Camilo Duran (24) joined the campaign for six-in-a-row this morning and is the most welcome news Celtic have had since the epochal events of May. It has been eight weeks since he played, but he is young and does not look to be carrying much in the way of excess timber, so the three-week run up to our opening fixture of the campaign should be enough to get ready.
Champions League goals last term against Benfica, Ajax, Eintracht and Newcastle raised his profile. By contrast, he scored in only six Azerbaijani league games (10 goals in total), as Qarabag lost only their second title in 13 years.
Every transfer is a risk and this looks like the right level of risk for Celtic. We are never going to acquire a player who has consistently established his credentials, we need to select from a small sample of positive signs. The player has shown what he can achieve at the top level, it is now up to the club to develop him.
Welcome to Celtic, Camilo.

Devlin now signed for the huns too. Fantastic news. Recreating Hertz seems to be the plan there. 😭😭😭

Charlie Gallacher , somewhat underrated but not by me . Great memories of him when Da first started taking me to see the ‘big team’at CP.
As for Packy Bonnar , he was obviously not in the queue when the self awareness and moral compass rations were being dished out .
Charlie Gallagher: as I ‘ve said more than once, my all-time favourite player. Class. 2 of his corners (met by Billy’s head) resulted in 2 of the most important goals in my time supporting Celtic.
May he rest in peace.
If this is true then no wonder German and Italian football is so poor these days………
Bologna, Lazio & Frankfurt interested in Barron
Latest from Sky Sports News’ Anthony Joseph:
Bologna, Lazio and Eintracht Frankfurt have all expressed an interest in Rangers midfielder Connor Barron. The Scotland international, 23, has two years left on his contract at Ibrox.

Maybe these Italian clubs need a scarecrow for their vineyards .
Italy not qualifying for 3 World cups in a row backs that up
Compare and contrast to Seie A in the 80s and 90s where winning the title was more i prestigious t than winning the European cup/ champions League

Correct the 1965 final was the charlie gallagher final. He made all 3 goals.
Good afternoon ya bunch of layabouts.

😃 😀 😄
Charlie Gallagher’s corners, first against Dunfermline in the Cup Final and two years later in the dying embers of the Vojvodina game remain unforgettable.
I also remember a game against a good Kilmarnock side in 1965, I think. Celtic were two down with about twenty minutes left. The equaliser arrived very late on then the ball broke to Charlie. His twenty-five yard shot flew past the keeper and into the net. Charlie’s repertoire wasn’t confined to corner kicks.
True re Italian football, given the accolades Ferguson gets,I think he’s totally useless

That’s my other abiding memory of Charlie , his rocket of a shot . As a young kid I couldn’t quite believe that somebody could hit the ball that hard!

⚪️⚫️🏴 Excl: Fulham agree deal to sign 16-year-old talented winger Erskine Rennie from Celtic.
Rennie picked #FFC ahead of a number of English and European clubs and will join on a long-term contract.
What’s the story with Auroujo does anybody know please
kingLUBO
KL- Aroujo being an EPL player would be on a minimum 35-40 k a week, so don’t think he’s an option unfortunately

*The first equalizer on that magical April day in the hampden sun I was a couple of rows back fae some Dumbarton Bhoys, one of them shouted shoot when Charlie was on the ball, one of his mates replied and see if he does just watch it go, right on cue as wee ten thirty was lying in the back of the net receiving all the platitudes fae his team mates and we were jumping up and down on the terracing the bar was still bouncing.

*and before anyone jumps in here and blames the board, this is all down to a rag and bone man and naesurname as they both engineered the withdrawal from the reserve league follow followed by all their acolytes out there under the pretense that we were going for a reserve NIAR but truthfully they were pink lint trying tae emulate the Big Mhan with the Big Cup and surpassing him with a lying cheating corrupt TIAR which thanks tae WTT NEVER happened

