026 19:37:16
We never really score a lot of goals against non league sides, east Kilbride and today can't really remember another non league side we have played.

19 Jan 2026 09:24:42
Well it wasn’t a struggle. Usual performance from us on the artificial pitch against a parked bus.

18 Jan 2026 11:33:58
How you doing my friends.

Enrico hear that the Swiss guy from bundesliga will be signing. Also Enrico hear the Rak-Sakyi from palace.

Would also be good idea to sign guy we watch yesteday from Motherwell, he score a lot of goals you know.

18 Jan 2026 10:49:42
We are now being linked with Jonas Wind from Wolfsberg.
I have mentioned his name on here a few times in recent weeks as i feel he is someone we should be looking at.

Good goalscoring record in bundesliga and his previous club copenhagen (albeit has struggled this season)

A big powerful striker with 37 caps for denmark and still only 26.

Much like that mob signing skov olson, this is the type of player we should be targeting, proven quality at a very high level.

18 Jan 2026 11:37:25
Heard he's been out injured and since had surgery, he's not due back until the end of the month or scored all season?

18 Jan 2026 11:38:02
Is he not injured thought that was in the story I read.

18 Jan 2026 12:01:48
Would be a great signing if fit.

18 Jan 2026 15:09:23
He’ll likely get picked up by another team and just like that. Gone with the….

18 Jan 2026 20:00:02
DT,

I read about him earlier.

Wind and yer man from Motherwell would be a start, the giant Swiss lad at CB and Mulligan from Hibs.

17 Jan 2026 23:26:06
Looks like more dithering by the Celtic board has cost us the chance of signing of prolific Croatian striker Franko Kovacevic who has scored 25 goals in 28 games for Cetle in Slovenia this season, he has seemingly agreed to join Robbie Keane’s Ferencvaros for a bargain basement £2.6m, he would have been an excellent signing for Celtic 🤔🍀⚽️.

18 Jan 2026 09:31:54
How do you know we were really interested in him links mean nothing. I’m sure if we were wanting him he would have rather came to Celtic than ferancvarous. To many click bait links then melt downs when these 100 odd links go some were else.

18 Jan 2026 09:40:45
Its ok. Maybe Falkirk are good team and it's not that bad.

18 Jan 2026 13:23:43
How do you know we were not interested in him?

What we do know is Celtic are looking at the cheap option hence why MON was at Motherwell game.

A player that has had a purple patch for 6 months.

He may well be decent and time will tell.

18 Jan 2026 14:57:40
how do you know we were we have been linked with about 10 strikers mate everyone knows we need a striker reason why all these pages are creating stories on strikers for people to click and read then all off a sudden its not happening then we go into meltdown then another link then another.

17 Jan 2026 22:25:09
Maybe just maybe Falkirk are no
Bad, yip
Another team be not bad, who’d have thought it .

17 Jan 2026 22:49:24
Maybe weren’t as pish as flrst said, maybe Falkirk are hard to beat

Celtic, Celtic fans, time to put hearts in their place, I can’t wait til next week.

17 Jan 2026 20:27:15
Evening all,

As you know, we published our open letter to Brian Wilson on 6 January, clearly outlining what we were seeking to achieve. Brian Wilson responded to the Collective on 8 January, acknowledging the letter and echoing the call for unity. However, he did not propose a date or time to meet and discuss matters further.

The same day, we replied with three proposed dates for this week and asked him to confirm. To date, we have received no response. In the absence of any engagement, we therefore consider this an outright decline.

We will be sharing the overview below on social media this evening to keep everyone informed as we move towards discussing the next stages of the campaign.

After the removal of Wilfried Nancy and Paul Tisdale and the reappointment of Martin O’Neill, interim Chair Brian Wilson asked supporters to unite and push the team through the second half of the season.

Despite the anger and calls for a boycott, we agreed unity was in Celtic’s best interests. We contacted Wilson to arrange a meeting, on the understanding that mediation would be needed to unite supporters.

That offer has been ignored. Instead, Wilson has used his time this week to attack the Scottish Government as tired and visionless in a national newspaper.

At the same time, Martin O’Neill has been left managing expectations while admitting there has been no proper planning for the January window. Once again, Celtic have been caught short and are desperately failing to recruit the players required for the title race. More than a year after selling our star striker, we still have not replaced him.

To use Brian Wilson's language. the Celtic board is tired and visionless.

