We all have our prejudices and mine kicks in when Celtic sign a player with a high profile in England. They usually come with zero development opportunity and they have all been scouted every time a ball bounced within five meters of them. We do very well when monitoring the development squad at Fulham and almost as well with the same cohort at Manchester City, but for the most part, Celtic need to cast the net wider than their English counterparts.
Azerbaijan is just about as far from the regular haunts of English scouts as you can get. If a Columbian striker can settle there, he can settle in Scotland. There are no guarantees any new signing will work, we know for sure some will not. Football is a numbers game, get the right profile in, in the correct volume and at the right price, and you have a chance of succeeding.

Hardly filling us with confidence with this quote from MO’N……
“We have a number of players that we’re looking at,” he said. “We’ve had a number of offers in for players as well too at the same time.
“And I’m hoping in the not-too-distant future, and I mean maybe in the next couple of weeks, that we will have some really decent players at the football club to add to the very decent players we have at the football club.”

Very tru .
Didn’t see all celtic game…just looked usual pre season fare …pitch Didn’t look great
Suppose that went along with lots of celtic players 🙄…….think I’ll go under a rock until September
On the pens….to me there looked a clip on the Sherbourne player …but just outside the box
Celtic pen was a pen …definite push though if 0 0 he might not have given it
Disappointing to see Alfie Devine going to Preston…thought he’d be ideal replacement for Hatate
Shelbourne ffs
