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.

I take it no one had a look back at Palma’s Sand Wedge pass for MJ goal?.To busy with whinging.
I checked it out a minute after seeing your comment. It was indeed a perfect chip.

Brian Quinn was booed in 2005 when we were ahead of a much better Rangers team and we had Balde, McNamara, Lennon, Petrov, Thompson, McGeady, Maloney, Bellamy, Hartson and Sutton in the team. Two years on from Seville and a year on from one of the best Celtic teams ever.
Its not exactly productive (we lost the game and went on to lose the league as a result) but its also not unique.
We’ll get the same story in 20 years time, the people being booed now will be seen in a much more favourable way, although god knows what perceived “disaster” will be the cause of it then.
“seville money” = “cash pile”
?
“Life in the slow lane” = “European failure”
?
Is there an element of self-sabotage in any protests on Sunday?
And finally does the lack of on-field bad guys (Huns, refs, Greg Taylor, Huns) in the close season mean we all look that bit harder at other people to get angry at?
Tom,
It was indeed.The ball actually stopped about a foot from MJ,no need to break stride.Try to share things,but so many more interested in Agendas.As I said,their loss.
Which Celtic site has called for a protest on Sunday?
SFTBs,
Indeed.Talking to some Camera Crew they were saying it went out to 10s of millions,all over the world.Massive audience.Nearly as many trying to get in to the Beach restaurants at night when the gorgeous girls were in eating.

I don’t think you should see a lack of response as evidence that your comment was ignored. As I say, I went into YouTube and watched the pass and saw what you meant, but I didn’t immediately post a reply, until this morning.

For what it’s worth
No panic from me on transfer business in or out
Reality is whoever we buy has probably not been mentioned yet
Patience window has 4 plus weeks to go

41/2 weeks to go in the window,some wanting to protest at lack of signings.The keepers were the only emergency.We got them.Does anyone really think we need players in for Saturday.?They won’t play,we are not desperate.They all want quality,but won’t wait for it.
Boo. Boooooo
Sanity at last 🍺

That one’s nearly as good as the budgerigar bloke
I must admit to never having heard of Tommy Conway u til a couple of weeks ago .
I understand that he suffered from a mid – term ,length of injury .
I just watched a we clip of him .
He reminded me of a mix of Leigh Griffiths and Gary Hooper .
If he doesn’t have long term fitness issues ,he might be worth a punt .
He has a great accurate shot and can head the ball accurately although he is not the Sutton type .

Will Shankland be a Sevco player before he can do damage against them on Saturday ?

….
I very much doubt it , there is no resale value with Shankland , they are just floating stories to their favourite journalists to unsettle the lad before the game.

Tommy Conway committed himself to Scotland but must have asked himself why he bothered given he didn’t even get on the pitch at the Euros. Though him and Jamesie might have contributed something there. Currently marooned in the Bristol City U21s, but had a lot of game time last seaseson in the Championship and a decent scoring record. Scored goals in two FA Cup ties against West Ham also. Might fit the Paul67 criteria, and he definitely fits mine which is that any new signing must look like he has actually played the game before.

Shankland will score against the big huns on Saturday, in a rare victory for the minis. The huns will then likely face Kyiv, in Poland I think. Must be rare for two teams to play their home games away🤔
This time next week we will be top of the league ma
Nope, they’ll happily throw the game knowing there’s another 37 to go.
Shankland will not score. Did you see him in the semi-final??
Share price on way up again. Somebody is buying whatever they can.
The question is who.
Celtic will parade three new signings on Sunday .
“ Football agent Pini Zahavi is rumoured to have made a strong connection with Celtic Manager ,Brendan Rodgers .
Zahavi has been tasked by clubs in the Saudi Pro League to move out of favour players back to European clubs .
Zahavi’s business partner , Walter Palombo has strong links to serie A clubs in Italy .
Contact was made last season with a view to moving Jordan Henderson to Celtic .
The deal proved too expensive Celtic and Henderson joined Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Leaving Rodgers disappointed that he was not able to re -engage with his former Liverpool captain .
It is rumoured that Zahavi has made Rodgers aware that former Celtic player Jota is available .
Due to finances a deal is thought to be a long way off .
Rodgers is said to be keen on three players and deal are likely to be concluded this week .
The three players ,Alon – egol. Skorer , Mizpl – Azed Pazz ,and Blin Dazzab Arndore have already passed medical in London ,and are expected to be paraded at Celtic Park on Sunday ,before the SPFL champions raise the league flag against Kilmarnock .”

Same old garbage
Rule No1- don’t criticize the Club
Rule No2- don’t criticize the Club ever
Let’s not try and be the best we can be,just stay ahead of the huns,and all in the World is good,zero ambition from the Board and the Negatrons on here.
…………………….
Nail hit firmly on the head. The Board are there to be held accountable lest they allow the club to stagnate. When things go well I’m happy when they muck things up like appoint a manager in the showers after throwing the other applications in the bin then it’s time to get the pitchforks out and assemble in the car park. Similarly when they allow Eddie Howe months to decide whether or not he’ll deign to accept the role of Celtic manager. Sometimes you have to stuff professionalism down the throats of some people after you’ve delivered a swift boot up the jacksie.

Very good thought I heard their names announced over the Glasgow airport tannoy last year !

Police may be wondering were do you put 2,500 Celtic fans in hampden. For security reasons probably the South Stand🤔
