Paulo Bernardo was one of a clutch of players who raised the level on Sunday to achieve a comfortable victory. He did more than enough to ensure he will keep his place for the visit of Hearts in 11 days. By then, he will be close to fully fit, having started his preseason when joining the club at the beginning of August.
Arne Engels will likely make an appearance from the bench in that game, and in the next against Slovan Bratislava. The League Cup tie at home to Falkirk should give Brendan Rodgers an opportunity to start Arne.
Watching Stiliyan Petrov on TV coverage at the weekend brought back memories of one of our big success stories in central mid. Stiliyan was 19 and a full Bulgarian international when he arrived in Glasgow, but his first season was far from promising. Announced as one of Europe’s most promising young talents, we couldn’t see what the fuss was about.
John Barnes did not help, when he played him at right back. The sight of Motherwell’s Lee McCulloch whipping past him, as 10-man Well won at Celtic Park, still lingers. Stiliyan needed time to cope with his new environment. Playing where you are expected to win every game is different than anything he knew back in Bulgaria, or that Arne experienced in Augsburg.
I could also make the case that our priorities should be to develop both Paulo and Arne. That way, we have a procession of talent available to step up when one leaves. For me, that means Paulo keeps his place.

We need 8 Scottish based/ raised players in CL Squad
Paul’s reference to Stillian takes me back. There was a minor fanfare when he signed. But his performances at right back convinced me that the young Bulgar would never make it in GlasgoowIt all goes to show how well Ican assess potential.
Stillian became an absolute star and a fine ambassador for the club.. One thing about his induction into the club which surprises – it seems that this young eastern zEuropean was left to his wn devices to find friendds and learn English
You’d have thought that the club should have doene better by a youngster new to the culture and the language
Barnardo does remind me of Stan Petrov
He will be huge for us this year.
Looking back at him hatate and Matt, they all took a good 6 months or so to settle in
We will lean heavy on Barnardo till Engels gets up to speed

Darwin What upgrades are the doing up in Lennoxtown

Celtic Interim Accounts February 2024
Celtic chiefs have revealed a £5m investment in facilities as cash and cash equivalents reduced in the club’s interim accounts.
We look forward to the creation of our new Barrowfield facility which is scheduled for the end of 2024 and will bring high quality facilities for our women’s and academy squads. We are also nearing the completion of a significant investment in Lennoxtown delivering new First Team and B Team changing areas and a newly- enhanced medical and sports science facility. Investment in infrastructure is a key component of success in modern football.
Glad to help!

Yeah, ive timed out a few times waiting on a pesky one time password that never came.
Trying now to get one time password sent to the wifes phone as she has better Wi fi than ive got.
Ffs, it shouldnt be this difficult.
Holm should get more SPFL game time,30 minute sub appearances, much more often,maybe a start to get him more game time.Hopefully,that’s why he was not loaned out.

But they say they “put forward a number of alternative options, including an earlier kick-off and a fixture reversal, but all were rebuffed by the other stakeholders involved”

Darwin has there been a indoor pitch added up in Lennoxtown, and how is Barrowfield Training centre coming along ,and thanks for your earlier reply to me.
Brilliant link posted earlier to Liverpool pricing structure for Champions League.
Quite a wide spread across a range higher and lower than our tickets.
I’d be interested to know how the average ticket price at Celtic Park compares to other British clubs .. assuming all games sell out with season ticket holders taking up their full allocation.

SS,

They also sold their women’s “club” to the parent company for gazillions.
Let’s see if the EPL can avoid breaking their rules during the pursuit.
i went past barrowfield sunday after the match, lots of sequential progress, looks like a building site, but one with ;ots of materials and equipement.
pure guess teams could be playing there before year end.
Dear oh dear,what kind of nonsense is this.
“James Tavernier is being urged,(to take a drastic wage cut)to sign for a Turkish team in the next two weeks of their window.His contract runs out in 2026,which leaves Rangers in a COMMANDING POSITION to negotiate.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Turks,” We want £5 million to take him”
Huns,”We are in command here,we will pay£3 million,not a penny more”
You can see the new roof on Barrowfield from the top of East Kilbride Rd heading towards the city…….which is nice
TB
Do they not realise that if he has a contract till 2026 on more money than he can get in Turkey, Tavpen is the one in a commanding position?
He can pick up wages for two years them leave on a Bosman and the Huns are fecked.
I’ll be disappointed if tav leaves.
witz will like this,
there was some metal siignage at barrowfield, some of the plastic sheeting is off it, so i could make out some of the words,

