Being reported that Dane Murray is about to go on loan with Queen's Park. Thought he would potential go on loan in the SPL. Callum Davidson is a good manager and they do have a good young team. Glad he's going out and getting game time as he has shown a lot of potential before the injury.
1.) 08 Aug 2024 19:35:12
Any of them regarded high enough need to be offered this pathway, they need to be playing as high a level on loan as they can, better than wasting time in B team.
2.) 08 Aug 2024 20:00:27
Good move and hopefully the lad stays fit there's a celtic player in there.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 20:01:15
Now I agree the lowland league is poor but whatever team we put out should have the quality and the leadership to beat most of what's there. Its the coaching set up and development plan that worries me at that level. I can't believe that on a national or uk level tne best we can fimd are all our ex players.
4.) 08 Aug 2024 20:10:32
100% Turner. Regular playing time at as high a level as possible. The lowland league serves a purpose but hopefully our more talented youth start getting more loans.
5.) 08 Aug 2024 23:50:10
Hopefully he gets a massive acceleration playing in the Championship regularly, otherwise we should be cutting ties. 21 now, should be capable of playing for us against weaker opposition if he had that much about him.
6.) 09 Aug 2024 05:07:39
He's been. injured for nearly 2 years.
01 Aug 2024 21:08:13
Ed do you or Ed 002 know if there is any validity in the rumours that Celtic are looking into Hannibal Mejbri? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Hannibal Mejbri (AM/W) Will be available. Rangers want a loan - Manchester United want a sale. Celtic and Hertha have both enquired with his agent.}
1.) 02 Aug 2024 10:43:50
He's a walking yellow card.
2.) 02 Aug 2024 11:43:31
Excellent we are looking at more development players who play in a position we don't need to strengthen.
What is our recruitment team doing?
3.) 02 Aug 2024 11:50:55
Better than a walking red card DC. A talented player with a very high work rate. Would do well in our team.
4.) 02 Aug 2024 13:27:18
Rumour that Southampton are preparing a player exchange for MOR with Shea Charles as bait. Hope board tell the to get lost.
5.) 02 Aug 2024 13:42:39
Hey my friends Enrico wonder if there’s any substance in the Hungarian player Gazdag he catch Enricos eye at euros you know.
6.) 02 Aug 2024 11:44:19
Ed002 sorry to jump in on this. have you heard anything about Balikwisha?
{Ed002's Note - Michel-Ange Balikwisha (LW) Versatile Royal Antwerp player of interest to Celtic and Hull. Celtic will push but try and negotiate the fee down.}
7.) 02 Aug 2024 15:05:35
He probably be a walking red for us sosbhoy. He is a talented player but very wreckless.
26 Jul 2023 21:28:06
I was reading an article from a Dutch journalist talking about the Volendam centre-back Xavier Mbuyamba's potential transfer. It says in the article that if we do not go after Mbuyamba that we will look to AZ Alkmaar defender Pantelis Hatzidiakos. Thought it would be worth a mention as it was a name I hadn't heard of.
1.) 27 Jul 2023 07:03:23
He's another good CB sosBhoy but I don't think we need another unless we move on scales, Welsh and Kobayashi. Iwata can cover there too. That's my thoughts anyway ?.
26 Apr 2023 18:22:39
Seen a leaked image of the potential new home kit. I don't wear football tops but it looks retro AF. Like the kits of the Olden days.
1.) 27 Apr 2023 14:14:00
Yeah, I think they are trying to hark back to the days before commercialism. I quite like it to be honest, but will depend on the Dafabet logo.
2.) 27 Apr 2023 15:18:30
I like it looks retro But I don't like the badge It looks faded and washed out.
20 Jan 2023 22:34:36
Juranovic to Union Berlin? Seems like a weird move. It's not the step up I thought he would leave us for. Good league and decent team but not exactly inspiring.
1.) 21 Jan 2023 00:09:51
If he's leaving Celtic then we don't need to be too concerned about his future progression. If the fee is right (£7.5m + add ons) then that's not bad business for us. I had hoped he would go for much more but as Ed007 mentioned before, there may be contractual clauses that give him the upper hand in the deal. If the move happens I wish him well. HH.
2.) 21 Jan 2023 11:14:31
Good business. AJ has shown already he's more accomplished in the inverted FB Angeball role and is quicker and likes a tackle. He'll be a much more consistent player than JJ, who really only had a few excellent games for us. The rest were decent or poor.

