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.

Adidas deal due to end next year
Celtic signing Immi Nent
Good afternoon all from the Victoria Bar. A fine afternoon in the Green Mile.
BSR- I think by all accounts Adidas would want to keep us
BADA
Yes agree 👍
Celtic sign Ahmno Abilly Ahmatim from Cliftonville.
The window that just keeps on dithering.
Sack the board
eat more fruit
3 kits released in a summer again.
rampant capitalism on display.
i would like the plc to become more sustainable in this, less commercial and more green.
we have enough product, the buyer demand is there, but it is such an unnecessary strain on the environment.
adidas contract up next season i think.
tell the next supplier, there will be one kit released per season, year 1 will need 3 new ones but there after, only 1 per season.
become a leader in sustainability celtic plc, it is easy, you will still make mney.
If waiting on new signings is the equivalent of being at the airport waiting to board the plane then I’m still sitting on my backside watching all the bampots queuing up before the flight is called.
Although I fully expect some players in I wouldn’t be surprised if we are one short , after all we need something to moan about until January.
…….tiresome…..
next –
in raw capitalism, the prices charges for CL packages last season where outrageous, in particular for kids.
we will announce the year end accounts in september 2024.
Cash on hand, guess work , somewhere between £50-£80 million, dependent on when transfer monies came in, and how much capex was actually spent.
Now, shareholders get their 3.6p divident in the pound, this is radical but why not award a “season book holders benefit”
CHAMPIONS ;EAGUE PRICES HELD – WATHCH 4 HOME GAMES FOR THE PRICE OF 3,
Cost to the plc – £2m. They will make that up with the Scotland participation money if we are sole representatives.
DO SOMETHIN G POSITIVE WITH THE CASH.
remembering during covid 53,000 people bought a book with no attendnace at games, this in part is why we are cash rich. they played games without the costs of hosting fans.
TRY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT FOR THE FAN BASE,
BE BRAVER
I don’t think you’re well….
Celtic v Hibs League Cup
Sunday 18th at 3pm
https://x.com/celticfc/status/1818285688854659419?s=46&t=6moN3cXnYsvu6oWnJfs7BA
Hibs arrive at Parkhead on Sunday, August 18 at 3,00pm
live on Premier Sports
Thanks Tom, in there with real news first.
SS- Take a seat, you’ve earned it
The wummin’s team are signing Miss A. Sitter
No Saturday games til September
We should put in a decent public bid for Shankland .
Up the ante on the Huns. He probably wouldn’t come anyway but I would take him. Decent SPL player who can play when we rotate the forwards particularly after ECL games.
Celtic recruitment team are not asleep at the wheel – they’ve not got to the van yet ! 6-8m for idah is a steal and will sell for much more as he develops! What’s keeping them?
Left back – they’ve only know for over year that we need replacement or back up.
Fans have done their bit, Rodgers has got the team playing beautifully – but same old same old recruitment is slow and lacking ambition!
I get the feeling we wait for scraps (opportunistic v planned) – push Norwich to the limit and not wanting unhappy player , wait for whose left as players come and go during last week of August.
They have the mentality of a Scottish team rather than a European/champs league team.
So far – league is 50-50. Europe is more nearly made it
Some very good posts today, especially Saint Stivs on 30th July 2024 3:20 pm
Good people writing good posts that we can agree or disagree on.
In contast to the evil that visited Southport. There is such a thing as pure evil and beyond redemption
stebhoy on 30th July 2024 4:23 pm
league is 50/50 dearie me.
we have won 12 fro, 13.
i bet the odds are in our favour and the bookies seldom get it wrong.

Hope you are right BB.
Straight off the coach onto the pitch for a 3pm kick off.
No time for warm up, stretching, set piece practice or team talk.
Advantage us.

ta,
I am serious, in other businesses you attract loyalty and return buyers by sharing profitabily by way of price reductions and special offers.
regardless of the 2lets protest” groups, the loyalty is there, and a waiting list if true that will take up any void created, so if we cant spend it, start giving some back.
Like the socially consceise german clubs do.
like fergus did with “free” rail travel.
stop charging an arm and a leg for kids tickets in particular.
if old firmism is part of the financial success model, then we can afford to give something back.
wait and see the price for league cup tickets.
it would not kill the plc to reduce pricing and i mean real reductions, kids for a fiver say.
let people attend who cannot afford to or are locled out by the seat blockers.
do something, think radical and social.
but then again i suppose most of the board are tories.
According to reports (!) …. we have made an offer for Canada striker Jacen Russell-Rowe (no, me neither) …. which has been rejected by Columbus Crew.
According to same reports he is out of contract at end of this year?
Genuine question.
This “you can talk to anyone or sign a pre-contract in last six months of your contract” lark ….
…. Does anyone know if this applies only to UEFA jurisdiction or is it a worldwide thingy bobber?
I like Emile Smith-Rowe.
He’s a decent player … but £34m is rich.
Matt O’Riley at £27m would be a better buy IMHO.
BTW – Atalanta have just punted a 28-year old advanced midfielder who scored four goals in 42 games last season to a US club ….
…. for €15m euros !!!
Creating FSR and squad capacity perhaps?
If they take this €15m and add it to their most recent bid for Matt? …
… they might just get him.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
£8m on Barrowfield,
£2m on Lennoxtown.
£2m on Celtic Park PPM programme for the whole season
£2m on Celtic Park summer construction projects, main stand internal works for offices, directors box changing rooms, much of the analytics and medical departments are moving to Barrowfield.
So £14 million, I suppose booked into two years of the accounts, not financed but probably scheduled payments with progres completions.
Idah not stripped for Norwich game,2 in a row I think
Some ridiculous nonsense on here from folks who don’t have a clue as to the way a football club should be run sustainably.
Follow the old rangers model and spend with no strategy or structure just as they are realising they need to follow ours.
As well as reducing our chance of sustained dominance we also are sure certs to lose any financial and commercial lead we have.
But hey the voices of those with no experience or indeed no responsibility are demanding action.
Any action. None know who they want but they just want it. Spoiled brat CSC.
