I saw “Japan first country to qualify for 2026 Word Cup” and quickly clicked on the line-up for their win against Bahrain. Neither Daizen Maeda nor Reo Hatate made it off the bench.
Japan top their group with 19 points, Australia are second, nine points adrift. Reo and Daizen did not get into the team because Japan have an ever-expanding talent pool of excellent players to choose from.
Celtic used links to City Football Group to align with the Japanese market in 2021. Ange Postecoglou, Koygo, Daizen and Reo came and transformed the club. The years since would be unrecognisable without this influence from Japan. Despite this, Japan is no longer on our radar; Korea has also slipped from our scope.
We had First Mover Advantage in 2021. The value available may not be exactly the same as then, but it feels like we have walked away from the richest seam of talent we have seen pull on Celtic shirts in decades.

King Luboo,
Really?.Don’t think I have ever heard you decry Putin.Or maybe you are just a tad selective.

I think the vast majority is ` a tad selective ` when it comes to political issues ( and football , for that matter).
Rory Gallagher.
Quite sublime.

“ I’ve never seen a situation Police Scotland couldn’t make worse “
Brendan Behan I think 🤔
Greenpinata – about OJ
I don’t understand many of their posts.
Sometimes I think I know what they have to say and I think , ok, that’s a valid football point (if my interpretation is appropriate).
In one post recently, I think they said BR’s appointment won’t work out in the long run – nothing wrong with that opinion and coming across many angles is a treasured part of the blog.
What I don’t get is why it’s shrouded in impenetrable speak.

Not sure about that to be fair, but Billy Gilmour is definitely a wee Diddy

*yet according to the beeb for the first 20 minutes or so it was looking ling the bully gulmur show
The hun media looks for ways to blame the Tank for both goals. Naismith is a small brain stuck inside a baked potato.
Yep, there you go.
2nd goal was Ralston’s fault- slid in a threw the rest of the defence out of kilter.
Naismiths views riveting😩
Jota Texting that Bada Bing on his plane (big bassa )😠
Midfield giving way the ball in danger areas, not all the time, but too often
And ceding too much space when not on the ball
