I know its risky buzz, i just can't see where our goals are going to come from. Midfield offer nothing, we have big strikers where we should be putting the ball in the box. I think the 433 or 4231 is good if your trying to play counter football ehere can fsll back to a 5 midfield to defend but when teams just park the bus have 2 up top and fire balls in, yeah might not have ghis great statistic of possesion buy keast would be entertaining/ heart wrenching however you want to look at it.
I just think at home should be attacking trams constantly not the fluffing about at thr back. Our cbs have more posession than anyone just get it wide, get vall in box and if not a goal might get a cheeky deflection we constantly use ineacho to hold up the ball jus for midfield to catch up thrn pass constantly allowing teams to re set and adjust before we decide to attack or try pass ball in back of net. This whole season is just been fustrating in all fronts.

Maybe it’s worth the risk Johnny.
I wanted a 3-4-2-1 formation but it’s a struggle with the injuries to the right hand side of our team.
We could play Saracchi or KT as a right wing back for 60 mins then 30 mins depending on Johnston’s recovery.
Sinisalo
Arthur, Trusty, Scales
Johnston, Engels, Calmac, KT
Ox, Nygren
Any striker.
If we’re going to try something different then the next 2 games is a good platform to implement it.

I see desmond reared his head tonight to wish him well and say how irreplaceable he is. how so How can this guy who's at retirement age possibly not be replaceable? i'm sure Desmond will have one of his cronies lined up to fill the space, a guy that no doubt toes his party line.

Celtic were the first Scottish club to do a League and Scottish Cup Double in 1907 and then we achieved the Double Double in 1908.
The Scottish Cup was withheld in 1909 after the Celtic and Rangers fans rioted with the Police after the replay never went to Extra Time.
That prevented Celtic the chance of winning a Triple Double.
Celtic were undefeated in 24 Scottish Cup games from 1906 until 1910 due to the amount of replays we played.
It was actually more than the 21 undefeated Scottish Cup games we recently achieved we Celtic Won the Quadruple Treble.

Marco Rose getting touted for Bournemouth job should we not be looking at him.

He’d have been my first choice when Brendan left, would like to think we would have considered him, maybe he sees himself operating in a stronger league than ours.

See the PSG fans god bless them had a banner at Liverpool game asking for Hargreaves to do one, great affiliation with a top club, hope he takes the hint.

If ED007 will permit me A WEE HEADS UP
This summer, as I am a lot stronger health wise, Mrs T and the Ghirls and I planning a week away in Spain, Portugal etc
but I have been seeing the chaos caused by Britain not being an EEC country (Brexit still causing problems)
To try and explain it is hard but British passport holders must register and get their fingerprints and face scanned biometrically when entering a SCHENGEN (EEC country)
Typically every airport has it's own way of doing this so CHAOS and people missing flights 120 over the weekend
Now if you are LUCKY to be IRISH your passport has a "Magic key" allowing you direct entry to EEC countries with none of the hassle above, here is where it gets interesting for MYSELF as Mrs T born and bread in Galway has an Irish passport, the Ghirls because of Mrs T have dual Irish/ British nationality so they too have or can obtain an Irish passport. So that only leaves MUGGINS here 100% Glaswegian and I have the blasted British passport.
Mrs T and Ghirls say they will LEAVE me behind and enjoy the sunshine break Groan
Ach if only a long lost poster would turn up and help me with my passport problems WEE PAT FAE POSSIL.

Mrs t and the girls will need a British passport to enter the UK even if they leave on their Irish passport. This was a change in the law brought in on February this year.
With regards to you, you can use your British passport and I'm guessing the teething problems will have been ironed out by the time you travel. My wife and daughter have just been to Europe and said there were no delays for them, caused by this new system.
On a personal note I won't be travelling to Europe ever again, just like I won't be travelling to America, as I won't be giving them my biometric data. Gives me a great excuse for not going on holiday. 🤣.

You are right aindoh it does not apply to Irish citizens and you can use an Irish passport to enter. You either need a British or Irish passport or A Certificate of Entitlement to the Right of Abode when entering UK.
I only knew about this asy mate was coming over from Australia with his kids and they had to cancel the trip as they would not get the kids British passports in time to travel.

Let's get everyone's thoughts.
1,is this summer's rebuild bigger than anges?
For me 100% bigger.
2.Can we trust Nicholson to lead it.
100% not.
Simple yes or no.
1.Yes
2.No.

15 Apr 2026 11:02:36
1- Yes
2- No.

Nicholson won't be at Celtic.

