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 was thinking the same about Callum, heard Stevie Clarke on the radio saying he won’t make as many changes but will make some …
I suppose it’s a total compliment to Callum, in my opinion he is Scotland’s best midfielder so maybe that’s why the manager plays him every game, think Ange & Stevie C realise they’re teams are better with Callum playing every minute … on yesterdays game I think Christie & McTominay left Callum totally exposed.. in my opinion Ryan C is a total luxury player and found out in games like that … Ireland’s midfield “never stopped” :-)
Baltic in Corcaigh…………..
When will summer start.
Watched the game with some neighbours, you could tell even they were surpised at how weak we were yesterday. We look done.
O’Bafemy’s goal was a peach.

In ither news ……….great news on Big CCV…………….smashin’.
Not much better in the Fair City.
Glory be! That big yellow thing in the sky has just made an appearance. Has been miserable here until now.
Timbhoy163- i agree top players play too many games,but the likes of Bale and Ramsey are a disgrace.
I have been a big Supporter of James Forrest over the years, howevaaaah I was surprised he was given a new 3 year contract.
Ange knows what he is doing, getting James to play top drawer Every game he is selected will hopefully prove to be a wise old choice.
I remember whit he did to Udinese away!!!
Petec
That was 2011 – doesn’t say much if you have to look that far back for a great performance – has no bearing on his current capabilities.

I agree – if the comment had been made by a player who was consistently picked for club and country then I would understand – those players play too much footie.
Bale probably needs more time for his golf.
Gene,
I hope James can do the damage again, as I said, I was surprised.
LazyTubing but what a selection of tracks.

Word of the day is ‘struthonian’ (1960s): one who ignores unwelcome facts and buries their head in the sand. From the Latin ‘struthio’, ‘ostrich’.
Good afternoon all from Ruglen. Rather windy today. Any statement yet from the lavviedome about the shambles at the Nobby Styles gig? 🤔
BRRB,
What was the shambles?
BRRB 1.11pm
The struthonians in the south side will just bury their heads in the sand … it’s what they do :-)
St Stivs cheers for the heads up “struthonian” is now part of my vocabulary
I’m at Tollcross for a swimming competition that my 11year old daughter is in.
What a sport for kids, it’s so encouraging- unlike a lot of kids football I see. Not that the kids at football don’t get encourage, but winning is definitely the most important factor.
Majestic 1.15. It’s an article on videocelts about the lack of toilets outside the ground. Harry Styles concert, not Nobby ffs. 🙄
St Stivs
Nothing to do with rowing boats then?
BRB @ 1.21
I’m sure there is no truth in the rumour that they were removed because the Huns were drinking them dry.
GGH, watergate 2 apparently. 😂
St Stivs, Struth was one of their dodgiest criminals as you know. That takes some doing.

In a statement, Police Scotland said: “Officers were made aware of a man falling from a club deck at a premises on Edmiston Drive, Glasgow at around 10.15pm on Saturday June 11 2022
A fall at The Edmiston Folly an’ the boys in bloo can’t mention either the name of the “premises” or currant owners of the dilapidated facade………….
Aye.

Gareth Bale seems to me like a very proud Welshman, this is his manager speaking of him …
He’s been a legend. He’s a Welsh icon, absolutely. And not just what he has done on the pitch. A lot of people don’t know what he does off the pitch with regards to charities.”
Bale’s charitable work, Page says, has been just as valuable a contribution to Wales as the fierce passion and determination he shows when pulling on the famous red jersey.
“We had to do a photograph recently for a car company, one of the sponsors where we were handing over a car, and they wanted Gareth in the picture,” he said.
“I asked why and it was because he had donated a large sum of money to the hospital. A lot of people don’t see that. He’s not the type of character to shout that from the rooftops. I’m going to do it for him. He won’t do it and then we don’t get to hear about the good he does.
“It’s not just what he has done on the pitch, it’s what he is. He’s a role model to the younger kids and things like that shows he has got class.”
