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.

Bada Bing , I hope you put that bet on re Lichsteiner getting booked. He should have been booked 5 minutes ago for feigning injury. When the ref waved play on, he got ack on his feet.

I don’t want to fall out with you, but I didn’t know you hadn’t a sense of smell.The Parkhead Jungle was the worst place to stand, the place stunk of urine, and you can get pissed on, as I have been, it became the only place I wouldn’t go into after getting a washing down, my mammy complained about the smell when I got home after a game.
who would win a fight between
‘He felt contact and had the right to go down’ and
‘there wasn’t enough contact he should be stronger than that’
the cuckoo clock isnt actually swiss you know
Is there a prize?
Germany beaten
Argentina drawing
Brazil struggling
This could open the door for…
Tunisia

Yes there is a prize
A months supply of cappucino vouchers for the new Fans Cafe

Cannae wait☕️
OLDTIM67,
You may well be right but I can count on the fingers of 1 hand the number of times I sat in the old stand. I did go quite a few times to the old enclosure but mostly I stood in the Jungle (or the Hayshed, as my Dad has always called it) and for a long time around about where he stood: towards the back and near the middle.
PCS
I used to stand in the old jungle – rebels against the board they were not
Lichtstiener and Pepe are an embarassment to football, shameless cheats
ALMORE.
I forgot to thank you for the bottle of Gin, haven’t tasted it yet But it looks a great bottle, with the white corded dress wrapped around it, I’ll probably have a sup on Saturday at our Gala day. Thanks again.

The bygone days of yore you yearn for were played out under the watch of a board who were the biggest thieves in Celtic history.
You seemed happy with your lot back then, so what’s happened?
Back the players on the pitch.
Whether anything will ever come in respect of justice remains to be seen, but regardless of that, leave us who wish to watch our team on the pitch to do just that whilst you stay outside the tent pishing in.
What point is there to your inane shite being spouted day in day out?
All the signs of a cry for attention / help if you ask me.
Aff oot….
Germany lost;))) Oh dear:))
Big McGarvey????
Big McGarvey:))
Nurse sedate the patient afore ah pish oan him, he seems to respond to that treatment!
TWISTS N TURNS.
Well said.The board, before McCann took over, was hell bent on closing Celtic Park,thank God that McCann arrived on the scene or Celtic Park may no longer be there.
OLDTIM67,
Have to agree with you about Fergus. The old board brought us to the brink to their eternal shame.
Surely its England’s for the taking now ????????
TNT
We won the big cup in spite of the board at that time
Good Evening Bhoys & Ghirls
I hope this evening finds you all well?
Caityrollercoaster in Zante at mo on first holiday without parents. Mrs CRC worrying as a parent does! But seemingly all going well with paint parties, boat parties and even more parties etc,
I’m cool, as TommyTwistsTommyTurns amd MrsTTTT in next town on look out for me :-)
Don’t forget Sat 30th June for a lunch time Glasgow meet up for Lionroars belated 60th party and lots of beers. If you want to come along ( go on, you know you want too!) drop me an email at cqnpredictor@gmail.com
Lunch at 1pm and then more beers from 3pm. You choose?

It’s for them to lose now

How are you? I tried phoning you so many times but clearly got an old number. I got your kind table invite ( through BT) but was unable to travel up.
Only 2 weeks more and I’m joining you in the land of retirement, at least temporarily.
I’ve been asked to start a new company up in Scotland for an American company so I’ll be on the search for premises for that after I’ve taken a break.
I’ve taken my membership out at Hamilton and Musselburgh so I’ll be dragging you along to a meeting soon enough.
Still got my seats at CP too so I’ll no doubt catch up with you there as well.
I hope you’re keeping ok and look forward to catching up.
So far the World Cup has highlighted to me that there is too much fitba being played .
With the exception of Ronaldo , all the so called top players look jaded or injured… no spark.
No coincidence they all play in Europe and have probably played 55-60 games this season

Surely FIFA should give them the trophy now
Gene
Indeed we did.
I stood in the same jungle as Kev for a long number of years.
Not one, not a single one, has stopped backing the team though many are unhappy with the board.
I respect his choice to stay away but I’m sick to the back teeth of him telling me and others to stay away from CP.
*I mean not one of my friends who stood alongside me in the jungle!
PARKHEADCUMSALFORD.
It was touch and go until Fergus came along and saved the Day.
By the way, I stood in the Jungle in the section nearest the Rangers end, and it really did stink of piss.
Twists
I might nip over for a summers evening meeting at Hamilton

You realise you are competing with Gerry Cinnamon, The Courteeners and Liam Gallagher, who are playing Glasgow Green June 30th.
