My expectation is Den Bosch will be better than an equivalent second-tier Scottish team (any of whom would give us a game on a summer evening like tonight), so they will hopefully present a suitable challenge to help stretch the legs.
Most attention will focus on Dedryck Boyata, but no matter if he looks great, or lousy, you will learn nothing of his abilities tonight. For Dedryck the objective is to get the limbs and lungs moving, just as with his new team-mates.
I hear Saidy Janko (19) was spotted walking into Ross Hall Hospital this morning. Although known as a right back, Saidy can apparently play right side of central midfield and as a winger. While he’ll be the fourth right back in the first team squad, positional definitions aren’t what they used to be. At Celtic in particular, there’s often little difference between a full back and a winger (the former can hopefully tackle, the latter, less so). They both have a responsibility to make runs into the opposition box, and to track back and defend.
Reports this morning that Dundee United have agreed a £1m fee for Nadir Ciftci with Gary Caldwell’s Wigan will be more palatable to United fans than seeing another player agree terms with direct rivals Celtic. The fee agreed is within Celtic’s grasp, should they be sufficiently motivated to move for the player. After a rising through the ranks, Wigan have endured two relegations in recent years.
They still have Premier League parachute payments coming in, which explains the seven figure bid. It remains to be seen what Dave Whelan’s 23-year-old grandson makes of the opportunity, now he’s in day-to-day control. There’s an old Dutch proverb about families with money going from clogs and back to clogs within three generations.

He would be well down the pecking order there anyway.
I’ve always said that football is just hentertainment …
Bawsman,
It is worth every penny and more. I have been a subscriber for the last 3 years. the first year was not so good with quality.
Now I can not imagine not having it. Quite a few games you can only see on CVT other games I can re-watch or watch first time at leisure after 10pm and mostly 12pm on the day the match was played.
I would imagine for those living outside UK and Ireland it is even a better value as they could watch the game live.

I have just read the onfieldsofgreen article
To cure boredom in my working absence, I tried to look at South African / African richest people list as a worth value
I think they need to go back and look at people’s alleged values in SA, the list are generally given in either $ or Rand – I looked at top 100 as total value, which I could only find in $ value
Any value then needs converted to £
Is his or his daughters alleged value then in $ needs converting at just over 1.5 or in South African rand which is currently just over 19 to the £
I could not find either with an alleged fortune near £50m, it could all be hidden in Sevco mind :-))
Hail Hail
Hail Hail
Aye but where will Saidy be in the pecking order? I reckon Lustig will still rule the roost at RB. He might ruffle a few feathers though!
Bawsman- good man you will not regret it.
As we speak
Yolks in she’ll suits are scrambling about for a spare waiting room perch at Ross Hall…
Signing a young starlet from Manchester United would definitely be a coop.

When I swan down Maryhill Rd wearing the new away top and shorts.
I will most likely pass by loads of similarly attired gentlemen.
With no zombies in sight….they would be too dazzled by the Green to show their faces.
As for needles….that’s so nineties don’t you know, I mean even the elephant and bugle is getting a bourgeois makeover, much hilarity will ensue on that one.
Maryhill is changing.

Apologies if I put that comment in a way that could be misunderstood.
The third strip is an abomination. The needles would be through my eyes. Not my veins.
Shifty wisnae coming cos Peter needs to feather his nest, not spends it on fowlers such as him…
..and anyway is Ciftci not up in front of the beaks soon?

Good for you.
Another way to look at subscribing to Celtic TV in the UK apart from the benefit of listening to the likes of Tom Boyd commentating on audio on all matches, thus swapping msm bias for Celtic bias is that should you perchance with
If we want Ciftci, we’re going to have to pluck him from United …

Perchance happen to be catching games live visually using streams and Kodi, you will still nevertheless be contributing to putting a team in the park for you and fellow Tims to enjoy.
I contributed for a number of years as a matter of conscience as it was the only way open to me at the time to put some money in.
Best money i’ve ever spent is on CTV every year.
NO-ONE abroad should be without it.

It’s just water off a duck’s back as far as PL is concerned.

I saw a post from you a few days ago suggesting that we embarked on a long term plan to produce star players in several decades time through a complicated and expensive fertility programme.
That’s all right for you but most of us don’t have several decades to wait.
Would it not be better to fund a really nice night out for Mr and Mrs Messi with a security taken on the progeny of the evening? Either the first team or our ladies team would welcome the addition and it would likely be ready within 2 decades.
Sky Sports sources claim Stoke have agreed a fee of £12m to sign Xherdan Shaqiri, 23, from Inter Milan.
In the crazy world of inflated transfer fees and wages that looks great value for money.

…. walkingthe 6yr old to school this morning (sporting the “Craig Gordon” keepers top he got for his birthday)
Daaaaaddddd.
Yes?
Is Messi the best player in the world.
Right now, son. He probably is.
But in a few years time, when you’re a big boy. It’ll be somebody else
…… pause …… as a pensive look speads accross his wee face
That’ll be ME, Dad !!!!!!!
Ahhhh the innocence of Youth.

Who was this ghuy ?
Brentford have confirmed that a 24-year-old Scot will be their new head of football operations.
Robert Rowan, who has worked for Celtic as well as both the Scottish and Swedish FAs, only joined the club in October after a stint at Stenhousemuir.
He will work with new co-directors of football Rasmus Ankersen and Phil Giles and with head of football philosophy and player development Flemming Pedersen at the Championship club.
Marinus Dijkhuizen was appointed head coach in May, replacing Mark Warburton, who guided the London club to the play-offs last term.
