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 going. You 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.

Drambowiecelt, awe naw,s lyrics were not from jim kerr, they were from the fantastically talented Roddy Frame, Aztec Camera, Knife.Wonderful wonderful song from an extremely under rated musician.

Great night at CP tonight. Bertie should get an agent, a natural comic!
…..and I’ll bet you didn’t know that in Ancient Greece the word ‘idiot’ meant anyone who wasn’t a politician.

Naw seriously……
Also…. The longest hangover in medical literature lasted 4 weeks.
It belonged to a 37 year old man from Glasgow.

Joe Ledley is a fabulous player and has improved year on year since he joined us. And he “gets” Celtic. So stop talkin’ pash.

Could the fact that Joke Irvine slagged off Captain Blood be the reason why Media House no longer act for Sevco?
Fred C. Dobbs
I think he is going to be a top class player for Celtic. He is as cool as they come on that ole ball. FFS a lot of players take a year to settle into a new way of life, even the amazing Broonie struggled early on and he was just along the M8. Ole Efe came from a Halfdodofhash, it is a different culture over there ye know. :))
We have a cracker in Efe, IMO of course. ;)
Jeez have I come at a bad night? cqn is usually hoachin with tunes

I was at Eff’s debut, he was assured, confident, composed and precise.
Champagne to sh… since then :-)
I would give him another year though as I think he has potential.

Yer a fountain of knowledge. Keep em coming!!!
@Neu 12.06 YOU WINDIN ME UP??

It shows them up for what they are – John Greig is no doubt one of the old Rankers legends – hated him with a passion but he was a commited player ( although when I was younger I couldnt work out why the hell he got to play for Scotland and Celtic players didn’t – I now know why!) he also gave me a pathological hatred of stupid beards!
I cannot stand semi intelligent so called businessmen taking the piss – they are shameful.
I’ve had the misfortune to meet a few of the players in this pantomime and trust me they are without shame and despite the apparent trappings of wealth – they are not rich or blessed.
They have no faith – fact!
Hail! Hail!

The smallest known dinosaur was about 4 inches tall and weighed less than a chihuahua.

There was once a football team called Rangers who played in the Ibrox area of Glasgow. They died in 2012.

HT,
Aidan loved it, Me, well I got lost, or they got lost. It was just too busy to find them again. The Roses were awesome, I tried to meet up with Gordybhoy but it was impossible, I was hoping to say hello to a few of the CQNers like yerself and Minx but it just wasn’t to be.
A lot of huddles were happening when The Roses were on, I started a couple with total strangers. :D
Anyway we need more of your Gnosis (spits on Masonic brotherhoods). :P

T’was a great night. We stayed quite near the back which was probably a bad idea as it meant folk had more room to build up momentum before banging into you :-)
Glad you both enjoyed it.

That would be the only winning donkey I’ve been on this week. Were you really a lifeguard at Ayr? My son was a relief diving coach there.

Music of the people
Hamiltontim,
I was looking for the wee chap near the back to the right of the stage where the path was. It turns out he was right down the front with his Mum, she did say everyone was bouncing off everyone there and she held him close. Two real rebels and looking at them you would never think it.
Merry
@Hamilton way to feck a good party
