Early in the summer I said that to re-sign Kelechi Ineanacho would be an admission of failure that we were unable to scout a player better than one who was unable to compete for 90 minutes last term.
Then we were told the manager wanted him, while hearing that it was difficult to recruit players to Scotland (which is true). Kelechi was invited back, presumably because those privy to inside info on our recruitment plans believed he was better than our alternatives.
Celtic had an option to retain the player for next season, allowed it to lapse, provided Kelechi’s agent with a ‘Player in demand’ opportunity and saw him sign for Turkish side Bursaspor. Meanwhile, there is not a whisper from Celtic. Genuine incredulity among the fans is unanswered, I can only assume because explaining would not make things more palatable.
We will speak more about the direction of the club before the start of the season, but there is plenty to be alarmed about.

that mica Richards is getting on my tits
rooney, hart and richards on the bbc.
they have been given a platform to peddle their hatred of argentina.
not sure thats what we pay our tv licence for.
but argentina have taken the israeli soup, so im fine with it.
what a shower of horrible bastards the Argentinians are
even Messi tried to pull a fly one with hand over mouth claim
——
The dope machines claim for what?
dearie me
Aegentina are thw first team that have failed to have register a single shot during 90 mins in a world cup final (1990). They are also the second. Argentina ate the first time that failed to rrgister a single shot on target during 120 mins play in a world cup final
The Donald presenting the World Cup?
Dont forget Thatcher at the SC Final back in the day……
Which we won
the Trumpoid wont even remember that he hates spain while hes dishing the medals out.

The problem is that PL, for better or worse, was the structure and when he left the structure that he was left with him.
SHAKIRA knocked it our of the park for me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Celtic Mac
Yes.
And both Celtic and Dundee Utd fans gave it, “Maggie, Maggie, Get tae fuck!” for the whole half time.
Conveniently blocked out by the beeb and the Sunday papers.
The only one to comment on the abuse she got was, in his article in the Sunday Mail, Big Jock Wallace, who was disappointed by the abuse she got.
Not one other so called journo even mentioned it.
Compliant media even then.
AB79
he sugegsted to the ref that Cucurella had covered his mouth when speaking to him.
messi himself should have been booked for pulling someone back imo too
hopefully paredes get hammered too
in total agreement with Rooney about the half-time show – not wanted/needed for football

Indeed. I was there in my centenary season jersey, and as a young man didn’t fully appreciate the protest, but remember holding up a red card as instructed.
I met Jinkny for the first and only time that day. He was holding court at the bar of a pub around the corner. What a great day!
vale bhoy
Seem to remember Roy Aitken smiling as he shook hands with Maggie……not alone there
Of course maybe he was telling her he wasn’t going to work on her farm no more….
As Martin says…..two sides to every story…..
and never forget…

Can’t even attract a guy from Motherwell ffs,another one off Nicholson’s bingo card
Maradonna film on just now – absolutely unbelievable…i hate their leaders and many of their players today but hes the reason I have an Argentina top
I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was working at that final.
I think both teams met Thatcher pre-game, somewhere beneath the stands.
Seeing it, I expected most of my Tic heroes to refuse to shake Thatcher’s mitts – in my memory, all present did.
Seemingly tho, Mick McCarthy refused to even come out to meet her; thus avoiding an awkward f2f snub.
Fair play to big Mick.
And fair play to La Furia Roja – my tip to lift the Cup afore the tourney started.
Good Morning Fholk – Grand Day To Be A Tim…
Think Haissem Hassan is what we need for the right wing – we lack pace in the frontline, especually if Maeda goes…
Swansea City seem to have a eye on Scotland; Welsh and now Just…
Swansea City promoted Jay Lefevre [Ex-Celtic] to their new head of recruitment in June
Idah scored for them t’uther day…
Remember the Adam, Arne, Austin mantra…
So called Celtic uber fans slagging off our players…
They are still amongst us…
A disgrace…
Have A Great Week Celts…

Comedian Andy Cameron was on media duties that day. Despite being a Rangers man he was quite funny. His comment as I recall was, “Nice to hear the Celtic fans wishing the Prime Minister the best of luck.”

Mark McGhee’s managerial record has got hee haw to do him being the only honest ex Celtic hero who had the integrity to refuse to bow to thousands of dim Timmy cliques that are full of weak mugs who cannot take their heads out of Rodgers the myths erchie for long enough to see that DD was correct about Rodgers being a toxic grifter sleekitly speaking out of both sides of his mouth as he sleekitly spread unrest throughout the club.
DD appointing Nancy was wrong, but it dizny change DD from 100% spot on about the Rodgers myth.
Well done Mark McGhee for being a fearless uppity Tim.
No wonder the PLC liars were terrified to give Mark McGhee the Celtic managers job, as they went for non uppity Tony Mowbray and the utter failure kling-on who simply refuses to be flushed doon the pan, Peter Grant as assistant manager.
Talk about keeping the old firm gravy train wheels greased.
Deary me!
Viva la Spain!
just ignore his lack of integrity when it suits then…
Good morning all.

