Celtic FC Rumours

17 Dec 2025 15:59:44
PL stepping down!

17 Dec 2025 16:16:34
Good dream but I wish that was true.

17 Dec 2025 16:17:30
Hopefully just the first domino to fall!

17 Dec 2025 16:20:12
It's true sorry for doubting you pal.

17 Dec 2025 17:43:18
Goodby Peter, see u next Tuesday.

17 Dec 2025 18:24:48
Do you not mean c u n Tuesday lol.

17 Dec 2025 19:06:56
Nicholson take note. Massive transfer window coming up and he's never had a decent one to date. His job depends on it although he should have been the first to walk.

17 Dec 2025 19:30:03
Hopefully the others will follow him out the door. HH.

16 Dec 2025 15:19:36
Being reported that Daizen is now content to stay until summer, perhaps beyond, if true is he happy with new tactics? Interesting.

16 Dec 2025 15:35:40
I haven't read that 4 leaf clover but it's an interesting turn around for a player who seemed unhappy not so long ago? ?

☘️ ? ☘️.

16 Dec 2025 18:03:27
He doesn't want to take the chance Kyogo took last January when he couldn't get a start for his new club.
Not with the World Cup only 6 months away.
Maeda will definitely be looking for a move again in the summer and I don't blame him.

16 Dec 2025 18:50:53
Would anyone want Meada to stay though.

16 Dec 2025 19:57:36
Who wouldn't want Meada to stay, he's probably one of our best.

{Ed007's Note - And that's a damning indictment! In all his time here Maeda had a 6 month purple patch in the second half of last season, the correct & prime time to sell him was in the summer. Kuhn outshone him in the first half of last season and have you noticed the shouts about him playing as a striker have died a death - it was bad enough watching Kyogo missing sitters week in and week out.
Take away Maeda's pace and drive/energy and what do you have - a very average actual footballer.}

16 Dec 2025 20:27:26
He should have went in the summer but January will do.

{Ed007's Note - I said the other week him leaving in January would be a big gamble for him with a World Cup coming up.}

16 Dec 2025 20:34:49
Watch what you say about Kyogo ED! Best since……

Not even going to say it ???.

{Ed007's Note - ??

16 Dec 2025 21:25:02
Not sure how long he has left of his contract, but having a good world cup would boost his value, where the board spend it would be another thing, but given they have given permission to the football doctor (paul tisdale) to be the man, gives me the fear.

17 Dec 2025 06:37:28
Maeda can play as a striker, he should always have been utalised as someone who "can" play there, he's as nullified as kyogo if our system doesn't play to his strengths, we've been so disastrous on either wing he should be wide left and no where else, if anything if we got at least one side going consistently and causing issues and building form maybe we could have seen better results, new system is even more worrying for maeda for me as he isn't decent back to goal imo, strange strange times.

17 Dec 2025 06:50:06
Leeds you said probably
Seems like you can't convince yourself
He's been our worst player this season.

17 Dec 2025 19:03:22
Ed - you serious, take away the pace, the drive and energy from messi or Ronaldo you have paddy McCourt a very average player.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah because Messi and Ronaldo weren't born with unbelievable footballing ability, but maybe if Maeda had been pumped full of HGH he would be able to kick the ball 3 yards into the goal more regularly, Paddy McCourt was a far better footballer than Maeda.}

17 Dec 2025 19:11:19
Biggest underperformer from last season. Worst player is subjective as he has plenty of competition for that accolade. Sell him, he's offered nothing all season. It's funny now he wants to stay when nobody wants him. Delusions of grandeur if he thinks he can cut it in a better league the way he's been playing.

16 Dec 2025 15:11:12
Rodgers and Kennedy away to Saudi.

16 Dec 2025 16:44:11
Loadsa money! No worries about winter fuel bills for these guys.

16 Dec 2025 18:01:41
Im begging for rodgers to drop desmond in it with a statement or interview but its been that long something went on behind the scenes to ban him from talking it seems.

16 Dec 2025 20:36:32
Maybe everything Desmond said about Rodgers was true and that's why BR hasn't responded.

17 Dec 2025 11:17:51
Even if it is true, which i have no doubt, its still within Rodgers right to defend himself and drop some names in it himself.

17 Dec 2025 17:32:07
If you resign from a job you are not restricted by any NDA. HH.

16 Dec 2025 09:57:37
Rumour the board have asked nancy to change his tactics or go as a say just a Rumour I got sent ??.

16 Dec 2025 10:18:43
If true; many managers would not welcome such an ultimatum and he may have been offered an easy 'out' regaining a scrap of pride.

16 Dec 2025 18:02:38
His pitch to the Board at interview would have centred around his vision and tactics. They surely must have been sold on his ambitions for the future and his intended direction for the Club. Hence they should have had a real insight to his ideas for the way ahead?

16 Dec 2025 19:39:10
I heard about the situation regarding Callum Mc Gregor, the manager had a talk with Mc Cowan, Yang and Tournetki, the manager wants to play them as defenders, Mc Cowan spoke up and said that he played midfield, and that he could be looking for a transfer in January, the manager also spoke to Stevie Woods, and he was told by the manager that he did not like the work that he was doing, and Stevie Woods said he would resign, Callum Mc Gregor heard what was going on and he went to Nicholson, and he told him to get it feckin sorted out with what was happening, the atmosphere at Celtic Park is not good between manager and players.

