I heard two bits of good news today. First, and most importantly, season ticket sales have been fantastic. We’re well on track to reach target. We don’t know what next season will bring from several revenue streams, most importantly what European football will deliver, but knowing the income arriving from season tickets allows the club to make early decisions.
Specifically, a couple of hours ago we agreed terms (with player and club) for the outright purchase of a player, currently registered with an English Premier League club. He flies north tonight and will sign subject to a medical, booked for tomorrow. I understand the coaching staff are delighted at the capture as he’s been our number one priority for some time.
Tip for the day: don’t ask ‘sources close to the club’ what the consequences of today’s result at Fir Park are for us, unless you want a lecture about how:
We’re on our own……
We know we’re on our own……
We’ll stand or fall on our own merits……
We don’t need money from two derby games that we could almost match from a good run in the cups……
We need to build a successful Celtic team……
We need to pull a squad together for the qualifiers……
We need five-in-a-row……
And none of this is changed whatsoever by who else is in the Premiership. Not. An. Inch.
That’s me told. I also got the feeling no one at Celtic has any appetite to be involved in the kind of scenes we witnessed at Fir Park today. It’s not the image we have for our future. We want a successful, family club, open to all. As it has been since 1888.
Anyway, I’m sworn to secrecy on the identity of the player, but you’re smart, you’ll figure it out. Well done with the season tickets, take a bow.

If Virgil leaves after helping us to CL group stage, I will be happy.
Would be happier if he stayed for the season though.

Not trying to stand up for that clown Moshni but think big Drunkin Duncan was on probation and had a list of previous, for the record I bought Jock McStay a beer that Saturday night in Scruffy Murphys in Coatbridge, he should have got a yellow card for going down so easy, think he agreed with me
“We don’t need money from two derby games that we could almost match from a good run in the cups……”

Partick stayed up, Paul:-)
P67,
I’m hearing its not a defender, in fact it’s the other end of the field.
If it’s who I believe it is then EVERYONE will be delighted! :)

Will be jar jar binks Moshi foolishly reacts to severe provocation from Motherwell gang
Hahahahaha!
Went to Ibrox in the 90’s on a corporate invite when Motherwell were playing Rangers.
Had never been there before other than for a Celtic game in the stands.
Lots of eye openers as all assumed (apart from the guys who invited me and knew my allegiances, one of whom was a nutter but the other of whom was actually a pretty decent guy) everyone was a Rangers fan or , if a Motherwell fan, at least sympathetic.
Biggest one was an official of the club doing a meet and greet round the tables before the game who said, with a completely straight face, that Motherwell wouldn’t trouble Rangers as they were a “good Proddy team”
Cue tumbleweed as it became obvious the assumptions weren’t entirely accurate.
The sense of entitlement and supremacy around the place was tangible and horrible.
The player sent round to press the flesh after the game was one Stuart McCall.
Hard to measure how times have changed since then, and all for the better.
Like so many on here I just wish my father was alive to see it.

If Moshni is out of contract tomorrow, and heads out the country, will Police Scotland, and the FTSFA still take any meaningful action ?
He should be arrested tonight whilst still in the country
Hail Hail
=============================
I would have thought Police Scotland would be too busy kicking in the doors of 17 year-old Celtic fans to be able to free up resources to arrest a filthy, greasy, violent Hun who looks like he was signed from the Titty Twister pub team out of Dusk Til Dawn.
I think this could be real trouble for the tribute act
Another year down below,players out of contract,who will sign for them,will they attempt to live within their means ?
If they do that obviously means a lesser standard of player (Ha,is that even possible)
Will the people continue to buy season tickets to support the “Rangers then,Rangers Now,Rangers Forever” even if that means mid table in the Championship,
Will they walk away in droves and leave the Ibrox coffers even emptier ?
Maybe some “Real Rangers Men” will ride in on white horses with a war chest
Hold on,I think i have seen that movie..
Maybe they have suffered enough
Stop picking on Wilson .. He’s still a Tim ..
Peter Grant wasn’t Maldini, but he still got our backing ..
Guy on bbc Scotland news…..if you don’t want to know the score……huns looking for the
tardis.
Just settling down with an11year old , 60.1 , Craigellachie supplied by BMCUWP via ACGR to watch the highlights( they will ALL be ) of the big game . Sometimes getting to 76 has advantages
Moshi Monster Mixed Martial Arts! Magic Hahaha.
Moshni I’d going to be the patsy then ?
Full glare on a Jar Jar. predicted this earlier and it’ll allow the zombies to vent at him.
He is a rocket, no doubt, but he was the initial victim.
Incredible reports that the fight carried on outside the stadium?
Don’t know much about Boyata but I trust Ronny and the coaches, on the evidence of our signings the manager is now the deciding who he will sign rather than John park. I am even more delighted to hear that ST are selling well, a great day all round .

Boyata arrives
——————————————-
Haven’t seen the big Lhad play so can’t comment on his ability, but his burd is definitely Celtic class…
From twitter
#Moshni should be given the most severe punishment ever in Scottish football – he should be made to sign another contract with @RangersFC
BT

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood night all,
Make no mistake today was a crushing blow to huns everywhere .
GoodCSC
Today was one massive boot in the niagaras for the hun, worse than Unirea or Kaunas and up there with Berwick 67.
I watched on Wednesday and they were pumped up for sure, straining at the leash, promising payback, hymnsheets of hatred cranked up.
They are beyond hurting now, numb and looking into the abyss, and probably worse to come.
It’s already clear they are going to deflect attention from Sevco’s plight and they are gearing up to blame it all on the Motherwell fans who invaded the pitch. No mention of the public common assault by Moshni.
Sportscene’s imminent.
Popcorn, check.
Wean’s stuffed Gorilla toy on the couch with me, check.
Celtic Mug of Tea, check
Shit-eating grin, check.
Delaneys
Moshni was quick to unleash the combo eh ?
The Last 15 mins watching the Steel men pump the Steal men all over the park was epic.
BUT MOSHNI has me and the sons of Toffeetim in fits of laughter !
His attempts to play football resembled a drunk giraffe trying to trap a balloon !!
Bloody marvelous show from a character who’s ineptitude as football player is clearly apparent !
He’s the modern day Colin Jackson ;)
