The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

From the Bunker · December 15, 2024, 08:42:03 PM

Came across this graphic - Celtics are analysed in 2024, while everyone else is 2023. Why?

Kenny Dalglish wearing the colours of Celtic, Rangers and Partick. You'd wonder how the city of Glasgow took to the team?
The players who were selected for the Glasgow FA XI which took on a English Football League XI at Hampden in 1977 in an encounter that was arranged as part of her Silver Jubilee celebrations.

The Queen is alleged to have said to Kenny Dalglish after winning the Double with Celtic. 'You are doing very well, keep it up!'"

When The Queen united the Old Firm - and urged King Kenny to maintain Celtic's dominance of Scottish football

Glasgow would have taken to it better than now, the world has never been so divided #thewww

Hard watching today, Kyogo has just butchered the only genuine chance Celtic have had all day. 10 left

TBF getting a clean sheet with that defence wasn't the worst result but I hate giving them any hope whatsoever.

A point's a point. Tricky coditions away from home so I'd take it.

2 home games in a row up next.

Plenty of games left.

Pretty poor today, could have played for another 3 hours and prob still wouldn't have scored. Celtic need 2 wingers and a LB in the sales and ship out Yang and Palma, them two are not good enough unfortunately.
Still unbeaten and as a few have stated that wind and away from home it's not the worst result in the world, BR will be keeping his squad fresh for Jan 2nd (well I hope he is).

There we go, 4 points from 2 games since the cup final and 3 for them. Mind the gap.

General consensus that the return of Kieran Tierney is welcomed and sooner the better? A considerable upgrade

SaffronSports · December 26, 2024, 11:38:27 PM

Depends how much they're paying him. I probably wouldn't bother as he's never fit these days.

Would he be Cup tied in Europe?

I think Uefa scrapped that rule.

Injury issues would be the big worry about Tierney I'd say. If he stayed injury free, he'd be No. 1 left back.

I don't think he was too injury prone when he was Celtic a few years ago but can't remember. He'd be an upgrade on Taylor.

Rumours of Jota coming back. He's currently in France on loan I think but not getting much game time. He'd be a good option too.

That's be a good Jan. window if they got them 2 in the door.

I see Rogers met D. Desmond in Dublin a few weeks ago. Hopefully talked about money etc. in the Jan. window.

1 cup in the bag already, 12 pts clear in league, 13 really if you count goal difference plus a good position in CL league. Need to drive it home now in Jan with a few more bodies in the panel for competition. At the same time, offload a few of the panel members and cut the wage bill.

More quality and less quantity.

Big objective now is to push on in CL and get qualification for knock out round. Could get a good draw and end up in last 16. Either way, getting European money in is crucial to keep moving forward.

At times like this I think back on Fergus Mc Cann and his timely input.

There needs to be a Fergus McCann statue at Celtic Park

Also many thanks to RBS for calling in the £7m owed at that time to try and put the club out of business, if only they knew that long term they made Celtic and buried Rangers, just ultra delicious irony

Tierney would be a great signing and if he still has fitness issues then he can be managed like CCV, play him in big games and rest him for the crap. It all makes sense now why Greg Taylor has not signed a new contract and is free to speak to other clubs next week, he probably knows KT is coming and he will get limited playing time. What does he expect, he's no Paulo Maldini like.
I heard the Jota rumours too but I've also heard if he goes back to play in UK then he'll have to pay millions in tax from his Saudi move (not sure about that TBH). They'd be two cracker signings all the same and would really send us up another level
