Forget the usual cheerleaders and the online giggles.

The new Ibrox appointment brings a very different challenge to the table for Brendan Rodgers. And it’s actually quite exciting.

My thoughts on what Celtic can expect.

Glasgow Derby Squad Update
• Jota out for 9 months
• Daizen Maeda & Kuhn should be OK for Sunday
• Alistair Johnston ruled out – being managed for cup final
• Yang returns to the squad

Jota will be ruled out for up to nine months with the injury he picked up at Tannadice.

A massive blow for the player personally and the club. He was still working his way back to full match fitness and sharpness.

Will play a part in the second half of next season. ❌

New Column ‼️

After seeing the eye-watering price of the new Celtic/Adidas gear, the idealist in me wanted to rant about where football has gone and why fans are being taken for a ride.

Bhoys were outstanding tonight. Engels and Maeda in particular but we played brilliant football, great goals and we pressed and harassed until the full time whistle.

Thirteen points clear 🔥

Rodgers confirms KT has signed a pre-contract agreement.

"Ideally it would (happen in January) but he’s still at this moment an Arsenal player.

"I think everyone is agreed that will definitely take place in the summer. If we can do it beforehand, then great."

Alex Valle heading to Como on loan for the rest of the season. Celtic agreed to the loan deal being terminated early to make this move happen.

He leaves with a League Cup medal and maybe a league title medal in the post. 🥇

Not bad for 19 appearances.

Brendan Rodgers Confirms Kyogo asked to leave 💬

Kyogo has arrived in France ahead of move to Rennes👇
January 23, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Kyogo about to board a flight to Rennes earlier this afternoon.

Celtic found a way. Simple as that.

Massive props to Adam Idah who didn’t score the goal but he did the work. Kasper coming up big too. No less than Celtic deserved.

And when we all get our breath back, we’re having a party in the champions league.

Good night.
January 22, 2025 at 10:34 PM
A massive night for Celtic ahead. It’s been well over a decade since Celtic have reached the knockout round of the Champions League.

The atmosphere is building, you can feel the electricity in the air.

RE: Alex Valle 🇪🇸

Celtic hold the cards in his Como move—Barça can’t recall him, and it’s up to the Hoops to end his deal early. A potential KT signing wouldn’t fix the lack of left-back cover for the final two CL games.

Dundee were unlucky not to take all three points. Celtic dug deep for a draw, but there’s a sense the team knows how far ahead they are in the league—and it’s dulling their edge. Fans feeling relaxed is fine, but the players can’t. Rodgers must restore that killer instinct.
January 14, 2025 at 10:02 PM
I never thought I’d see the day when a Celtic team went 18 points clear at the top of the table and Rangers football club put out a statement backing their manager.

We live in special times.

Three years ago today, Covid protocols had me chatting post-match with Ange as Celtic manager—outside. He was always generous and fair with fan media.

Now he’s back in town, this time as Spurs boss, taking on Rangers. Wishing the big man all the best tonight. 🍀

Celtic very wasteful in the first half.

We can win this game, but we can also make a rip roaring arse of it the longer we go without scoring.
December 10, 2024 at 6:45 PM
Manager of the month for November. 🥇🍀
December 6, 2024 at 12:47 PM
Celtic are bringing on Lubo Moravcik for the second half
November 30, 2024 at 3:53 PM
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there has never been a player quite like Daizen Maeda at Celtic, and I doubt we’ll ever see anyone like him again.
November 28, 2024 at 2:10 PM
Find someone who loves you as much as Kyogo loves scoring against Hearts.

Celtic winger James Forrest has signed a new contract extension until the summer of 2026. ‼️📝

His contract was up at the end of this season.
