The mood around Celtic Park was a bit sombre when Virgil van Dijk was scouted by Southampton. Virgil looked like he was scared to break a fingernail in the capitulation against Legia Warsaw; we lost out on Champions League qualification, although the player was heading south anyway.
With Stuart Armstrong being measured for a red and white outfit, there is significantly less stress at Celtic. Stuart delivered for Celtic during his three years at the club, but he left unable to command a regular starting place in the team. We are selling a fringe player who has one season left on his contract for a fee which reflects the inflated English transfer market.
Celtic have managed this playing asset very well. Consequently, they have more money available to invest in the team. It is also worth noting that we could have sold the player a year ago, but resisted as Brendan Rodgers did not have back fill. The manager has been preparing for this scenario since. This should be an enjoyable summer for the Celtic support.

Actually DD
It might have Lato not Denya
They had a great team in the 70s Poland
Delaney’s, as he was a redhead , Boniek for me even though he played for Rubentus.
Might have been Lato *
WITS
Haha. You got her number?
KEVJUNGLE on 25TH JUNE 2018 9:30 PM
I hope your well.
That’s your opinion, not fact. Tell me this, which Lisbon Lion would Dalgleish have replaced?
KTF
The ref was thinking that if he didn’t award the penalty that would have been Iran on the wrong end of 3 VAR decisions.
He’s probably on his 4th cold one now musing ‘Sod this for a game of soldiers’.
Delaneys
I used to have her number, for purely professional purposes,.She drank and cursed like a trooper, loved her football. She moved jobs and I lost touch with her.
Shes probably in Australia working for an Auctioneer…as a great man from Fife once said
Can anyone name Brazilian midfielder aka the 8th King of Rome.

WITS Dallas
Boniek, Deyna and Lato are Polish icons like Shuggy, Jackie, Magic and Holy Goalie. ?????
Dallas
Boniek was the Polish player I remembered as a kid, his red hair made him stand out in the Juve strip :-)
Bada Bing at 9.29, the goal he scored showed how much skill and technique he had even drawing a rapturous round of applause from the Jungle and other parts of the ground after he scored.
It was a tremendous solo effort beating three or four of our players .

I had my fair share of Hop House 13 at the weekend ! Nice beer !
Gerry, Boniek was Poland’s best player in the 1978 world cup.
At that time , i thought only Irish , Scots , Welsh and English people had red hair.
DD 9.47pm
I was about to post Boniek is now my 4th favourite Polish player after Artur, Jackie D & Shuggie W :-)
Hello from a sunny Lisbon. The locals are a tad quieter after Iran smacked them in the gub about an hour ago. Anyway , just a wee tale about our legacy in Lisbon.
I walked out of the Time Out Market around 6pm tonight and was approached by a large Senegal gentleman enquiringly if I would like to buy some of his wares. He took me and the Mrs to be German , as happens frequently, however on hearing the accent he says “Scotland? “. We chatted about my appreciation of the Senegal players in Russia and he told me that Patrick Viera is not much liked in Senegal after he chose France as his country. I then tell him about the famous Glasgow Celtic only for his eyes to light up and he told me all about the crowds who were in Lisbon last year. He couldn’t understand but knew we were a good bunch of people. He mention the “ Lions of Europe “ which was a good stab at it, and he was amazed I was back again for a second visit.
Needless to say my good lady now owns a genuine , African stone bracelet guaranteed to bring us long life and good fortune. What else was that 5 Euro note in my pocket for?
Who was the only man ever to play for Belfast Celtic and to manage England?

I was speaking about being a long time Lurker recently. Tonight has highlighted it in a way that I am incapable of. The breadth of footballing knowledge is quite astonishing, hence being a Lurker. Thank you each and every one of you.

The wonderful Falcao.
Who scored a peach against Scotland in 82.
Night all.
Enjoy
KEVJUNGLE,
You must have read the earlier posts where contributors were discussing the likes of Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo. You must have seen what they did? Put their case forward as to who was the best player; backed up with a mixture of facts and opinions. Try it sometime. You don’t have to be controversial all of the time.
Jmccormick
€5 well spent :-)
Enjoy the rest of your break

Magic Zurawski before Boniek. Wore the Hoops wi pride and banged a few goals in.
I think SFA have a meeting tomorrow concerning the 2012 UEFA license for Rangers.
Does anyone think that there might be honest outcome ? I think it will be a whitewash. I hope I am wrong
I do not think it was a penalty for Iran.In saying that,I have seen referees give similar in the English league regularly.That smug condescending twat Sheared would have been bouncing I the award had gone in Engerlunds favour.VAR is not perfect,but it has got most of the incidents to look at right.Spain’s equaliser tonight being a perfect example.Much rather have 10 right and 1 wrong than nothing.
Speaking of great footballers of days gone by surely deserves a mention
The coolest man ever

I actually forgot about Zurawski, scored a few goals in the Hoops think the number 7 was a burden… Boniek now dumped to number 5 :-)

WITS – Did Socrates have a Dublin connection?
Studied medicine in Dublin or something.
Can remember hearing that he won an all-Ireland college football medal, think it was an urban myth though.

Don’t think the SFA are meeting, an independent panel will hear the case i believe. No info on when verdict will be delivered.

TONTINE TIM, I was at the Sunderland game. I thought that was John Hughes’ big day.
*cost me a relationship, when I read the score in the Citizen stop press segment i left her and a pal in the pictures and went with the pals boyfriend who wisnae a Tim and bought a bottle of plonk. Nae loss anyway.
The Bear and Chopper were the stars that night. Harry Hood, George Mulhall and a young former St Pats FP fae Helensburgh Nicky Sharkey played in the same forward line as baxter who was at inside left. They were managed by former deidco and Scotland captain ian mcccoll fae the Vale of Leven who had just walked out on managing the national side while it was still in the WC, seems tae be a common trait with that mob. The Big Mhan replaced him on a temporary basis.
Imo, Baxter had the ability. He squandered it through drink. He would have been more at home at Celtic Park, in that he played football the Glasgow Celtic way.
*as I said earlier he was playing for the wrong side, even the dour and presby management couldnae contain him.

Sorry mhate tried to change your name earlier ffs !
Any investigation by the SFA into the activities of the SFA will deliver SFA.
