There are three transfer deadlines Celtic and Hearts have to contend with this week: today, when the window closes in the five richest leagues, tomorrow at 11pm, when players need to be registered for European competition, and Thursday at 5pm, when the Scottish window closes. Smaller countries where the window closes later, can enjoy a few hours trade without being out-muscled by tiny (but comparatively rich) clubs.
So who are we up for? Dutch 19-year-old Joël van den Berg and Dane, Oliver Sørensen (24) arrived in Glasgow yesterday after medicals. Both are tall, mobile, midfielders and should be able to inject the kind of energy we missed so often over the last year.
Van den Berg arrives from PSV, where he was on the edge of breaking into the team, after the Eindhoven side cantered to the title last term. Sørensen left Midtjylland a year ago for Parma, where he played throughout the season but did not impress sufficiently for his new club to want to retain him. As we both know, we either have to be very early, or find someone who has not ticked all the boxes of an English side. Both are within development potential range, so fit the bill for Celtic.
Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone (33) will also be in town today to provide much needed competition to Viljami Sinisalo. Vil has started the season strongly (an indication of how porous we have been); I’m unclear which keeper Martin O’Neill will prefer. Johnstone played 12 EPL games last season but lost his place in December in a side which was by some margin the weakest in the league.
Cover is needed for other areas, mostly notably left back, where we currently have Kieran Tierney and a redeployed Liam Scales. The intensity of the season picks up from the middle of this month. It is not enough simply to be better than everyone else domestically, we need our backups to be able to complete too.

Chelsea striker in
Well,dont know if its good news,but watching Gineitis tonight,did not get overly involved.Played some good stuff,but not a great deal of efort.Maybe bad news.Maybe thats the way he always plays.
If he is signing,the moustache must have his Jet warming its engines now.
RB from Feyenoord wants to sign. Swiss international.27 years old.
Yes TB from AI
Celtic has officially launched a formal bid to sign Feyenoord’s 27-year-old Switzerland international right-back, Jordan Lotomba.
Has the young lad from psv signed he was a signing not a loan, that many on the go it’s confusing.
That’ll be 4 right backs and one left back then
I’m sure Lotomba can play right or left.
is pishspoon still talking without AT losing his shit at him???
;)

Good wee presser with Shaun earlier. Good info re injuries to Kasper, KT and Osmand, with even the latter’s not being as bad as it might have been.
Good day @ the market credit to all involved and welcome to all those who are passing through Parkhead’s gates. Lets see if we can get the best out of them and all those who sail in the good ship Celtica.
Also Johnstone the GK to add.
Busy window.
Some for now and some for tomorrow.
Hatate to Burnley, Burnley78. Apparently a done deal.
Clunks they would have swooped for me!!
philcool on 1st September 2026 11:40 pm
It would have slammed shut!!!
Nothing on the Celtic website to confirm Hatate’s departure, but he is no longer listed on the playing squad page.
So all the Hondas have now departed CP, although Shin Yamada is still on our books and currently on loan at OH Leuven in Belgium, where he has yet to make an appearance.
It’s on the Burnley website:

Sayōnara Reo !
Undisclosed fee, btw.
Not a big money deal then.
hatate like barnardo

Loved both of them, but shirts

*He’s just another usual suspect
No disrespect to Burnley, but Reo’s in for a bit of a culture shock! Though that said, Glasgow’s “culture” could be considered somewhat unique!
dont know what all the hurry is about
saturdays game is 8pm :)
(forget tomorrows)
right- in lieu of the Old Ship Bank, I’ve had to visit the Toll Booth, then Grace’s where a German Tim ‘n wheelchair bound Jim helped me negotiate purchasing a GS ticket for tomorrow.
I then walked up to the 32 Counties- despite very good Guinness and grea4 hospitality from the Derry barman, a f twat from Galway took the piss out of me all night- had to walk away from the cnut and told the barman that too!

Just as they were coming up,
At their greatest
Before fame polluted them,
Sanitised them
Before they believed their own bullsh!t
Just the right amount of gear |
Hitting them at the right time
Before it destroyed them
Glorious

If we don’t win the Europa League trophy will there be 53,000 pitchforks in the carpark or is there only one real and true pitchfork? 👀
PS….
If we play the traditional MON way then we will shock troop our way to that trophy imho!
Shaun and his Belgium experiment is not for Celtic.
Although big Fozzy has untapped Mark McGhee-isms going on.
McGhee-ism = a big grizzly bassa who isn’t there to be messed around.
Celtic ere Legendary – Belgium is a fad for cafe latte types.
Just my opinion.

Shut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are in the moosic hour
