The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Minder]

There's a huge difference between not caring about the national side and not caring about the league. Scottish Rangers fans wouldn't be as indifferent to the national side, although there's still a fair few of them who don't give a toss about Scotland.
The bragging rights has generally been enough, plus I think most realise the upheaval required of possibly going through the lower divisions etc. Celtic wouldn't survive without Rangers and vice versa, IMO.

I completely disagree with that.
Celtic propsered when first getting into CL.

Did they?
How many times have they made it out of the Group stages in the Champions League?

Once, with the much derided WGS..........

You'd hardly say they prospered in the CL so would you?

No just that they made it out of the group stages once under Wee Gordon.

Actually, in two consecutive years--2006/7 and 2007/8.

Both under WGS?

Sure Strachan would have been manager still afer 2008.

Need to get back on track tomorrow with a win at St Mirren who have built a decent squad this year. As long as Lenny keeps Samaras away from the starting team, I have every confidence we will take 3 points. Hopefully McCourt gets a starting place but I wont count on it.

Mulgrew and Izzaguire signing contract extensions which is welcome news. Just need a left back in to cover for Izzy. A loan until January would be enough I think

you are clueles.

So you are saying that if they hadnt gotten into the CL that time under MON, they would still have managed to get the acclaim , reputation, prestige, money and get to UEFA final.
that is what I would term 'prospered'.

how have your team 'prospered' from last years wonderful appointment?just who are they playing in the CL this season?
After spending milllions if not zillions - what group are they in?

Why would you get into this discussion if you didn't know fairly accessible facts? Celtic's wikipedia article or the Kerrydale Street Celtic Wiki are useful resources.

They wouldn't even win the Championship with their current squad.

Good win today and Hooper getting a couple will be a good boost for him. For SPL standards it was a very good game. Was really impressed with St Mirren who played lovely football throughout. I was a big fan of Majstorovic last season. I thought he made the defence solid but he was woeful again today. Absolute bombscare.

[Muzz]

Anyone heard of this boyo we signed today? Mohamed Bangura

Comes recommended by Henrik.  If hes half the player Henrik was should be a good capture.

[SambaSaffron]

Just watched the obligatory youtube video, obviously he seems good from that(zurawski looked amazing). Would have liked Diawara as well, apparantly it may still happen in Jan.
Hopefully gettin rid of Maloney and Samaras, but I'm probably just being hopeful and both will fall through.

Apparantly huns turned down £6.5m for Jelavic from Leicester. Which makes a mockery of whoever said on here a few pages back Murphy was as good as him, since we had to gift Murphy to Ipswich.

[Muzz]

Fee agreed for Maloney!

[tyroneStatto]

Fee agreed for Maloney!

samaras next please!

[Club Rossa]

Was watching the Crusaders game on Sky the other night,Samaras could do a job for them

[Muzz]

Quote of the day!

Despite being made aware of availability, Sunderland, Blackburn and Stoke have all knocked back the chance to sign Celtic striker Georgios Samaras
