With Leigh Griffiths set to sign in the next few moments our business for the January transfer window is complete. As well as Leigh, we added 20-year-old Icelandic striker Holmbert Fridjobsson, and 23-year-old Norwegian left-midfielder, Stefan Johansen.
I expect Johansen and Griffiths to be holding down a starting place no later than next month. Johansen’s case will be made all the more straightforward if Joe Ledley accepts an offer from Crystal Palace, although he may choose to wait until the summer before leaving.
We’ll be wondering why we signed Mo Bangura years from now, he patently didn’t look a player at Celtic.
Neil Lennon has a fixer-upper with Leigh, a player he has taken a number of references for and believes he can turn into a productive Celtic player. The player’s personal history is something he has to put behind him now. I’ve read many comments on this subject over the last few days, with some empathy, but it’s just as well Twitter wasn’t around in the 60s, 70s or 80s. Some of our heroes from past eras have been more than a tad off-colour in my earshot.
Time for Leigh to get onto the field and do what he does best.

Kit when I am speaking to my team at wok I always talk about passion. They always laugh when I do but they love the fact I am passionate about what I do and that I am ambitious for us.
I agree. I don’t really mind a bit of abuse. But I find it hard to take the small minded ness we so often see.
Nakkasammi ok I think you mean that we don’t know if we have improved this window cause we never saw them play yet? I agree. Go to bed in peace!!!!
ACGR
You should have asked him if he’d ever had his nat king oan a cormorant pile carpet!!

I did not say I was not accepting your apology I was rather gently ribbing you about your justification for the need to apologise. You keep on fighting your fight and I will keep on thinking you are wrong that way we are both happier.
Green pita it gives me no pleasure but my for celtic deserve criticism.

I’ve not tried every herb so I can’t honestly say but I suppose if you were to mix your herbs you might just come up with a very potent brew.
Life’s good mate, after twelve weeks of the in-laws today I got back my freedom. Now I’m just waiting for the sun to drop a wee bit and then it’ll be time to cut the grass.
But don’t worry, I have a ride on with a beer bottle holder and a wee compartment for my herbal smokes. Cutting the grass is fun.
Ok Owen
Night all this moonhowling sober is hard work.

I salute you!

I don’t always agree with what you’ve posted over the years, you know and remember that I’m sure, but sometimes my viewpoint was conceived from my heart alone, I ignored the wee ball that God gave us shoulders to support and I was guilty of posting in ignorance.
Now I’m sure we will have our differences in the future, and I do look forward to them, but in the interim I agree with what you are presently saying and I endorse it if that means more than jot.
Sir Peter of Bonus starts the race to the bottom to meet whatever incarnation of Sevco is around in August 2015.
Hope I’m wrong…….Think I’m right.
FFS pedro, not like you to be up during the howling hours. Have you shat yourself again?
Pre match table booked for 13.00 sunday. Young acgr in attendance so sadly no spare for young caravanachio67’s wee buddy.
Should be plenty of spare seats though because apparently we’re shite and not worth the watching. Better off staying in the hoose and injecting whisky intravenously into yer JT.
Anyway, I’ll be there to cheer on the hoops. See you Sunday bruv.
Hail Hail
Doesn’t really matter since we had to get some money for him but the guardian are reporting £450k for Ledley. Fingers crossed Johansen can take his place.

Loving this Neil Young Heart of Gold on 4
Thank you DD good shout.

Window shut.
Sammi still here :))
Greek ghod ready to terrorize Barca once more.
But he’ll toil against the 11-man defensive walls of the SPL; not good enough for some. Go figure.
Joe Ledley off to the heady arena of Selhurst Park. Hooper-esque ambition?
A bit sad about that but he never quite convinced the majority of his quality. Some great CL performances. Some disappearing acts when you just felt he could give some more.
Did we miss out on the midfield playmaker we so badly need? Was that the guy Lenny was referring to when he spoke about a deal going down the line but collapsing late on?
We’ll see.
Meanwhile, welcome Leigh Griffith. Don’t let the mineshafters grind you down – show the Hoops what you’ve got, son. Make yourself a hero.
Neg & Kitalba
Life good here. Neil Young and Glasgow Green is good mix. :))
It’s such a pity Charlie and Craig Reid wurnae born on Speyside. Sunshine on Keith would have had a much more balanced ring to it.
I’ve got the answers
To all of your questions
If you’ve got the money
To pay me in gold
I will be living
In old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading
The secrets of soul
Daggers and contacts
And bright shiny limos
I’ve got a watch
That turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns
And poisonous cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She’d rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I crossed the ocean
Where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb
In your submarine
Goodbye to old friends
The secret’s in hand
With full ream of papers
And fantastic plans
You never will understand
There There…..Fixed that Wikipedia definition for ya Pete…
Race to the bottom:
The current push by Peter Lawell to drive down the standard of player at Celtic in Scotland,as a result of businesses fighting to remunerate their fat directors at the highest possible rate while reducing the match day experience for customers having to watch the equivalent to English League 2 players.In order to achieve the lowest cost workers pay and benefits are reduced or eliminated. Wal-mart leads this race in retail and Peter would be better suited to working there than somewhere he doesn’t understand the customers or give a feck about anything other than his annual bonus.
The race to the bottom is underway as their top players are transferred and remaining players will have to take a job with 1/2 the pay of their former contracts.

