I know we all liked big Erik. He brought instant calm to Ronny Delia’s team when he arrived two years ago today. But, while 2016 started authoritatively for the central defender, it ended with him looking pensive and out of his depth at Ibrox, albeit in a Celtic win.
2017 has been largely forgettable for the player. This season has effectively been a write-off for him, after an injury in the Champions League qualifiers. It would have been better for all if he got a permanent deal elsewhere but at least a loan return to Midtjylland will afford him time to regain his confidence, hopefully leading to a new deal elsewhere in the summer.
I am sure we are still looking at the central defensive space for this month. There could be more in and out.
NEW CQN PODCAST OUT NOW FEATURING TOMMY SHERIDAN
A Celtic State of Mind presents its 30th instalment of insightful discussion around the culture of Celtic Football Club, the city of Glasgow, and fans of the reigning treble-winning Scottish champions.
Kevin Graham is joined by Scotty Alcroft to interview Scottish pro-independence politician, Tommy Sheridan, at The Penalty Spot in Glasgow.
The interview took place as part of A Celtic State of Mind’s first live event – Five-a-sides at The Penalty Spot – and, as such, there is some background noise (including mobile interference – apologies) from the audience.
The other voice you may hear throughout this episode is that of former Celtic striker, Frank McGarvey, who is a friend of Tommy’s, and who was also interviewed separately that day for a future show.
You are sure to enjoy Tommy’s eclectic input, as he discusses everything from Catalan independence to Coolio, with a constant undercurrent of that thing called Celtic.

BIGJIMMY
Hendo at over 40% the last fortnight. Not allowing for multiple runners in the same race. That’s good going by any standards.
Be lucky!
Jimmy
Mate had lucky15 up on Saturday
Last winner was Nicholson’s and he won over £1200.
Bet next 4 winners also, one of those days where everything he bet came in…
BT,
Cheers mate….but you won’t be saying that if they all get gubbed LOL ?

BLANTYRETIM
My mate didn’t make it to the pub yesterday-he had his hearing!!! I hope it went well,at least an undefined result so he can fight another day.
Dunno how he got on,but will let you know.
BT…Tell yr mate that I want to hing aboot with him !
HH
BLANTYRETIM
That’s some tipping from yer pal. I hope the bookies don’t see it again.
In an ideal betting world..it would be great if ALL of Henderson’s horse won, and wherever he has TWO in a race, then they DEAD HEAT ?
LOL
HH
Jimmy BMCUW
As you both know it doesn’t happen very often
Told him to take the £1k out of his account and book a holiday for him and his Mrs.

Dear Mum
Very nice words thoughtfully written, yet sadly ignored on here last night.
Hail Hail.
Very Braw indeed.
CELTIC FC,
I simply do NOT understand anyone whp proclaims to be a Celtic supporter, and then just CONSTANTLY bad mouths Celtic on here and/or in the stands ?
IF Anything annoyed me that much I would for the off, in fact I would make sure that I was AFF OOT Forever.
It’s like having a girlfriend that you don’t really like, don’t complain about the poor Ghirl…just let her go…feckin SIMPLES.
I also take great offence to some posters on here who when complaining every feckin day about Celtic, also choose to name call other Celtic supporters, who hold different views.
These CHUMPS should just turn up in the BV before or after games, or appear at ANY of the Hoots…and then feel free to try and insult me and others who DO support Celtic ?
Its that feckin SIMPLE,
BIG JIMMY on 17TH JANUARY 2018 7:53 AM
Your posts are never tedious mate. I dont bet much but may have a wee flutter today, HH.
VT…I would tell your mate
just to buy me lots and lots of lovely BEER !
Feck the holiday.
LOL
HH
He kept the drink flowing on Saturday Jimmy
BARNEY,
My racing posts last Saturday were called “TEDIOUS , BORING etc.
This was AFTER I was lucky enough to have 8 Winners.
Again, if my horse racing posts are tedious and boring, then I would then insist that the MODS on here do NOT ALLOW ( or have a separate thread) for other topics on here that I find feckin ” TEDIOUS and BORING”….and there are MANY posts and issues on here that a MORE than just Tedious and Boring IMO, but as of yet I do NOT ask the MODS to post those posts on a different thread…I simply scroll past…SIMPLES !
No offence but, those that constantly complain about
Celtic etc…should have their very own CHUMP CELTIC COMPLAINS CHAPTERS/THREADS on here, and save the rest of us from being bored to feck each and every day…SIMPLES !
Cheers BARNEY mate
HH
VT ???…..BT…the BLANTYRE Fella

