Strong rumours that BR had fallout with Board over Owen Beck. Contact with Liverpool stalled and Klopp felt disrespected hence why he played him for a few mins in a game that was already in the bag. Probably a lot of mince but story I've seen blames baby L for it.
{Ed007's Note - Why would anyone from Celtic be talking to Klopp about signing a Liverpool player let alone disrespect him?}
1.) 30 Jan 2024 13:41:21
I smell sh@te.
2.) 30 Jan 2024 13:56:22
Was rather strange playing Beck now he's getting loaned back to Dundee after being recalled back ?.
{Ed007's Note - Both of Liverpool's LBs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas were injured so it was either Beck or Luke Chambers - who is on loan at Wigan that - were being recalled and it was felt Beck had been performing better at Dundee so they chose him.
There was never any chance of Celtic - or anyone else - buying Beck during this window.}
3.) 30 Jan 2024 14:15:57
Beck isn't at celtic because we wanted to use him as a back up and dundee are going to play him week in week out.
4.) 30 Jan 2024 14:42:54
Robertson is back playing and tsimikas is fit. i don't think we were ever interested.
5.) 30 Jan 2024 17:20:13
This rumour may be wide of the mark, but I'm certain BR will not have long to wait to look for excuses to have a fall-out with our Board.
6.) 30 Jan 2024 18:27:06
OAB the board are to blame for all our failings. I detest them at the moment.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 09:22:51
Join the queue Ken, they are always our biggest threat. I feckin detest every single one of them. Every year at the AGM they get an easy ride by the happy clapping, Lawell&s a good businessman, deluded. We lose this league they should be slaughtered. Their team ncompetence is off the charts and they do more harm to us than any feckin Sevconian ever has or ever will.
31 May 2023 19:38:27
Seems more than a rumour this time. Hopefully Ange decides against it as it seems they want him. If he goes we will be gutted but can we really blame him? I will hold no grudge at all, he will leave with head held high, probably 5 trophies in the bag and a strong squad. And the chance to manage a team with potential to truly compete in CL with a 4 or 5 fold increase in salary might be hard to resist. We are a club like no other though, and big man gets it so u never can tell. ??.
1.) 31 May 2023 19:45:14
The writing is on the wall I'm afraid ? but he'll be leaving us in a far stronger position than he found us. I wish him all the best if he does go. Our club will always go onwards and upwards.
2.) 01 Jun 2023 00:56:03
Back in February, the man himself said that “people will be surprised” how long he stays with us.
Things can change but hopefully he meant that and the new contract will be announced on Saturday night.
3.) 01 Jun 2023 07:53:03
I’m a bit unsure how I feel about this to be honest, on one hand he can go, treble his wages, play in a much better league with possibly the best stadium and training ground in Europe.
On the other after making comments about the press being surprised how long he will be with us, job to do in Europe and only started his project with us, is there much difference between him and Rogers? First opportunity to go when a big club comes in he’s off?
Like I said, a bit split on this .
4.) 01 Jun 2023 12:43:33
Quinn I think Tottenham are significantly better team long term than Leicester and at the same point we weren't sold by Ange "he was the biggest Celtic fan ever".
In saying that he'll be with technically a regular top 6 team. Probably have in excess of £150 transfer budget a team where there are players that can play his brand of attacking football. The only downside is Tottenham would sack you in minutes and at the same point Levy seems as though he interferes to much. Will Ange want that risk? Again once your in that money league the gems of players he has found who would cost £10 million will be closer to 30-40 his budget will go down quicker than expected.
What ever he chooses as long as he gets that treble I wish him all the best. He's left us in a stronger position and a team that will get stronger than any manager I can recall. I hope he stays.
5.) 01 Jun 2023 14:18:57
Spurs ate a basket case with tyrant at the helm, kane wants out and they've no chance of competing with city utd or Liverpool who will spend big then thers chelsea who have a decent manager now, nice stadium right enough.
6.) 01 Jun 2023 15:12:07
Quinn, there's a staggering difference between this and Rodgers. If he wins a Treble and leaves with us already qualified for the CL, we'll be one of the most attractive jobs in Europe this summer. For me, if Ange does go, I'd be hoping for somebody with a track record of getting results in Europe.