Seeing the world Cup was in America I used Americian spelling 🇲🇾🇪🇦🏆😃😃
Of course there is a lot of concern about who is coming and going and that rangers are maybe doing x y and z. Lots of excitement about statements and even the dead old Scottish Coeff guy (a rangers fan btw) has let his mask slip in booting Celtic this week. Personally I don’t see many folks at the level we want moving anywhere right now. Plenty to feed off at the bottom as our rivals are doing. As they always do.
It’s all eyes on Champions League draw for us today and for the Govan team a more pressing concern is the 3rd round qualifier Europa Draw.
For us it is importAnt (as are this weeks 2nd round fixtures) to see who we may get from the draw made in 2 weeks time for our tie on 19th and 26th August. It is a full month away.
For our Glasgow rivals they are pressed into more immediate action. They will play in 2 weeks and 2 days time in the lower level Europa 3rd round qualifier. Hence their current panic need to buy and be match ready a lot quicker. That and the fact that they had many more active loanees in their squad last season.
As yet we have lost only Schmeichal Hatate and Ihenacho. We may lose more. We have signed Duran (who seems decent and keen) and will have CCV Osmand and Johnston to add to what we had for most of last season.
We will sign more for sure and we will get some decent loans in as we did before.
Our deadline is not the same as the others though. I am hopeful we can beat Dundee and Kilmarnock on grass and a league cup tie before our first big test in CL playoff on August 19. We have our first big test at a date similar to EPL and Championship start. That is a benchmark for speed of transfer moves not Rangers or Hearts who start in serious action this week or in 2 weeks.
Don’t panic cfc. Alls not well but not as bad as it feels.
Dear old Scottish coeff meant to say lol
Loans without an option to buy suck and often have the parent club agenda foremost.
It reeks of panic, frustration, desperation and demotivates the ordinary fan who loves to see homegrown player development.
Imo, a loan without an option to buy gives out a false narrative of competence and progression.
Eg : In the big picture what did Alex Valle bring to the progression of our club apart from demoralising Greg Taylor and hastening his departure.
We nutured Valle after a difficult start and Barcelona reaped the rewards.
Not for me.
HH.
Would you wear a suit with white trainers?
Burnley,
So,there is no need for the panic .We have 4 weeks to get guys in for CL Qualifier !!!!!!!!.Thats sourcing them,getting them in,getting them incorporated into the team.Phew,glad you told us all this,thats a weight off everyones mind.We all know our Board will have all this sorted in plenty of time.
Oh,so,you think it will be perfectly permissable for a few ” Loanees” to come in also?..What planet are you operating from.Its not the one the rest of us have been inhabiting through countless transfer windows.
If none of this comes to pass,you will shrug your shoulders,chin up,and re- commence your adoration of the Board,and trying to slag off the ones who were correct,all along.
Burnley,
What ” Level” do you expect us to beblooking at?.
I see Paul on today telling us Aurajo is a no go,mainly because his wages of £ 40,000,odds would be too much.
Once again,as in Iheanachos case,it takes only a moment to discover ,his wages at Bou4nemouth are,£ 23,000 per week.
Spikey,
HT show,not required.How old are you,105,FFS.Still hankering for the Macaroon Bars and Spearmint chewing gum .Piss in a can and turn it up side down at your feet.Ah,now thats entertainment.
Pull yourself together mañ.Shakira showing the Hips still dont lie,better than the game.LOL
Turkeybhoy
i’ll give you Shakira, but that should been before the game – even Coldplay.
the hydration breaks and the half-time show turn the game itself into something completely different from what it is.
american football is all set plays. To an extent football is, but there is much more rythm involved for the good teams. All the breaks suit teams who want to spoil, interrupt cause chaos and stop passing teams. We’ve moaned for years about time wasting, palying for fouls etc etc at CP. Half time gives teams a chance to change/readjust (if they cant do it mid match). No need for any more breaks unless we want to watch a completely new sport.
So Burnley…You wouldn’t have liked Just in a celtic jersey 🤔
You wouldn’t be happy if we’d signed the 20 year old captain of P Belgrade..or Jens Hjerto Dahl ?? from Norway….mind we’d have absolutely no chance of signing him as hes nearly 7 million !
I despair

“Would you wear a suit with white trainers?”
What’s he training for? Certainly wasn’t to run away from Trump.
Perhaps it was to chase Shakira around the stadium…probably behind Turkeybhoy in the pursuit though…
btw, wwnt into work today, told my manager that the stuff i was working on (pretty much the same stuff other guys in the building are doing) was too hard.
wonder if i’ll be in a job tomorrow.
Spikeysauldman…I agree. Even at normal half time I get anxious waiting for the restart. Can’t be bothered with Shakira, Madonna, Paradise Windfall, get the teams out…
