Benjamin Nygren will be delighted at his contribution to Sweden’s 5-1 win over Tunisia in World Cup Group F overnight. The Swedes finished bottom of their qualification group, behind Switzerland, Kosovo and Slovenia. However, unlikely wins over Ukraine and Poland in the Nations League sent them through to the top international tournament. That +4 goal difference almost certainly gives them enough to qualify for the first knockout round.
Sebastian Tounekti made a 72nd minute substitute appearance for Tunisa, seven minutes after Nygren was subbed off, with the score at 4-1. With Netherlands and Japan to come, it looks unlikely Sebastian’s stay in North America will last too much longer.
In Group F’s other game, Daizen Maeda played 66 minutes as Japan drew 2-2 with Netherlands, which sets Samurai Blue up nicely to make the next stage.

He’s a damned good detective though !
How is Kwon doing at Real Madrid
June 27th pre-season training starts. We have made a single appointment MON. You would think DD has learned a lesson last season.
None to take pre-season training. MON doesn’t do training it’s a lot to ask him at 73 to start
12 days to go. Players to resign. Transfers to arrange. If Maloney and Fotheringham are too dear hire Brownie. Don’t muck about. Brownie was an excellent Trainer. Get him in.
Real games start soon 5 loanees returned and Welsh and Schmicheal gone. Who has a job to do?
Brownie? That’s what Brendan Rogers used to call BROONIE!
Fixtures out on Thursday
I assume Johnston, Maeda, Nygren, Ralston, Tierney, Tounekti, Trusty and Yang will be given additional time off after the World Cup concludes?
I further assume no other Scottish club comes anywhere close to that number of players selected for their countries?
Capacity management across August and September will be important … particularly in defence.

Would i be correct in thinking our club will get a payment from FIFA regards our players?

Good afternoon you absolute shower.

Thanks Bada!
My brother-in-law who is a lawyer in Edinburgh has just texted me that he was told by a Jambo this morning that Findlay, Braga and Devlin are off to Ibrox too. Might help the Huns to reclaim second place again.
BRRB
Thanks for your blessing! I think 🤣
No coaching staff yet ????…….couldn’t make it up
Probably time for Callum to step into a player/coach role …..if we’re clever
Though he’s probably rocked to many boats
Originalsadiesbhoy

Tomas Brolin advises Benjamin Nygren to thrive by staying at Celtic
“Benjamin Nygren has had a fantastic development curve at Celtic” – Tomas Brolin
Sweden legend Tomas Brolin has advised Benjamin Nygren to stay at Celtic to continue to thrive rather than jump ship after just one season at the Scottish Champions…
Nygren signed for Celtic on 25 June 2025 in a £1.75m move from Danish side FC Nordsjælland and enjoyed a stand-out first season at the home of the Scottish Premiership trophy. The Swede scored 21 goals for Celtic, including four in the Europa League and was named as Celtic’s Player of the Year.
His form at Celtic caught the eye of the Sweden Head Coach Graham Potter who gave him his first senior cap in March. Nygren helped Sweden progress via the play-offs to the World Cup finals and started in their opening match last night against Tunisia.
His outstanding form has attracted attention from Premier League clubs, most notably Tottenham and a record breaking fee could be on the cards for Celtic if they decide to cash in just one year into the five year deal Nygren signed less that a year ago.
Tomas Brolin, who played in England for both Leeds and Crystal Palace, reckons that Nygren should follow his friend Henrik Larsson by continuing tho thrive at Celtic – at least for the time being.
“What is best for Benjamin Nygren? I have no idea. He has had a fantastic development curve at Celtic, and it is probably fantastic to stay there and continue that development curve until the next step when he is ready,” Brolin said, as reported by Glasgow Times.
He added: “Whether that is this year or next year or whatever, I actually don’t know. But, his curve has been very positive, so then it can be good to stay in the same place for a while longer too.”
When asked if he had ever had the chance to play for Celtic, Brolin revealed that he wasn’t aware of any such opportunities but reckoned he too would have thrived in the Celtic environment.
“I don’t think so. I know that Henrik Larsson thrived very well at Celtic anyway. So I probably would have thrived at Celtic too since I know Henrik very well and he thrived very well at Celtic,” Brolin said.
“So if I were to choose like this in hindsight, which is very strange, then Celtic sounds like a good club.”
Benjamin Nygren started last night as Sweden started their World Cup campaign in Mexico in emphatic style with a 5-1 win over Tunisia with some emphatic finishing.

Would I be right in thinking the transfer window opens today ?
Fenway Park was a blast last night. 5000 or more Scotland fans there.

Good question Tontine,he will be well into his wuruld record breaking run with the new club by the time the monies are split,but I think the monies will go to who he is regd with and underneath the transfer smog I thinks that’s Hertz.
Funny how Del has options on all hearts players goin,
HH
I just don’t get it in any way. We don’t fucking need or want a new backroom team, just concentrate on getting players in.
Maybe have a look at our pie sellers, some look a bit past it.
World class my arse
What a shower of useless bastards running our club, nothing going to alter until we get rid, pathetic
KINGlUbo
Tunisia have sacked their manager.
Murty to take over till the end of the competition ?

Window opens today, got more info on it below, seems we have an extra 2 days to scoop up the English left overs. Now how could the board resist that temptation 🙄
Extra Time for Scottish Clubs: In a major shift from previous years, the Scottish summer deadline has been extended to September 3, giving Scottish Premiership clubs an extra 48 hours to conclude business after the English Premier League window closes on September
An T @ 1:36pm – cheers.
I think you are correct
The amount we get? I had no idea …
But you got me thinking and I found this
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c893ndl18y9o
I’d temper any notion compensation was definitely paid for Röhl.
R2ngers were considering releasing him from his contract … which obviously means they pony up.
But to a much lesser degree if he quickly takes another job.
In this case RB Leipzig.
R2ngers didn’t put Röhl up for sale on eBay
More likely his agent started putting out feelers that a talented young blah blah blah … might be coming on to the market
… while his contractual situation at the perennial losers played out.
