Hot on the heels of a former Celtic player becoming the most expensive defender in transfer history, we watched Dedryck Boyata stroll through Belgium’s win against England last night. I would be more animated on this subject if he was secured on a five year contract, but as he his current deal only has one year to go, such a high profile performance could reduce our options for the player.
How many of you thought we would be in this situation after the Ibrox game in March? That day Brendan Rodgers said there was better to come from Dedryck. He is still not the finished article, but he’s a key cog in a team who fancy their chances in Russia.
Stiliyan Petrov match worn Champions League shirt raffle
We have a very special raffle, which ends this afternoon! The shirt Stiliyan Petrov wore in Celtic’s 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich during our 2003 Champions League campaign is available. You can buy a ticket for £1 here on ebay. Stan signed the shirt.
All proceeds go to the Stiliyan Petrov Foundation to aid research into leukaemia and cancer treatments. Stiliyan’s recover from leukaemia shows us just how far treatments have come, but as our own CQN community knows too well, more progress is needed. The draw will be made at Woodside Hotel, Aberdour, where the 14th annual CQN Open Golf Day is now underway.
Hope to see you later.

JUST read Brendans comments reg . Kt on Celtic star.
Totally disappointed with his opinion.
He should be more encouraging.
Kt is celtic to us all, our TB,
Never thought he would say such things to encourage a bidding war.
If Kt goes I go.
A wonderful warm Welcome Back to
WEETWEETWEET !!!!
I hope you pick up quickly,big fella. That’s a long time to be out of commission.

Just been mailed this…

Got it from my wee Toffees fan in Swindon. I thanked him in my reply,and told him KT is not for sale. Even if they put a 1 in front of their offer.

Surprisingly,the article does not invite “Below The Line” comment. Perhaps because much of it might be below the belt.
Such as..

Did Brendan just put an actual price tag on KT? £25 mill in todays crazy transfer market isn’t that much. Growing a wee bit concerned on the, apparent, lack of transfer activity. 1st team Players leaving with potentially more to follow and with the opening rounds of the CL qualifiers not too far off we have hardly strengthened. Net spend thus far probably equates to hee-haw with the French Eddies transfer being covered by VVD’s bonus and SA’s transfer fee
Brendan can we please try and bring Paddy back?
KT to Everton for £25 million?!
Aye, right!
Anyway, Paddy Roberts is possibly coming back on a permanent deal and we all know how close these two are!
HH!!
Big up to Taggsy, BK and the bhoys who put in all the graft so some charity golfers can get sunburned and pished in Fife.
Couldn’t make it this year, but I hear first hand that it was a “totally Tim tear up”.
YogiHughes, thanks for the info on the B side of Celtic Celtic. It was Scaniel who was looking for it, and I’m sure he’ll pick it up from your post. Thanks again. HH
Far better teams than Everton will pay a lot more than £25m for KT. The current story looks like a kite being flown by his agent to generate interest in him. Expect Man U and Spurs links in the coming weeks.
I was drinking in The Saltmarket yesterday from 1.30 til about 9.30.
due to the TRNSMT Concert on the Green, the concert goers took over the place.
The numerous Sexy, Stunning Girls that were walking about almost Half Naked almost put me aff my numerous Beers !
My God…I saw some STUNNERS yesterday……..
There should be a Law against that kinds thing, it’s enough to give us auld Geezers a heart attack !
Lovin it !

Hi Yogi – B side memory. My first thought was up with the bonnets of bonnie. Dundee …. or some other pash. Think I only played it once. A side was worn very thin. And thanks to Friesdorfer for passing it on.
Getting dragged to Dalyan market now- the things you have to do to watch the France/ Argie game!
I spoke to some of these beautiful girls, including one girl aged about 24 ? She was 6 FEET 2 INCHES in height. Gorgeous looking, beautiful thick Blonde hair. she wore a Sky Blue net material, low cut mini dress, that was completely “See Thru”,
We shared a we laugh as she made her way to the Green……My God that Girl MUST have been a Model…if not she should be !
I instantly fell in Love.
I hope my new Burd disnae find oot that i was looking/chatting to other wummin !
I might go back oot today, and see more beautiful wummin literally ootside my front door. I may have to go to my local Bar for some refreshments to cool down a bit.
i hate it when I am forced to go into a Pub..it’s shocking.
HH
Big Jimmy, keep on keeping on, pmsl! Perhaps see you in the Bon Accord this afternoon? HH
Catching up after my Night Shift.

Morning Tims…..
I see TROONCELT has been on the sauce again ….:-)
25m for KT is a decent price imho, what game do they want him for….
World cup begins today, ??????
Kieran Tierney is a very rare breed. A dyed in the wool supporter, who just happens to a brilliant player. Football memories are made by football heroes. KT is a true hero to us Celtic fans.
Give us £100M and we still couldn’t replace him. He’s not for sale, at any price.
Morning all.
I gather our manager has been speaking about KT. I have enough trust in him that he wouldn’t be saying anything to the detriment of either KT or Celtic.
All I hope is that if KT really does leave us (and I have been a fan since his debut) is that we get what he’s really worth, which is a great deal more than 25 million.
In the same vein. I am increasingly concerned that we will lose DB too now. Here’s hoping there’s a bidding war from a lot more clubs than just Lazio. As I said a couple of days ago, playing for Belgium has given him the confidence he sometimes lacks and, hopefully, his concentration too. He’s another I would rather we kept. But he’s not a supporter like KT. So, I guess he’ll be off.
WITS
Sorry to read your sad news.
Prayers said for your family and the repose of Sheila’s soul.
May Sheila rest in peace.
OK,are Brendans comments on the alleged bid from Everton,or just the standard answer to the usual stories.Even on here,and other blogs,its as if he is responding to this story in a different manner.
If the unthinkable happened,I would want a lot more than the price quoted.
I would have thought KT would want to stay for at least the 10.
Can never imagine,or want to think about him leaving.
Carry on looking Jimmy.It does you a power of good.I have the same problem every day here with staying at the beach.God made some wonderful creatures.They should be admired.
Having read what Brendan said re KT, I have no worries. He simply spoke the truth ( In response, I assume , to a question where the reporter was hoping for an answer allowing sensationalist reporting) re our Club ie every player has his price.Regardless, I don`t see KT going anywhere soon.

