Thank you to everyone who participated in our auction for the Lionel Messi signed shirt, which raised £1020 when it closed this morning, a clear £20 more than the Celtic top signed by the Seville squad, which closed a few days earlier, you are a credit to the club. Our summer fundraising for the 1254125 campaign and other good causes is off to an excellent start.
We have seven weeks until our first Champions League qualifying game but the qualifying rounds do not end for a full 12 weeks. These timescales will determine how seriously Celtic take interest in our star players. Right now, there will be little attention to these matters.
With a couple of new contract offers unsigned after 8 months, I expect Celtic will have a sale valuation in mind, but business is often done in the final days of the transfer window, and until then, efforts will continue to re-sign players. Celtic are in the fortunate position of not having to accept an offer to keep the lights on, so if valuations are not met, as was the case with Gary Hooper in January, we can afford to let players leave for nothing.
Willie Wallace’s autobiography, Heart of a Lion, sold out initial stock at the mail-order fulfilment centre and several retail stores last week. The fulfilment centre is now back in stock, all orders should be shipped and with you in a couple of days.

arriving 12.00 Sunday I will pop over to see once I get settled in.
nctim…..Alec Byrne could run down the wing with a dozen eggs in a basket and never break one, I never saw a player like that who would never take a tackle and thats the truth, lovely player, BUT a shitbag.
The Mo fella did struggle a bit,
well a big bit to be honest, whether or not Henke put us onto him or not I’m not sure, but it didn’t work out, move on.
OK Barrowboy look forward to seeing you ;)
If Big Vic is to go to Arsenal then £10m does not float my boat at all.
Hopefully Big Peter will remind Mr Wenger he got £17m for Alex Song who was subsequently dwarfed by Big Vic in the slaying of Barca.
If there are so many EPL and foreign clubs interested then an auction to the highest bidder would be the order of the day.
£20 m and not a penny less for the Big mhan!
You lost me Weefrathe tim? I alway’s chill.
I haven’t really seen enough of Bangura to judge him – injuries and loans ect.
But it seems likely we’ll sell him if any half-decent offer comes in this summer.

Hope I can get this one right! Took an interest in yours and pals blogs about your south American chickens that lay blue eggs.Read a book couple of years back 1421, about the Chinese exploration of the world before Europeans, seemed well researched and explained,have since read detractors. One of the reasons given for Chinese presence was your chickens. If I remember stocky,heavily feathered (black) only known in China and chickens not being native to the Americas.
Maybe of interest,I enjoyed the book!

Has it ever crossed anyones mind .. that the legend that is henrik larsson hasnt got an eye for a player ?
Tin hat on … but still a massive henke fan
WTF was that about the eggs….deerie meeeeee
TBJ
A bit like coisty?
Two tin hats on.
Hey Boy Jinky….you beat me too it, but then again we thought he was a diddy too ;)

Just hearing that the Corpus Christi procession from St Pats to St Paul’s (Dumbarton Rd) was disrupted by Sevcovians’. Any word?
———————————————————–
just the usual insults shouted from outside the windsor and rosevale. orange walks all day in partick. they like to put on a show a force for Corpus Christi.
TBJ
If course it was a wind up, everyone knows coisty can spot a player.
Tactical genius to boot.

You might have . But as soon as he lost that ball to chico Charney I said ” that swedish boy will one day be known as the king of kings ” :))))
Statistics prove that kwistoffer Boyd is a better judge of a player than Henke
Henrik and McCoist should never be used in the same sentence – unless it’s along the lines of: “McCoist, who had already eaten five steak-beaks, was hovering like a vulture to clean leftover’s from Henrik’s plate.”
Now there’s a player.
Wouldn’t cost much either.
Should have read 125 4 125
Hello team
just after the Barcelona game a few of us took the pledge and took part in some events to support the 125 4 125 charity
Since then our aim is two fold
1. To promote the charity and engage with at least one other member of the global Celtic family to do the same
2. raise some money “1.25” “12.50” “125.00” every bit counts
With a few events still to come up,

Climb of Ben Nevis
We are hoping to maximise donations and would appreciate any donations towards 125 4 125 cause

Thanks

Well the Boy Jinky, I am taken aback with your foresight and vision, I applaud you’r greatness ;))
It’s hard to imagine that Alex Byrne is 80. He was one of the best players I remember from my childhood.
praecepta-you might have something there :)
OK guy’it’s avanti time have a great night :))
Pfayr-Bangura will probably be a makeweight as part of a deal,or PL should cut him a deal and cut our losses.
nctim,
I was going to mention Alex Byrne being unbelievable in the reserves (which I used to attend on a Friday night too) and disappearing in the big team but I thought it was inappropriate given that he is celebrating his 80th.

Be a pity to lose Hoops, but if we do it is to the highest bidder not to the club best suited to him, ie Spurs. Think Victor will stay, but if concrete offers come in from the EPL, then it is decision time for both him and us. Looks like Lenny means business in bringing players in, so should have a settled squad fairly soon. If reports are accurate he was looking at at a big forward, could get Russell, and we do have Stokes, Sammi, and Commons, so a fair bit of firepower there.
A wee bit more respect for a guy who wore the hoops in plenty of games wouldn’t go amiss.

Cheers … im not telling you who the next big celtic superstar is … you might think im showing off :)
Bada Bing!!

Yes, 100% correct.
I miss SFTB.
I miss Savoury Straws and Cabana Bars
I Miss Smallpox,Osama Bin Laden….
And Jimmy Savile Too….
SFTB will be back in time for some sensible analysis on possible signing targets (and departures).
Only 90 days till the transfer window closes!
