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.

Seems like the only way for a Scottish club to get a piece on @SkySportsNews is to go bust
The two most common words in Sevconia are ‘dignity’ and obsessed’ #FACT

Best name Ive heard for our new signing was
Tic Van Dijk
Possibly from bada bing
Welcome to Celtic, Mr van Dijk.
The best club in Scotland indeed, not just the most successful.
Well run club? Definitions in that game are crucial, as are expectations.
My criteria are being met.

I see the ole sell on fee normally associated with multi million pound transfers wasn’t an issue, after all.

Don’t know of this has been posted but please read and anyone who sent a complaint to ASA then complain again and appeal.
ASA Adjudication, appeal. I have just spoken to the ASA and after explaining my case, they suggested I (cont) http://t.co/EoSobnfh3M
As we all know, if Hearts are liquidated their history is gone.
Will that mean John Wilson didn’t attack Neil Lennon?

Big V Welcome to Celtic young man. Go make yourself a Hoops Legend son.
Celtic have signed another new player?
Oh no. :(
One zombie lets his feelings be known when he hears the news:

Off topic:
Looking for a pre-Demolition/Refurbishment, Asbestos Survey. Anyone had one done (other than Sevco) – or work in that field?
Cheers – H!H!
Winning and making a profit while consolidating the position of the SFA and the Old Firm fails to impress me.
We sound like huns under Murrays tenure on here

Really glad for you and your Bhoy. It would be nice to say hello tonight, not sure though if you know any CQN’rs I know. If you know CRC i will get him to point you out, I will also have a CQN badge on.

My god do we only quote DD when it makes us feel good ?
The disciples of Dermot better be careful. He will push you into the river with that talk.

Must be nice to have a moan about all things Celtic from foreign lands. Maybe they could approach the local embassy and complain.
Meanwhile in the real world…
Well done Celtic on acquiring another great talent.

Yes it is.
Sonny worry youll soon be Anke to participate in your bigot fest and malign those from outwith your wee spectre ..sorry tiny
HH
Clink\o/ 14.55. Sorry mate we already had the pronunciation debate yesterday. ij in Dutch sounds like the ay in day. So his name sounds like Dayke and not Dick. So the rhyme will have to be something like wake or sake. Hopefully its not Oh for F****s sake, where was Van Dayke.

Did somone think his name was Dick van Dick ?!!!
:)))
Isn’t it great to have a team of giants instead of watching WGS’s midgets?
Anybody watching the Lions Australia 2moro ?
The new lad is wearing No 5 with just Virgil on the back and yes he has a couple of tatoos. Good looking kid I reckon he will be a big hit with the Timmettes.

When I filled in theit survey concerning my feelings re how they dealt with my complaint,I gave them top marks for virtually everything then, in the box provided, told them why whoever arrived at the ” not guilty” verdict was wrong.
I am hoping that that tactic might result in them looking at the case again.
It could, of course, have been a Hun sympathiser who influenced the verdict so another look at the case might pay dividends.
It`s fun trying anyway.

The bould bhoys not sure about the Dick Van Dick but a lot thought his second name rhymed with Tick apparently it doesn’t it rhymes with Take instead.
Catching up a bit today.
Hearing Victor is off to Southampton for £10m. Doesn’t say if he’ll be taking Jack with him…..
Saw big Pierre post Celtic in a Feyenoord v Scum game at Ibunx with a couple of Dutch friends… Celtic mad btw since 1970 and even more so after Henke and Wim — Amazed me how Big Harry knew the words( and got it !!) to all the lullabies and battlecries.
What a buzz being among that lot tho….Its strange feeling like a shortarse at 6ft. ‘:)
