After an ominous start, Celtic coped well with PSG’s superstars before they retired at halftime. The midfield, in particular, looked effective. Mohamed Elyounoussi, Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham were always comfortable. The latter must be wondering, what more for a regular starting place? I would not know how to answer that question.
The first half goals were irritating as inattentiveness contributed to them, taking the shine off what I thought was a really good demonstration of why we should play three at the back. I know the club are busy with recruitment targets, but the shape of the team Neil Lennon wants to play will feed into details, like how many central defenders we need. At least two, I suggest. Nir Bitton does well, especially in possession, but his instincts are not those of a central defender.
It was great to see Tom Rogic back and looking the part. We missed his presence in midfield for much of 2019, to the extent that my expectations of him have lowered. It will be interesting to see how his fitness builds from this point onwards.
Hamilton Accies a week on Sunday will be a different challenge, alas.

BT – Thanks for suggestion , I could try that . As Bada said I remember somebody on here mentioning a charity that sent kit out to Africa but I can’t remember details and that’s why I thought I would give this a try.

Sevco Finances
Found this website
https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=512&teamTabs=transfers
and Celtic have got, roughly, the same amount of money in transfer fees from the sale of Kouassi Eboue than Sevco have received since 2013….
Think it may have been Blantyre Kev who collected football strip
I’ll ask him on Twitter
25 years ago today, Celtic perform the Huddle pre-match for the very first time in a friendly against Emden Kickers.

BT – thanks
Thur koverage never mentions the “finances” as it might pertain to their national standing.Thur still a Big Klub etc etc etc……. Liquidation in normal commercial physics is an end point, finito…….no’ wi’ thems, apparently.
Despite the litany of commercial horrors that has beset them, to the mouth-breathers it’s WATP business as usual guff…….
With us, we were forever in ” Crisis” and / or ” cash-strapped”………
Wan scoddland, wan kulchur.
A FUNDRAISER for Celtic legend Billy McNeill to get a statue erected in his hometown has smashed its £70K target.
The Billy McNeill Commemoration Committee launched their campaign for a statue of Cesar to go up in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, following his death last year.
On E-Tims this morning,Huns statement “In the meantime strips can be purchased from Castores two flagship stores in London and Liverpool”
Castore STATEMENT” We will not be selling any Rangers kits at present”
Oh dear,what can the matter be.As the song says.
In my opinion Ntcham is a good midfielder But is too inconsistent and to be quite blunt is lazy, there is a very good footballer there but he very seldom puts the work in for the full 90 minutes.

No worries , sent Kev a text
Happy Birthday Tonyrome👏👏👏👏👏
The deid team have upped their 6 counties connections. Make of that what you will……
Hi BT
Glasgow the Caring city would take it. It’s must likely it would be distributed to the refugee community in Glasgow or in the camps.
Ross is on holiday so it would be week after next before he’s back at the unit though. One of the volunteers might be able to take it in before then.
You can email him Ross@glasgowthecaringcity.com
Latest I am hearing: AEK GK, still hopeful of concluding deal. Hart is Plan B. Still pursuing a defender. Turnbull if Ntcham goes to Southampton. Talk of Albian Ajeti, Swiss striker with WHU.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
And where’s Big Fraz in all this?
“It’s all if, buts and maybes…”
Whatever happened to big fat DJ?
why wait until ON goes to saints before we go for the Motherwell player , is not that we don’t have the funds.
Morning all.
Re queries about Sevco “keeping the lights on” – same old same old.
Year X …
Across May and June
– Take in a year’s worth of ST income across
– Sell strips and get some money
Then pay off any debts that simply cannot be pushed down the river, put down 1st instalments on new signings.
Income runs out in April.
Next year as above except ….
– debts greater (2nd instalments due)
– even more players signed (madness)
– less shirt shale revenue
Income runs out in March.
Next year – repeat. Income runs out in February.
Repeat and nauseam …
Enjoy ☺️
oh and by the way , hart should be plan z
BT – fab. Thanks and say thanks to BK too. I’ll get right on it!

BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 23RD JULY 2020 10:55 AM
So far all the Zombies have done is reduce the headcount in their playing squad.
Defoe & Hagi signed permanently. A couple of bosmans. Two new faces overall with only one transfer fee paid.
9 players out the door so far.
You wouldn’t know listening to their fans but it looks like austerity over there.
They apparently will pay Leicester a £250k compensation fee for Bassey. So I suppose that’s two fees.
TONYROME
Best wishes young mhan!
Hope you have a great day!
Compensation for Bassey……. Shirley?
