The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Celtic wouldn't go automatically into the Premier League. They would have to play in the lower Leagues which isn't going to happen

No but DD continually tries to agitate this...
It will happen sometime that Celtic will move to a different and bigger league. Whether it's a euro league or via lower English tiers... remains to be seen. But it will happen. Money always finds a way

[rodney trotter]

The European Super league would be more realistic. Think it was Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Holland,  Scotland as
the countries for a possible League.

The big 5 Leagues were talking about having another elite league.

Yes, you'd expect they'd have to make their way up through the Leagues. Question is which League would they be allowed start in? Would they be allowed to start in the (fifth tier) National League? Could be even lower? All the other clubs have to go the long route to get to the top, the same would be expected of Celtic. Not as simple as it sounds?

Some signing for the Gers.

Rodgers may put the foot down with the Celtic Board now. They were outclassed last week. Defoe, albeit 36 years old will be lethal in the SPL!

Defoe is on nearly 100k a week at Bournemouth, even if they pay half his wages that's out of their price range, clearly no lessons learned in govan, also smells like moreles must be going

I'd say SG is pushing hard now after the last Old Firm result.  He'll be bending the ear of the board looking for reinforcements like this and S Davis also going back.  Adding experience and goalacoring for the final drive.

I hope Lawell is watching on.  He'll need to splash the cash now and crush this mini rebellion or he'll never live it down.

Would Joe Harte be willing togo to Celtic as he seems frozen out?  What wages would he be on anyway...even a loan deal for 18 months?

Gordon isn't great but eff right off with Hart!
Great forward planning by Rangers, a 36 and a 33 year old! What happens if they don't win the league? When is the last time a player came to Scotland from England and scored a shed load? There are numerous examples of players failing in Scotland and being relatively successful elsewhere. FFS Darryl Murphy is still cutting about the Championship.

[illdecide]

I know what you're saying but they will be an addition to them Sevco cheating c**nts. They are going for broke to stop Celtic at all costs and TBH if Celtic don't make 3 quality signings then I'll be fearing the worst.
Yes, they're going to take the gamble to spend money they don't have but it's stop Celtic at all costs. If Celtic retain their title then they're on the slippery slope of going bust again but from what I'm reading they smell blood and they're going for it. If it comes down to the last old firm (hate saying that) game at the cesspit will we be confident of getting a result after what happened last week.

If this doesn't perk everyone up at CP then they deserve all what's coming to them, they've four full weeks to go get their men and crush these bastids once for all. Don't forget if this title goes to the wire we can't and won't get a fair crack at the closing games from the refs, they will help Sevco break our run of titles...remember John Beaton who done game last week used to be a season ticket holder at Ibrox (he wasn't the reason we lost either btw) but he had three opportunities to send off that Moreles and didn't do it and the sfa found nothing wrong either...unbelievable, if a Celtic player had done that he'd have been jailed ffs

Are you saying you wouldn't take Defoe on loan now for the Celts?

He'd be excellent - still pacy enough, a proven goalscoer and experienced.

100% correct. All they have to do is win league once and cheerio to 10-in-a-row!

Defoe wouldn't be excellent but it would depend on the alternatives for Celtic. However, if seen it before where we've signed a player at this stage of their career and it hasn't worked. Anyway, Defoe has hardly played for two years.

Exactly - Ian Wright came to Celtic around Defoe's age and didn't score a pile in Scotland and as you say there are more examples. Davis going back would be like Aiden McGeady going back around that age. how would that have worked out?

[paddyjohn]

Rangers beat Celtic in 2016 and bought Barton & Kranjcar. How'd that work out for them? They are banking on short term gain and possibly winning a league title which won't happen.

Keep the faith. In Brendan we trust.

[JimStynes]

Is anyone else secretly worried that Rangers will actually win the league!
