The Celtic Thread

I know yeah, I was expecting to lose him to an EPL team but not the Saudis.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na.
I'm a sailor man from Glasgow to

If he went to England probably only get £12-15m max. Suits us financially for him to move to Saudi.

I always thought we would have a big re-build this year due to performances of our players over the past two years, they were likely to be eyed up for big money moves.

One of Rodgers downfalls in his first stint was recruitment. Hopefully lessons have been learned since then.

Home game v Rangers set for Sat 30 Dec at 12.30pm. What is the likelyhood that this will be moved to the Sunday for Sky does anyone know? I know it's hard to tell but do they often move that to a Sunday?

Gaz, with kick off time stated Id say thats it confirmed. Couldnt see them putting it on NYE anyway.

Jota gone and Mooy retires Cry

Jota is a huge loss.

They’re both big losses tbf; Mooy was great after the World Cup.

Celtic need to get the finger out now and make some proper signings.

Glen Driscoll was at the first day of the return to training today for the team

Japanese guys get an extra week off as they had later intl games than the rest of them

gutted to see Jota go but you cant turn down £30m when you think the huns transfer calculator had £40m for fatty and the goth and they left for nothing

rumour is 2 in by friday 1 very significant

no approach yet to united for McTominay either

Very good chance Celtic will pull out of their match in South Korea in a few weeks

Roma & Wolves have just pulled out after falling out with the same organisers from the same tour

The Japan tour looks unaffected however

Celtic Park Statement read: "It is with deep regret that Celtic Football Club has been forced to withdraw from our match in South Korea.

"The Hoops were originally due to play English Premier League side, Wolves, later this month, but numerous financial and logistical operations were not met by the tour promoter, and after weeks of delays, the Club has taken the difficult decision to terminate the contract and pull out of the tour.
"The Club and the players were excited about visiting South Korea and giving our fans the opportunity to see the team, but unfortunately, due to factors entirely outwith our control, we have been left with no other option than to withdraw from the match."

Brendan Rodgers’ side will head to Japan for two matches against Yokohama F. Marinos (July 19) and Gamba Osaka (July 22) before returning to Lennoxtown to continue their pre-season preparations."
