Earlier posts on this site this morning implied that G Taylor had decided to sign for us and this was greeted with 'Great news' comments.
I do not see any confirmation of this anywhere?
30 Mar 2025 22:29:31
Anyone convinced that Kyogo will end up playing for the Bhoys once again?
I thought if things didn't work out for him he'd try his luck in the USA and get sunshine and a good financial deal.
1.) 31 Mar 2025 12:49:59
Unlike Jota who left on a high, I think Kyogo was on a steady decline compared to the standards he set in his first 2 seasons. Now we have Maeda playing out of his skin with Idah as back-up and I don't see any way back unless our squad changes drastically in the summer and even then it would probably be a non-starter.
{Ed007's Note - Kyogo's behaviour & attitude since he told Rodgers he wanted to leave has left a sour taste in the manager's mouth, there is no way he would take him back.
Why would anyone want to bring back a player that couldn't wait to get out & forced a move away at a crucial point in the season, a player that was declining in quality, a player who was carrying an injury that he refused to get operated on?
And I couldn't bear to go back to hearing all the "Best since Henrik" garbage!}
2.) 31 Mar 2025 15:11:11
Talking about Larson mate who would you say has been the best since he left. Mb Griff if the boy screwd the nut not sure to b honest.
{Ed007's Note - From the first few games watching Kyogo I said he was never an out & out striker and I always said he wasn't good enough to be Celtic's "main man" up front. Kyogo hasn't got that natural poacher's instinct which the amount of sitters he missed highlighted so for that I'd have Gary Hooper, Scott McDonald, Dembele and Edouard over him any day but I think for 2/3 season Leigh Griffiths - a player I never wanted us to sign - was in front of them all as an all round striker. LG could score from anywhere in & around the box, headers, free-kicks the lot, it's just a pity how things turned out at Celtic for him.
Just imagine how many goals someone like Hooper or LG in his prime would have scored under Ange's system and Rodgers' when it's clicking.}
3.) 31 Mar 2025 15:44:29
No chance imo. It was the right player and the right club at the exact right time when Ange came in. Rodgers will have something new in mind moving forward.
4.) 31 Mar 2025 23:11:04
No chance do I want him back, If a player is that desperate to leave then let him stew.
Also I mentioned in another post that in his time here he was only the top scorer at the club in 1 season which isn't good enough if you are the main striker.
5.) 01 Apr 2025 17:41:00
So hopefully everyone is stopping creaming their pants over the greatest fraud of all GG who couldn't wait to get out and join a backwater league at the "peak of his powers".
6.) 02 Apr 2025 16:05:34
Not for me. He wanted to leave and give himself a chance to force his way into Japan's world cup squad apparently. That's since failed miserably so he won't be welcomed back with open arms. He's the wrong side of 30 too. There are better options out there that will benefit the club in the long term.
7.) 03 Apr 2025 12:55:14
I wouldn’t want Kyogo back for a few reasons, first of all, his on field standards have dropped and we need better as our ist choice striker. Maeda is playing better as a striker than Kyogo has played this season or last . But many think we need Maeda on the wing for his incredible work rate . .
I can’t believe Board and manager were happy with the timing of his leaving us, mid season whilst still in Champions League .
To me, the most important aspect, is that we already have bought back 2 players after we sold them . I think that is rather unusual in the game I would hate us to do this more often as it’s a reputation that we don’t want to have . It would be bad if clubs stopped buying from us because they thought that they would lose money because players we sold kept talking about returning to us at a very great financial lost to club that bought him from us originally.
8.) 03 Apr 2025 21:29:50
Kyogo is by some distance the best forward since Henrik, it's unfortunate we have a manager who doesn't, I mean didn't know how to set the team up to get the best out of him, the stench of double standards in this stream is overwhelming, Rodgers left in much worse circumstances than Kyogo, talking about sour tastes in mouths, how many mouths did Rodgers fill with bile when he left, but now it's a big love in for him, that's how politics works, they know the masses, us, have short memories.
9.) 03 Apr 2025 22:40:02
It was the board and the manager, that facilitated his leaving, they, I mean Rodgers looked at getting 10 million for him, as a way of balancing the books, after wasting 9 million on Idah.
10.) 03 Apr 2025 23:08:20
His contract wasn't up, why did the board let him leave?, why did the manager sanction it?, because he is not Rodgers type of player, he is a free spirit, he does not want to follow systems, he wants to play the match as the match develops, he is a natural, that is what is wrong with Scottish football, young players are not being allowed to play the way want, the way they feel, they are being over coached, and not being allowed to develop their natural abilities,
11.) 05 Apr 2025 01:26:25
I can’t believe what I am reading about the free spirit who left us in mid -season and still very much involved in Champions League .
