Anchoring to a distant geographical base is not intuitively how you would expect a football club to recruit but Celtic are clearly working their contacts in Israel these days. Beram Kayal has worked out well in the two and a half years since joining from Maccabi Haifa, as has Nigeria international, Efe Ambrose, who joined from Israeli club Ashdod in the summer.
Neil Lennon recently mentioned he needed cover for left back (despite right-footed Adam Matthews performing heroics there against Barcelona), so it is no surprise that Israel international Rami Gershon is in town today. Gershon has played less than a dozen games for Standard Liege since leaving Israel three years ago, although he was a regular pick for loan club Kortrijk. Should he sign he will be a low-risk addition to the squad but he has almost certainly received commendation from the same sources who recommended Kayal and Ambrose.
Best of luck to Rabiu Ibrahim, who left for Kilmarnock after promising much but delivering little as a prodigy at Sporting and PSV Eindhoven. He was the low-risk addition of last January. You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs……

Excellent post. Fans are taken for granted, especially season ticket holders. The club just simply do not interact with their most valuable asset. In all the years I have had season tickets not once did I receive a request for feedback on the match day experience. We see excellent ideas on a regular basis from fans on-line, have seen some crackers on this site.
Wake up Celtic before it’s too late, might already be!

The wonders of the tickets office! I’ve had a few rammies with their management.
I’m not part of a CSC but for years I’ve been successful in the “ballots” for away games. Not one single game this year, not one…..

“they fielded a first eleven who had no nipples”
Obviously a dastardly Fenian plot to reduce the risk that they would be flagged for offside during a cold winter game.
