Hearing Rodger's will be signing a new 3 year deal before we are away for the summer break?
It was mentioned earlier in the season. Assume that's being tied up now?
28 Jan 2025 21:48:05
Surely KT will sign in January if Valle is officially back at Barca.
I assume it's all just a front to announce him in the last day of the window.
1.) 29 Jan 2025 09:33:29
Not really, he is on the bench for Arsenal these days, depends on whether they sign another left back or not for cover. They won’t be rushed, £1m or therabouts might tempt a Scottish club to sell instead of losing a player for nothing, but that sort of fee is a drop in the ocean to Arsenal.
2.) 29 Jan 2025 10:49:13
Could be as simple as Arteta is an ex current.
23 Jan 2025 18:05:38
I reckon we will sign the Kvistgarden boy to replace Kyogo.
1.) 23 Jan 2025 18:26:29
Would hope that a replacement is announced before or soon after Kyogo’s departure.
2.) 23 Jan 2025 18:49:09
I think the original plan was Louie Barry but Aston Villa plying hard ball.
12 Jul 2024 18:15:13
€5m for Oh with add ons! Well done Whoever got that deal through ?.
1.) 12 Jul 2024 21:35:45
Get that and bid for miovski. As well as Idah.
2.) 12 Jul 2024 21:51:40
KenLikeEh,
where have you seen this?
☘️ ? ☘️.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 10:39:49
I really like Oh and will be sad to see him go, I will wish him all the best and think he will go on and have good career.
26 Jun 2024 14:13:10
Haksabanovic offski for €3m officially.
Well done to the CEO etc for getting anything for him at all!
1.) 26 Jun 2024 16:02:51
Hopefully this will be the start of getting the players that are not part of Brendan Rodgers plans, it was mentioned on these pages a while ago that there were about 18 players who Celtic could move on, but it is not always a easy thing to do if the player is getting a good wage, without contributing anything as a player to the 1st team squad.
2.) 26 Jun 2024 18:46:50
First of many out the door that’s needed, still a long way to go though there’s about another 10 on the books that could be classed as deadwood.
3.) 27 Jun 2024 16:17:27
I agree the clear-out was very important to reduce the squad, get rid of players who are not in the managers plans and raising extra funds. The real test for the Board will be to bring in better quality than we have and improve the team for Europe and domestic dominance.

Hello All!
Don't know about you but I feel missing out on Lennon Miller will see us missing out on the brightest Scottish prospect since McGinn and Lewis Ferguson. Must sign for me.
I'd look at bringing in Calvin Ramsey and potentially the boy Bjorkan from Bodo?
1.) 09 May 2025 21:10:09
We won’t miss out on Lennon Miller. If we don’t sign him it’s because BR doesn’t want him . As Brian Clough would say if he was still around “ 4 million wouldn’t buy him and i aren’t one of them .
Sometimes a player can look great among average players and not great amongst good players and I think Lennon could be one of them .
Some posters say we should sign him and immediately loan him back to Motherwell, I would be completely against that, we aren’t Man City or Chelsea. If we haven’t use for him don’t spend this years transfer money on him.
{Ed007's Note - Lennon Miller is 18-years old, the decision to sign him should be down to a DOF with a long term plan, not a manager that might not be here next summer. He is by far the best youngster playing in Scotland right now and if Celtic aren't trying to sign him it's a massive dereliction of duty by our footballing department.}
2.) 09 May 2025 21:56:38
It won't cost the earth to lure him from Motherwell so it's a no brainer for me.
3.) 10 May 2025 14:31:09
If we sign him, I hope you are right, I haven’t seen enough to get completely excited about, that’s probably down to me rather than L M lacking in ability.
For all our most successful periods in our History we seem to operate very well without a D O F . Wealthy clubs in the top 5 leagues seem to operate with a number of Directors relating to Football, and most of these clubs are not reaching the standards their fans demand .
I see the benefits of a Director of Football, but I also believe if in the football world it was thought that a Director of Football was doing a very good job at Celtic, he would be swept away in next to no time . We just couldn’t hold on to him.
{Ed007's Note - I've never heard of any club with more than one DOF.}
4.) 11 May 2025 13:25:05
One example of a club with multi - Directors of Football related matters is Manchester United . They have sporting Directors overseeing technical and sporting aspects including recruitment strategy and development. These Dir. include D Ashworth and J Wilcox
Director of Football Operations is David Hornison
Other Directors Avron Glazer and Joel Glazer whose responsibilities include football related activities.
CEO Omer Berrada and his responsibilities also include football related matters
I wouldn’t be surprised if some or even many of these people have left Manchester United, but they will either have replaced already or the club is still trying to bring their replacements in.
{Ed007's Note - Jason Wilcox is Man Utd's Technical Director, that's just another name for DOF or Sporting Director, that's it. Ashworth left the role after only being in it a matter of months and Wilcox took over.
As I said I have never heard of ANY club in the world to use 2 DOF or 2 people doing that job with any other title, never.}

Taylor signing a new deal is great news.
A player with 200+ appearances won countless trophies. A great player for us.
If he plays understudy to Tierney (injuries? ) is that bad business. I think that's the best business we can do. How much would Taylor cost in reality? 5-6m?
He's solid. A Scottish player with leadership qualities. Important player to have around the dressing room. Remember, He's held that position for 6 years since Tierney left. A true professional that would be missed within 6 months of him leaving.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 02:03:32
Great signing!
2.) 20 Apr 2025 06:36:41
Agreed. He gets a lot of abuse from some of our fans and while he does have his limitations, I think he is generally a solid performer for us, especially in the SPFL.