With the new Champions League format and group games running until the 29th of January . Would it be safe to assume that no new signings in January could be added to the CL squad until the next phase of the tournament?
1.) 31 Aug 2024 15:09:33
Surely when they came up with the new format, it was built into the planning that a transfer window would happen during it.
Probably a clause that only the top 5 league participants can buy new players in January who can be added to their CL squads, just in case they aren't top of their relevant tables.
Not that I am saying they are all cheats. ?.
25 Aug 2024 15:49:37
Just watched Brendan's after match presser. We really are fortunate to have such an excellent manager and Celtic man at the helm.
Speaking of what the fans deserve for their continued support of the club even when the stadium was closed for Covid. Saying that the last 3 windows haven't been good enough and that it is something internally that will need to be addressed once the window closes.
There is no shying away. Facing every issue head on and addressing that there are problems without adding to them. And he does all this in a relaxed and jovial manner.
Sure he is tactically putting pressure on the board to get their fingers out their **** by using examples of fan loyalty but he only wants our club to develop and succeed as every supporter of our beloved club does.
Here's hoping that the club deliver in the coming days and give BR and the team the tools we need to succeed at the next level.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 17:02:59
Spot on SoSBhoy.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 18:20:27
Should be an interesting week ahead, let's hope we get in the quality players we the supporters and manager wants.
22 Aug 2024 22:12:01
Personally I will be disappointed if we sell Kyogo. I would be glad to see Kyogo and Idah as our strikers for the next 3 / 4 years. His movements is world class. To have the option to play 2 contrasting but extremely talented players makes us a better team. He is not an easy player to replace and gives us another dimension.
1.) 22 Aug 2024 22:32:01
Agreed SosBhoy.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 04:18:10
Now is a good time to sell and to be honest we need somebody more clinical for Europe. I think the issue a lot of people have is a lack of faith that any money received will be reinvested properly.
23 Jul 2024 22:53:32
Ed do you have any idea why the club aren't speaking to Taylor about a new deal? Seems odd to be letting his contract run into the final 10 months when he has be a consistent player for years.
{Ed007's Note - I'm a big Greg Taylor fan but imo he is at a bit of a crossroads in his career this window. If as is expected we bring in a new LB to replace him would GT be happy to be a No.2, even if it's a younger player to be GT's understudy he will know that maybe next season (25/26) or 2 he will lose his place so why sign a five-year deal?
I said on the podcast I wouldn't be at all surprised if GT left Celtic this summer if the contract situation isn't even mooted . I thought this was pretty telling from GT's interview:
"I’m at an age where I want to be playing regular football, I want to be playing every week, I want to be competing for the trophies. I hope there’s a lot of growth in me yet and a lot of enjoyable times in the years to come."
1.) 24 Jul 2024 12:32:13
Totally underestimated player. Gives his all every week. He has weaknesses but has drive and determination.
{Ed007's Note -????
2.) 24 Jul 2024 12:32:36
BR did say he wanted him to stay but I am not sure he will be fist pick if we get someone new in, so if he isn't guaranteed a regular start he will be off.
He has been one of our more consitant players but against crosses and in Europe, he does struggle. I would like him to stay but would like an upgrade, which I know doesn't make sense.
{Ed007's Note - That's how I feel too ?
3.) 24 Jul 2024 12:38:40
Hope signs on again he's better than he gets credit for.
4.) 24 Jul 2024 15:06:02
Taylor gets a lot of unnessesary flak from sections of the support but he is a very solid player domestically and rarely let's us down.
Problem with taylor is his lack of aerial ability and gets beaten too easy against better opposition.
I think its probably best for every party for taylor to move on this window as we do need to bring in a better LB going forward and if we are being honest he is too good to play back up. he's a step up from ralston, hence why ralston will probably see out his days as our no2 RB.
Taylor is good enough to go play at a decent level probably for more money in the likes of the English Championship.
Hes just short on a bit of pace and better awareness at the back post from being a top LB.
5.) 24 Jul 2024 15:44:07
Nobody can question his effort belbhoy but those weaknesses you mentioned get exploited against better opposition. Plus, he's our only recognised LB so so it's definitely an area we'd be looking at anyway. He's probably too good to be a bench warmer though.
6.) 24 Jul 2024 16:16:50
As long as the plan isn’t to bring in KT on a loan as good as he is we can’t rely on him with his fitness . Unfortunately it looks like too many games, playing through injuries and getting munched every week in Scotland when he broke through has taken a toll on him.
