The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

We can't be complaining too much these days with Celtic's spending and ambition. Jota signed up now too

Jota has formalised a five-year switch to Celtic after spending last season on loan from Benfica.

An undisclosed fee had been agreed when the winger initially moved to Glasgow.

The Portuguese scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists in 40 appearances as Ange Postecoglou's side won the Scottish Premiership and League Cup.

"With the season that we had with all the winning and all the trophies, I think it was very good for everyone," said the 23-year-old.

"It was a great experience. I already knew, more or less, how big Celtic was but I think people only realise once you are inside the club and inside the structure.

"I got to know the club in another perspective, and I just fell in love. So I think it's a good time to be here and I just want to develop."

Jota had been loaned to Real Valladolid for the 2020-21 season and has been capped up to under-21 level by his country.

"It's a tremendous step in my career," he added on Celtic TV.

"I'm really happy to have joined Celtic and I just want to give some joy to the fans, to our team and conquer as many things as we can."

On Thursday, Celtic announced the signing of Argentine full-back Alexandro Bernabei, while the Scottish champions have also arranged a permanent deal for central defender Cameron Carter-Vickers and signed goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

All well and good but Celtic had all these, bar the left-back and the sub keeper, last year.  Same squad basically, plus a few lads have left and a few of the younger lads have gone on loan.

Do they need more players in?

Well they had them on loan but they weren't Celtic players and if they didn't cough up the money they were going back to their clubs. Celtic have splashed out not too far of £20m which by our standards is pretty good with no assets going out the door to fund them

Are they any better than what they've got already?

Mooy - is he not similiar to Mc Carthy and he's either injured or on the bench?

I think they need a bit more quality. Hopefully these two lads surprise us all.

Well we'll certainly give them a chance...
I was over at Norwich game at the weekend and they looked slick at times with good movement and first time quick football. The position we look the most rusty in is Centre Forward but we'll get there. I was reading over the weekend people were already slagging Mooy for his first 15-20 mins on the pitch...WTF. Some people are just ridiculous and too quick with their fingers on the keyboard nearly wanting the guy to make a mistake so they can type utter tripe.

Ive always said, had twitter been around after Henrik's debut he would have been slaughtered. People are far too quick to judge

I think Celtic still need a gritty midfielder.

Would anyone know when the SPL will confirm the October fixture times for TV etc? Heading over to Glasgow for a weekend and would love to get a game in.

I'd say if you check their fixture list, it ahould give details.

Although they're in Champions Lge this year, so they may have games on a Sunday for tv reasons.

Unless they are playing CL on a Tuesday

So far so good this season and there are good reasons to be positive that Celtic have a squad to hold their own in the CL group stages.
Apart from the style of the football and the technical proficiency in all positions, what stands out for me is the togetherness and 'brotherhood' of the team. Ange is not a cliche of a first season  manager anymore, riding along a wave of good vibrations from the fans, he has filled the manager's shoes, now it's the serious business of competing and  winning every game.
Sept 3rd v Rangers at Celtic Pk.

Bad afternoon for the other side. 2 reds and a last gasp goal!

[JimStynes]

Massive game for Celtic tomorrow now! A win against them in a couple weeks could give a nice wee cushion for this early in the year. Still a bit worried by the quality in the squad. I can't really think of good players Celtic have brought in? What's big Julien at currently, why's he looking out? Seems to have put the feet up and stink the place out!