If Wilson wants unity, it requires action, accountability and reconciliation. Our manager must be supported in the transfer market, the Green Brigade must be brought back to the stadium to reinvigorate the matchday atmosphere, the fan media ban should be revoked and the interim Chair must be willing to engage with supporters to mend the disconnect that has grown this season. Only then will his calls for unity have any meaning.

Many thanks,

17 Jan 2026 22:29:54
Utter disgrace, not in the slightest surprised however. Anyone who thinks this Board is fit for purpose (other than DD) is deluded. Which begs the question, why is he allowing this s1t show to continue? Does he actually believe in the statement put out after BR walked/ was pushed?

17 Jan 2026 17:51:55
Reports suggesting we're about to miss out on shamrock rovers striker noonan German club have stole a march on us, how the feck dies that happen especially an Irish club surely we've a scout there.

17 Jan 2026 18:10:10
Especially when Desmond is part owner of both clubs, surely we should have a proper contracted affiliation to alway be in a position to get the next Keane, Duff, Given, Coleman etc. The board needs to look at the absolute basics of the scouting network in which we are miles behind that of our European Peers.

I do believe we will get it right this window but fear the summer will be excused once again.

17 Jan 2026 18:24:07
Celtic will only bring in one striker because we have already have Iheanacho, Maeda and Kenny.
The last thing we need is another Kenny from a poor league.

17 Jan 2026 19:26:22
Ffs who cares, a 17 year old from a dire league, to pump into a rubbishty B team 🤦🏻‍♂️ more things to worry about, weird on here sometimes.

17 Jan 2026 19:57:50
Buzzbomb,

Maeda is a winger, he should not be considered as a striker.

At any rate, MON is on record as saying he wants to sign two strikers.

17 Jan 2026 20:00:32
Mally,

I genuinley couldn't care less about Noonan - we have far bigger and more immediate issues than a striker who won't get a first team game for another 3 years.

17 Jan 2026 20:02:42
I hope so Pedro 👍.

17 Jan 2026 20:15:52
The point is maybe he's a player what the feck is weird about that, the point is we're going for the lad after hoffenheim so they've seen something in him.

17 Jan 2026 20:47:11
Me too Buzzbomb.

I'm going to go out on a very, very hopeful limb and say we'll sign;- the young Swiss CB currently playing in Germany, Maswanhise from Motherwell and the striker Kovacevic.

An added bonus would be signing both Bowie and Mulligan but to be fair, like oor Enrico, I've had a fair bit of the red grape juice this evening.

17 Jan 2026 20:52:45
See Kovacevic is off to Ferencvaros too. A mere £2.6m.

17 Jan 2026 22:36:41
Pedro my friend nothing wrong with couple glass of grape juice you know.

Enrico hope you are right with these signings.

Enrico sips more grape juice hoping for new guys to come in. 🍷.

18 Jan 2026 01:28:05
Noonan has serious potential.
He is already better than kenny, iheanacho, yamada and a far better finisher than maeda.
If we were interested what have we waited so long? A deal could have been struck for the boy 6-12months ago.

16 Jan 2026 18:59:33
Surely the rumour linking us with Joel Piroe of Leeds is nonsense, doesn't sit right with me that one, with the connection between the owners of Leeds and The Sevies. There needs a stop put to consortiums having interests in multiple top flight Clubs.

17 Jan 2026 07:53:48
He wants to stay and fight for his place.

17 Jan 2026 09:34:46
I want to be on a beach with the female Brazilian volleyball team but we don't always get what we want 😉.

17 Jan 2026 10:14:43
It just gets better and better.

17 Jan 2026 15:59:56
Its the same story in papers though. Everything sevvies do is amazing. They only tend to focus our stories on us losing out. I know our past attempts are not covered in glory but they do emphasise our supposed failures. This coming week is crucial and will define our season imo.

16 Jan 2026 18:56:53
Jason denayor is 30, not old for a cb, is he someone we could use, (I’m trying to ignore that he was once at us and put him in bracket of bringing someone back ) hypothetical question only he’s a free transfer.

16 Jan 2026 19:12:57
No chance! he's only played about 30 games in the past 3 and a half seasons!

16 Jan 2026 20:03:15
He's played approx 47 games in the past 3 seasons, probably still get a start in our first team.

17 Jan 2026 11:02:12
Denayer only looked good because he played alongside VVD. He was regularly out of position but thanks to Virgil’s ability/ pace, he was able to cover.

He’s done nothing since he left Celtic. Big no from me.