Glad he signed a new deal with us, as he is at his peak years and it means we don't need to spend on another left back and it also helps us with our quota of home grown players.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 08:22:24
KenLikeEh
100%.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 10:12:52
Was never in Doubt - GT will be one of the most decorated players in Celtic History - Could be 12 trophy’s by end of this season, probably 4 or 5 seasons left in him within a squad rotation system. Each of these those trophies are post 2019 aswell.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 12:49:06
G T is the type of player we need to keep . He is dedicated to give his best to Celtic . He looks as if he would go through a brick wall for Celtic . I M O he seems to follow exactly the tactics set out by our manager for him to play, which isn’t normal or traditional left back tactics or positional play.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 14:20:56
Glad to hear about GT. He has his detractors but he's served the club well imo.
06 Feb 2025 18:13:57
Arne Engels, 21 years old.
9 Goals
10 Assists
1st season in a Celtic strip and many games to go.
Another who was written off. The potential in this guy is insane. going to be a great player.
1.) 06 Feb 2025 19:15:22
I'm not sure he was written off tbh but he was heavily criticised for his performance levels recently. He gets a rough ride due to the price tag and I don't think that will change sadly. He's really growing into the player we hoped he would be.
2.) 06 Feb 2025 20:50:15
He was written off Kev, just like Idha was after about 6 games as the there will always be supporters that start calling players duds after three games or the first time they make a mistake during a game.
3.) 06 Feb 2025 21:13:48
Celtic fans write off a player for one bad mistake! It happens with every player. The worst example was Starfelt n he was great for us in the end.
I’d take him back over Trusty any day of the week.
03 Feb 2025 18:36:15
Mentioned Ings the other day n thought it would be a possibility.
Anyways, am I the only one that thinks Ings n Schllup could do a turn for us to act as cover/ rotation.
Agree the board have once again had zero foresight and are back peddling and weakening the squad. However, I do think they will do a turn for us over the next 6 months.
1.) 03 Feb 2025 19:03:44
A think schlupp is a great signing amd ad take danny ings straight swap for cummimgs obv ings on loan. And a have a sneaky feeling tierney is coming the nihht aswell.
2.) 03 Feb 2025 19:09:10
I am happy to wait and see before passing comment as they both could prove Go signings. My only concern is will they be suited to a high intensity pressing?
{Ed007's Note - Ings is on the bench for West Ham tonight so hopefully that puts that terrifying rumour to bed.}
3.) 03 Feb 2025 19:17:34
Ings has an average of 6.8 goals per season since he left Burnley 10 year ago.
4.) 03 Feb 2025 19:32:24
Ings is well past his best but we have two strikers (Cummings and Kenny) that Rodgers is reluctant to play, so why not use one of them in part exchange for a decent striker.
5.) 03 Feb 2025 19:46:42
Or give them a chance?
{Ed007's Note - Is there really much difference between the Irish League teams and teams like Ross County, Dundee, Killie etc? If Kenny was scoring goals over there - and in Europe - I don't doubt he could do a job for us in certain games.
I'd be more than happy for Kenny to be given a chance as our 3rd choice striker.}
6.) 03 Feb 2025 20:38:47
The bits I have watched of Kenny, he looked like a good player who would get goals for us.
{Ed007's Note - ????
28 Jan 2025 12:45:19
Had a wee look at that Kvistgardden boy. I assume that's who we are holding out for.
I know his stats aren't great but might be a bit of a late bloomer. Some of his goals are belter. It's the transfer fee putting me off when we know he likely won't get up to speed until next season.
What about a loan deal for a Calum Wilson or Danny Ings type player?
1.) 28 Jan 2025 14:06:01
Kent, I honestly don’t care about the transfer fee . If by some mysterious means we happen to pay too much for a player and I don’t think £10-12m is excessive for a striker we expect to do well for us . we can be certain our Board will manage to get an extra few million for someone we are selling .
Relax our Board will not put club into financial risk.
2.) 28 Jan 2025 14:40:56
Ken he's 23 yrs of age in April ?
☘️ ? ☘️.
3.) 28 Jan 2025 15:36:46
Wilson is never off the treatment table and ings is past it.
4.) 28 Jan 2025 18:46:47
My exact point Pedro, A late bloomer!
£11m I’m not so sure we will pay that Dez.
Both would do a job for us Mally!
20 Apr 2025 00:11:21
Taylor is a quality player. If he improved defensively he’d be top class.
05 Feb 2025 18:37:27
Still wondering why McGregors getting a game the now. Absolutely pants. Id like to see us change it up in the midfield.
23 Jan 2025 18:49:09
I think the original plan was Louie Barry but Aston Villa plying hard ball.
14 Jan 2025 12:29:35
Would be a coup for the club. He’s very highly rated.
13 Jan 2025 19:02:07
Me either Mally I’d have neither!
Not Celtic class. I would like to see us go in for Watson or Lennon Miller though.
21 Apr 2025 14:37:06
I’m not trying to be negative but Schmechels Injury might be a blessing in disguise.
Only gives Sinasalo the opportunity to progress and develop. Hopefully he becomes our new number one for years to come.
20 Apr 2025 00:12:45
Think he was a good player for us.
On top of the above comments he was quite the MMA fighter. Liked a flying leg now and again.
10 Apr 2025 20:21:31
Oh I suppose one good game in 10 justifies playing every minute of every game.
10 Apr 2025 09:56:35
I think McGregor should be the one midfielder that gets a rest. Been awful for the best part of the season.
Was brilliant first 3 months but only regressed since.
He’s only going to get worse from here too.
14 Feb 2025 13:40:44
The first goal was outstanding but there was an element of luck! The player got the break of the ball and had enough class to finish it. Taylor can’t help the fact the ball bounced perfectly for the Bayern player to take it on.
