I know we’ll probably sign someone in the next few days
It’s almost impossible to countenance the idea that we won’t
But what slightly frightens me is…
…that’s also exactly what I thought in August

🇩🇪 Stuttgart looks a difficult tie. Would have far rather played Ferencvaros
But, great city for away support
European progress seems so unlikely to me that it’s hard to garner any real excitement about it, but stranger things have happened
We wouldn’t be the first pish team to reach latter stages

Am I right in thinking we can add a maximum of three new signings to the Europa squad?
So Araujo, Čvančara, and one other…

Pleased to be through though!
Well done Bhoys ☘️

For better or worse, most transfers now don’t come as a surprise
We have X accounts, journos, sports bloggers/influencers, all leaking for weeks before anything is ever actually signed
If Celtic, on 29th January, are still without any meaningful links…
…it’s probably because there aren’t any

Norwich’s annual income (post-PL parachute payments) equates to around half of Celtic’s
About 59% in 23/24, down to 27% in 24/25
Are we seriously being out-bid by a team sitting four points off the Championship relegation zone, with less than half the resources that we have?
Why are we like this?

Shin Yamada: safe to say, a pretty shocking signing all round
Barely played, and on the rare occasions that he did, he proved why
Four managerial regimes have now passed on him. Sixth choice striker at the club
Roughly £3m squandered
Don’t tell me we can’t afford high wages for free transfers

As ever, vast majority of coverage missing the point with Trusty’s red
It’s not about whether is was or wasn’t a red
(Personally, I don’t think it was, but plenty others do)
The anger is at VAR intervention. The on-field call was fully informed and legitimate
VAR had no reason to become involved

Martin O’Neil’s bench in the last game of his first tenure. 2005 Cup Final vs Dundee Utd
1. D Marshall
2. J Valgaeren
3. P Lambert
4. A McGeady
5. C Beattie
No one can tell me MON hasn’t been shocked by the fall in standards
(And, incidentally: four Glaswegians on that bench)

By the way, not a red for me
Looked as if there was at least one, possibly two men likely to get back
I know the “last man” rule has changed, but still didn’t look stone-wall
Also: what exactly did the ref see in the replay they he didn’t see on-field?
Made his decision. Why is VAR interfering?

Pub league game
Dreadful quality. Hardly a pass competed between both sides
Take the point
We need additions badly. Only used three subs, two of which enforced by injury and red card
Not enough quality in this team
Maintain Hearts are a pretty dire outfit too. Too bald men fighting over a comb

Massive game tomorrow
Big for us, but absolutely enormous for them
They won’t have had a more important fixture in forty years
Spoken to a few Hearts boys this week, and they all align in their outlook: very pessimistic post-Shankland and Devlin injuries
Not sure why, but they feel tide turning

This is the opportunity for Andy Robertson to join Celtic
It requires desire on a) his part and b) the board’s part
I’d love to see it, but I’ve never really been able to picture it. Still have a gut feeling he’ll never wear the hoops
And board probably don’t really want another high-wage earner

Hearts game: biggest domestic fixture since the Ange game under the lights?
Can’t think of one within recent memory that’s carried as much importance
Win, and I think we’re right back in it - potentially even favourites again
Lose, and I just can’t see a way back in to it

Thought Trusty and Tierney were excellent
Great to see Schmeichel recover some form too
Need more from Hatate. Nowhere near good enough for a senior player, and probably cost us an impressive win
That said, gutsy performance from the team
Squad has a lack of quality, but plenty of heart
