Thoughts of strikers we might have in the future should be nowhere near minds as we prepare to take on Dundee United at Celtic Park tomorrow. If it’s Johnny Kenny up front, back him. Same goes for Shin, Daizen or even Benjamin Nygren (don’t mock me, he knows where the goal is better than anyone in the squad).
The return of Martin has expectations sailing higher than they have been since his departure last month (it feels longer, right?), but there are reasons to be cautious. United bossed the same Celtic squad three weeks ago and have already taken a draw at Tynecastle and Ibrox this season. Anything less than 100% from the champions and they will do so again.
This game is reminiscent of that pivotal match against United four years ago this month. With the score at 0-0 and Celtic down to 10 men, Liel Abada scored a 90th minute winner to give us the chance to go top of the table next time out. That Celtic team is one we all remember fondly. They built the platform for the subsequent trophy haul, but even they needed to squeeze every ounce of energy and backing to get the result.
The same tomorrow, please.

Just had a wee reminder for Paradise Windfall …..all about priorities
———————-
You get a reminder even when you’ve already bought a ticket

I read of talk of signing Callum Wilson, just ditched by a West Ham who cannot buy a goal. Martin @ Co got goals out of this team, not as many as Brendan’s Celtic at their peak granted, but enough to win key games in three different tournaments. Of course we need to “supplement” the squad to give us a realisitic chance of seriously competing in the three competitions we remain in, and agree that if we can add goals we could well do so, but I’m not joining the snowflakes on here believing all is lost if we do not sign Kyogo. That’s not me, and somehow deep down I dont think that is you. It’s aw the ithers on here that appear ready to gie up the ghost…..

Here’s my tuppenceworth FWIW
MON , a man steeped in football who has played for and managed some of the best in the business, meets WN for the handover.
Within the 10/15 minutes it takes for that he realises the guys is an ingenue , not a serious football man and is going to fail spectacularly.
Calls Shaun – “ Keep your eye out for players – we’ll be back in the frame in weeks…”
Most likely scenario IMHO.
Fantastic game at Wrexham.3-3,FT ET and pens maybe.
THE BLOGGER FORMERLY KNOWN AS GM on 9TH JANUARY 2026 7:20 PM
Domenic McKay just interviewed on the tele box there.
Didn’t know he was running the rugby equivalent of the Champions League.
He sounded quite posh. I wonder what school he went to?
————-
What difference does his school make?
He’s either competent or he isn’t.
I’d suggest , irrespective of his parents’ choice of school, if indeed they made a choice, that he might be the one that got away.
How many of our former executives have gone on to , arguably , bigger things than us?
I’d suggest that the total turnover of the clubs involved in the Investec Cup dwarfs Celtic’s.
Nicholson out.
“What difference does his school make?”
None, mate. Just asking on behalf of those who think it does👍

For some a nightmare scenario. Lets see how it plays out……
The transfer from the Israeli team stinks to high heaven, doesn’t it?
Who sanctioned it?
And why?
A report from an outlet who have been following the story saying a £ 3 million deal struck with Hadjuk for Canadian holding midfielder Sigur.
Dont shoot the messenger.
Sooutyside
A club open to all – or so we keep telling people
Southside
So we are open to funding genocide now.
Noice.
Hopefully true.Canadian International.Plays alongside AJ.
Jean – Even nazis?
Gene
Don’t mention the Azov and Aidar brigades #SlavaUkrainia
Gene – for some on here Celtic is a club open to all provided we agree with your…………..
Its very difficult to buy from many countries,if you are wary about POLITICS.
Buy in Britain.Massive supplier to Israel,Saudi.
America.Same.You could go on.He is a young African kid playing in Israel.Probably Muslim.
TBH,that for me is not a problem.
If he is good 😉
Paulo di Canio is known for his facist views – we loved him
Good win by Vale tonight- in the draw for the 4th round of the FA cup
Night all
79% of Israelis were ” not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza” but…..Paulo di Canio
I’ve only just caught up with Benji’s press conference. I thought his last line was perfect. “I’ve already answered that!” Well done son.
blogger gm
so by your logic you’d be happy with Netanyahu as CEO ?
Gene
Not any more

we should be aiming for better than Kyogo – he was pish just before he left – and appears to have been pish since he left
I’m not going to be too unnhappy when its revealed he isnat coming – cos hes not
but would like someone better than Kenny in the door
Spikey,
Eh!!!!!!!.
in any case
we are not open to all, especially if you overtly support a Free Palestine (pipedream or not)
Trump says he will meet Venezuelan opposition leader,Machado,and hopes to be given her Nobel Prize,which SHOULD have been awarded to him.
American press saying if she does he will make her President,as the election was stolen from her by Maduro.Saying the only reason,Maduros VP is holding the office,is to enable Trump to do the Nobel for Presidency deal with Machado.
Just another reason to love the despicable ,tangerine,Paedo.
Absolutely nothing surprises me RE Trump and his administration
Actually puts you off watching the World Cup
Spikey,
The world has turned away from Gaza.Trump saw to that.
TurkeyBhoy
totally – Trump, all of his allies in the West and most of the Arab Leaders.
few world leaders want a Free Palestine – it might encourage others in other countries
We are in a world were billions of people can watch the execution of a 37 year old Mother of 3,by a Moron in the service of the government,and the said President,VP,and various other members of that government can tell you,to your face,that what you witnessed,was false.
That the Moron was run over by the victim.He was within his rights to put 3 bullets in her face.
This is Trumps America.
I had a quick read through the blog there.
Wow.
Then I thought I would check the facts.
So far no a single player signed for rangers yet this window. 2 strong links from Sturm Graz and a Belgian side.
Celtic has signed one ex Barcelona guy from a premiership club on loan. Again a couple of strong links also.
Apparently Celtic with a management team totally new in job for 3 days are way behind our rivals ?
What a place.
The Nobel Prize thing has just heaped more shame on the imbecile,as the Awarding Committee have just released a statement saying the prize cannot be transferred in case she hands it over.Dear God.Who is really proud they voted for this obscenity of a human being.
Spikey
My pal has a house in Aix en Provence. He was over there just pre Xmas in the main market area.
A pro Palestine march was going on. My pal spoke to the leader in French and said it was interesting they were still demonstrating t here as no one was doing it in the UK.
The guy replied “they are in Glasgow. I see it each week at the football matches”.
Really have not seen anyone saying we are behind them in the window.Maybe you are reading too much of our Media.Does not alter the fact we are painfully slow getting a striker in.
If the Canadian IS true,that would be a good signing.
