Virgil van Dijk is a class defender, one of the best we’ve seen in recent decades, but there’s no revelation in the fact that he would consider moving to the right club at a more testing league; they all would. The only pertinent fact about Virgil is that several clubs may put that to the test later this year.
The main thing to consider with Virgil is that he’s not likely to ‘Do a Kelvin’, and report as not in the right frame of mind to play, midway through Champions League qualifiers. With Jason Denayer wanted back in Manchester, it’s important Celtic retain Virgil for the qualifiers, or are sufficiently compensated before then that they can confidently secure the early signatures of prime targets.
From what I hear, Virgil’s been more than professional in his dealings with the club. He’s not running campaigns to leave and despite the plainly obvious that they would all like to play for Real Madrid, if the right move doesn’t materialise, he’ll get stuck in at Celtic for next season. So it’s not time to reminisce on favourite VVD moments yet, like the time that wee boy bounced off him at Hampden.
Trophy Day at Celtic Park is coming up on Sunday, 24 May when we play Inverness, when the Foundation will be distributing badges before the game to raise funds for the enormous work they do for the local homeless, the world’s poor, those with autism, those with Downs, and many more people and families who need your care.
You can participate in our annual Trophy Day by volunteering to work with the Foundation before kick-off. It is genuinely good fun and you get to step into the 127-year-old shoes those who have gone before you.
There are around 100 volunteers and we’re only looking for around 20 more, so get in soon by emailing cfcfoundation@celticfc.co.uk or calling 0141 551 4291.

Neymar 2-1 on the break. Suarez sets him up again after both Lewandowski and Muller had good chances.
Sorry , I’m doing an injustice to :
Stuart Slater, Andy Payton, and Wayne Biggins
Defensive error but clinical finishing too.

Celtswell at the far away end of the square up the top will show it for sure
Plenty Irish pubs down next to beach also
Seansplace used to show them too
hebcelt
Enjoy the show !!!
LiviBhoy 20:16,
I liked that thinking previously when you posted it. Kompany played crap, as you predicted, even dropped.
I hope Both get to experience Celtic Champions League nights, as Celtic Players. It is the Biggest of Moments in All Superstar Footballers lives.
Brilliant bit of skill from Suarez there, back heeling the ball on the turn over the defender.
I am, along with many others, you? H H Hebcelt
incredible save.
What a save!!!
Keeper outstanding there for Barca.
*****CQN Predictor Cup Finals*****
Good Evening fholks
For the final 4 contenders, it is their chance of glory this weekend. Matches played over 1 leg. If it is a draw, then we will countback the points in this game and those that have scored the most 10pts this weekend will win (if number of 10pts the same, then we move to numbers of 7pts, then 5pts and so on until we have a winner). Hopefully, this will work!
The contenders are:
CL Final
Jobo Balde v Penfold
EL final
Dick Byrne v McFudge
and the final fixtures are:
Game no Matchday Final – 15-17 May 2015 H A
1 1 Friday St Johnstone Celtic
2 1 Saturday QPR Newcastle

Love watching Barca in full flow but really hate the way some of them fall over and scream as soon as someone looks at them!
Lewandovski is a real centre forward – would love to see him in the hoops!
HH
Bar a keeper almost as good as oor Craig!!!! H H Hebcelt
Bar a=Barca
Hebcelt,
Gordon woulda caught it :)
What a great volleyed pass there from you know who to Neymar!
Terrible, how can a Bayern player be offside like that?
Barca are in the Final.

There are folk that enjoy the Hralem Globetrotters.
I enjoyed watching European fitba whe their was a semblance of a level playing field.
The Celts took them on and beat them
Did you ever see that?
HH – each to their own
“Més que un club”
BM playing far too high up the pitch,thru ball on every time
Lewandovski, Diego Costa…. These guys are the identi-kit centre forwards, that all top level managers want.
Unfortunately there are only a handful of top class target men, of their ilk.
6ft 3 in height, mobile, powerful, technically sound, top level finisher…
Come to think of it, where is big Amido ?
HT 1-2.
How not to panic when you lose an early goal away from home.
Sixtae seven
Football is corrupt from the top down
We know this but is doesn’t stop me enjoying watching Barca in full flight
Where do you start or stop
Scottish football is rotten to the core due to bigotry doesn’t stop us enjoying the Celtic

Kompany looks a man out of sorts and maybe struggling with injury.
It’s all pie in the sky. Virgil will probably end up at a Sunderland, Villa, West Ham or similar.
By the way Neymar gaining some revenge against the Germans tonight and last week. That nation will still be in pain with that result but Brazil future looks bright with that wee fella.

Quality tennis.
Good first half
HH
On some levels, Barca are class. On others they are debt bloated monsters, just like the rest of them.
Am pretty ambivalent about the latter stages of CL these days.
Livibhoy
He’s having a great season, especially coming back from that horrific injury at the World Cup.
Juve sorted into the Final….
I reckon the Italiano’s need an Amphetamines Boost, no all the World know about Amphs, they dinnae ken about Dallas. Dallas, huh? ;))
Got it. So Unquestioning Believers ..Drink The Kool Aid..Thank You BMCW and SFTB…More Than a Few Kool aid Drinkers on CQN..in my Humble Opinion..Myself excluded ..Obvs…
Messi and Pep going off together, mutual affection still apparent.
Sixtaeseven see it? I was there, one of the best days of my life, let’s not fall out. I appreciate your view on the Barca financial state/model. Hail Hail Hebcelt
Paul Scholes great footballer.
Modern footballer.
Never done an interview his whole career. Offer his a sack of cash and a TV job he is all over it.
Think about it Bhoys. VVD will be away if the money ticks the boxes.

If yer gonna run up massive debt best to do it producing brilliant football.
Great to watch.

——-
It’ll be 10 versus 13 if broonie so much as farts!

LiviBhoy,
Neymar isnae the guy that can deliver….
A wee guy that, You know will Take Celtic so Far.
Retribution
Delighted to see Leigh enjoying Hibs winning.
Dia dhaoibh, a chairde,
Met ClogherCelt earlier to discuss ideas for Dublin 2016. Great ghuy and he’ll be on in due course to give details of our plans. If you haven’t been in touch yet and would like to know more contact CC @

I think you are missing the point on that. Rules should be in place not to allow it. Messi got done for tax too. I watch the fitba and enjoy it BUT it’s unethical in so many ways these days.
That shouldn’t be forgotten.

FOOTBALL – Is Important.
Leigh Supporting Hibs is Amazing!!!!!!!