I hadn`t read your post before composing mine. Had I done so, I wouldn`t have needed to post !

There is absolutely not a doubt that Celtic are going to sell Kieran Tierney and soon. The kid probably sees the writing on the wall too. What writing on the wall ? Easy, “that the Rangers are coming” as they add real quality on and off the park.
When you add we are on a downward trajectory (Invincible Treble winners two seasons ago; but last season Treble scraping it). You can see why Stuart Armstrong and now KT could be baling.
When are Celtic going to match the signings over the southside ? There’s hardly anything that I can see no headlines of major coups, jetting in or even a story about players being dough eyed at the wonder of STEVEN GERRARD.
The guys in the Teddy Bears dressing room must be dazzled and still wondering who are the not so bright ones after Stevie told the throngs “A lot of them are bright and a lot of them have taken it on-board quicker than others”.
Here’s a pic of the Ragers player pondering this:

C’mon Celtic dispense with the World -cup players (who’ll be tired) and sign up a good solid, centre back. That’ll save us from CL humiliation again.

What about McGregor? He has been earning some rave reviews of late. That is usually a MSSM precursor to articles about his impending departure.
Anyway, my own departure is also impending and I must depart now to make my way down to the Bon Accord in the Dear green Place.
Cheerio for now to most and see you soon to others.

Messi’s “good” goal described differently by others without your strange antipathy to the wee genius.
BBC: “Lionel Messi’s fantastic strike. . . ”
Independent: “3 magical touches. . . . Sublime goal. . . 3 touch masterpiece of timing, speed and technical precision”
The Telegraph: “a brilliant goal”.
Liam Brady: “Up there with the best goals he’s ever scored” (over 600, of course, to choose from).
And if neither Cruyff nor Messi are “in the conversation”, I think you’ll be struggling to be taken seriously, despite your elevation of the Euros and Copa America in importance to suit your CR7 agenda.
Remember Greece, and a sand-covered Denmark winning that fairly recently.
John Jensen in the conversation then?
(I remember him, as I had him at 25-1 to score the first goal. Not an entirely “law of averages” punt. He’d never scored an international goal, but had hit the post against Engerlund earlier in the tournament.)
Not in the conversation

As my old man used to say, as some beautiful young lass passed,
‘You don’t have to be hungry to look at the menu!’
A wee piece of useless trivia re the KT to Everton nonsense!
Everton’s Goodison Park was the first purpose built football stadium
in the world and was opened on the very same day that Celtic inaugurated
their very own basic football ground at Celtic Park, Glasgow.
Hail! Hail!

“Obviously you didn’t buy this moderator a drink at a previous hoot…”.
That’s a scandalous accusation ” BMCUW in forgot in alleged FORGOT HIS WALLET AGAIN” sensation.
Winkle pickers who has a reputation for constantly missing his train to ensure someone else has got the round-in has been confronted by a former friend a source said.
Another CQNer vented about the exclusiveness of a splinter group organised by Curly toes ,The CQN Ayrshire Curry consumer’s clique”. “I wanted a Chicken Madras one night with the guys, but I couldn’t go being based in Cumbernauld”.
It’s pretty chilling, it’s like a masonic thing and we all know where that started.
Guys I’m sorry about all the junk posts…………..the Mrs is wanting me to paint and battering away furiously on the blog will (hopefully) keep her at bay :-)
Celtic have an annoying habit of selling our best players for a third of their real value.
Goooooood Morning CQN – ???????
Firstly WiTS & Connaire – heartfelt sympathy on your Families loss,
May they both Rest In Peace
Now – can’t wait until Everton bid for Keiran’s Left peg, £25m is not bad for his right ?
Not sure how this will go down on his wee pal Paddybhoy, who wants back permanently ?
With regards Boyata, not sure he will be returning after World Cup? His agent not wanting to talk with Celtic, and been the case this past few months, let’s get best price if not wanted no to d any deal
Hail Hail
NorrieM
Agreed about Boyata. And I’m confident Brendan will have a contingency in place, should as seems likely Boyata will head for the dosh.
With the amounts accrued it’ll be excellent business.
BIGCUPWINNERS
Haw,you. The discerning Ayrshire curry team demand only the finest succulent lamb.
Erm,ooooer,how does that chicken taste,mate?

Get the paint brush ooot and see if you can paint us a new left back, right back, centre half etc ??
BCW…so, how long does it take for the paint to dry? If you could perhaps give us a chronological run-down from wet to bone dry…and talking about bones…………
