I’ve seen nothing of Stefan Johansen but I’m delighted we have signed a central midfield player. Deficiencies up front are glaring, especially in the Premiership, but in Europe, the critical area is central mid, where we need to control more than we did this season.
Central midfield protects your defence and provides the foundations strikers stand on, it has been an important area for Celtic to strengthen since losing our top man last summer.
Conversely, Scott Brown is playing his best football since joining Celtic in 2007 but, as his European adventures were nullified by disciplinary action, the gap was unbridgeable. Honourable mentions should go to Charlie Mulgrew, Beram Kayal and Joe Ledley, but in the case of Charlie and Joe, they were asked to play secondary, or tertiary roles, while Beram was promoted from well down the pecking order to a Champions League starter.
Please observe the usual caveats when a new player arrives. New club, new city, new tactics, team mates, match officials and game atmosphere, Stefan has a lot to assimilate in the coming weeks. It took six months for Victor to settle and at least as long before Mikael, Scott and Joe looked their best.
For Stefan and Holmbert Fridjonsson the primary objective of the next six months is to prepare for Champions League qualifiers, closely followed by a Scottish Cup tie against Aberdeen in three weeks.
Welcome to Celtic, Stefan. You have a fantastic opportunity ahead.

Rangers wouldn’t fit their normal investee profile. Unless they view them as a real-estate company.
Hoop hoop Hooray
a goal that was great to witness from any angle
but that was a tremendous clip…..

Sheff Wed yes thats right regards Chris Mcguire
He was 2009s ??? Stevie May or Johnny Russell decent wee player
On St Midden crush game I think Johnyy Doyle got two
and third I think a penalty by Lennox the softest penalty strike
I have ven seen.
The ball trickled into corner of net with keeper nowhere
near it.
Dont know if anyone mentioned Bobby in the penalty takers stakes and
dont know if he took many but that penalty was superb.
Leftclick can you post the goals from the 7-1 game,was amazed to see that the other night
thanks
Floridagirl happy birthday hope you had a good ol day and year to come
Hail hail to you both

Many memorable games to think back on BUT April l4th 1965 against Dunfermline in Scottish Cup Final. Think OOR KB is still hovering waiting on Charlies corner.

I see “tin foilheid” and his cohorts are upset at close bros making a reappearance it it through the mob you posted:))

So as our article on the allegations of state aid… ALL land deals between Celtic and GCC were for market value and independently valued.
I suspect Councillor Meikles’ tweet will not be retweeted by Chris Graham and his cronies as it contradicts their article making it false
More from scotzine
Its interesting the reach that the toxic hand of Gavin Masterton had in the Scottish game and not once has he been held accountable for it.

Close Brothers are big, but why is it that they’re linked to just about everybody who becomes involved with us?

Re the “who are these alligators”. North Belfast Unionist Mp John MC Quoid who was an ex boxer who had obviously taken too many shots to the head (hence his membership of the DUP) said the same thing in the Mother of Parliaments. He also made some reference to his “fighting the Chindits ” and when it was pointed out that they “were on our side” Gerry Fitt a Nationalist MP opined that when Johnny was parachuted behind enemy lines he had obviously landed on his head.
Charlie72
The only thing I can think of is that lefties can sometimes be very one footed but I don’t think Charlie and Joe fall into that category.
Have to admit don’t think I would be too keen on two left footed centre backs .
As we know we can’t go on YouTube alone but it gives you an idea. And my idea of the lhad is he’ll be a top player. Looks mobile, strong, energetic and had a good range of passing, similar to Ki but more defensively able and more direct. Basically the Ki we hoped for.
Here’s the conspiracy for today.
The buyers of 2M shares today are Damille Investments II Limited. There Chairman is Richard Prosser. He is also a director of Appleby Trust (Jersey) Limited. They have an investment in Allenby Capital Ltd who previously had a director named Imran Ahmad.
That name seems familiar.

Thanks for posting that view of that Big Jan goal. I was in Australia at the time and it was amazing how despite us being well behind in the league ( if they won their games behind) how everybody didn’t just think but knew we’d go on and win the league. The crowd that night obviously shared our sentiments! And it’s my nephew’s favourite game.

They’re gonnae need shedloads of FFin’ antipsychotic medication when this pathetic damp squib is finally snuffed out:
“As with the ETB carry on this mhob are getting plenty of time to doctor documents,contracts with GCC etc. No doubt their political friends,legal lackies and bent councillors are busy with ‘operation coverup’ ”
——
“I want them to report how many NHS operations, nurses, school teachers could have been paid for from the public purse if Ce[l]tic hadn’t been receiving this illegal state aid.
I want the inflated figure printed front page. You know, not just the £30M taxpayer fleecing..
…I want to read about the sporting advantage gained through all of this and the clamour to have Cups/Titles (If indeed any were won) stripped.
That will do for starters. Lets get the b*st*rds bears. I never thought an opportunity like this would arrive so quickly!”
——
“Well people I did a power of emailing last week and follow up emails on Monday and not one reply this is what we are up against!
What is the next step for me as my mp,councilor have blanked me also gcc have yet to acknowledge me who do I take this up with” [Your GP, Sammy.]

“Personally, I’d like Ally McCoist to accuse Celtc of financial doping in the mhedia
Sounds superb… He should also publically brand them cheats.”

“I wonder if someone will report Dermott Desmond for creating and owning a bookmakers where odds are placed and laid on results involving the team he owns and that it could be argued that he would be in a position to influence those odds if for instance he knew something about team selection etc.”

@Pmacgiollabhain Phil, do you know if any of the SMSM have asked Ally if his “wage cut” is in fact a deferral which is payable back to him?

Same as the myth poured out by the MSM concerning him no taking pay during admin. Check the accounts he was one of the first paid after the OPI.
