Football is theatre and good theatrical producers know how to put on a show. That being the case, Celtic will take the opportunity to give the club a timely boost on the cusp of the opening game of the season by announcing the signing of Paulo Bernardo. Perhaps our former campaigning Irish striker will even drop by before Sunday.
Celtic have been at this since Jock Stein’s days. Jock knew that pre-match press conferences were an opportunity to put a spring in the step of players and supporters alike. Brendan Rodgers’ comment yesterday that Paulo would be signed “within hours” is confirmation that the deal is done, you are just waiting for a bit of theatre.

Feyenoord Tournament
Celtic struck gold in the summer of 1981 on their first visit to the four team Rotterdam tournament by eliminating the hosts 2-1 thanks to goals from Dom Sullivan and Frank McGarvey. Dukla Prague had dispatched Anderlecht in the other semi-final and faced the Bhoys in the final on Sunday August 2nd.
The Celtic team that claimed the trophy was: Bonner, McGrain, McAdam, Aitken, Garner, MacLeod, Provan, Sullivan, McGarvey (McCluskey), Burns, Nicholas.

speculation that they extend his contract to stop him walking away now, i am fining it funny that they say “led rangers to a league cup victory, and runners up in league and scottish cup”.
they let a better manager go.
he cant beat the celtic.
lost the champions league tie, go into europa, lose to us before end of month and the great rebuild will become a millstone to actually paying him off.
Will go grab a podium, thanks Paul.
It’s Day 49 in the Big Celtic Transfer House and anxiety levels are reaching enuresis and encopresis levels.
Exchanging 2 goalies from last year for two goalies who left has not provided enough new bling or toys yet. Paolo Bernardo returning as our employee is just the same old same old.
We know that there are future signings and loans coming before the window shuts so we only have a window of a week or two to surpass our personal best in complaining about how embarrassing and disgraceful Celtic are. Even then , we can just enter the new competition of complaining that we have signed players too late, forgetting that we predicted there’d be no signings at all.
And, if Celtic win their opening league matches, we can still nurse our wrath and wait to complain when a Tier One team beats us in the CL.
Then, we can, finally, claim vindication and. state as a fact that we predicted this, and, what’s more, we also said that it’s because:-
a) we signed nobody
or b) Because our signings came in too late.
that these entirely avoidable defeats by Barca, Real Madrid and Man City occurred. If yiz had listened to us we’d have a guaranteed, no-brainer passage out of the Group Stages and back to the mid 20th Century Period of Celtic being European Contenders.
Brendan isn’t happy.

BBC’s coverage of the Olympics is so haphazard it is hard to know what is going on at any given time. Might be due to the fact that the dastardly IOC sold the full rights to Warner Discovery leaving the Beeb with the likes of the Pigeon Shooting. That said their coverage of swimming has been tip-top. Look out for the upcoming Mens 200m individual medley, with our very own Duncan Scott up against French superstar Leon Marchand. Could be a great race.
