Celtic last broke their transfer record four years ago this week when they paid PSG £9m for then-20-year-old striker, Odsonne Edouard. Yesterday’s deal to acquire Cameron Carter-Vickers from Tottenham will almost certainly exceed this. The initial £6m valuation will inevitably rise to £10m.
Cameron was our best defender last season and without him, the job of retaining the title, or competing in the Champions League, would look significantly more difficult. He becomes a permanent Celtic player at 24, having spent four years on loan in the lower leagues in England before a temporary year at Celtic as part of Ange Postecoglou’s new regime.
He is 17 days older than Odsonne. In asset management terms, he is a generation ahead of where the striker was when he arrived here from PSG. In age terms, Cameron is closer to where Christopher Jullien was when he came to Celtic as a 26-year-old. This means a lot of scouts have had a look at the player and none in the English top-flight have moved for him. We can, therefore, hope he could be a mainstay in the Celtic team for some years to come.
The defence still needs work but we have paid a solid foundation this week. Welcome to Celtic, Cameron.

I did consider a pub with a telly but couldn’t be arsed watching another Clarke classic, sounds like a good choice😕
in the other big game, Faroe Islands lead Lithuania 2-1, cmon the Egyptians.
Football can throw up some funny results. This isn’t funny.
Taxi for Clarke.
Looks like the ‘think tank’ are still thinking ffs
I always want Scotland to win but as I have said before it’s nothing like Celtic playing … so effectively a different sport … but when the Irish fans give it a bit of “Grace” I do find myself cheering on the bhoys in green :-) 🍀
GO TELL THE SPARTIM
Hanley and McKenna are slower than a week in jail. Both are cart horses. McKenna has a decent left foot, but he is nowhere near the calibre of an international class defender. Looks like we will finish the Group with one win, and probably bottom, behind Armenia.
The Faroe’s center back is a Chiropractor……..
On surveying the smelly, raggedy arsed scarecrow huns at Paradise a few years ago, a Lisbon Lion opined-“they really are the most dreadful people”. Who was that Lion?
Scotland, one guy up front… That’s OK, so do we but we play with two wingers. Scotland are all midfield.
Steve Clarke is a dead ringer for ming the merciless 😉
Iniquitousiv
I’ve never rated any of the starting back 3 not di I really care how they do, as long as our players come out of them unscathed then it’s a ++ for me
Bertie ???
Very strange, we’re getting the Scotland game on Hes Goal.
Prestonpans, nope. Good guess.
Soutar on to save the day. Subs made at 45, 60 and 75 minutes, as if these precise fractions of 90 minutes are some magic elixir. Would have been more effective at 21, 29, and 52 minutes according to how the game was going. ( in my humble opinion of course ).
Ireland, just based on their last 10 results, are utter pish. But we are pishier.
Pishier. Ffs hahahaha 😆
Ok the saltcoats buzz bomb
Really bad tackle on Armstrong. Could have been red.
Gilmour free kick WTF wis that
Oh ffs Prestonpans. I despair of the younger generation. 😂
Scotland really are pish
Well done, Éire.
Delighted for Stephen Kenny.

Best me to it
Younger generation, thanks for the compliment👍👏 I’m 60, just pish at this😂😂😂😂😂
Think i hear a bit of booing going on!
GENE
No, you were ‘bester’ :)
Brian
Utter travesty of a performance from Scotland’s ‘finest’ professional football players. Ye Gods and Little Fishes! How bad was that?
Homour me.yer patters total cack.now you just keep talking gibberish turkey
Belmontbrian
No you’re betterest
It was the Irish fans who were booing.
They wanted 4,
Said before and say again, the plastic pitch manager is mince; too defensive; no tactics; picks MSM favourites, makes Scotland look like a international Killie
Jim Craig is the correct answer. Your prize, gentlemen is buying me copious amounts of beer when you are back in Glasgow. I’m looking forward to that. 😜

I think Kenny’s job would have been on the line had they lost tonight, his ideas are good, just disn’y have the players
Ah bugger, that was my next choice😱
TET
In comparison Clarke’s ideas are poor and with the odd exception so are his players
