Right from the off, Celtic knew there was a chance Newco would pull out of the Sydney Super Cup. We negotiated a better package, the right to announce the tour and to call it the Ange Homecoming Tour. Newco were fully occupied with the prospect of a couple of million landing in the bank, knowing nothing about their commercial value, compared to Celtic.
When the league breaks for the World Cup, Ange Postecoglou will head home for the first time in three years. It is an opportunity for Celtic to garner support in an important foreign market.
Emigration from Scotland to America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand dropped off in recent decades. As a consequence, a large portion of Celtic supporters in these markets moved there over 30 years ago. They are older and are not a market that will foster support too far into the future. Despite having an Australian legend as manager, without some work, our commercial prospects there diminishing.
Competing for eyeballs outside the almighty EPL is difficult, but the Almighty has given us a ladder. We have a high-profile event taking place in Australia in five months, set to generate future dollars and fans. We also have a high profile in Japan, a market I see little effort put into, outside of social media. A 2023 Japanese tour is needed.

I’d be astounded, if we go into the CL, with a Starfelt/ CCV central defense

I would suggest that you are — like many on here — middle income.
Middle class salary / career / lifestyle.
Working class background / belief system.
That’s just typical of you.
Camusbhoy just happened to mention that he lives in Milngavie and suddenly you have his whole life and his whole personality mapped out.
You really are a narcissistic cretin.
@H..went up with wee Roxy to the course. it’s a wonderful view…

My Louisville lass has never been up the West Coast so I have a wee trip from Glasgow to Fort William then across to Mallaig and on to Skye. Might also try and sneak in the Isle of Lewis to show her my childhood beaches, the stones etc.
Quality Aipple,
That’s a lovely drive,your heading on,up loch lomondside,over Rannoch Moor,thro stunning Glencoe and onto Fort William.i guess your daughter is a reader(Harry potter) going past/over the Glenfinnan viaduct,or toddle down to ‘Charlie’s monument were the standard was raised.The sands at Morar/Arisaig is a stunning beach with its white sand.
If you are thinking of going via train over the viaduct I would advise pre booking as it is hugely popular.
Enjoy and mind shout the game your goin to via Fairhill bhoy.

St Tams – I’ll be astounded if we don’t 😉
For the record I rate Starfelt, sometimes gets a bit rattled but he never hides, plus he carries & distributes the ball better than CCV, which is important to our style of play. However this isn’t based on my opinion of Starfelt, BSR stated it pretty well that Celtic just aren’t in the habit of replacing multi-million pound centre-backs after just one season. Especially when every indicator suggests they were highly regarded by the manager and formed a successful partnership, games played, goals conceded etc.

I’m on the other side of the river and was looking for them but didn’t see them.
Were they in a different location from usual?
I normally always have a look across from the sea front when out walking.

“A 2023 Japanese tour is needed”.
If we automatically qualify for the Champions League group stages then yes.
Otherwise no.
Without any science whatsoever to back me up ?
Transcontinental travel then games (even at low intensity) then travel home leaves players looking jaded for weeks ….
… at the precise point in the season when we want to project and convey energy, freshness and tip top conditioning.
…………………………………………
I agree, B2B
Good afternoon all of you lovely Tims from downtown Ruglen. Mostly hun free so far but I’ve spotted a few walking like woodentops on Main Street. No wires attached.
Petec, if you want to meet up with the lads, anytime at all let me know. 3 years since Dumbarton Harp and Garry and Gordy. 👍

Did you say hello, to VP and G64?😜
I thought we had excellent forward play the other night. Hatate is gonnae be an Unreal Tournament player and Alexandro (from first glimpses) is gonnae have any opposition Midfielder/Defender Quake in his boots.
Bigger, Bettah cos we wullnae stop.

BRRB,
Ta Bro, will give you a shout, dinnae know where GordyBhoy is these Davie Haze. :)
Yeah Sounds Good.
That young fella Larsson will certainly shift a few bits of merchandise I’d imagine.
Beyond the obvious sentiment there was a bit of analytics that suggests he would actually be a great fit for Angeball.
Larsson > Kyogo > Jota front three anyone
Maeda > GG > Abada your 2nd half subs ?
Oh yes csc

My Louisville lass is my wife, sorry! Everything booked now bar the train journey. Thanks for reminder, will do so this weekend. It is so cool watching her check out tourist guides and Youtube videos, she is proper excited.
I need to make a charitable donation in FairhillBhoy’s name this weekend for his wonderful gesture. Need to ping MARSAPA to see if he can meet on game day. Giddy to see my family but heading to Celtic Park with good lady will be a goosebumps tear jerker for me.
Hearts game on Saturday 20th August at 3pm.

Context my boy / context.
More a comment about current class structures in general.
More a comment to his mum’s viewpoint — if you can’t afford to stop working then you are working class no matter the car in the driveway.
Too true unfortunately.
So how about you play nice?

When you said “Pass the Acid Test” I almost expected The Shamen Phorward, I think.
BRRB,
I huvnae spoke to GerryBhoy but a Session in a Coatbridge pub on the 6th of August sounds alright to me, only fair as me and Gerry huvnae met yet.
Lets see if it will Fly.

It epitomises a really Good DJ set where the DJ’s taking you on a journey. Taking you High and taking you down so you can get to sleep. :))
There’s a 6 minute 46 second interview AP gave to Sly Sports on my You Tube feed.
I appreciate there are contractual obligations to talk to them, Shorty and the SMSM during the season, but is that the case for pre-season friendlies/tours?
Talk about inviting foxes in to a hen house. Celtic should talk to these people only if it’s strictly necessary.
They are no friends ours.

Surprised they didn’t also ‘snap up’ Jack Wilshire. Fits the Lundstrum midfield thug model.