7.) 01 Jun 2023 17:26:49
And who knows if its the first chance to jump. I doubt that and he has not gone mid season when title and cup were still to be won - like BR. Absolutely gutted if/ when he goes but 100% no hard feelings. He came, conquered, bought into the club but unfortunately the draw of playing Man City and Arsenal et Al is more attractive than Ross County and Motherwell, especially on the back of a treble. Can he do much more with us? Not really, possible CL qualification to knock out at a stretch. Is that enough for Ange, doubt it.
8.) 01 Jun 2023 19:56:15
Folks - If Ange leaves we will have a few issues sure we are in a better place than we were when he came in . However would we them get a new manager that plays the way this team have been customised to play?
Would we still be shopping in the Asian market or move to a more European market place?
But that’s all irrelevant because .
ANGE IS GOING NOWHERE ?????.
9.) 01 Jun 2023 23:12:18
Feck me. Can we stop with the eulogies?
10.) 01 Jun 2023 23:22:30
Part of the rumours are true . The part that says Ange is leaving, he will leave some time hopefully, not for 3 or 4 seasons .
Most of us will be sad to see Ange go, he will be badly missed . However we have one consolation before Ange we won 51 League Titles 40 Scottish Cup and
20 League Cups . Before and during Ange’s time we have never been as successful, after Ange eventually leaves we will continue to be successful.
25 Aug 2022 12:29:29
Signing will be announced today, guaranteed.
{Ed007's Note - Sead Haksabanovic, 5-year deal.}
1.) 25 Aug 2022 13:04:29
He’s signed, brilliant, here’s me worrying he might have failed his medical, welcome to our club Sead.
{Ed007's Note - ?
2.) 25 Aug 2022 13:07:57
I thought a loan to buy was the option.
{Ed007's Note - I thought it was going to be a loan with an obligation to buy to help ease the "difficulties with financial transactions" that originally scuppered the deal but I do have a theory.... ?
Could it be that the difficulties would be with any transfer fee paid by the usual by instalments - who knows what the situation will be in a year's time, it could be better or it could be worse - and €2million is the highest we would go with a one-off payment?}
3.) 25 Aug 2022 13:10:20
Bang on the money @ed007.
Hope he shines. 5 years ooft well done him.
Heard he's fit and rerin to go.
Mikey j next
Julian is off
Ajeti next
Forrest not sure what he can improve. So we wait and see.
{Ed007's Note - ?
4.) 25 Aug 2022 13:20:20
And not a loan but a knocked down price due to Ruben being skint.
5.) 25 Aug 2022 13:27:08
@ The Poet apparently the delay was caused by the proper paperwork not being delivered on time due to striking postmen.
6.) 25 Aug 2022 13:35:05
Sounds like a deal was going one way then boom it all changed direction.
Cant wait to see what he can do.
7.) 25 Aug 2022 13:40:26
Afternoon All
The Daily Ranger as we all know always try and put negative spin on anything to do with our football club.
Recently including today. There negative spin re transfer fee for Haksabanovic instead of reporting it's a transfer coup at the fee we paid they report it's a low fee and his value has plummeted.
Nothing to do with Ruban Kazan financial troubles.
I'm over moon that we have signed a £5m / £6m player for the fee we are paying.
Excellent piece of business imo.
?.
8.) 25 Aug 2022 13:48:35
The board would have known about strike tomorrow, got paperwork next day delivery, taken the lid off the biscuit tin to pay for it, because that costs a bit more, maybe they were secretly hoping they would have been knocked out last night, double whammy.
9.) 25 Aug 2022 13:58:57
The Poet.
How can you possibly say that the board have taken lid of biscuit tin to pay for Haksabanovic?
Ange (right and proper) has been backed in transfer windows since he has become our manager.
At least give them credit when it's due?
?.
{Ed007's Note - I think he meant taking the lid off the biscuit tin to pay the postage, Brian.}
10.) 25 Aug 2022 14:00:46
Think that one slipped by timalloy HH.
11.) 25 Aug 2022 14:07:22
Thats another one in could there be one more?
12.) 25 Aug 2022 14:18:48
It was just a joke about biscuits, the board have backed the manager a 100%, the difference from boards in the past compared to now is like comparing old clubs to new clubs, completely different, if I was to think like old board I’d be saying who are we selling.
13.) 25 Aug 2022 14:20:44
Thats a great price ed everyone and their granny saying he's a right good player.
{Ed007's Note - ?
14.) 25 Aug 2022 14:31:56
I heard there is going to be 1 or 2 more deadline day signings once MJ, Ajeti n Forrest deals are sorted out.
