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.

    If ANY clown wants to leave us for Southampton then good luck to Them. In ten years if someone asks them, did you play for a big club? They can look back and say aye. Money talks.

    I hope you realise that Christianity is the real target. I’m waiting for a nod from the olde FFM before I start responding to a link that BMCUWP gave me about a Canadian Minister saying ET is real.

     

     

    I’m a very patient person (lol, jeers,derision, Aye Right), I will admit, I am very different from everyone else, God will be EXTREMELY happy aboot that.

    Ahh, what a great tonic last night was. A mid out of season visit to paradise to see four legendary hoops give us their magical memoirs of the run up to winning the European Cup and a smattering of funny stories courtesy of the toe rag Bertie Auld.

     

     

    It was great to meet Mighty Tim for the first time and good on him for buying a very expensive shirt. Now yon, nutty cyclist, the big dude mouldy that looks like a movie star. That was another pleasure and I hope he gets his 1888th mile under his belt soon.

     

     

    If he cycles the 105 miles from Glasgow to where I live I’ll donate £105 pounds to his fantastic cause. That is a promise. Cmon big fella, its 20 miles less that we estimated.

     

     

    Mouldy, stick some good quality square sausage in yer nap sack, I’ll provide the sauce & rolls .

     

     

    Young ACGR was mesmerised by the Lions last night and that was without any bevy. His fascination for all things Celtic is truly complete and he now fully understands the massive beating heart of Celtic Football Club and why we love our club.

     

     

    Its up to him now to take this love forward to the next generation of ACGRs, my work it done.

     

     

    He seems keen enough:-)

    Celtic will do a Barcelona but we have to exhibit patience.

     

     

    If we Bank 20 million, I’d rather have most of it spent on grass roots rather than paying mercenaries in the hope they have a Real feeling for Celtic.

    The team coming through in 5 years time will easily eclipse the Best MU team IMO.

    Mouldy, actually make it £210. I assume you’ll be cycling back?

  12. TSD,

     

     

    You are obviously a Cooper acolyte, do you still maintain he is an enemy of humanity? i.e a secretive piece of sh**e

     

     

    In his broadcasts he said he was a De Molay member, I’m not sure if you heard his early 90s broadcasts or his late 90s/early 2000s.

     

     

    William was so paranoid about everything. He ultimately had a very good reason to be so.

     

    He exposes all the ESTABLISHMENT ‘conspiracy’ stooges still to this day from his grave. Russell Brand is the Latest, Ickes new pal… the 7 Rays philosophy/theosophy.

    P.S. in my post at 00.52 I should also have mentioned Archie McPherson, he’s a gentleman and a man who enthusiastically puts across his love of Celtic and our Lisbon success in an extremely genuine and Celtic like way. He never tired of getting his picture taken with us supporters last night.

     

     

    Respect to the big chap.

    Hail Hail my Man. Looking forward to having a few games of Snooker before going to Celtic Park next season with the Sons. I know you are a competitor and that means yer wee laddie is as well. Genetics, let’s not talk about Epigenetics though as the evolutionists are check mated there.

  15. andycol is yet another Neil Lennon on

    Kayal33 posted a report of Vics proposed transfer to Southampton which included the following sentence. “Beerschot are understood to be due a percentage of any fee accrued by Celtic as part of a sell-on clause written into his contract.”

     

     

    The MSM seem to be unable to carry out even basic research. Beerschot were dissolved and lost their professional licence.

  16. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    St Stivs, that was a magical moment at CP. How to shut up 7000 huns in short order, and that was before we even began to pump them on the park.

     

     

    When they left that day they knew the jig was up and we knew they were dead.

  17. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Petec, nobody’s got to me buddy, I’m just perceptive about the people I acquaint with:-)

     

     

    I thought you’d like the toon, I do.

     

     

    I’ve not played snooker for ages but I’d like a game or six with beer accompaniments before a trip to CP in the coming season. I’ll rely on you to provide the venue.

    If Russell Brand is the ‘accepted’ voice of the opposition, we really are in serious trouble.

     

     

    Dumbed down to such an extent it is frightening or just Brutally apathetic.

     

     

    The Social Engineering is clever, you have to admit, it is very clever.

     

     

    When people argue about the ISM’s and don’t realise that the controllers are just manipulating people with every societal tool at their limited disposal, then there is no doubt they know what they are doing.

     

     

    It is like enslaving people for most of their life, they are not willing to grasp freedom if it is offered. They would rather have the Devil they know. The Security rather than the Freedom. Remind you of anything current?

     

     

    The greatest trick was……

  19. Hearing rumours that CIA and GCHQ have all shut down their servers tonight due to widespread public protest and howlings flooding their servers.

     

     

    Now’s the time to be honest and stop kidding on you’re a right wing loonie :))

     

     

    It’s all going mental out there. Even Hugh Keevins has admitted on twitter that he’s a tit, and Archie MacPherson is confessing that the darkest secret he has hid from the Scottish public all his life is that he is bald.
