The most striking aspect of our preseason games is just how synchronised everyone is. We look like a team in every sense of the word. Contrast that with the disjointed look we had at the start of last season, with then new manager Brendan Rodgers changing things around. Or worse, those early days of Ange Postecoglou, when we fielded a defence of Ralston, Welsh, Murray and Taylor in a Champions League qualifier.
Celtic will start the season on Sunday with a settled team and manager, and should make good headway early in the season as a result. There will no doubt be disruption before the end of August, though. Players will arrive into the first team, while none of us will be confident of keeping Matt O’Riley until the window closes. Stability never lasts long in football.

‘ Rebel Idah disciplined by Norwich, following derisory offer’
Big Idah did not turn up for the Norwich team flight,and will now face disciplinary action.
Good stuff on here today.
And a lovely sunny day to boot.
Assume Paul67 took the opportunity to cut his grass?
TavPen set to join GoldsonHandball.
At Celtic by the weekend.

Agree 100% with your defensive concerns, especially left sided. Unless we have something better lined up I’d be happy with McKenna. He isn’t without weakness but he also has his strengths. I’m sure Sevco are keeping an eye on his situation. But we simply must address glaring defensive fragility.
Compare with bog standard “just pay the money, Celtic” line.
Genuine question 1 : If we get Bernardo for £3.5m instead of £6m will anyone complain?
Genuine question 2 : What do people on here (and elsewhere) think Celtic are holding onto money for?
BSR,
Would that fee be,whisper it” Undisclosed”
If that Gerrard had moved quicker,he could have had both for£15 million.Only stopped by Ettifaqs CEO,Abdullah Alawwelli dithering.
Murray/Evans win 1st set
When they talk about a “undisclosed fee” it’s the fee they had to pay him to leave!!
Mazzy,and Stebhoy
Aye very good,we don’t want no steenking quality,we will take second class now.
Celtic B 2-0 down against East Kilbride
HOT SMOKED
😂👍
Idah downing tools at Norwich
Might suggest that paying them what they want to get him in quick might not have been the best strategy

Stebhoy,
No idea why you keep going on,and on,and on,See if by end of August,we have no players ,good ones signed,I will join you in constantly whinging,as will the rest of the fans.Why are you whinging at the moment?Why?.4,1/2 weeks to go.We are trying to do deals the manager wants as I speak and you whinge.
That’s enough,desist,stoap it,put a soak init,haud yer weesht.🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

Batted away sensibly enough by Calum but it still generated a headline
My preference for our people … when faced with a question which includes the “R” word … would be to quietly say
“I represent Celtic. I’m not going to answer that question”
Adam Idah doing his bit ..

Nail on head pal.
Mibbees Brendan Rodgers is a spoiled brat? 👍
…………..…
Have you ever came across a Landed Gentry-££££multi-millionaire-Landlord-Celtic-manager who isn’t a spoiled brat?
If you are going to buy CL group tickets be better to a look at this and guess what might be just around the corner.

And with the lockdown enthusiasts now in Government anything could and probably will happen.
I’m glad I don’t use the internet anymore.
If that is true about Idah, we should move on to another target.
A year and a half from now he will be trying to pull the same stunt with us.
Shades of van hood ok, di canio, viduka etc.
Well after 2 months of telling us all,that,any day now Gerrrrraaaaarrrrrd,would be swooping to sign,the Laurel and Hardy double act from Govan,does anyone think Jackson and cronies will be feeling right Tits now?.
Not a bit.Already moved on.Sportswriter Of the Year,dontcha know.
i dont use the internet anymore …………..
says a guy posting on a blog and adding a link all hosted on the world wide web.
maybe he thinks it is just magic.
GGH,
Just the merest of suggestion of Bollox in your last post.
🤐
a follow on to the adam idah stuff ……………. so he turned up late for the team flight, then had to follow on in another flight,
his “internal issues” was he is still pished fromwinning the double.
old yin but …………..
customs asked him “do you have anything to declare ?”
insert punchline here.
Someone remind me how much the SMSM told us Gerrard would pay.
Was it £10m a pair 😂
Boots going through the TV screen as Soldiers Song plays in loyal living rooms….
test
Have we signed anybody yet to get awe excited about?
Do we need to sign anybody given our recent results?
Turkeybhoy
😂
At least it is a change from the total bollox I usually post.
HH
It would be nice if one of those clever people screen shot or bookmarked this slippage.

East Kilbride 3 Celtic B 0
Evans/Murray blow 2nd set tie-break
Now into Match tie-break
Sorry, couldn’t help myself:
Ettifaq are ramping up their summer plans by “preparing” a move for Tavernier and Goldson that they hope will tempt the Light Blues to sell their captain and centre-back stalwart. Ettifaq are said to have “stepped up” with the duo being on Gerrard’s shopping list this summer.
James Tavernier and Connor Goldson were both this week linked with a money-spinning transfer switch to Saudi.
Rangers: James Tavernier & Connor Goldson would ‘cost a lot of money’, says Philippe Clement.
If you could get somewhere, £8,9,10million for the both of them they’d obviously snap their hands off.
……….
My favourite is the word “tempt” by the DR. Turns out they’ve probably been paid to leave 😂
Great planning, sign a player a day before a CL game,play him despite not knowing his team mates names and hope for the best,a la Jo Inge Berget,despite what the manager told us on Saturday….
Fantastic last lap for Univ of Stirling’s Duncan Scott to win 200m Mens relay final
Well done Andy Murray 👍
I like the swimmers tracksuits and trainers, might not look quite so good on me though