{Ed007's Note - I think anyone expecting Forrest to go anywhere are going to be massively disappointed. Do you think the Club would have given him - or Forrest accepted - a 3-year deal in May (only three months ago) if they were planning on him going out on loan?
At the time Ange said:
"James is my kind of player and has that attacking intent that can open up defences to make goals, not only for himself, but for others as well.
He’s been a great servant to the football club thanks to his brilliant quality and attributes, and those have made him a proven contributor to the club’s success – you only have to look at his medal collection to see that.
I know we will get more of this from him next season and beyond, and I’m delighted that this deal has been finalised."
15.) 25 Aug 2022 15:22:21
While I think this will turn out to be a great signing my only reservation is, player has not played much football either in Russia or Sweden so he may take time to get up to speed.
@Jic you should know by now how I joke about things, re the Postmen we all know these transfers are done electronically these days and
@ The Poet I knew what you meant with the biscuit tin reference
Oh and by the way, I hope you all get a decent pay rise, but I would not count on it coming by POST lol.
16.) 25 Aug 2022 15:30:22
Great signing, will definitely add even more quality to our forward line. I can’t help but see the possible
Irony in this signing though, I read a good report the other day on how it’s predicted that ange likes to plan well in advance for future player sales, hatate and o’riley brought in on January to offset the departures of rogic and bitton, Jenz for jullien as examples.
Absolutely love jota, like most of us I’ll enjoy him while he’s here and dismiss all notion of the exit talk and rumours but if he carries on the way he’s started this season then it’s likely we will receive an offer the club or player can’t refuse, I can’t help but think haksabanovic is his ready made replacement in waiting when that time comes.
Like I said though, exit talk is for another time and hopefully this group of players can stay for another few seasons at least.
17.) 25 Aug 2022 15:52:36
Timalloy, thanks for your support.
18.) 25 Aug 2022 16:38:50
we have to keep hold of Forrest for the champions league squad numbers. Him, CalMac, Welsh and Ralston are our only home grown players.
19.) 25 Aug 2022 17:30:03
It doesn't take long to get up to speed the same thing happened with jenz and was straight in.
20.) 25 Aug 2022 18:12:02
I think we held up announcing his deal was to take a shine off of sevco beating psv last night so there was a feel good story about us in the paper too. Maybe I am just a synical guy I don't know but that's my thoughts.
21.) 25 Aug 2022 22:32:40
Can Turnbull not be in there brumbhoy or do they have to be from academy .
22.) 26 Aug 2022 08:45:46
Like his final ball, Forrest is going nowhere.
23.) 26 Aug 2022 10:40:52
Pretty surprised so many people have an issue with Forrest staying. A one club man who has contributed to every success the club has had in the last 13 odd years. I don't doubt there were times he could have left to chase the money when he was younger and never took that path. Loyalty in football these days is hard to come by and he's been an exemplary professional throughout bi's career, the exact type of player any fan should be happy to have at their club.
And Tim, Turnbull counts towards our 'Association Trained' players but 'Homegrown' refers to academy graduates.
24.) 26 Aug 2022 11:01:40
Well said rdb21, Jamesie has been a great servant for CFC, he has set up many goals and scored a few important ones too, I for 1 was happy he got his new contract, HH.
20 Jan 2022 09:16:28
Seems to have gone quiet on the CCV and Jota front. Read somewhere that Jota might not be as keen as Celtic to do the deal. Anyone heard anything similar or better still, to the contarary?
1.) 20 Jan 2022 09:55:35
Celtic can wait until the end of the season and use the CL group stage money, that will be coming our way.
14 Jan 2020 23:34:50
have you heard of we are actually interested in Tyrese Campbell. If we are and they have already made a bid that would be a sign of intent and "one upmanship " if we got him. No idea if he is good enough admittedly.
1.) 14 Jan 2020 23:57:45
That's how we ended up with Allan and Morgan.
2.) 15 Jan 2020 07:52:13
And Scott Brown😉.
3.) 15 Jan 2020 09:50:18
And glen loovens.

With Maeda out of the Derby I'd be inclined to play Forrest. He still has more pace than most and whilst not great last time he started against them I think he can still do a shift and isn't scared to track back. I'm not concerned at all at losing Maeda as we have a very strong midfield and whoever plays out wide will only be up against a pair of donkeys!
