van Dijk signs four year deal

1571

Absolutely delighted at the arrival of Dutch under-21 international central defender, Virgil van Dijk, on a four year deal.  A central defender was one of three priorities for this summer and we have secured our first choice target.

The signing will also give a boost to the squad, and a timely reminder to all that amidst talk of player potentially leaving ‘at the right price’, the Celtic Story is one of progress.

Celtic had the tallest team in the Champions League last season.  They were also top scorers from headed goals in the competition until Bayern Munich caught them in the semi-finals.  With the addition of two 6’4” players (van Dijk and Balde) we look to be consolidating our strengths.

Welcome to Celtic, Virgil.

Have you registered for 1254125 yet?  Tom Conniffe has.  He is walking the Leeds-Liverpool Canal in five days, which measures in a tad over 125 miles, all for the campaign.  It is this simple to participate; find something you can do, register online and get goingYou can support Tom here.

Last call for tonight’s special Lions Roar event.  Watch the 1967 European Cup final on big screens in the Kerrydale Suite followed by a Q&A with the men who made history (including Willie Wallace, Heart of a Lion available below).  See you there.

    Long time no speak…

     

     

    You need to speak to your mates as you were all invited up to the Wilie Wallace night last Thursday and we were told you Largs bhoys dont go outside the village at night… BMA’s brother and the rest of the committee done us proud with free drink.

     

     

    IF you fancy a night out at the big lights we have a charity race night on 26th July.. I hear your horse tips are good for charity making money

  6. Looking at next season and with our new, I’d guess first team players, it will be very interesting to see what is the strongest team.

    Thanks for sharing.

     

     

    Cloris Leachman & Ben Johnson were so good.

     

     

    In fact, faultless stuff throughout.

    Can heartily recommend Orvieto for a medium-distance day out and Viterbo for a closer-to-home one.

  9. From the excellent Corsica1968 on that Twitter

     

     

     

     

    I find this helps:

     

     

    Club became limited company

     

    Limited company became plc

     

    Plc was liquidated.

     

     

    The End.

  11. GL2 – ha! Tip from the top is usually if I back it – don’t !

     

     

    Moved from the seaside a few years ago – but have to say Largs CSC are one of the best – Mick H is just a gem, true Celt.

     

     

    Yer big mucker Pheersy is still the same – baldy!!

     

     

    I will rouse the Largs troops to get to the big smoke in Greenock for one of your nights soon!

    The original certificates issued in 1994 do not have any prefix letters in the CertNo.

     

     

    The ones for the share issues in 2000, have the letter P in front of the CertNo.

     

     

    If you signed up for the SCRIP Dividend Scheme in which you get shares in exchange for the value of your annual monetary dividend, then the CertNo. will prefix with SP.

     

     

     

    The GB prefix comes before a number on the certificates and is the ISIN number, whatever that is.

    Thanks for simplifying it.

     

     

    I don’t know why people are getting their knickers in such a twist. They are finito, although I can see a day when our development team has to face their latest manifestation, perhaps the really bitter ones will have given up the ghost by then, here is hoping.

     

     

    Steakbake is revered and feared, the ultimate cognitive dissonance.

  15. Davie a squad of us from the club were down in Largs a few weeks ago for a 50th I met M and C… Pheersy is Pheersy…

  17. It’s the wee small hours over here and I need my beauty sleep, a coma might be what is really needed but I’ll have to make do with a kip.

     

    If some one can identify the numbers on the share certificate for us it will help with requesting and logging the info.

     

    Thanks to all who are backing and encouraging, hopefully the next draft will be out in the next couple of days, your comments and ideas will be appreciated, objections welcome too, they might spark different ideas and directions.

     

    Hail Hail

  22. If Rangers became too big and too scary to have the rules applied to them, they were too big and too scary.

     

     

    We are all better off without them.

  23. Petec @ 22.15

     

     

    Efe a definite for next season? Please, no!

     

    A total liability. A very poor man’s Bobo. Get rid pronto.

  24. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Like a child could have the trigger, And the best man needn’t fall, To understand that heaven, Could be any place at all, Just five colours set in motion, And I try again to place it, And it’s features are obscured Everytime I turn to face it, But I still chase it.

     

     

    Oh it’s twists are cruel and hopeless, Like neglect has worn it thin, And it could rip the sky wide open, And let the rain come tumbling in.

     

     

    And we wait on every whisper, Like it makes us more alive, There’s a sense we didn’t have, And I feel it in the other five. See the pity and the pride In the same sea of emotion, Cup my hands and touch the tide, And expect to feel the ocean, It’s just a notion.

     

     

    And the knife has got my number, And the number that you keep, And the knife has called division, And it’s drawn when I’m asleep.

     

     

    Oh it’s twists are cruel and hopeless, Like neglect has worn it thin, And it could rip the sky wide open, And let the rain come tumbling in.
