Well, it looks like Idah is the target. I'm always optimistic that Celtic have done their homework correctly and we will have a fan's favourite. However, I also respect Chris Sutton as a man in the know and a good judge of players. Chris is underwhelmed by the news.

I'd tend to agree, given big Sutton played that role and Norwich was his first club, he'll know more than most.
I just hope that when called upon, this lad does the business, whether goes scored or created.

Thank God for Jamsie because that was torture.

I don’t know why Kyogo is getting again from fans. He is a striker and like all strikers they need service so there is not a lot he can do without it. Our midfield created nothing today.
{Ed007's Note - So what about the sitters he misses when he does get the ball- like he has since he came in to Celtic - whose fault are those?
We're playing a LW as our main striker, since he came in he's missed more clear cut chances than he has scored, he doesn't have that striker's instinct that a Henrik, Sutton, Hartson or even a Hooper, Leigh Griffiths or JVOH had.
A good striker will create their own chances when their team mates aren't helping, create space for their team mates in and around the box etc, Kyogo adds nothing to the team except the odd goal, he's had a 54% shot accuracy this season, one of the lowest in the squad.
People are looking for excuses for Kyogo, it's Rodgers system, it's the wingers and midfields fault blah blah blah, there's no excuse for the levels of performance from Kyogo this season.
Idah has scored 7 goals in 11 games, Kyogo has 13 in 41 games, so who's giving Idah the service that Kyogo isn't getting?
I've said this stuff since Kyogo came in, he was and is never good enough to be Celtic's main striker and we will not progress as a team if he continues to be our main striker. It gives me the fear the thought of going into next years CL with CalMac at CDM and Kyogo as our main striker.}

Said before that with what we have at this moment in time, I’d consider playing without wingers ( Jamie, s contribution acknowledged ) for the last few games. We wouldn’t miss them as they never give us width or get to the line. That would beef up the midfield, protect the defence and we could play with two up front. Couldn’t be worse than what we’re watching just now.

Like everyone else I'm delighted to be in yet another Hampden final. (My first was 1961 when we lost to Dunfermline in a replay. We were all over the Fifers in both games. )
My point is our poor wing play. Forrest did more in 5 mins than the other wingers did in 90 mins. We must get better wide men.
15 Apr 2024 17:21:23
So it's Advantage Celtic but not yet near Match Point. After this weekend cup tie we need full throttle application and concentration. No slip ups, no glimmer of hope to Sevco. Game at a time, maximum effort, 3 points every time til we cross that line. Then we can look forward to summer and all the transfer rumours.
14 Apr 2024 18:42:34
We need the skill and determination of the hugely experienced James Forrest for the final run in. He can make them and he can score them.
Play James - he's been rested long enough and is raring to go.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 19:33:37
Best he can hope for is off the bench and some cameo if we secure league early doors. Conversely I think he is better as Yang.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 20:43:51
Totally agree, he’s at the twilight of his career, it’s now or never.
3.) 15 Apr 2024 15:02:56
He was on the pitch and you knew he was there. Yang only gets noticed as he messes up. Forrest contributes.

Media reporting that Mikey is doing really well with W Brom.
I would be delighted if he went on to be a star for us. He has shown us what he is capable of but alas too infrequently.
I hope this loan spell is the kick start he needs for a successful Celtic career.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 00:03:34
I personally always rated Mikey, certainly not a favorite among this app, Scales is getting similar comments too.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 00:47:38
Mikey has found his level. Let him go and enjoy the rest of his career at a club with less pressure. Scales deserves credit for stepping up but he needs replaced in the summer. Not even half the player Starfelt was unfortunately.
3.) 13 Apr 2024 13:33:04
Scales is twice the player Starfelt was . Because he is here, the player who comes and improves with our coaching and and leaves. all too soon to follow his dream, football, and or romantically is no benefit to us., I love players like Lustig who arrived as an ordinary run of the mill right back, stayed over 7;yrs and became a hero in many supporters eyes.

I'm sure that does happen aindoh. Can you imagine Pele, Maradona, Jinky, Best, Ronaldinho etc etc in a Youth Academy? Their talents would have been stifled. Mediocre players can be coached to improvement. Real naturals are special and they embrace and light up the game with their skills.
13 Apr 2024 17:29:18
Regards our wingers Chinks, I agree, not in the same class as Jota or Jamsie at his best. We surely cannot go into European competition with these guys. They will not cut it at basic European level never mind the big guns. We need to spend this summer. We all love great wing play but for that to happen we need great wingers.
11 Apr 2024 17:30:42
Drb - both are decent prospects, but would they help us progress in Europe? I suspect that we will be the whipping Bhoys again when our next European campaign starts. We require significantly better quality in most areas of the park. I fear it will be the 'same old, same old' unless we really splash out on some real talent. Buy some players that Brendan does not have to coach. Dare I say 'Oven Ready'?
21 Mar 2024 13:27:11
DerryTim - Not sure about lesser Celts going on to do well, but I am sure that every successful Celtic team has had one or more very good attacking mids with a high goal return.
These guys are worth their weight in gold when strikers misfire and the AMs rescue the points. I feel it is essential to have such players in the squad.
03 Mar 2024 18:19:47
Hung by our own Petard Johnbhoy. Poor poor stuff.
We need much more talent on the field. We will never get a decent run in Europe with this level of player. We must really up the anti or remain an obscure team with a famous jersey basking in the glory of a Lisbon victory in another century. Results like today are always on the cards with the current squad.
