There’s turmoil in the Zenit St Petersburg squad. Two players, striker Artem Dzyuba and midfielder Oleg Shatov, are in conflict with the club and will not travel to their winter training camp in Dubai.
Both players are current Russia internationals; Dzyuba scored eight goals in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, making him the country’s top scorer in the tournament. Zenit face Copenhagen in Dubai on Monday, the first of six friendly games, before they face their first competitive game of 2018, in Glasgow, four weeks tomorrow. Their last game was on 11 December.
Some poor Celtic scout will be charged with taking in Zenit’s three games in Dubai next week. It is a thankless job.

NEW CQN PODCAST OUT NOW FEATURING TOMMY SHERIDAN
A Celtic State of Mind presents its 30th instalment of insightful discussion around the culture of Celtic Football Club, the city of Glasgow, and fans of the reigning treble-winning Scottish champions.
Kevin Graham is joined by Scotty Alcroft to interview Scottish pro-independence politician, Tommy Sheridan, at The Penalty Spot in Glasgow.
The interview took place as part of A Celtic State of Mind’s first live event – Five-a-sides at The Penalty Spot – and, as such, there is some background noise (including mobile interference – apologies) from the audience.
The other voice you may hear throughout this episode is that of former Celtic striker, Frank McGarvey, who is a friend of Tommy’s, and who was also interviewed separately that day for a future show.
You are sure to enjoy Tommy’s eclectic input, as he discusses everything from Catalan independence to Coolio, with a constant undercurrent of that thing called Celtic.

I think it’s a bit much
Awe you guys jockeying for position.
Rein it in will ya?
Some of us are saddled with angry dispositions
Celtarella
Excessive use of the whip in final furlong gets you a 3 day ban !!!
By the way lets not forget Big Jimmy actually listed the winner of the race ( Morning Vicar) in the his list of Henderson Horses earlier.
Dont want to be upsetting Big Jimmy now do we.
Thats Celtarellas job.
Jimmy relax pal and keep putting up your selections,This is all a bit of fun
Cheers Big Jimmy, I had 2 winners today,HH
Yes Big Jimmy I have no objections to anyone discussing any topic on here. But I appreciate you being so honest
Magill has returned to the blog?
Good.
3 x 40p doubles & an 80p treble.
HH.
The only thing I’ve ever watched with horses in it ( and enjoyed ) was the movie “Equus” with Jenny Agutter” ;-)
Some folk trying to stirrup trouble?
At least ole Derek waited till his first game before getting injured.
Actually my wife has told me she thinks I’m addicted to horse racing and if I dont give it up she will take my daughters and leave.
They’re standing at the gate as I type this
AND they’re off!!!!

What about the Apocalypse Banner?

The Sevco PR ‘machine’ (also known as the Scottish media) seems to have adopted an interesting new tactic.
It involves digging up an ex Rangers player such as Amaruso or McCall to warn any club Celtic ‘might’ be buying from to double the asking price and any club who ‘might’ be buying from Celtic to half the price quoted in the press.
In addition, any player Sevco might be interested in ,should be sold to them for half the price quoted and any Sevco player they are anxious to offload is suddenly worth twice their actual value!
You couldn’t make it up……but the media could!
BSR
That’s lame! :)
BJ
Thanks for those horses got 5s7/4 on yards jockey keep it up big j,HH
It’s hard going on this site at times. Honestly, I bridle at some of the comments.
Auldheid.
Are you a master of the dark arts? :-))
I just read on Twitter that @Scottish cup @William Hill Twitter account has been suspended.
Hail Hail
I backed a horse at 20 to1 . It came in at half past three…..
Celtarella
It was meant to be Derk as well
Cant be arsed with transfer window times as its most always a let down. I get that we either sign young upstarts or older experienced players, i get it.
But spare me the nonsense about not bring able to afford to sign quality players, there are 1000 of young men who are good enough and would jump at the chance to sign up for the celtic. what the scouts doing cause we are not exactly looking far and wide are we i.e chelsea/ man city unders etc.. Think we should ask them to earn their living and go unearth some quality prospects.
Another thing, this is not the fergus Mccann years, why we throwing in the overall cost of a player i.e £5 million fee + £2 million wages over 4 Year = £13 million, ffs we pay the fee and wages over the course of the contract so is or should be caluclating into 4 Year cycle surely.
BR is said to want to work with a smaller squad but it remain far big with players who are nowhere near good enough.
Sorry but i struggling to understand what the fuck has ddv’s, gamboa, hayes, eboua, and the new frensh striker offers yet BR purchased them all and most likely at great expense… Then we have the other boys like henderson, bitton, allen, christie’s and chefchi etc… who offers the subtotal of zero most of the time.
For a club that cant afford good wages we seems fairly happy to throw away millions on wages and feel every Year with no return.

Who won in the fight between Big Jimmy and Big Jimmy?
JIMMYNOTPAUL on 17TH JANUARY 2018 2:05 PM
Compper out for 3/4 weeks with calf injury.
Hail Hail

“ I think that was sloppy from Celtic and they should have known Marvin Compper would get injured before he’d kicked a ball in earnest “
Chris Sutton
If we sign Jack Hendry now it’ll be like locking the stable door after horse has bolted .
I see its horses fur courses on here.
Ach well.
Any word on Dunky yet ???

Steven Neigh Smith snubs Sevco
LIAM HENDERSON has joined Italian Serie B side, Bari, on a permanent deal. The 21-year-old midfielder is a graduate of the Celtic Youth Academy and made his first-team debut for the Hoops against Motherwell at Fir Park on December 6, 2013, coming on late in the game to replace Scott Brown.
Besiktas left sided centre half Dusko Tosic has been allowed to leave his clubs training camp, as an offer has been accepted from SOMEONE.
Hail Hail
What has Jack Hendry got that Kris Ajer hasn’t got??
Haven’t seen much of JH so what’s all the fuss about??
HH
Football players get injuries its part of the course, lets hope martin is back soon and eating his crust hh
welcome to, racing quick news, only jokin big jimmy.hh.
RUSSELL Martin last night admitted the chance to work with Rangers manager Graeme Murty had convinced him to move to Ibrox on loan until the end of the season.
From The Herald
Dusko Tosic is 33 on Friday and plays in the same position as Compper.
A few horses ar$#$ on here….;)
Good luck Liam, all the best to you son:))
Steven Naismith had offered to play for Sevco for nothing. Sevco were about to secure his services with an improved offer of minus £20 a week when Hearts swooped with an even better offer of minus £30 a week.
Dispiriting is the only word to describe our situation today.
Days away from the season resumption and there Aintree missing defenders. There’s four.
shame, liam used to remind me of a young kenny dalglish, the way he shielded the ball with his backside.
Duško Tošić is 1.85M
tribute to St DBBIA
Good luck to Liam, I’m sure we will sign you back in 7 or 8 yrs for 20 mill give or take a mill.