It’s agreed by most people that when a player pushes hard to leave, wise managers and board usually agree to let him go, as they don’t want an unhappy player interfering with the firs team squad harmony and and togetherness
BR wouldn’t be as highly regarded as he is in UK football, if he had relied on our ist team’s tactics to be based solely on getting best possible service to a striker and not using the best skills of our other attacking players to create and score freely . Kyogo never played as a young player under BR and he given the freedom to play all over the pitch . The seasons that he scored heavily under Ange, ” his free spirit “ wings were severely cut as he played on the shoulder of the last defender . BR tried to improve his skill and participation in match by having him on the last defender’s shoulder, as well as coming short for ball and releasing another attacker who when he played ball in Kyogo would be in his key position.

Celtic should add another Treble to their trophy haul this season.
1.) 10 Feb 2025 12:21:42
This will be our 8th consecutive season in front of supporters, that Celtic have won at least 2 domestic trophies from the 3 available.
2.) 10 Feb 2025 15:17:13
Never take a treble for granted, our recent record in cup competitions is incredible, just look at that lot or Liverpool this weekend to see how easy it is to get knocked out a cup. If we win a treble, even from this position, it’s an amazing achievement.
3.) 10 Feb 2025 15:47:44
Lot of football to be played still.
01 Feb 2025 20:32:11
Our efforts to bring in a new striker are intriguing - who is it going to be?
Any decent leads?
1.) 01 Feb 2025 20:56:06
Mr NOBODY.
2.) 01 Feb 2025 21:45:59
I've been thinking in my head for a few weeks now 'I bet he goes for Iheanacho, I bet he goes for Iheanacho'. I've just seen a link to Iheanacho. We could go for Iheanacho.
3.) 02 Feb 2025 07:47:18
I still believe we will bring someone in at striker and LB but it might be 2 loans, possibly with options to buy in both.
4.) 02 Feb 2025 08:01:03
We either need a new striker to replace kyogo or move maeda to striker and get another winger.
However, I don't want us to overpay for one because of desperation and would prefer a loan if that was the case. Preferably with an option to buy.
5.) 02 Feb 2025 13:19:07
Shankland has started scoring again, just saying!
I see a Fletcher / Flood scenario playing out.
Hopefully after the game tonight we will hear of a few deals.
27 Dec 2024 13:06:46
Apart from KT, does anyone think they know for sure who we are looking at / considering in the forthcoming window?
1.) 27 Dec 2024 14:05:28
Are we really looking at KT or is this just lazy journalism?
2.) 27 Dec 2024 15:35:53
I don't know, the reasoning is, he is 27 in his prime, big talent with huge experience, loves Celtic, knows Celtic inside out, will not cost us a fee and this fact will offset his personal terms. Loads of pros but who knows?
{Ed007's Note - In his prime ??
3.) 27 Dec 2024 17:13:12
Ed, Kenny Dalglish went to Liverpool aged 26 1/ 2 yrs, in his prime.
{Ed007's Note - KT's prime was between 3-5 years ago, KT turns 28 in the summer, he's in the later stages of his career and will probably be retired or thinking about it in 3/4 years time because of the injury problems that have ravaged his body for years.
The only reason any Celtic fan wants KT to return is because he is KT and played for us before, he is nowhere near the level of player he was even when he left us, this is a rumour/signing driven solely by sentimentality - or birthday caird pish to put it another way.
If this was any other player at KT's age and with his injury record the support would be questioning the manager, the scouting department, Tisdale, Nicholson and even probably Peter Lawwell would get dragged into it.
It goes against the entire ethos of the Club & player trading model we use and it goes against the type of player Rodgers has said he wants.}
4.) 27 Dec 2024 19:24:56
The only way signing KT is a pay as you play. But can't see that being a goer. We can get better, hungrier and younger.
5.) 27 Dec 2024 23:12:10
Comparing Dalglish to tierney ?? surely your at the wind up.
6.) 28 Dec 2024 01:19:35
Fact is that Tierney without the injuries wouldn't even be in our stratosphere, ccv best defender we’ve got has been plagued by injuries but when fit he’s best by far we’ve got. Way i look at tierney signing is we manage his game time and if all goes well got a LB and CB who is genuinely world class when fit and loves the club and future captain when mcgregor decides to go or hang up his boots. Anyone moaning about wages etc who cares leave that rubbish to the board he’d run through a brick wall for us that's good enough for me. If taylor doesn't want to be back up or wants away can see this happening tbh.
7.) 28 Dec 2024 10:59:14
Get your point mate and take on board your comments about keeping him fit he would do ok for us but in my opinion he’s never been world class, in fact a would say he wasn’t good in Europe for us even in the pub league he got found out and was targeted often by opposition. Diehard are the McGregors n Forrest’s not Tierney, let’s move on am sure some of our posters have other suggestions.
8.) 28 Dec 2024 11:40:55
He splits opinion but in his prime he's as good a lb as I've seen and I've seen a good few, if and it's a big if he can stay fit and give us 25 games a season then for me it's a no brainer, agree with Ed unfortunately can see Jim retire early but dearly hope am wrong. regards leaving the club he's not alone they all leave so we can't beat him for that.
9.) 29 Dec 2024 17:32:14
Whatever the story is with KT, we potentially have a problem at LB come June.
