Kristoffer Ajer made clear to Norwegian media his intentions to leave Celtic this summer. “With one year left of my contract, that would be the best solution for me and my club. Something is going to happen this summer.”
Kris made it clear to the club two years ago he would not sign a new contract and has stuck to plan since. For me, he was our stand-out Player of the Year last season and compares to the very best central defenders we have seen in the modern era.
At 23, Kris is one year older than Virgil van Dijk when he joined Celtic in 2013. I would be hard pressed to pick a more impressive season between Kris’ last season or Virgil’s first. Virgil was better in the air but I have never seen a Celtic central defender break through the lines as safely or effectively as Kris. Virgil tried this but was not in the same class.
Just as we knew Virgil could do better than Southampton, Kris can do better than the apparently-keen Newcastle. Liverpool could do worse than pair them up next season, he will play for a top EPL team eventually. I hope we keep him for the European qualifiers.

Big Jimmy:
Time for shandies!!! Only joking kiddo! Take it easy mind you.Stay safe.
Demonstrating outside the stadium, verbally abusing and launching missiles at players and club officials, all because we lost a game of football is a million light years away from the Celtic supporting ethos of “We don’t care if we win lose or draw”.
I’ve a few quid on Patrick Reed , so hopefully a chance of being placed.
Scandalous that Rahm was allowed to continue
Tom
Losing the league, by 25 points, whilst failing to lay a glove on the eventual champions is a million light years away from “the Celtic Jersey doesn’t shrink to fit inferior players”
To be clear – I don’t condone physical or verbal attacks on our players

Jimmy Johnstone scores against Aberdeen in 1965 at Parkhead. Aberdeen in white shorts before changing to their renowned all red colours. Celtic won 7-1 and this was an early sign that Jock Stein was on the right track at Parkhead.

Celtic’s Dunky MacKay gets a tackle in against England at Wembley in 1959. Regarded as a fine full back he sadly faded from the scene by the mid 1960’s.

Johnny Doyle. What a man, on and off the park. People ask me what was my biggest disappointment whilst following Celtic. It’s not some poxy game, it’s John’s passing in 1981. Devastating for all concerned. Looking forward to forthcoming book on Johnny’s life.

Rare pic of Johnny Thompson keeping goal for Celtic in the 1931 SCF against Motherwell. John’s name will always be revered as long as Celtic exists. I remember playing the Glen Daly ’45’ record on the record player repeatedly at home as a young boy until I learned the lyrics.

That is ST Anthonys words no mine.

Nonsense.
It wasn’t about the loss of one game.
The match was the proximate, not the ultimate, cause of the protest.
Yes things were different in the past.
Players weren’t multi millionaires who lived in a different world to the fans.
There’s no connection now.
The club’s owner has his own objectives and will pursue them come hell or high water
Fans are alienated. They’re treated with contempt.
It’s no surprise some of the reacted they way they did.
As for the ‘we don’t care’ mantra, or at least your construction of it.. Just think about where that leads. Certainly not to Lisbon.
TOM MCLAUGHLIN
Nice to see you back, hope you’re all well.
‘We don’t care if we win lose or draw’ – my elder brother didn’t like that lyric , I think he went on the bus and saw a draw at Cowdenbeath.
HH
Ernie,
so if i read you correctly, it was ok for these disenfranchised “fans” to attack the team bus and thrown projectiles, because the players are millionaires ?
or something like that ?
SAINT STIVS on 6TH JUNE 2021 11:23 AM
‘If’ doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
And failing.
or a new breed of supporter that cannot take getting beaten in any game, never mind one.
so was it ok to act as a mob , attacking the players and staff, while putting the stewards and police in danger during the pandemic, a simple yes or no would suffice.
At this rate women wouldn’t have gotten the vote
Does anyone know how many league and or Cup games ANGE has left to negotiate, before committing to Celtic.
AN TEARMANN-regarding your pal Gerry. I apologise for the language last night. I should’ve said nothing.Me and Gerry didn’t always see eye to eye on here.
Burnley 78 – I would hope so. As long as we do it properly though – no lazy appointments for the key roles.

OTT don’t you think……… Can you state how many players and staff were badly hurt with the mob attacking them.
It shouldn’t have happened in the first place. FACT!!
Anyone reading your piece would think there were hospital admissions at the least.
Incoming- The Great Tarrier Chief…..
The Times is reporting Edouard to Leicester is agreed, fee 15-18m. Hope Celtic have put a similar sell-on clause into the deal to the one we agreed with PSG (50%).

I just looked in, and I see that Ernie the Ego has landed.
I really wonder why someone would condone attacking Celtic staff – sounds like a dangerous cult in the making.
Anyway, loved the pictures from Saint Stivs.
Hail Hail the Celts are here………….
This article suggests the Local Authority was responsible for Ryan Christie (and Kieran Tierney) getting Covid suspensions. I don’t recall kieran serving his however
