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.

The 1st time I ever saw Giovanni Dos Santos he was getting on a bus at Toronto Pearson International Airport with his fellow Mexican Under 21 team mates including Carlos Vella.
He was definitely the star attraction to the Mexican fans who greeted the team
I kept an eye on both Dos Santos and Vella’s careers and must admit to being disappointed in both of them, which is why I wouldn’t be too upset should we not sign him.
Fraser Forster is 6` 7″ and might wear the hoops under his `keeper`s jersey.

Most of the hard core malcontents like to constantly bitch about what a rotten cabal of evil sell outs we have running the club.
Its nice to see the board getting some credit for how well they run the club.
DBBIA – are you discounting Forster on account that, being a 6’7″ apprx goalkeeper, technically, he doesn’t wear the Hoops?
Who has been our smallest player ?

Unreserved apologizes to anyone offended.
Which player has had the most blue eyes ?

Cryptic-way too cryptic for me.
What are you trying to say?
I think you have been over in Germany too long,and have turned into an enigma.
I’ll send some American sailors over to sort you out,oooo-er….
Benvenuto Virgilio!

I’ve heard you trying to speak English,and trust me,yer no’ bilingual….
Met big VVD yesterday, seemed genuinely excited about becoming a Bhoy, so was his agent right enough.

Our club is far from being well run. We get diddled at every turn and I mean every turn. Only those in denial or with learning difficulties or with a money maling Old Firm restoration agenda will not say so in public.

I have high hopes for Virgil.
The next Ruud Krol.
Miss Tally thinks he is very handsome.
Will the next player we sign also be 6′ 4″?
Keep them coming!
HH!!
BMCUWP,
What on the home of Celtic News not last journalism ?
Not really that cryptic.
Which player lives his mum the most ?

Is Sammi 6’3 big Fraser 6’7 I would have thought he was the biggest player we have had.

The zombies are furious,all because Celtic are bringing out a new home kit.
How is it possible that a seemingly trivial,matter such as this make them so angry?
They are foaming at the mouth,like rabid dogs.

Nonsense
The club is run very well
Only hard core malcontents who bitch and gripe and blame Dermot Desmond on everythng from world hunger to global warming cant see it.
It gives me a chuckle to think of how our beloved Lions would have viewed our 2 new signings had thet been opponents back in the day……

Sandy Bryson doing all he can to prevent escalation? Alarm bells should have been ringing instead. http://www.scribd.com/doc/149187288/Sandy-Bryson-Intervenes …
Brilliant news that we have him signed up. Good to see us being so organised. Off to the Lions evening shortly, really looking forward to it. HH

They are gone, kaput and all that remains is the remaining diehards who are even more bitter than they were before, an inevitable blowback, unfortunately. They have noone to blame but themselves.
They are not really the introspective type after all. :P

Life is good for a Celtic supporter these days.
No unnecessary distractions from the bigot dome allows us, in the natural order of things, to be Scotland’s premier club.
To the players who will be leaving thank you for your efforts, goals and successes you have delivered to us.
To the players arriving welcome to arguably the greatest football club on the planet. Your time as a Celtic player will be amazing and live with you all of your days.
Long after you have forgotten the other teams in your career you will remember the trophies, the Champions League nights and the fame from your time here at Celtic.
Celtic FC……..more than a football club and larger than any individual.
Since 1888 and still counting………….
Looks like Neil is replicating MON’s original team.
Just seen the Big Chap being interviewed. He looks a very confident big Laddie.
Are we going to go for the 3 at the back next season all the way?
