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.

Kikinthenakas
A game worthy of the final!
The final will possibly end goaless and go to the lottery of penalties.
HH!!
Maybe THAT was the best goal. What a player.
That Ronaldo player that bought me a drink in his boozer in Lisbon last year, is no a bad player. Wow
Being. Celtic supporter it’s strange to see a goal direct from a free kick. It’s been so long!!
Big game player!
All Portugal now
That’s what he can do on the day he gets a two year suspended jail sentence.
he was a diving show pony when he was younger…. but CR has developed into one of the greatest players ever …. as SP says…. big games, and he seems to be at his best …
Full time 3-3.Brilliant game.
Quite possibly the game of this or any tournament. Football as it should be played. Best game I have enjoyed where Celtic weren’t involved.
Great game enjoyed every minute
Fantastic Friday night fitba.
Wee Nacho MacGregor?
Gene……here’s a clue
The misunderstood CQNer
“Hurrumph”
“Jist git yer nose oot o’ that screen, ye’ve been stuck on there aw night
An’ here’s me stretched oot feeling keen, for sore eyes I’m a sight
Wae Negligee that’s sheer an’ hugs each contour that I’ve got
Come on an’ have just wan wee look, oh boy ah’ll make ye hot.”.
“Hurrumph…….hurrumph”
“I hear you dear I’ll not be long, just need to post this gem
An interloper’s been unmasked, he’s spouting loads of phlegm
‘See you ya bam ye talk pure keech, yer just a hurtin hun
Ye cannae spell, ye cannae parse, ah’ve got ye on the run.’”
“Hurrumph……hurrumph……..hurrumph”
“Will ye leave that bliddy screen alone, stop pressin that f 5
Let’s rumble on the floor again, ma passion’s still alive
Imagine whit I’d do fur you, and where ma teeth would sink
A smile, a glance, a giggle, wow!, a nod and then a wink.”
“Cough ..Hurrumph… hurrumph”
“Ah’m no’ a hun”, “ye ur”, “ah’m no,” “ur so”!
“season ticket holder” “whit section, an’ whit row?”
“412, row B, seat 9” “whit? Yer next tae me?”
“is that you Da? How’s ma maw?” “she’s pittin oot ma tea?”
Sound of sawn-off double barrelled shot-gun getting cocked.!!!
“If you don’t get yer erse in gear, I’ll likely swing fur you
It’s Celtic this and Celtic that, ma face will turn huns’ blue
C’mon ‘ya bam’, ah really need you over here tae give,
A bit o’slap an’ tickle, your choice ‘tae die or live’”
I’m all done now my fairy queen, I’ve only eyes for you
It’s time to get down to the biz, it’s time to bill an’ coo
An’ here’s a present just for you, you’ll never guess I bet
“A web enabled cam to post our passion on the net.”
B A N G!!!!!
B A N G!!!!! (Just to make sure)
Hail Hail

The Man U goalie selt the jerseys. Fud
Welcome French Eddie I hope you set scoreing records while playig for the hoops.One thing that concerns me a litte is that if Dembele stays which there is a fair chance he will that it may spell the end at Parkhead for Skippy which for me would be a real pity. There are lots of rumours going around that John MGinn will come in to replace Stuart Armstrong and that after that there will be one more signing before the window closes. H.H.
Wonder who Daily Record will pluck from game tonight and link with Dustin Gee revoloution
Matt. That was funny,
An absolute treat of a game.A packed beach bar on the outskirts of Sciacca stood and applauded at full time