Imagine what Tavpen must feel as looks at Maeda in the tunnel.
SS
A much deserved honour for our ex ceo
TavPen is a classic example of Sevco contract mismanagement that prevents a sustainable business. Good servant, decent player but grossly overpaid, reaches late career, and his performance levels drop, as he gets older. Add in ‘disappointments’ and its curtains for any testimonial year, he’ll be given away for an ‘undisclosed fee’.
The new Philipe Clement contract and timing was a surprise, probably for him and his agent as well, a theory is, that they are paying him more ‘for the moment’. Bennet and co, grasped a chance to greatly reduce his “pay off” seeing what was coming down the pike. All flushed down by those raging bears, but headed off by the smarter than average bears, that probably cost them their Europa money, by having to play at Hamdump.
Tavpen is due a testimonial next year, at this rate the can open one stand….bottom tier🙃
Imagine what Tavpen must feel as he looks at Maeda in the tunnel.

A new AI-generated song for Celtic star, Kyogo Furuhashi has emerged this week and it did start to split the Hoops’ support.
×
Kyogo is obviously an iconic and very popular figure amongst the Celtic fans and after his goal against Rangers on Sunday, the Japanese striker went up another notch in the fans’ adulation.
And to be honest, the Celtic striker should have had two goals against Rangers if a dodgy VAR call hadn’t intervened.
Anyway, I digress. Back to the song. To celebrate the striker, a Celtic fan made up a song, or should I say asked AI to make up the song, about Kyogo and the verdict amongst the support was split.
Until they heard the ending. Take a listen to this:

Celtic fans love the new Kyogo song
I’m not going to lie, it’s a catchy wee number and it seems to have gone down with the Celtic support:

Ezoic
The next Celtic fan just loved the chorus:
The ending made it for this Celtic fan:
And this Celtic fan’s favourite part? Take a guess:
Can you hear this song being played in Graces anytime soon? Probably not but it is a funny and catchy wee tune that would be class being heard belted out from the Parkhead stands in the next Rangers game.

Dodds and the Shortie crew were giving it tight to Tavpen post-match on Sunday.
As much as I didn’t mind it, I found it curious Dodds would single out Tavpen so aggressively.
As with most things hun related there’s always a reason and lo’, the Turkish transfer window is open for another week.

BSR – accurate description of James Tavernier.
“Good servant, decent player”
Genuinely not at the wind up here because it’s R2ngers.
I think he has been treated disgracefully.
The club and it’s supporters have no concept of loyalty or respect.
They needed heroes to sell tickets.
They made Tav a hero, piling on the positive superlatives when the rest of the world could see him for what he is.
A good footballer with a great delivery, above average athleticism and no defensive instincts whatsoever.
I also agree with previous comments about how he comes across. Seems like a decent fellow.
Now, the unloyal, disrespectful hordes are indulging in full scale revisionism because he’s lost half a yard and earns a lot.
“A liability. Always has been !”
Footballers have short careers.
And they need to eat when they retire.
In this FSR era, a minority of clubs are trampling on the rights of players they readily agreed contracts with previously.
A quick look at his appearance stats by season over 9 years on Wiki is revealing.
50 games

Stick around James, collect your dough and count your money.
You’ve earned the right and you don’t owe these clowns a thing.
I read if Hagi starts another game,a 6k a week rise…..I think they let players and agents write their own contract over there,I think same with Goldson, about half a dozen games left last season, he was ‘ injured ‘
Bada
Given their predecessor club were past masters
Michael Ball’s transfer to Rangers included instalments payable after fixed numbers of appearances. As Ball approached 60 appearances Rangers became reluctant to play him, as doing so would trigger a £500,000 payment to Everton.[12] As a result, Ball played only four matches in the first four months of the 2004–05 season. The scenario was eventually resolved in December 2004 when negotiations involving the player and the two clubs reached an undisclosed agreement.[13] With the contractual wrangling resolved, Ball returned to the first team, and won a Scottish League Cup medal and an SPL medal as Rangers won the 2004–05 title.

Good stats including the Petrofac days, this guy is older than them.
