Delighted for Wales last night but what’s happened to Jason Denayer? Since ending his loan period at Celtic a year ago he’s made 15 starts for Galatasaray. He was hooked on four of those occasions, which is a high percentage substituted for a defender. Gala won their first four league games with Jason in the team but won only once in his final 10 appearances. The point was made to me last night that he looked overweight.
In his 12 months at Celtic he polished his rough edges and established himself as a top performer in the most effective defence we’ve had in years. Manchester City were not prepared to let him return to Celtic as the reckoned he simply wasn’t being stretched.
He signed a new contract at Man City before heading for Turkey, but their new management team are unlikely to promote him to their first team squad. He’s unlikely to have impressed anyone at the Euros and Galatasaray won’t be as keen as Celtic were to have him back.
Is it possible we’re the only ones who know what he’s capable of? I’d have him back tomorrow.

Second pre season game, no bad so far.
When fitness and sharpness improve, plus one or two additions, could be good.
Really looking forward to the start of the season.
Can someone please post the dates for our CL Pre Qualies?
I was on the Celtic site yesterday but the dates of fixtures/potential fixtures were not shown.

Yes agree some great openings and with a bit of composure we could have 3 going in at HT
Very positive feeling about how well we are moving the ball around and options available for a pass

It’s a no fuss link, so great for me.
Some of them want you to download/log in blah blah.
No keen on that, so your link is easiest for me, thanks again.

Thanks!
I’ll be in Crete for 3rd round home and away, so should be able to find a bar to show game!
Cheers!
Rocket Man on the tannoy????

An added bonus is that Brendan is eating a good look at the entire pool. He will already be impressed with Christie and Allan and will have noted deficiencies in the play of Johansen and Bitton. They’ll either get a kick up the backside ora transfer. He’ll know everything about his pool by their return to Scotland.

Email sent , cheers

Yes a good plan and like this 2nd half line up
Yeah I read he was happy with Bitton and Jo but neither look happy to me or seem to be trying any harder than they did for Ronnie. New pastures i think for both.
KLV
Few management teams that consist of head coach/manager, ass coach/manager and coach all who had their careers cut short through injury.
Another first for us me thinks :-)
Eating = getting
How drab is the commentary on Celtic TV?
Is this the high pressing game they all talk about? Only two games in and you can see the difference already.
Magic!
KLV
Ralston digging in well in the right
George on Celtictv was really enthusing about him from the off
Good shot just tipped round the post for Celtic corner
Who’s our number 12?
Strum have those Arthur Black style ‘castle pockets’ on their kit
70’strendyCSC
Any idea who the number 12 is ? That was Stefan Scepovic number…
Ralston decent cross ball into Griff- good vision
We played some very good stuff in the first haf, we seem to have upped it a tad this haf :-)
Broony coming on.
KLV
Broony on for Bitton
Paddy goes by his man on the outside out on the right.
Broony on for Biton
Brown on for Bitton
Old Suedehead is back
Broonie on for Bitton. Last 30 mins.
Exiled Tim, When you see some of the younger lads it makes you wonder if they are worth a place over some of the senior players. Playing very well as a unit today considering little game time together.
KLV
So, Erik the Viking keeps the capitanos armband then
Nice chip to LG, shot saved. Not offside
Broony looking sharp left foot pass to Griff called offside – close!
TET
Yeah that is significant methinks
