Remember Henri Camara? Martin O’Neill paid a significant loan fee to sign him 10 years ago, in the considerable wake of Henrik Larsson. Henri flopped and soon lost his place in the team but the weight of responsibility thrust upon his frame was considerable. No one could come close to filling the gap left in the Celtic team.
Nadir Ciftci would do well to consider whose shoes he’s stepping into at Celtic. Last summer’s striker signings, John Guidetti and Stefan Scepovic could hardly muster a start the second half of the season. Leigh Griffiths, who arrived 18 months ago, got the striker’s gig most weeks, but Leigh came to Celtic with as illustrious a heritage as Nadir.
Never step into a great man’s shoes, but Nadir’s not doing that. This is the perfect time for a striker to join Celtic, I hope he has the appetite.
I see the great and the good in the media are flogging lyrical at the prospect of a prodigy arriving from Madrid. None of this has come from Celtic. The player may become available at some point but I reckon it remains a hard task convincing Real his immediate future should lie in Glasgow.

Lots of non Celtic stuff going on here. Such is life.
Vivid Celtic memory from the Jungle
Sat 03 Jan 1987 Celtic 8 – 3 Hamilton Ac.

I’m sure I was at that game but never remember Anton having a poor touch :)
Actually, I was looking at the team and was wondering who played beside Derek Whyte…must have been Willie McStay.
TD67 – He will have a fairly long settling in period when the SFA ban him for about 8 games…
Last opposition player to score a hat trick against Celtic at Celtic Park?
I can’t think of anyone doing so after Eric Black did.
Any other candidates?

What your refer to was a regrettable mistake by the IRA. It does not compare to Australians in uniform willingly shooting dead Irishmen in Dublin, Ireland, in 1916, when Australia was not at war with Ireland.
You should think about that too.

Cracking post mate, hope all is well.HH

Again callous with malice, and you voted to move where with your feet?

At least Ciftci will be available for the CL qualifiers
But more than likely will miss the 1st 2 months of the SPL

Is the alleged biting on camera or will this be another probability issue?
Some comments on the death of Franco…first thing I remember in Spain was the cessation of page three censorship…the good old days.

It was on the tin when we bought it so it’s not a sniper, only thing I’m worried about is if they don’t allow him to train, and I wouldent put it past them.
Aye, he just can’t help himself.

But not Francoism.
Pal.
Check out the hypocrisy.
The wee pretendy socialism.
Welcome to Celtic Nadir
I predicated that Pukki was a waste of money and would continue his form from Shalke and would be a flop
Turned out to be true
I think Nadir will become a massive success at Celtic park
Kit. How are you? What is going on with Macjay?
I am about to start paper work to become a Citizen. Worried that when I become one my politics will shift to the right of norman tebbit like the rest of Ozzie males
Welcome to the Bhoys Nadir
Go Nads!
That’s me off before I get barred.
Spouting pish, spouting stuff he knows feck all about.
well the big man is confirmed, so welcome to the bhoys nadir. hope you have a long and fruitful celtic career.

I’m not a citizen, if becoming one means I have to sell my soul and become steeled materialistic as opposed lberal compassionate, then it’s not for me.
Sipsini
Hail, hail, mate. Yes, I’m fine and looking forward to catching up with fellow Tims at the golf day. I’ve read your posts with much amusement.
Plus, I have my season book for next year so will no doubt see you at the corner when you’re able to get to games.

Breaking news:
Celtic have signed Nadir Ciftci from Dundee United on a 4 year deal.
And in other news, The SFA disciplinary panel have called an extraordinary meeting to reintroduce sine die bans specifically for biting offences.

I do.
I`m on the side of reconciliation,not the perpetuation of hatred about yesterday`s crimes.
Irrespective of who committed them.
Including the British forces.
I don`t have to tell you that.
Celtic.
That`s what we all have in common.
Can`t we take these issues away from Celtic?
Is the home European tie on the box next week? Newborn in the house so not sure if I’m going to make it in the flesh.
Wee Jackie tops up his bank balance (again)
“I’m delighted for him because he’s a fantastic lad,” McNamara told The Scottish Sun. “I know a lot of things riled him and he has this reputation, but he’s a lovely boy. At 23 he’s a fantastic talent and has the potential to go to the very top…
“It has taken two years of work on him to get him into the position where he’s getting his move.
“We believe we’ve helped him get to the next level and the rest is up to him now. But there’s no limit to what he can achieve because he’s a very talented player.”

As opposed to New Zealand,
where men are men and sheep are nervous.
:-)
Kit. Thank you for your kind words
I remember fondly the time we met in Brisbane and your wonderfull children
Wish we could do it again sometime
My passport has run out and don’t see the point of renewing it when it is cheaper becoming a Citizen. Michael and his lovely family became Citizens recently
Been in OZ 8 years now and to be honest I have no Ozzie mates Nothing in common with them. Maybe just me
My mates are all from the Celtic club and one ex work mate who is a nice fan of the deid club
Took a holiday tommorow and enjoying a nice wee Ozzie wine or 2 :))

I wish Celtic was pristine, I wish the world was pristine… but I can only talk for myself.
No country, no country’s citizens, are without guilt or sin.
Wouldn’t it have been great if big Pierre, playing hardball over his client Cifit’s terms, rolls into the CP boardroom for showdown talks and there sat across the table waiting was Celtic’s hired gun for the negotiations – wee Fergus!
I’d have paid to see that streamed live on CTV.
Right that’s Ciftci official.
Now, what about that Mozart like prodigy, the boy with the radioactive tan, Odegaard.
Surely he doesn’t want to waste his time in Spain:)

I’ll catch up on the Saturday games.
Sunday games. Grrrr
Just watching my bhoy stashing his carry out for T in the park, must be the biggest holdall i’ve ever seen, then again according to him JTT’s bhoy has double.
Sleepless nights ahead :(

Madrid’s city council, now governed by Left-wing, Podemos-backed mayor Manuela Carmena, is planning to rename all the city’s streets and squares that relate to the dictator Francisco Franco’s regime.
———————————————————————————————————————–
O.K.
Left wing…………….
Re – re – naming looms after the next election.
Welcome Nadir Cifcti, hope you do the business.
Keep the Faith!
Hail; Hail!