World Cup 2026: How Norway built their golden generation
BBC
https://www.bbc.co.uk › sport › football › articles
10 hours ago — Artificial turf, investment from gambling and a coaching revolution based on collaboration over egos help Norway build a golden generation …
However, they are not the only successful products of the Norwegian youth system. Of their 26-man World Cup squad, 17 play in Europe’s top four leagues – the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A.
The majority were mentored in Norway’s national youth football training system, the National Team School (NTS), which was established in 2013.
These talented youth players have agents at 13/14, before they reach 16 the agent, player and family have selected the pathway, it is mostly about money and opportunity, Celtic are in a race they can’t win
The top clubs in the EPL use modern scouting/recruiting utilising the best analytical tools to scout potential even the Norway success story illustrates 17 players from 26 squad earn living outside Norway, Celtic and the rest of Scottish clubs can’t keep talent in Scotland.
I certainly wouldn’t blame the club

South Africa World Cup midfielder Adams dies aged 25
South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams has died at the age of 25, just weeks after featuring for his country at the World Cup.
Adams featured in all three of South Africa’s group games at the tournament, where they reached the knockout stages before losing to co-hosts Canada in the round of 32.
“It is with profound shock and a heavy heart that I have learnt of the passing of Jayden Adams,” South Africa’s minister of sport, arts and culture Gayton McKenzie said, in a statement.
“South African football has lost one of its brightest young talents, and our nation mourns alongside his family, his team-mates and the millions of supporters who watched him grow from a promising academy prospect into a full Bafana Bafana international.”
Police in South Africa said they had opened an investigation after the body of a 25-year-old man was found at a house in Schotschekloof, a suburb in central Cape Town, on Saturday morning.
McKenzie added: “The cause of Jayden’s passing has not yet been confirmed, and I wish to appeal to members of the media and the public to exercise restraint and compassion, and to refrain from speculation, while his family and Mamelodi Sundowns are given the space and privacy they need at this incredibly difficult time.
“Any official information will be communicated by the appropriate parties in due course.”
Adams started in the 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic in Group A despite learning that his grandmother had passed away only hours before kick-off.
The South African Football Players Union said it was “devastated by the untimely passing” of Adams who made his debut for his country in 2022.
“Jayden had only recently represented South Africa at the 2026 World Cup, carrying the hopes of the nation with pride, courage and distinction.
“His passing is an immeasurable loss to his family, team-mates, clubs, the football fraternity and the country at large.
“South African football has lost a gifted player, a proud servant of the game and a young life that still had so much to offer.”
Adams started his career at Stellenbosch FC, before moving to Mamelodi Sundowns in January 2025, where he won league and African Champions League titles.
He was part of the South Africa squad that reached the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals before being called up to Hugo Broos’ squad for the World Cup, where the team made history in reaching the knockout stages of the competition for the first time.
“It’s so incredibly sad to hear that South Africa midfielder Jayden Adams has passed away just weeks after featuring in his nation’s historic Fifa World Cup campaign,” Fifa president Gianni Infantino said.
“My thoughts and condolences, as well as those of everyone at Fifa and the global football community, are with his family, friends and team-mates. The Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns star will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.”

When they say “refrain from speculation” and on the BBC pro EVERY Genocide’s own website as well, usually means ‘died suddenly’ from the side effects of the toxic bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. 👀
Hopefully not, but….

Here is a link to the other article I mentioned that attempts to make UEFA Simple.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SEk-z4Zrss6f0sJn-Cs8qhtaEzPLDUob/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107947982974245186134&rtpof=true&sd=true
I think UEFA FSR has changed the financial question Celtic supporters should be asking.
It is no longer:
“How much cash does Celtic have in the bank?”
It is:
“How much of Celtic’s permitted Squad Cost Ratio capacity is the club choosing to use?”
It is a short, regulation-free explanation using a simple analogy that anyone can understand.
I’d be interested in your and others’ thoughts having read it
Watched EKFC give the Pars the complete run around this afternoon, Lenny didnt look to pleased at the end , come to thing about it he didn’t too happy at the start.
EK keeping the ball on the deck , playing out from the back was exceptional, and the wee Libyan bloke in midfield was excellent.

Thanks for info and work on this. Money in bank is really yesterday’s news when discussing transfer budget as per your detail on FSR requirements. Cash in bank is a squirrel used bythe Board so would be good to hear an answer from them on the question you have set.
Well done for breaking this down into a granular level.