7.) 24 Jul 2024 19:19:09
Taylor is a dependable LB probably the same as ralston in terms of domestic success can’t be faulted most games but if we want to improve then a new LB is a must. if Taylor was happy to play second fiddle get 1/ 2 hour and deputise when injury’s occurred like ralston has then I’d sign him up for another few years.
8.) 24 Jul 2024 19:43:37
I also would like an upgrade but Taylor has done an excellent job for us. I understand Taylor wants to be first choice, but when there has been competition he has played at his best. But why aren’t the club in a dialogue with his agent? Surely we can’t be letting a good 26 year old player worth £4/ 5M leave for free. It’s hardly a gamble considering he has been so consistent.
9.) 25 Jul 2024 14:18:11
How do we know that our Board have not been trying to set up talks with Taylor’s agent . They are hardly going to announce now, that they haven’t been able to set up talks with him .
Talks could be progressing without us knowing either.
15 Jul 2024 21:30:54
Got to say I wasn't over awed by the signing of KS but with also signing Sinisalo it is some brilliant recruitment from the club. To sign such an exciting prospect of a keeper and have an old head for a year to take the pressure off and for him to learn from is some excellent recruitment.
From what I've seen from Sinsalo he looks an excellent shot stopper and sweeper keeper, like the way Hart played for us.
1.) 15 Jul 2024 22:13:53
I agree 100% mate. I wasnt overly impressed with the signing of KS as no1 but if we are bringing the young Villa keeper in to challenge KS while he's here then fair play to the club. Having KS with his experience to take the pressure off the younger GK is a great idea. If we bring both in id expect KS to be No1 for the season with sinisalo to become long term no1. Send tobi out on loan again with bain 3rd choice.
If that's what the clubs aim is im all for it, gread business if it comes off.
05 Sep 2024 07:06:53
He is 21 Ed. Is the be list for 21 and under?
{Ed001's Note - sorry yes, I should have said 21 and under.}
04 Sep 2024 22:14:36
Just read that there mate. To not have him in the squad but Montgomery gets a place is mental.
Is he going on loan?
Every time I see him play I like what I’m seeing. There is real potential there.
25 Aug 2024 22:26:58
We have needed a capable LB to at least compete for the starting position for a number of years. From having Laxalt, Bollingolii and Bernabéi scouted and flailing.
I am all for loans to buy as it gives us a year to assess if the cost is worth it. I’d hoped that after the BS that ensued from not having an option to buy in Idah’s loan deal the club would have learned their lesson.
If there isn’t an option then we could be potentially going into the 25/ 26 season without a starting quality LB in our squad. Maybe young Anderson will be ready but there is no guarantees.
There will be a plethora of talented young LB’s loaded with talent and potential across the world. It’s really concerning that we haven’t been able to find any available for purchase in a number of years.
25 Aug 2024 14:48:16
This maybe indicates one of the 2 (POTENTIAL) new CM signings will be a CDM. One can dream as it is definitely a position that needs more grit for Europe.
25 Aug 2024 11:48:41
Maybe Kuhn has niggle as he has been fantastic. Iwata isn’t even on the bench. Is he injured Ed? Or is there a possibility he will also be leaving?
{Ed007's Note - He's not injured so maybe a move is on.}
07 Dec 2024 18:01:50
When was the last time we had a keeper as good or better than KS? Shot stopping, composure and ability with the ball at his feet and overall leadership. He has been our best signing of the summer, what an acquisition he has been.
24 Nov 2024 09:12:07
Welcome mate. Think we all need to remember he is still a young guy, especially with the price tag. Last night Engels lost the ball 3 times in the first half and didn’t run back to help the team retrieve the lost ball. Can understand having a bad game but the lack of effort tracking back was clear to see. It’s unacceptable to be walking back after loosing possession. IMO. He was lucky to make it back on the park after half time. Hard thing to balance tho with young players.
03 Nov 2024 00:01:04
Rodgers said he started Trusty to counter the pace of Aberdeen on the break. RBL are a much better and quicker team so going by the same logic Trusty and Valle will start on Tuesday.
05 Sep 2024 19:34:04
She was a gazelle!
02 Sep 2024 20:26:10
Agree with everything you said JFP right down to not wanting BR to return. We are all so fortunate to have the man lead our great club.
