Marco Tilio made a late substitute appearance in Australia’s final Asian Cup warm-up game against Bharain on Saturday. The player is clearly valued higher in his home country than around Lennoxtown. With little prospect of a promotion to the Celtic starting line-up ahead, any chance the player has to shine would be useful for him and the club.
Oh Hyeon-gyu played the first half of Korea’s game against Iraq on the same day. There is little chance of Oh moving on this month but, like Marco, he is a player who would benefit from gametime in Qatar.
Japan’s opener against Vietnam on Sunday will attract most attention from Celtic fans. Reo Hatate should be close to full fitness, although I doubt he will start the game. Daizen Maeda led the line for Japan at the World Cup, when they expected to play a counter-attacking game. Tactics will be different against Vietnam than they were against Spain, so Daizen may not play the same role.
Again, you and I will lie in our beds at night pondering why one of the greatest Celtic players of this century is on a beach somewhere right now.
The Sun report Celtic have received a work permit for Nicolas Kuhn. This detail is usually completed after paperwork is signed. Hopefully we’re a ‘Ross Hall moment’ away from getting this one over the line.

Quite pleased that Adam Montgomery has been recalled to Celtic. Not that I expect him to join the first team squad, but with Calum Davidson taking over at Queens Park, a manager who gave Adam most of his game time, there is an opportunity for him to go on loan and continue his er development. Doesn’t surprise me that he is being written off by some on here, same happened to Liam Scales not so long ago. Having seen Adam play I think he has something about him, and as for Fleetwood Town they are heading back down a division under Charlie Adam. Maybe Brendan will make him Greg Taylor’s understudy, might do, if not Queens Park is the best bet.
Without going into finite details, we can easily afford 4/5 £10m players at circa £30k a week…without going into the red….if we wanted to….but it seems money (and bonuses) in the bank is WAY more important
Wee bevvy at the Shipbank on Friday 26th January at 12, if embdy interested.

The major contributing factor to Fleetwoods down turn ,is that their sugar Daddy owner looks like going to jail for fraud .
The money pit has stopped.

Our greatest ever foreign player cost £650,000 in 1997.
Using the same BOE calculator that would be circa £1.25 m today.
Scouting is sooooo important.

Players like him at that price come but once in a lifetime
Spend the money we’ve earned.
This could very well be our rainy day….to be continued…..
……in the meantime….£70,000,000 sits idly in the bank….
tinytim
Think he might be there already.

The £70m is not idle
Apart from earning interest for the suits…..what else is it doing?
I could live off the interest 🤑
Well it’s certainly not buying the quality players Brendan says the team needs

He wasn’t scouted .
He was known to Wim .

Absolute nonsense.Where we going to get 4 or 5 10 million pound players at 30 grand a week.What decade are you i?,the 90s.Where would we play these players?Who would we drop?.Who would sit on the bench?.
You would be talking 60 grand a week,so in one season,all the money would be gone.Another Pandemic we are in the grubber,or has that no chance of ever happening again?.
Delusion is the problem with a great many of our support.

Good idea….lets fill the team with cheap players and hope they’re all as good as Lubo/Henrik.
Oops….we’re doing that already…right?
Shocking VAR decision in the EPL game tonight.Blatant foul on the keeper in added on time.Only ones who did not see it,Ref and VAR.Needs scrapped.If it had been us,FFS,raging would be mild.

Tell the blog…..who is your relation/pal on the board.
You can’t see past them when 90% of the support can..
Ever wonder about that?
Take that chip of your shoulder, wind your neck in and open your eyes…or at least put your specs on..
31003
Yep I was right,Lugo from the 90s.
Is there no end to this folly?🤔
“Where will you get 4/5 £10m players?
Probably the same teams were chasing the £2m players from…but they’ll be better
Ignore the spelling.Bloody piece of crap.Writes its own words.

Jeremy Fingpong £350k
Craig Gordon. Zilch.
Leigh Griffiths £1m
Tom Rogic Pennies.
Scott Sinclair. Minimal fee.
Moussa Dembele Development fee
Look at ” big” money players like Ajeti.
Money is not the only criteria to signing class.

But let’s keep buying cheap and hope to emulate
That way the suits can roll in it…
TINYTIM on 12TH JANUARY 2024 10:12 PM
True.
Sometimes it’s not what you know but who you know.
Wim, knew the game and the correct personnel. Of course that is why we acquired Wim despite many raised eyebrows at the time.
Cheers and HH
Give it a rest please gentlemen.

You ever notice,when they come on and make a total eejit of themselves,when they get called out,the caller is always a Board lover.Recurring theme on here.
Bite my ass????

Methinks you’re a wee bit mixed up…yes?
Notice it every time you post TURKEYBHOY
I picked the wrong day to stop washing my oxters.
31003,
Aye right.Make an arse of yourself and try to make out you were joking.
Go away in shame and cut your losses.
The board are penny pinching….pure and simple…prove otherwise
Our manager wants “4quality players”
They don’t come cheap……so far…whether you like it or not….we are not courting any so called “quality” players…..but that’s ok…cos we’ve got more money than Rangers