Better.

14 Dec 2025 14:21:12
I'm happy with that lineup which looks like a 4-3-3.
Our bench also has plenty of attacking options, with Forrest another plus being available again.

14 Dec 2025 14:36:47
I honestly didn't think he would change back to a back 4 as quick unless KT is playing Wingback.

14 Dec 2025 14:17:22
Better.

14 Dec 2025 14:44:24
Rather yang than tounekti.

14 Dec 2025 14:48:46
He said on the radio its a 343.

12 Dec 2025 20:02:02
Has anyone heard anything about a training ground bust up during the week with calmac and the manager? . Apparently it happened lastnight again when the manager was supposed to be speaking in French to engles? . I know its hearsay but I have heard a few saying the same things .

{Ed007's Note - There's a few rumours going around all week but to be fair they always surface at clubs when things are going awry.}

13 Dec 2025 22:55:59
I hope he said to Engels "Tu ne prends aucune pénalité, espèce de crétin"!

14 Dec 2025 13:57:09
But engels is belgian? Does that mean gies back oor 11 million.

{Ed007's Note - Did your school do A-level Belgian? ?

14 Dec 2025 14:03:41
Flemish lol ?.

14 Dec 2025 16:16:23
Didn't think you'd jump in for that one ed?.

{Ed007's Note - ??

12 Dec 2025 07:52:00
More bad news I heard stevie woods one of the best in the game is leaving after 20 years, apparently the manager wanted to put him on probation till June and stevie said feck aff ?.

12 Dec 2025 09:14:24
I hope bot Mally, can see this guy doing more damage than good at this current moment. My question last night to a mate was lose on Sunday what happens? The team look short of everything at the minute considering where we were just over a week ago.

I usually like to give folk a chance to prove themselves but this guy at pressers you can tell he just doesn't get it! HH.

12 Dec 2025 09:48:04
Is this true, this is getting worse what next he want want rid of hoopy.

12 Dec 2025 12:18:11
Heard from a good source.

12 Dec 2025 12:34:36
Mally it just seems a bit mental, i can see him losing the dressing room very quickly, like MON said these bhoys are serial winners same with back room staff and this absolute nobody of a coach/ manager comes in and rips up the script.

Like i said previously i like to give folk a chance, but his presser last night made me realise he's not Celtic manager material. HH.

12 Dec 2025 13:08:30
How, in any stretch of the imagination, would you think about putting a club employee who's already got 20 years service, on probation?

If true, I hope Woods takes legal advice.

☘️ ☘️ ☘️.

12 Dec 2025 15:46:56
Would that even be a manager's decision? Just asking as it seems irregular. Could just be my ignorance so apologies in advance.

12 Dec 2025 16:24:04
Not to bothered about SW getting moved on but hopefully he gets a good severance pay for 20yrs work.

12 Dec 2025 17:55:20
Update on hoopy btw Nancy is in two minds whether to loan him out or play him at right centre back on sun he's impressed by his performance, I didn't laugh I'd cry all nite about this lol.

12 Dec 2025 18:51:02
Most on here wanted the whole set up torn up, board gone, etc, etc, etc. I remember myself and others saying be careful what you wish for, well there you go.

{Ed007's Note -

14 Dec 2025 02:35:53
Funny how all these reliable sources are coming out of the woodwork as soon as the new manager walks in.
It's almost as if certain reliable sources are just hoping he falls.

11 Dec 2025 19:24:18
I fail to see how this lines up but it seems he is one of these managers that has his formation and sticks with it regardless of what players he has. I really have no clue how that works.

11 Dec 2025 20:46:43
This looks like a training session for Roma.

11 Dec 2025 21:04:43
We need to make changes take tounetki off and bring Kenny or Kelechi on and move maeda to yhe left and tell the players to stop playing themselves into trouble and maybe even make a completed pass.

11 Dec 2025 21:29:15
Surely if inheacho coming on using Daizen left was the option, Bernardo for me needs game time.

11 Dec 2025 22:31:51
3-2-2-2-1

Back 3 Trusty, Scales and Tierney
2 Def mids - Engels and McGregor
2 free role wingers - Tounetki and Yang
2 Playmakers Nygren and Hatate
1 Superspeedy pressing striker.

11 Dec 2025 10:57:28
Forrest back training and enneacho could feature at some point.

11 Dec 2025 12:42:19
Kelechi is crap, i really hope he proves me wrong but I don't think he will.

11 Dec 2025 14:32:10
Unfortunately he's better than we have at the moment.

11 Dec 2025 17:48:34
I like young Kennys movement at least he tries, kelechi never seems to do anything. He seems like he scared to make runs. Into the box.

John "Dixie" Deans has sadly passed away aged 79 years old.

Dixie was a big St. Mirren fan growing up.
He had discipline issues when he played for Motherwell by getting Sent Off several times but it didn't stop Big Jock from signing him.

Dixie missed the only penalty in the shootout against Inter Milan in the European Cup Semi Final at Celtic Park but he showed incredible character to score a Hat Trick in the Scottish Cup Final only a few weeks later against Hibs.

Dixie loved a goal against Hibs.
He also scored a Hat Trick in the League Cup Final against Hibs.
The previous week he scored another Hat Trick against Hibs in a league game at Celtic Park.
Dixie also scored at Easter Road when Celtic clinched 8 in a row against Hibs.

RIP.