Wal Mart refuse their employees medical insurance. Result!
Kinda like externalizing cost and hoping for tax dollars!

Margaret it’s perhaps the darkest days in our history. Ethnic cleansing of the support, crippling lack of ambition and a desire to return to the bigoted pound.
============================
Spade’s a spade old bhoy, and that is total pish;
Feb 1994 – THE darkest days in our history, families of vermin sucking the lifeblood from the corpse before Fergus arrived in March.
‘Ethnic cleansing’ of the support? Drama-queen overkill nonsense.
Truth – Bad handling of the GB, yes; kow-towing to media bitches like Jackson, yes; terrible PR, yes; ignorance of the support mindset, yes. No prasie from me for their abject arse-ing of the whole situation post-murderwell and Milan bannergate. BUT, ‘Ethnic cleansing’ – ridiculous statement; maybe at Mordor…
A desire to return to the bigoted pound? Don’t see it. I see a board planning for the inevitable but not deigning it the fulcrum through which all future plans evolve. The Hun WILL return to the top flight in whatever guise, but they’ll be no match for us. Maybe never trouble us again.
The PLC will take the extra money they bring with them via TV rights, gates, etc, but that is their JOB – to maximise revenues for the club, to make the club’s market value buoyant, to make the club a good investment, to make the club a PLAYER when the evolution of european football brings further involvement and riches (e.g the BT CL deal – 20 million bucks just for qualifying next year).
Too many see the Huns as the darkness at centre of our Celtic world, the great nemesis ; not now – they’re light years from offering any competition, no matter the ubiquitous token subversion of the rules by their acolytes in blazers and black. We’ve simply played them off the park, OFF the park – beaten them where it really counts in the big bad modern football world: in business practice. Beaten them into oblivion fiscally and marketplace-wise.
Be under no illusion – they’re toxic among the markets, a dead, rotting fish with minimal value and a ton of pollution. It would now take a criminally-insane megalomaniac Bond villain to invest the amount of lucre they’d need to even get on an even-footing with us. And they got rid of their last 3.
We won. We continue to win. So cheer up.
You need to filter your ire with some perspective before firing off accusations.
GMB
That was an amazing artist at work. Hope you enjoyed NY as much as I did. :)
ryecatcher, I’m not sure what to make of your post above? Taking the piss or talking utter shite. I hope you are taking the piss.
I hope Peter Lawwell is around Celtic for the rest of eternity.
Morag McGill…..
Alice Cooper songs.
Oh dear oh dear.
ACGR…..
I hope he isn’t around very much longer mate…..
Let’s agree to disagree.

What you talkin about?

“What have the GB got to do with Celtic Nation?”
————————————————————————-
Absolutely nothing that I know of.
My comment was a non confrontational general statement about a possibility of the GB going to see Celtic nation from BCW.
“Wouldn’t surprise if it’s the lads from the GB going to Carlisle”,
——————————————————————————
Nothing sinister just a comment, but now you mention it. :-
Most of us were there before the GB.
Most of us were there during the GB
Most of us will be there when the GB are a distant memory.
Just like the Jungle Bhoys ( No disrespect ) they will fade into insignificance

Green piñata….
Jungle Bhoys insignificant?
Massive part of our rich history , I think you will find.

Listen the sooner this current Scottish Showjumping spectacle turns back into a two horse race and focus attention away from Europe (yer havin a laugh) the better for the usual suspects.
Yes its Groundhun day !!!!
ryecatcher I love you!
ryecatcher,
Agreed, but where are they now? They have faded into insignificance over a relatively short period of time.
HH.
Where’s Calton Tongues when you need him?
Ryecatcher, that’s boring, lets have a twelve hour debate about it, talk pish and bore the arse off half the planet. You can finish by referring to me as Jim Goodwin, I’ll call you Frank:-)
Here’s a wee vid for all the angst ridden long suffering Tims who want to be back in the bosom of perfect mother Cetic.

It aint perfect but it’s pretty damn close.
Goodnight Celtic men and wummin.
We Are Celtic, all of us.

Greenpinata that’s what happens when you conduct a perfect ethnic cleansing.
Is that dramaqueenish on the part of the poster or the ethnic cleansing suits?
Are we pissed off enough yet?
I heard some CQN’rs discuss the 7th century death cult recently.
A cult followed by a third of the worlds population.
Sorta like another death cult followed by another third of the worlds population symbolized by a corpse nailed to 2 bits of wood?
Are we there yet?
Thank God for Vishnu
Anyway as i was saying
Over and Over we will follow you!
I’m praying for a right good ethnic cleansing of moustaches in the crowd next. Can’t stand moustachesssss.
Not been on for a while and no read back. Just read a story on news now about bangura dated 2011. A pure wind up. Just sent an email to stv thusBaaahhaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa hurting badly Baaaahhhhaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa Hail Kail