1.) 18 Apr 2024 17:46:01
Maeda will be a big loss all over the pitch and they are scared of his pace and tenacity. Forrest has plenty experience of the fixture that the others do not and I agree could do a job for 60 odd mins.
2.) 18 Apr 2024 20:18:54
Statistically Palma is our best winger so apart from work rate and pace he could offer more?
3.) 18 Apr 2024 20:31:41
Chinks no offense but that's a silly comment. Maeda is essential against Rangers otherwise Tav has a field day and as much as you say he's a donkey, his delivery is fantastic and he's a real threat going forward if he's not put under pressure and pushed back.
4.) 18 Apr 2024 23:02:26
I would like to see us play a more 4-4-1-1 with Iwata, Calmac, MO'R and Hatate in midfield with Kyogo playing just behing Idah up front.
There defence has never been able to handle the big strong forward type like GG or Idah
We could then bring Kuhn, Palma or Forrest when the game was won.
5.) 19 Apr 2024 05:51:38
Palma should play, he lost a bit form when he no comp for his place, hopefully he sees opportunity to get his place back, palma was decent against top teams lw in cl, I don’t see any need for anyone else,
6.) 19 Apr 2024 14:16:55
Everyone has their own likes, but I hate like he’ll discussing a match that is somewhat down the line when we have a cup match that has some importance and 2 league matches both of them vital importance. Our record against the Sevco this season compares well in comparison with many other SPL teams, surely we shouldn’t be putting that game on a higher pedestal than others . We can win all the games we have left, or we can draw / lose against any of the teams left.
15 Apr 2024 20:35:02
If we play Sevco 2nd game (which seems most likely) and win we will be at least 4 points ahead if we win the 1st post split fixture. That would allow us to lose one of the remaining 3 games and still be champions. Beating them pretty much seals the deal. As BR said, "bite down on that gumshield", bring on the fight!
1.) 16 Apr 2024 01:04:05
The Glasgow Derby will definitely be in the first 2 weeks because there’s a chance Celtic could win the league against Sevco if it’s played in the 3rd week.
( if Sevco lose again before then )
The Police will demand it’s scheduled for the 1st or 2nd week.
I reckon Celtic will play on the Wednesday night in the second last match of the season because if Celtic win our next 4 league matches, we will definitely win the league.
Sky will make sure Celtic play on the Wednesday because they won’t want Celtic winning the league before Sevco play their 2nd last match.
That will mean that Celtic will also play on Sunday May 12th because I reckon we will be playing on the Wednesday, a few days later.
Sky will have Sevco Saturday and then Tuesday,
Then Celtic on the Sunday and Wednesday to put maximum pressure on Celtic because we’re playing second each time.
Surely then the SPFL will have Celtic playing first in the remaining other league match, played in week 1 or week 2.
( We kickoff at the same time in the Derby game and last match of the season )
14 Apr 2024 10:22:29
Mind at the start of the season Turnbull was preferred to Hatate! Bonkers.
13 Apr 2024 17:05:12
Good victory in blustery conditions. Rocky done well and AJ was very good. None of our wingers convince and Kuhn and Yang and no better than Forrest or even Mickey! Great to see Hatate getting a goal, he is going to be a big player for us over the last 5 games.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 17:29:18
Regards our wingers Chinks, I agree, not in the same class as Jota or Jamsie at his best. We surely cannot go into European competition with these guys. They will not cut it at basic European level never mind the big guns. We need to spend this summer. We all love great wing play but for that to happen we need great wingers.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 17:48:15
AJ is currently the most consistent wide player in the side IMO. Our available wingers are still not quite on the money with Khun and Yang not creating enough and losing possession too often. Palma is also still to convince me although once again James Forrest did very well for the short time he was on and can still do a job. I also thought Welsh did well when he came on for Nawrocki and CCV was immense once again. Some great performances all over the pitch today against a very well organized and tough opponent. Well done Celts.
3.) 13 Apr 2024 17:49:45
Have to disagree Chinks re the wingers. Yang, in any other season, would have had far fewer minutes and has done well.
Kuhn for me is starting to come onto a game.
☘️ ? ☘️.
4.) 13 Apr 2024 18:02:42
Someone explain the 6th sub allowed to be used that baffled me ?.
5.) 13 Apr 2024 18:50:10
St mirren made a concussion sub at half time by sounds of it. That then means both teams get an extra substitution. Totally baffled at the game though!
6.) 13 Apr 2024 19:04:51
Nawrocki was a head injury Turner.
