    Hearing we are interested in Leicester RB Danny Simpson…..

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ———–

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Noooooo. A scumbag in the John Flanagan mould. Hope not.

     

     

    Yep.

  2. Good luck to Kouassi, can’t imagine there will be a long line of suitors. He is contracted until 2021 so won’t be in any rush to accept a pay cut.

  3. Celtic youth coach Shaun Maloney has joined the coaching staff of the Belgium National Team.

  4. Fascinating how people are.

     

     

    The situation is that Rodgers is holding the line on dembele and if lawwell and the board sell him then Rodgers walks.

     

     

    Rodgers is trying to build a team. The board only see money.

     

     

    The board and CQN have in recent weeks been trying to undermine Rodgers. It’s clear they fear he holds too much sway with the support they are also trying to paint dembele as a good guy here. Hence the guff about promises etc and the news stories.

     

     

    So who you gonna back. The most succesful manager since stein who is protecting the teams the board who will simply bank the money?

     

     

    The equation is quite simple for Rodgers. He will walk if not supported and so he should. Why would he wreck his reputation for more numbers in a bank account and a bunch of dodgy businessmen who don’t care about Celtic the football club and are contentious of you as a support.

     

     

    I think we finally see how dodgy the board is. This has completely exposed their shenanigans.

     

     

    What a mess.

    Shaun Maloney joins Roberto Martinez’s Belgium international coaching set up

     

    —–

     

    Clearly part of the Boyata deal… :)

  6. I’ve taken a few minutes break from grinding my teeth to pick my ideal Europa League group:

     

     

    Salzburg

     

    Celtic

     

    Zurich

     

    Dudelange

     

     

    Low on glamour, low on air miles, high on prospects of progressing and building up a good coefficient.

     

     

    Which of course means the group will be :

     

     

    Dynamo Kiev

     

    Celtic

     

    Spartak Moscow

     

    Apollon

  7. That Celtic support sounded phenomenal last night – such defiance in the face of adversity.

     

     

    I don’t know about DD, PL, BR or anybody else – one thing is certain though – the green & white legions remain stoic.

     

     

    It’s a beautiful noise.

     

     

    KTF. ?

  8. Anyone know why Lawrence Shankland hasn’t been snapped up by an SPFL club? 41 goals in 42 games for Ayr Utd and still only 23 years old.

  9. Deniabhoy

     

     

    Wasn’t a youth sensation at the Dons too ?

     

     

    Agreed – looks a no brainer for someone..

    ———————————————————

     

    Reasonable call ?

  11. YOUSSOUF Mulumbu has signed for Celtic on a two-year deal, and the midfielder is delighted to have made the move to the Scottish champions.

     

     

    The Congolese midfielder spent last season at Kilmarnock, scoring his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Celtic in February, having previously enjoyed spells down south with West Brom and Norwich City.

     

     

    And having put pen to paper on the deal, the 31-year-old can’t wait to start training with his new team-mates.

     

     

    Speaking to the official Celtic website, he said: “I walked on to the pitch when I signed and it felt amazing. These are the reasons we play football.

     

     

    “My immediate focus is to stay fit and ready and be 100 per cent ready. I’ve played at Celtic Park as the opposition and it’s a special place to play, so I’m looking forward to being part of the team and playing there.

     

     

    “I cannot describe how amazing this day is for me, but it’s one step to the other. I have signed but now I must work hard to play.

     

     

    “The first goal for me is to show to the manager that I’m ready. Anytime he needs me I will respond on the pitch. I know the game and what is expected of me so I’m going to be ready when the gaffer needs me.

     

     

    “This is what you work for as a footballer. To play in a big team like Celtic is just amazing. I always work very hard and I want to help the young lads here. We have so much to achieve. We need to do well in the Europa League, retain all the domestic trophies and continue winning the Glasgow derbies. It’s amazing to be part of that.”

     

     

    Sounds as of he is ready and able

  12. Big Wavy – Aberdeen loaned him out and he’s done the rounds with St Mirren and Morton. Didn’t have great numbers although did score two goals on his debut for Scotland U21s in 2015.

     

    But since arriving at Ayr he has been on fire, scoring some absolute peaches and was the PFA Scotland Players’ Player of the Year last season. I saw him a couple of times when I was last at home in Troon. Looked the part. I thought newco would snap him up to be honest as he’d be cheap and has bags of confidence at the moment.

