Celtic have activated a clause in their loan deal for Odsonne Edouard (20) with Paris Saint-Germain to sign the player on a four-year permanent contract. The deal will cost the club an initial £4.5m but the add-ons which follow will soon make the deal the club’s highest transfer fee paid.
To give some perspective, Celtic last broke their transfer fee record with the £6m purchase of Neil Lennon in 2000.
Watching Odsonne develop during his loan period has been an education. Brendan Rodgers put Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths on the bench to allow Odsonne the game time he needed to grow. His early-season rustiness was history by March, when he came off the bench when Celtic were down to 10 men at Ibrox, brushed aside what defences there was, to score a memorable winner.
The last player to match our record transfer fee was John Hartson in 2001. Like John then, Odsonne is third choice striker, so the work does not stop here.
Great business, well done all concerned.

Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata hold out against Teutonic Knights
But not such a great finish.

Well done Mexico, i wasn’t that bothered about who won but my feck how pundits loved it.
They’ve built a wall, the Mexicans, and they making Germany pay for it
Next up Brazil v Switzerland. Interested to see how Shaer, Swiss centre half linked with move to us, gets on against Jesus, Coutinho and The Brazilian Nacho Novo.
Ay caramba!

Pancho Villa was born on June 5th. So was James Connolly, Kieran Tierney and myself. Illustrious conpany.

Dunky
ffs…you missed oot the Pope and Henrik :O)
Evening folks….just a quick one wae a wee request if that’s all right.
I got back frae my first summer run along the Clyde just before the Costa Rica v Serbia game and my body was screaming for nutrition.
I slabbered a little as I looked at the chicken and vegetable curry with fried rice which steamed in anticipation of my fork when I suddenly thought….
“I wonder what the calorific value and nutritional content of this culinary extravaganza is?”
So I logged into three expert websites to get the detail.
Well, you could have knocked me down wae a sledgehammer.
Every one of them announced as I logged in “We use Cookies’.
Now I tried to reject their use of cookies but they wouldn’t let me.
I have no way of knowing now what the calorie content is once cookies aren’t used.
I wonder if I should write directly to them for the information or just accept that if I have a curry I will have to eat a couple of cookies as well.
Thanks for your help.
Hail Hail

You won’t see this on many Celtic forums
NeymarCSC …. I think the wee man is a fitba genius :-)
GFTB
no doubting Neymars footballing ability
GFTB
Cannae go Neymar.
Go Shakiri go!
Two of the most annoying players we have come up against Europe over the last 6 years come up against each other, Neymark and Lichsteiner.
My hope is Lichsteiner roughs up Neymark , Neymark retaliates and both get sent off. It wont happen but woud be great if it did.
Dallas
Love your train of thought there. Hahaha
DALLASDALLASDALLAS
That’s thinking,bud. Like it.
Wits
I take it as a compliment to our fans at Celtic Park that he tries his damndest against us :-)
Don’t get me wrong can’t stand the wee bam against us but love him when he concentrates on the fitba
Dallas
Best of luck to young Dallas the morra in his big step into the real world with his apprenticeship delighted he is now free Saturday & Sunday to follow his team without having to swap shifts
Hail Hail
I was hoping thon swiss animal and thon diving wee Brazilian would both go full pelt into each other, and both get carried aff and out for the rest of the tournament..
Delaney’s and Bobby, I thought someone else would have come up with that scenario with those two runts.
Gerry, thanks . He’s not starting until the 25th now. His bosses in his part time job are being awkward , that’s me being diplomatic, with regard to him cutting down to one shift until he ges on holiday in 3 weeks time. He has helped them out plenty when asked to extra hours but the good will is not being reciprocated.
Neymark with a Flock of Seagulls type Barnet. ,
Paul67 et al
Wee Neymar can start his World Cup in the knowledge that our own midfield maestro, Di Brooni, is conspicuous by his absence. Ney chance then of the Broon snapping at his heels, booting him up the backside or even worse giving him the ol’ stareheid.
Have to agree on the two sportsmen mentioned earlier
Only Ramos missing from the full set
Hunnic tendency’s abound
OMG
Is THAT the goal of the tournament so far? Brilliant Coutinho.
Reminiscent of early Scott Sinclair :-)
Great win for the San Patricios earlier
7/2, should have been 1/20
The thug Lichsteiner gets a deserved booking for throtling Neymar.