7.) 13 Apr 2024 20:52:24
Cheers was confusing I could only think during game yang getting a hot knock, is it true if player gets removed from field of play with concussion they have to automatically miss next two weeks?
08 Apr 2024 14:20:47
I agree Scales isn't brilliant but I'm not sure Rocki or Lager are any better. Yesterday he was not to blame for any of their goals. AJ was unlucky at pen but he was badly at fault for their 3rd in the build up. I think we need an upgrade at RB and a new CH to play with CCV. We are terrible at seeing out a game and have thrown away loads of points in the final few mins of games, games we were totally in control of. Is it stamina or lack of concentration.
1.) 08 Apr 2024 14:26:35
Hopefully it's been because injuries and stop start season but ccv has been poor also.
2.) 08 Apr 2024 15:23:50
A few of our fans reckon CCV has been poor this season but I disagree.
I think he’s been good when he’s actually played.
Maybe not to his brilliant best when he’s 100% fit but he’s definitely not been poor.
Celtic have still looked a better team this season with CCV in the team.
3.) 08 Apr 2024 15:27:24
Scales was brutal yesterday and only plays because he's left sided. I'd play nawrocki as we had starfelt who was right sided. yang was poor when he came on as was mcgregor. at the pen watch thexreaction of the sevconians directly behind the incident not one appealed for it says it all really.
4.) 08 Apr 2024 16:06:42
Some people used to slate Starfelt, but he is miles better than Scales, Nawrocki or Lagerbielke. We need an upgrade at CB to play alongside CCV. We also need a ball winning CDM with a bit of steel and strength as we are powder puff in midfield.
5.) 08 Apr 2024 16:06:51
Buzz if not at his best that means he's been worse than his best so poorer? ,
6.) 08 Apr 2024 18:17:28
Poor would mean like Duffy, Hendry Etc.
A “poorer” CCV would still be a good Celtic CB over the last decade.
7.) 08 Apr 2024 19:41:52
Need to cut CCV some slack as AJ and Scales have struggled for months now. CCV and Taylor are our only good defenders.
I feel Scales is just ahead of Welsh . Unfortunately, we can’t pick Rocki or Lager as they are not at it.
So Scale it is. I don’t think Rodgers rates Ralston, so we are left with AJ as well. So we are left with 2 out of 4 being good defenders, with not a lot of cover at the back. Yang and Palms don’t offer much defensively either. In tight games we will be up against it.
All in all we are struggling ar the back, but as we seen a couple of months back, we are worse without CCV and Taylor.
8.) 08 Apr 2024 20:19:34
I have to disagree. Scales has been decent. Maybe not the kind of player we need to take us forward in Europe but I don't think he's been found wanting this season.
The 1st Glasgow derby he was fantastic.
9.) 09 Apr 2024 12:51:01
Scales and Taylor are often blamed for losing match even before game starts, both of them give it all and what they lack in skill and ability they try to make up in effort . Many teams target their side of defence without getting real results. Sevco goals on Sunday came from right hand side of defence.
18 Jan 2024 22:50:20
Hi is a Player.
29 Sep 2023 18:52:58
Fantastic news, when he plays we play. Best midfielder in the country when he is on it. I think this will kick start his season. HH.
27 Aug 2023 22:05:45
just heard same story from someone who added Rogers told £x available to bring players in and he is now getting £y. He won't accept being the scapegoat.
{Ed007's Note - Phone him back and tell him I said he"s a liar and just making stuff up. Was it the same guy that told me David de Gea would be in goal for us at Ibrox?
26 Aug 2023 11:48:32
100%, he was ahead of CCV for Spurs and would cruise it in our league.
22 Aug 2023 09:19:50
Out of adversity comes opportunity.
16 Apr 2024 19:34:37
Win the first 3 games and the Killie surface will be immaterial.
23 Mar 2024 13:18:48
Regardless of opposition his 2nd goal showed great composure and technique. Surely worthy of some minutes ahead of Oh.
17 Feb 2024 18:05:49
Mally, totally agree. Bernie was winger and it shows.
13 Feb 2024 21:42:23
That's what happened caused PL messed about and allowed the situation to develop. a major cause of a rift between BR and him. McGinn got fed up waiting on us.
12 Feb 2024 22:02:29
Great Post DT. Palma could plY role similar to Rogic who didn't have any pace either. Is Abada being influenced by his partner? For me whatever is behind it his race is run.
