Celtic were looking for a right back throughout the second half of last term, but in the early weeks of his tenure, Brendan considered Mikael Lustig and Saidy Janko sufficient for the season ahead. Mikael is four years into a successful Celtic career but his fitness issues are of a persistent nature. We’ve reached Peak Swede.
Saidy missed lot of last season, also through injury, but he showed potential in his early outing this term. Aspirations for the lad crystallised in Israel last week, but not in a good way. I’m not going to defend him, because he was unquestionably poor, but agreement only exists on his poor showing because he was prepared to receive the ball so often. Not everyone in black that night was as keen to get on the end of a pass.
That opened the door for Cristian Gamboa, 26, second choice right back for West Brom. We’re very keen, apparently. West Brom manager, Tony Pulis, is less in need of a full back whose key attribute is getting forward at speed. Horses for course, I suppose, West Brom face different challenges than Celtic.
Two rumours have circulated this week: Celtic are looking for a midfield player and James McCarthy’s position at Everton is less secure than it was a year ago. Whoever has been linking these two facts has overreached – or made them up. Celtic have no idea where this one came from but were clear, there’s nothing in it. Getting the right midfielder remains a task in hand, but usual caveats apply. There are no guarantees we’ll land all our targets this summer.

Of course you would be in the top 10 left wingers,no doubt about that.
What do you make of the Irish Govt refusing the 10 billion in tax from Apple
I am self employed and last year I paid some tax 2 months before it was due ( had the cash,get it out of the way)
So on deadline day I paid nothing ( having paid it 2 months early)
Week later I get a letter from the Sheriff threatening me with jail,fines,transportation to Van Diemans land and public dis emboweling if I didnt pay.I had to email them the receipt they had sent me 2 months earlier.
Same fecking govt is now refusing to take 11 billion from Apple and are going to appeal with Apple against the award.
Please explain Robert..Please
L5 day off? Maybe they are waiting on the cheque to clear from dodgy Dave!
Maybe they’ve just given up.

I saw the top 10 Celtic moments but haven’t had time to post. Not sure if it’s best moments, as in results, or just great moments to be a Tim so I’ve got a mix of both. In no particular order:-
1) The night they turned the lights off at Pittodrie (after a defeat btw) and we sparked up lighters and continued singing in the dark!
2) Celtic 6-2 v the monkeys.
3) Henke and Harold stopping the 10.
4) Love Street in 1986.
5) Barcelona 2-1 (Wanyama, Watt)
6) Tommy Burns Thursday at Tannadice. The game, the emotion, the tears and the monkey buses passing us on the way down the road.
7) The GB display for Wee Oscar.
8) Celtic 3 Dundee 0 Centenary title win.
9) Celtic 4 Monkeys 2 (Ibrox 1983).
10) The night of Seville. I got to watch my team score in a European final and then beam with pride as my da went round consoling those in tears.

WITS – a great failing of the left in the modern economy has been to look out for the self employed.
That’s by the by – a sovereign state refusing billions in back taxes from a global giant? Explain?
It’s all you need to know about who the established political parties govern on behalf of and it ain’t you or me.
You know better than me how far that money would go to fix the republics ailing health services. And the Cnuts don’t want it?
It’s surely a form of treason.
The Green Man …
if you like TFC, do you listen to Linden … Bones is a single from this year…. reminds me of Big Star, Norman Blake … really good stuff.
okay, I’m definitely off now….

Under the radar top ten Celtic moment for me
Celtic beat Hibs 5 0 in Sept 96,
It was the first time I saw Di Canio playing,before the game an old man says to me,have you seen the wee Italian yet son…No
Och he is worth the entrance money
So I was glued to the wee Italian for the whole game and while he didnt score he was very entertaining and I left the game thinking thats a special player
Tommy Burns put some marvellous teams on the pitch
