Como! Who knew? You might expect the side who finished 10th in Serie A last season would be a source of players for Celtic (Reggina were 13th when we signed our former right winger Shunsuke Nakamura from them 20 years ago). Now Como are signing teenagers from Betis for €22m and apparently Nicolas Kuhn for €19m.
This is the world, there’s no point complaining about it. Como are the plaything of Indonesian owners, who have funded a rise from Siere D (where Reggina now are). We have seen similar vanity projects playout across Europe. They seldom end well, but before they burn out, there’s millions to be made for football players.
No one should expect anything other than Nicolas Kuhn making the most of his earning potential. It is why he came to Celtic in the first place and why Celtic continue to attract players from across the globe to live in Glasgow, protected from harmful sun rays 99% of the year. This is the world, let’s make the most of it.
It would be remis of me not to mention how some in the old media, followed by many online, treated the news of Nicolas signing for Celtic. A know-nothing from Austria (billed as an “expert”) was given a platform to explain how “rubbish” the player was. Celtic have an incredible ability to sell rubbish for €19m.
Whatever the process was that identified and selected Nicolas Kuhn, let’s have more of this “rubbish”.

Archie McPhersons Eulogy for John Clark…..very humbling and all from the heart without a single note…well done Archie…..a few tears shed.
RIP John ☘️☘️☘️
A bit before my time but my Dad told me that Faith of our Fathers was regularly sung at Celtic Park in the 50s as was Hail Glorious St. Patrick.

In my very early years as a young boy going to games with my dad between 1961 & 1964 the support regularly sang Faith of Our Fathers and Hail Glorious St Patrick.

the electronic road sign at the top of carmunock road at castlemilk is proudly announcing road closures this weekend because of the ‘Annual Boyne Parade’
i wonder if it is so descriptive for the annual bloody sunday or internment parades?
the cooncil road sign operator must be a hun

Kuhn is the model in action. Buy good players low, sell high. Replace with other good players, win league. Rinse and repeat.
As always the challenge is the replacement. Good luck to him. Como is lovely…
When we moved to the new St Michael’s in Springfield Road in 1960, Miss Brogan told us to sing Hail Glorious St Patrick as we would in Church and not like they do over there, nodding in the direction of Celtic Park. We could see from our classroom the floodlights towering over the tenements.
Imo, if you want to sing Catholic hymns then go to mass.
Again imo, Catholic martyrs ( even English ones ) should be revered ) But in a church
Times have changed, Scotland is now officially a country of no religion, realistically football is no different .
Go to mass and give it wholeheartedly.

Late 50s early 60s I remember Faith of Our Fathers sung at games too. Shortened version mind you, a lot of words to remember! 🤣

See where you’re coming from, but sing a Catholic hymn wherever you want, just don’t expect every supporter to join in at a Celtic game.
Celtic were a club of no religion long before Scotland apparently officially decided it was a country of no religion.
It’s been that way since 1888 though others prefer to paint it differently.
I doubt we should sing hymns at Celtic Park. The last one I remember was a bastardised one in honour of Henrik Larrson.

I’m going to the Newcastle game. And you’re buying my drink ya Motherwell hooligan. 👍

Hey, just to let you know I’ve been banned from Wikipedia for deleting a couple of sentences from the German Wikipedia entry for Celtic FC which accused us fans of being “antisemitic” for waving Palestinian flags and of having made “antisemitic chants” against Nir Bitton (nonsense!). As you probably know, Wikipedia is these days zealously checked by the IDF and it seems to have a hotline to German wikipedia mods. I’m the victim of an attack on free speech, not least because I add and correct info on many other sites, not just related to political or sporting themes, which is now impossible.
MON the HOOPS.
JUST DAE IT CELTIC.

I don’t recall “faith of our father’s” being sung at the fitba, but it was the one I remember from the televised Ibrox disaster memorial service, as my father was there, his nephew was one of the 66 who lost their life on the Ibrox terraces on that fateful day.
Hail Gloria St Patrick was definitely sung in the jungle and at Hampden in the 70’s, although it was a hybrid of the original song and Celtic lyrics…. “in the war against rangers, in the fight for the cup, when Jimmy MGrory put the Celtic one up, we’ve done it before and we’ll do it again, on Erin Green valley….etc”.
That’s in my heid now, it’ll take a while to leave me 🇳🇬

My first game was in January 1961 when both hymns were sung…….pretty sure Paddy Crerand joined in the singing.
Good on you Fassreifen!
To work Celtic get that sharpness up

Good one Jackie, I liked that.

Game just came on Celtic TV.
Cmon Celtic Let the people sing.
Thanks, JackieMac. The mod has reversed my edit, so the antisemitism claim is still there. Nothing I can do. Shocking that these people are unaccountable. It maybe explains why prejudices about Celtic get perpetuated.
Any sausages for the game?
👌👌 bhoys
Fassreifen: Well done. 🇵🇸🍀🇵🇸
