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.

That’s a great selection, now heaven forbid Mrs TTT gets to hear of it, like on Facebook.
Good to hear your having a few beers, who is buying?
Bmcuw
Your kindness and sincerity has no equal.
You set up a blog for Celtic fans. It entertains and informs thousands. It’s at the forefront, possibly even the driver, of significant events happening around the club. You make one silly typo and everyone gets a dig in.

I see that Peter Lawwel is buying strong, tall, good players. He probably feels it under the skin that Celtic will play against Legia Warsaw in CL play offs. Good signing van Dijk is, but Legia do good signings too :-)
Winnie The Pooh would say : “A day without new signing is like a pot without single drop of honey left inside”.

Within your remit Mr Bryson – chasing up agent fees? First attempt (see footer) contained erroneous email address.

Lets hope he can defend.
Promising reports on this guy from afar.

Great to have you back,but at my pernickety best there is no “a” in independence.
Nor,as was pointed out on here last night,if you count to 99.
There you go,irreverent and irrelevant at the same time. Saved just for you….
Sandy Bryson, expert in epistemology and metaphysics, can’t spell Craig Whyte’s name.
Life’s minor irritations ——-

Hot! —-way down south.
6 “4 is small for a Dutch 12 year old !
There is a laughable story out there, indicating that we may be selling our best player to Southampton for £10M. Of course it won’t be true as why would we sell a player like him when we are trying to assemble a strong team for ourselves?
BMCUWP – There is if you are Scottish. A don’t speak the aul bags Unglish.

Delighted that we have acquired Virgil van Dijk..a highly talented young player
CELTIC FIRST
To be fair,Craig Whyte frequently erred in the spelling of his own name on legal documents.
Sometimes he would get his,erm,DOB wrong too.
WGS
Sorry, I don’t know what they are doing.
Of course Dijk means dike in english – an embankment to control -or in his case a 6’4″ embankment
MWD
As I said,good to have you back,big fella!
Been missed,that’s for sure.
Hope you’ve been saving up some polemics for us all.

Nor Ken oLverman’s…
Maybe he’s got a proof reader for all those registrations he files?
I’m swiftly coming to the conclusion Craig Bryson isn’t the fiendishly clever genius Lord Nimmo-Smith made him out to be. Hmmmm.
Ian McWilliams was 6’5″ tall, died in 2004 aged only 52, after a long struggle with leukaemia.
I think Bobo and Sammi are also 6’5″
According to wiki Fraser Forster is 6 foot 7 inches.

STAN Varga was 6’5″ according to this…

True story – My youngest daughter recently asked me whether when I was young I wanted to be Dutch.
(I’m 6’3″).
Dutch defender and What the Stars has recieved his daily bread from the bored and is truly thankful. Praise be to the bored.