I refrained from spending some of my winnings until Monday…when I went to the pub as I was STILL trying to recover from flu.
So I was a good Bhoy for nearly 48 hours
I deserve a beer for being good ?
HH
BJ, wire in mate, beer tastes so much better when a bookie is paying for it. ;-)
BIGJIMMY
Might be an idea when you get a decent lift to take,say,20% in cash,and ask for the balance to be placed on your bank card.
Works for me-on the odd occasion nowadays when I actually win-because by the time the winners have come in,my judgement is likely to be somewhat impaired(!)
BARNEY67
Betcha,for sure!!!
Hamiltontim replies. Neil Bibby (labour) Maurice Golden (Tory) Ross Greer ( greens) all voting to repeal the act. Gil Paterson ( snp) same reply as others party line job. Ken McIntosh abstain due to position in house.
Keep up the good work.

Good to see you back on,mate. Hope everything’s fine and dandy with you and yours.
HH
To fitba matters, as we approach the 2nd half of the season, the really important bit. I hope we can now push on and achieve a 2nd treble and gain some respectable results in the Europa Cup. I feel our reputation has been damaged in Europe with some of the drubbings we got in the CL. Indeed I’d sacrifice the SC for a decent Europa run. The League title MUST remain the top priority though.
I expect Aberdeen to push on now that they got the spectre of their manager jumping ship off their backs, and believe me it did affect them. NL has a job to do at Hibs he must not allow McGinn to leave in this window, even to us.( we’ll have him in the summer)
Expect Clarke to do well at Killie. and Murtiniho to flop massively.
Looking forward to it. HH

Just logging on and reading back.
I echo that emotion. Touching and braw in equal measure my Fhriend.

As a staunch Presbyterian I would like to object in the strongest possible terms about posters encouraging people to bet on horses.
Its devils work.
Calvin and Knox died to free us from this papish papery.
That said Johnson and Henderson are good staunch names.
Maybe a fiver each way so
BIGJIMMY
See if you can pick the winner from the seven runners just as they hit the bend!

Oh and a player i’ve found a dislike for Jason Cummings, hope he falls flat on his arse at Sevco. Prick.

Some posts deserve a mention, must just have got missed in the moment.
It was a v touching piece.

BARNEY67
Totally agree with you about Cummings i have taken an instant dislike to him ! Roger Hunnah doing his best to compare him to Griffiths today !
PARK ROAD 67 on 17TH JANUARY 2018 9:27 AM
He couldn’t lace Griffs boots mate. But he’s a legend in his own mind.
The only comparison between the Griffalo and Cummings are they both played for Hibs and Cummings misses as many chances as Leigh scores. Cummings possibly also likes Tunnocks Teacakes but this would need to be confirmed.
CORKCELT on 16TH JANUARY 2018 4:37 PM
Didn’t know You were a Cork Bhoy Sean, where in Cork are you from.
I’m originally from the City, Wilton to be precise not too far from University Hospital.
A very long time since I left Cork but I’m still a Rebel to the core.
Apologise for the delay in response.
I was born in the university hospital (was still called the Cork regional Hospital at that point. Actually grew up in central Scotland but to a “VERY CORK” family and was given “VERY CORK” upbringing which I am sure you will understand what I am referring too. Despite growing up in Scotland I very much still class myself as a Cork Bhoy and look on Cork as home. I enjoy my trips turners cross to watch City. Looking forward to the president’s cup and hopefully a wee run in UCL qualifiers. I see they have signed Graham Cummings back from St.Johnstone.
And yes I am also very much a rebel to the core!
Sean,
You can take the Bhoy out of Cork but you can’t take Cork out of the Bhoy.
Haven t lived in Cork since I was 19 now 51 years later I still have the same accent & follow & support every team or sportsperson thar represents the place.
In fairness I’m back very regularly & nothing I enjoy more than a stroll around that Beautiful City.
SEÁNP1916
I think your moniker kinda hints at that!
CORKCELT is a fine fella indeed. I finally met him all too briefly before the Bayern match. I’m kinda hoping to spend a wee bit more time in his company one day in the future.
A man with tales to tell,and I soak them up like a sponge!!!
Barney67…..the words were written by Bobby Sands….a peace maker in my eyes…..
Jamesgang…..my Dunblane laddie……hope you both got my wee blessing courtesy of The Quiet Man…
regards to the special one ….
Braw.
My tip for today and every day
