One of the problems of doing your business discretely is that if and when agents or selling clubs publicise your interest in their player, media attention has a tendency to attribute too much focus on the most recent name revealed. Teemu Pukki is a player Celtic have been trailing for some months but the fact that his agent yesterday revealed their interest is no indication that he enjoys any pre-eminence over others strikers being considered. If anything, briefings from the agent are an indication of the opposite.
Reports yesterday that Pukki is backup in case a bid for Finnbogason fails are also wide of the mark; this is not the active path Celtic are working on. There are (at least) two other strikers under consideration, neither of whom have directly or indirectly leaked the discussions.
Nothing sells media adverts like transfer ‘news’, which is fair enough, but news is easier to find than the actual story. This is a ‘no news’ article, the easiest of all. No panicking in the back…

no yet mate…about 57.58…
Looks like 4-4-1-1 today.
Solid midfield – a rehearsal for Tuesday?

Solid midfield
More solid than an impacted keech after 4 weeks on the Greggs diet.
Reckon Brown will play right midfield.
Good luck to captain moonlight who (weather dependant) is doing a zip slide across the Clyde to raise money for prostrate cancer.

——————————————-
that is were he is strongest.
Arronmore
Lashing down g72. About six miles from the green.
Today’s team:
CELTIC (4-4-1-1) Forster; Matthews, Mouyokolo, Ambrose, Izaguirre; Brown, Kayal, Ledley, Mulgrew; Commons; Samaras
Subs: Zaluska, Van Dijk, Lustig, Watt, Atajic, McGeouch, Forrest
The game at Aberdeen is the start of a marathon, and the MSM ‘all new Dons’ are perfectly set up for their annual unexpected resounding defeat from Celtic.
We get pitched at Pittodrie early every year for the annual Aberdeen renaissance that normally gets a Celtic cudgelling * Even by John Barnes * ( 0-5 ) that stops it, in it’s tracks.
Today the hyped home side, will incur the wrath of young hungry Hoops, – where key players are rested, and the fringe players, more than grab their chance.
Score forecast ;
Aberdeen 0 – Celtic 4
OR Mulgrew is Playing CB and Ambrose right midfield.
Get young Adam Mathews signed up on longer deal, he is the a Star in the making, re-watch Liverpool game and see versatility and options he can give
Hail Hail

The the ragers shirt is not royal blue (FACT)it is officially washed oot manky blue.
Monaghan …
With my spelling there, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’ d had one or more of their special coffees! Bit early here mind ….
Strikerless Celtic?? Who picked the team, Craig Levein?
Watt should have started, as a striker not a winger, instead of one of our 4 defensive midfielders.
1-1 draw.
Admin *Strike last paragraph of last post*
Hope to see Van Dijk come on at some stage.
Is Tony Stokes injured?

Is Tony Stokes injured?
Yes. Him & Balde
Edited last post paragraph
Today the hyped home side, will incur the wrath of the established hungry Hoops, – where key players won’t be rested.

Aberdeen 0 – Celtic 4

Hope that’s Swallys double up then.
Was also at a wee race night last night, and some horse called ally won.
A CQN table of top top Bhoys, great company and laugh, with exception of Doc, who bought wrong horse in auction – numptyheed
Another right good cause being supported by the best group of supporters on this planet
Hail Hail

I believe it was Super Aly and it was a pig!
As for Doc’s horse purchase, I think we acquired a clothes horse! :-)

Really pleasantly surprised we are putting out such a strong team. It does look like what we will be putting out on Tuesday as well. Brown is getting a lot of football. I thought he”d be rested today.

Off oot shopping. Thats the wife even punishing me !!!
Anyways two things.
1 … Its 2000 years since Jesus roamed the earth and we wont even demand a level playing field
2 ….We have sold the spine of the team that took us to the last 16 in Europe and some people want them replaced adequately cos they support a football team
Holding points of view oné and two results in you being labelled a mal content subversive on here.
3) Good luck to Lenny the bhoys and the support today.
Off oot ;-)

Stokes?

No Stokes or Balde even on the bench? Not sure about that, limited attacking options if we go a goal down.
