I see a bit of chat on Liel Abada in the Latest News section of CQN this morning. I have been impressed with the player from his early outings last year. Although a winger with a prodigious assists record, it is his ability inside the box that impresses most.
He understands when to arrive in the danger area and has the speed and touch to be effective once there. With the right tutelage, I think he may end up as a striker – you will recall, the Great Swede played on the wing until arriving in Glasgow as a 26-year-old, when an opportunity opened to play through the middle.
I sense little resistance to the potential sale of Josip Juranovic. He had a stellar World Cup, at 27 he is in his prime and we have already recruited a replacement. There is less unanimity when it comes to Giorgos Giakoumakis. Gio is enormously popular and brings a different threat to any other striker at the club. However, at 28, we know the script. His age profile and backup status mean that he is available for the right price.
Liel does not always make the starting 11 but he would if I was picking the team. His age and contract profile are such that we are under no pressure to sell. But I need to ask myself what I really want from Celtic and how to get there.
I want us to be a competitive Champions League team, not the cannon fodder we were this season. To get there, we need an excellent recruitment regime and an aggressive trading policy. I’ll back any plan that aims for this target, anything else is conservative and unambitious – I don’t know about you, but I’m neither.

Christmas Greetings from Ange and the Bhoys
My own opinion on VAR re goals we score,i think it takes at least twice the time for a decision is,they dont just look at the couple of passes before the goal,they (VAR) rewind the play back to 30-45 seconds before ,to see if there’s absolutely anything they can do to disallow it….
Merry Christmas everyone.

Ive had my Firestick for a few months now, but I wouldnt know how to get CELTIC TV on it.
Some Bhoys on here have offered advice, but its just too complicated for me, so I just order PPV CELTIC TV and watch the Celts on my Computer Monitor.
One of the Bhoys has offered to visit me at home and set up CELTIC TV on my firestick for me, I am just waiting on him getting back to me, maybe after New Year etc ?
Merry Christmas mate.

Got it…it was ” THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER”.
I MUST be honest, it was the Post above by FRANKTERRY that kicked my memory into gear.
I watched an Hour long Documentary of Charles Laughton a couple of weeks ago and the Film critics were ALL in agreement about Charles Laughtons as a Director, and the Film and performance by Robert Mitchum…ALL being BRILLIANT.
MITCHUM was a real BAD BASSA in that Movie.
A Classic.

Enjoy your Christmas viewing!
Merry Christmas to all CQN’rs and the Celtic support across the world.
Was having a great day until I watched the news. What is it with these creepy arselickers who get out of their crypts early doors to cheer the royal family going into church ?
Merry Christmas and best wishes to all CQN’ers wherever they are! Special thanks to PAYL67 for this blessed site! Met some genuine, lovely ghuys via CQN and hope hope to meet more soon!
I know some of you ghuys have health issues and you will be remembered in my prayers today.
God bless all!
