Every year we hear that January is a difficult time to do transfer business. Clubs are reluctant to allow top performers to leave midseason, but we’ve had some creative January activity over the years. Objectives for this month are clear.
We need to better prepare for our Summer Cup Finals. Trying to build a defence, or strike force, while simultaneously qualify for the Champions League is, unsurprisingly, tricky. Summer transfer windows are really two periods, the last days of the month, after European qualification has been taken care of, and earlier in the window, when limited volumes of business will take place.
We’ve done some great business early in summer months, most notably Virgil van Dijk, but instances like this are rare.
The most interesting aspect of this window will be how Ronny Deila is backed. He’s 18 months in the job now, long enough to come to an assessment of the wider scouting infrastructure he inherited. We’ve been underperforming on recruitment since January 2012. Ronny needs to buck this trend, and Celtic need to give him the necessary lateral.

A polish goalkeeper playing for Rangers WTF!!
Whiddieye think ae that?
At developement game today. Scott Allan looks the part hope he get’s a run in the team soon . Aiden Nisbet also had a great game, big future ahead of him by the looks of it. Very entertaining game and they played some great stuff.
Canman
Aye for sure they will.
Whit was it Doncaster said a few years back, ” Without fear of favour ” stuck to that didn’t he :-)
Feckin shysters the lot o them.
They won’t even act against us, cos they would have to shut the bigot dome down, they get at us via the referees, no that daft they huns, Eh.

Marspapa
He hopefully plays as often as their last Polish ‘star’ Darius Adamcuk. :)
TET,
I don’t think he mentioned fear or favour, it was the Celtic chairman who made that statement, another abandoned sound bite.
Canman
He did, I am sure of that, our chairman could have as well, but Doncaster defo said it.
I will look for it, or maybes some kind poster could as they would have more chance of finding it than I will.

I don’t know if it’s true, it was the boys that told me, after listening how the mighty Rangers beat some galactico team out your way.
When they used to think Forster was the best keeper in the world, I told them about a better keeper a Polish keeper called Artur Boruc.
Seems they Remeber some playersI loved watching, anyhoo hope you had a,good time over the festive period.
TET,
When it came out of Reid I must admit I was suckered into believing something had changed and we were going to take them on head to head.
Coming from Doncaster you just know its the same kind of rhetoric the yanks use when accusing the others of bombing civilians, just bare faced lies.

I very much doubt if Reid was ever suckered into anything in his life.

I was of the same mind when Dr John was being rather vocal, what changed ?
Who got to him or DD, somebody did, something happened to cut it dead in it’s tracks, Dr John even mentioned a ” Dossier ” what were is words… ” Those Days are Gone ” aye they are gone right enough.
As for Doncaster, agreed, sound bite, nothing more.

Any bets that match delegate neither seen or heard anything offensive.
Nor did PL or DD.
Voguepunter
Haha, honestly you’ll need to pop in one night and have a butchers, oozes class on the ball, Phil Odonnellesque
(injured in the warm ups) lol
I used to think he feined injury so the Minx would massage him.
One of life’s good guys….But everybody knows that.
VP/Marspapa
She likes me injured but not so badly injured that I cannae do my chores! :-)
This debate on Saturdays game about A couple of penalties not been given.for ffs we won 3 points. move on for God sake.and good luck Fatbhoy Slim on your diet.bit of advice keep away from them pies at Celtic Park
No maybe it would be a good idea to stand in the queue. Mind you the time you wait to get served you might lose a few stones.

No surprises there then., it doesn’t seem real,, from what 2/3 years ago till last year all I’ve heard from PAUL67 and others don’t worry theyre a busted flush, they’re not viable, theyre gone, they’re dead, fine if the semantics fit they are.
In sox months or so we will be in the same league facing that very same repugnant, vile, violent shower of bigoted scum and it seems no-one can /is prepared to stop them.
I fear for you, Hamiltontim and the other guys who follow through thick and thin fair weather or foul, I just hope to God innocent fans on both sides don’t suffer anyhoo bud drinking early today and has caught up, shower and bed goodnight guys,
Lennybhoy and the Barnacle hope all is well toodles
Rafa lapped out of Real gives Jose a bit of competition to replace Ronnie.. Could get interesting…. Alternatively Stubbs will Nick it
I don’t believe it seven weeks to pancake day ,
and the shops are already selling flour and eggs…… ;-))
I hope these rumours about Real Madrid wanting ronny aren’t true.
Just when he is about to bring players who understand his system
Eddie@6.35
Thanks for those two clips of penalty incidents. Just emailed them to Sports journalist @Irish News questioning why these two incidents and Nadirs “goal” were not even commented upon in a half page match report. Probably because their go to guy on Scottish Football is Ronnie Esplin (author of at least 8 books on the dead team).
Asked him why these incidents were not commented upon EVEN if people (the people) did not think they were penalties. Surely they at least should have been covered in a match report.
We don’t want Pravda (that’s why Rankers died in the first place) but in what is widely perceived as a “Nationalist” paper the least you could expect is balanced and fair reporting rather than something lifted from PA or penned by a Rangers2012/Sevco hagiographer.
HH
Stars
If a footballer can’t understand a simple system, they should be fecked out of the club, or maybes they can.
HH
Ps
For those advocating we just move on from “penalty incidents” et al the saying that “if you act like a carpet you have to expect to get walked on” springs to mind. Only Huns are afraid of the truth.

Just a wee shout for a programme on BBC Alba tonight at 9:00 called” Mon the West ” for those of you interested in small community clubs it follows the adventures of Westside FC on the Isle of Lewis, really good craic. I mention this because it is Ms Hebcelts directorial debut. Would appreciate honest feedback, not necessarily to me but the station, hope you enjoy. H H Hebcelt

Magic hat already has that gig.
Sitting here watching Hardtalk on BBC News …… It is an interview with a brain surgeon …..unbelievably fascinating….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently Madrid have only put Zidane in for the rest of the season, they really want the magic hat man but didn’t want to be too disrespectful to him or Sevco by approaching mid season.
