I see the story that Feyenoord are chasing John Guidetti has lasted more days than I expected. John Guidetti is a likeable guy and seems to have enjoyed his time at Celtic, but he desperately needs to show some form before the end of the season if he is to attract the attention of Feyenoord or any team of that calibre.
One aspect often overlooked about Guidetti is his inexperience. The player is still only 22 and had started only 30 games before arriving at Celtic Park last season, there’s a good chance that by the end of the season he will have played more games for Celtic than anyone else. On paper, a season at Celtic was a chance to sort his career out, grab first team football at a prestigious club who were short of a centre forward. Conversely, being kept out of the team by Leigh Griffiths will damage his reputation.
Barcabhoy sent me an interesting summary of Celtic’s material loss since the liquidation of Rangers. The figures below compare the three years before Rangers liquidation with the two and a half years since.
As you see, even though we are comparing a shorter time period after liquidation, Celtic’s turnover and profitability is still miles better than when we had to compete with Rangers.
This should end any nonsense about Celtic needing or in any way missing Rangers. We lost some revenue streams: domestic commercial and ticket income, but the slipstream to European revenues have more than made up for the gap. More importantly, we are also no longer caught in an arms race with a death-risk opponent, allowing us to bring costs below income and plan longer than the current season.

No worries, there was a discussion on twitter and Celtic TV were advertising as such.
“Live outside the UK & Ireland? Watch tomorrow’s game LIVE in HD on http://www.celticfc.tv (NM) “

Dont know how that # got there Hope its not to painful!!
martim1980-we’ve signed enough non scoring ‘strikers’, in recent years, Trades Description Act for some of them.
Bada Bing – I don’t disagree as long as one of the 4 forwards creates or scores and the team win from their movement we’ll be fine…….from now on of course……

Feel the same . It was a relief that neither Thomson or Murray got the game.
Hopefully our posts will be deleted if he does the dirty on us.

Any particular reason why from Paul McStay? Not that that is a bad thing, after all he went to the same school as me!

I hurried to post immediately after doc asked the question.
I hoped to answer him before he flounced, but it seems I shouldn’t have bothered, as it wasn’t noticed.: < ((
For what it's worth, I think the reason why it is on CTV is that there are no Brit clubs involved.

I too remember those birthday cards.
That’s just triggered a memory. Remember when the talk was of McStay leaving and he threw his Celtic shirt and boots into the Jungle?
Tiger Tim played this and the tears were tripping me.

Ya rocket :-) I’ll catch up on Celtic but I would have been helping out at the collection so I regret missing that.

Brilliant time so far though I was disappointed with Donegal Town today. A wee visit to the Wolfe Tone Bar more than made up for it once we got back to Letterkenny. Some of their memorabilia is incredible.
Derry and the Bogside tomorrow and then back to the Wolfe Tone for the game. Happy days.

I thought recently they might of been kid on but I’m sure some of mine were autographed (there may have been a generic print) (my late Grandmother was connected I tell you) but as Paul was my hero I was well chuffed.

Reading back today’s posts there’s some amount of snash spoken about John Guidetti. Having met him personally I can assure you the derogatory comments on his attitude are way off the mark.
Sure. The guy is pssd off when he doesn’t start or gets subbbed. Sure. He wants to take penalty kicks. He’s a winner!
Give me hungry guys like Guidetti in my team all day long.