GT could well be out of contract and leave, Valle will likely be back in Spain, and, to my knowledge, I'm not aware of any youngsters at CP who can step up?
I'm sure this is top of BR's list and as always, I'll watch with interest.
☘️ ? ☘️.
10.) 29 Dec 2024 17:35:03
Agree with you Mally ?
One think I would add, GT played the best football of his career under AP and that was nowhere near the player that KT is.
☘️ ? ☘️.
11.) 02 Jan 2025 00:25:08
If we signed K T it would be a year down the line before we know he could stay fit and give us 25 games a season . Of course KT is a far better lb than G T but having said that, if we were satisfied with KT playing 25 games per season any other lb would be better than him in approximately 35 games.

Delighted for James, bit disappointed in our lack lustre efforts to win the game. Presentation day, 60,000 fans giving their support, go out and show our cutting edge.
You get an injury just as easy when going through the paces.
And, you show the boss you are on form for the Cup Final.
1.) 17 May 2025 18:45:03
We have won the league slowing up. Why can you not appreciate what we have achieved this year. Winning league with 17 points to spare deserves to be appreciated. A double already in the Trophy room and a big game next week to gave us our 4th treble in 7 years . Records upon records.
16 May 2025 14:45:05
Warning our fans, 'Don't gather in large groups', looking to arrest and besmirch us.
Put spotlight on fans rather than team success. Easy pickings rather than reroute the despicable OO bigots.
1.) 16 May 2025 16:51:05
They will be looking for any excuse to try and ban or criminalise us.
It's the pain GCC are feeling for the 4th year in a row.
They should have a ten year plan because that is where we are heading. HH.
15 May 2025 23:26:52
A number of posters have felt that Nawrocki should feature more. I wonder why he is so far down the pecking order? He must be disappointed in his limited game opportunities - should he leave or stay for more of the same next season?
1.) 16 May 2025 11:33:30
He is not better than CCV in my opinion and that is the spot he is competing for.
2.) 16 May 2025 12:21:21
I strongly suspect he won’t want to stay for more of the same next season . That doesn’t. Mean that he is certain to leave, as he could have already received assurances that he will be played more often next season and BR could give him an accurate picture of how much play time he is likely to get .
Another factor in him staying could be that either club or himself may not be happy with how much the offer to buy from another club would be, and player himself may not be happy with the wages etc offered to him. By new club.
11 May 2025 10:30:53
Well played Bhoys, energy and entertainment in abundance. Great practice for the cup final.
1.) 11 May 2025 12:29:06
Thought some of the football was fantastic considering the title is in the bag and it's been a long hard season. However, the energy and desire of the team to put on the style augurs well for the cup final.
2.) 11 May 2025 13:51:12
Celtic will only need to keep our discipline in the Cup Final to win another Treble.
Aberdeen will be hoping for something similar to the Semi Final to happen to give them a chance, when Hearts received an early Red Card.
The gulf between both teams is massive and I’ll be beating Celtic -2 goals in the final.
3.) 11 May 2025 18:19:30
Was actually quite surprised at the starting lineup with BR saying be few changes, c on 1 of our sites Leeds interested in Maede god a hope not he be a massive loss.
4.) 12 May 2025 19:25:47
So far this season and indeed recent seasons our discipline has been fantastic. In fact in both European and Domestic marches, this season and last from the top of my head, I can only remember our players getting red cards after very questionable decisions.
I think Manager and players deserve great credit for their excellent discipline and behaviour on pitch.
5.) 13 May 2025 17:14:54
Buzz bomb, I am confident that Celtic will keep their discipline in the Scottish Cup Final v Aberdeen. However I would have less confidence that the referee and VAR Officials will be able to overcome their temptation to dismiss a Celtic player unfairly or award a soft penalty against Celtic.
26 Apr 2025 18:27:42
Thanks team, no flat ending at Tannadice, fine passing and finishing in the manner of true champions.
I hope Jota recovers quickly because I dreamt recently that he ran amok in the Cup Final - hope I have not jinxed him!
1.) 26 Apr 2025 21:11:20
No way Jota will be fit, definitely out for the end of this season.

Play it before kick-off, play it at half time and play it at game end. Wee Tina was, after all, an all inclusive entertainer.

Keevins is an embarrassing tame Tim, a 'Soup Taker', and a dreadfully poor journalist.
01 May 2025 02:45:44
I love the fact that our club has the stance 'There is no more Old Firm' just another Derby club.
This really makes their blood boil as illustrated by the likes of Bitter Boyd and others of that ilk.
22 Apr 2025 17:03:51
We never heard a dickie bird's tweet about Old Coal and their monotonous stream of EBT signings, whilst we were all wondering where the Cash Cow was. That is one reason why I want Celtic to continue to smash every record and crush every team. Never ease up Bhoys and sky's the limit.
19 Apr 2025 15:58:05
Also, a good soaking to counteract that icy cold east wind which will make the playing surface very fast and fiery.