     

    Once upon a time we bought players from lower Scottish divisions that did ok, it wasn’t always about buying foreign projects or loanees from the EPL :)

  13. the glorious balance sheet on

    Deniabhoy

     

     

    Shankland was once at Aberdeen and didn’t cut it there. Might be one of those Stephen Dobbie types that runs riot in the second tier, less so in the top flight.

  14. POGMATHONYAHUN AKA LAIRD OF THE SMILES on 31ST AUGUST 2018 11:46 AM

     

    I’ve just had an e-mail from Scottish Rugby with the following photograph attached:

    Changed days – that’ll be the SRU on the FF banned list ???

     

     

    ————————-

     

    Why are the SRU sending you photos of slimming products you should sue!

     

    Or do theses ads. only come up on my phone?

     

    Awkward!

  15. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Bada

     

     

    Great sound bite from Mulumbu.

     

     

    Guy is a warrior and focused. Wonder if he is near match fitness ? Anyone read about his application since leaving Kilmarnock ? Has he trained with some other club during pre-season ?

     

     

    This is just my opinion but he showed in our matches last season he wanted to put on a show. I like that self pride and self motivation.

  16. OK

     

     

    It has been confidently predicted that Brendan will walk.

     

     

    NegAnon feels today that, if Dembele is sold, BR walks- so he could be gone today.

     

     

    Other posters have asserted he will go when the window closes and recruitment has not been good enough.

     

     

    Others have stated that, regardless of today, he will walk at the ned of the season.

     

     

    Others feel, he will stay for 10iar and then walk.

     

     

     

    Can we have a vote among those with such powers of foresight to agree on when the day of judgement is to be?

     

     

    I don’t want to be climbing mountains, waiting on the rapture, if I am a day/year or decade too early for the event.

  17. Big-Cup-WInners – I didn’t realise we had tracked him. Maybe there is something that is preventing him getting a big move. Aberdeen let him go which they must be regretting.

  18. Dear Bada Bing

     

     

    Please remove that Mulumbu quote as we are not allowed to enjoy it in the current climate.

     

     

    He was a Killie reject, free all summer and without a club. His ability, hunger and undoubted qualities are not relevant at this time.

     

     

    Until further notice.

     

     

    Signed

     

     

    The We deserve better mob

  19. When I saw Malumbu walk all over our midfield last season I thought I’d like him in the Hoops.

     

     

    I had the same thoughts when I watched Scott Brown and Neil Lennon dominate mid field when they were with Hibs and Leicester.

     

     

    See this Football Manager? Pimps.

  20. SFTB

     

     

    Neganon2 said it’s today and his finger is always on the pulse. Getting my funeral suit from the dry cleaners as I type.

     

     

    We’re all doomed csc

  21. 50 shades of green on

    SFTB….

     

     

    I can confidently predict Brendan will walk/ mutually or otherwise….

     

     

    When I dont know, but hopefully after 14 in a row, then he just walks upstairs into a job for the bhoys type job.

    @@@@@

     

    That mob will sign him , if he performs well against them, that’s what they do .

  23. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Malumbu said in his interviewthat his agent told him of Celtic’s interest two weeks ago, told him to keep himself fit.

     

     

    He had been playing in France’s second division since May.

     

     

    He finished by saying that he would now.Never walk alone”.

  24. The Glorious Balance Sheet – you might be right. I was thinking he maybe just took time to knuckle down and live up to his early potential. I don’t think there is a huge gulf between Ayr and the lower half of the SPFL which made me think he could probably do a job for the likes of Dundee, Motherwell, Livingston etc.

     

    Not suggesting he is a replacement for MD by the way, I am just curious as to why he didn’t get a move to the Premier League in the summer. Not often someone bags that many goals and doesn’t get snapped up.

  25. thomthethim for Oscar OK – thanks for that. I had no idea he had been back playing in France. Thought he was a free agent?

  26. SFTB

     

    A vote, is it ?

     

    Ok. I agree. He will either walk, or he won’t.

     

    In my worthless opinion, I think he’ll be here until the end of his contract.

     

    If he isn’t, heads must roll.