15 Apr 2026 11:40:19
Worryingly, but definitely Yes and No!

15 Apr 2026 11:40:59
1 yes
2 no but I've heard he could be off along with Hargreaves.

15 Apr 2026 12:40:54
We will have more first team players than Ange had but the squad needs a major overhaul. The problem is the animosity between fans and board will remain while Desmond is there and this sheggite show will keep rumbling on.
It is like the TV show succession, directors and family members get the chop but Logan Roy stays in place and nothing ever changes.

Wee Joe
What if the rumoured appointment of his brat to the board materialises?
0
15 Apr 2026 16:01:45
Yes for 1st No for 2nd Another reason I think we will find it hard to get a good manager to take the job unless he is out of work or in a lesser league. Then that would be a gamble.

@jfp - I have jacked it already, not watched a game in weeks and I won't be anywhere near Celtic park while Desmond's are there.
To answer your question, I would imagine appointing Ross Desmond to the board would be a major own goal and more people would jack it. I personally don't think it will happen but nothing would surprise me with these clowns.

On this date in 1970,
Celtic beat Leeds 2-1 at Hampden in front of a European record of 136,000 fans to reach another Final.
It was only a few days after we lost the SC Final to Aberdeen at Hampden to prevent another Quadruple in the same season.
Leeds only received 4,000 tickets and they actually returned unsold tickets back to Celtic.
Celtic fans went to Central Station waiting for the Leeds fans coming off the trains looking for spare tickets.
A Special mention to Liverpool FC and their Families on the Anniversary of the most tragic day in their entire history.

Buzz I was at that game with my pals and I remember the crush, once you were on the terracing you had nowhere to go, hence the beer cans to pee in lol
I also remember Leeds were going for 4 trophies too but Don Revie prioratised our CL game and played weakened teams in the other competitions in the end Leeds LOST all 4 trophies.

I think the figure was probably a lot more.

One club from Ath. Madrid, Sporting Lisbon or Arsenal are guaranteed to reach the Final this season.
None of those clubs have ever Won the European Cup/ Champions League.

15 Apr 2026 06:55:13
Here is another interesting point. Sporting Lisbon's revenue last season was 148.15 million. Pounds, which is just a fraction above ours. Yet we have Ross Desmond telling fans we don't have a clue and that a club with our financial restraints can't compete in Europe. 🤦
It would appear it is them that don't have a clue and there are things we could be doing to make us more competitive.

Don't fancy any of them to win it though Buzz.
PSG cruised last night, albiet against a poor Liverpool side. They are quick and athletic. They didn't play great in the group games but are playing well when it counts.
I want Munich to win tonight, don't want the other entitled club to win it.
Athletic against Arsenal if they win tonight, tough game, not sure Arsenal have front men to win that game.
On another subject, I see Bodo played their first league game at the weekend. Crazy to think they played in CL in their close season. They got beat 5-0.
Their players must be knackered after a long season.

We need to urgently find a cure to be rid of Desmonditis, as it is crippling and suffocating our club.

Bodo lost 5-0 to last season’s Norwegian Champions Viking.

Buzz, that must be a pretty strong league.
Purs our league to shame.

The only cure for desmonditis is to cut out the tumour. 🤞.

If we win the league,
I don’t expect to meet Viking because I reckon we would both be unseeded in the playoffs.

I read what SB had to say about the club today where he echoed DDs brat about swinging and missing although I don’t think any fan expected a 20 million pound striker.
Is it coincidence that he’s popped up with his comments just before season ticket renewal time and just as he became unemployed.
Is he lined for a role in the new managers back room team?

Dale Carnegie's book, How To Win Friends and Influence People certainly wasn't in his bookshelf. Heard a rumour that Nicholson's away in the summer and that would leave a vacancy for the brat.

15 Apr 2026 06:21:58
I read browns comments, where has any Celtic fan suggested we go buy a £20 million pound striker Where exactly does he get that from? What i do think Celtic fans are entitled to is clarity from the hierarchy on were exactly they see the club heading, what they feal the club can realistically achieve. because if were to listen to desmond junior, Celtic are capable of doing nothing other than being domestically successful, we've absolutely no ambition in a European sense. but going back to browns comments, what Celtic fans are entitled to expect is better recruitment both in terms of money spent and loan signings.
the money we've absolutely wasted on the likes of Balikwisha for example and there's plenty others is scandalous, add to that the abysmal loan signings ( aurojo and sarrachi) aside, that also has been nothing short of scandalous. so for brown or any other to have a go at fans who dare question the leadership of this board they want to go give their heads a wobble.

15 Apr 2026 07:00:45
If we can't afford to swing and miss them could Ross Desmond please tell us how they swung and missed when they appointed Wilfred Nancy and again in our failed recruitment?
