Celtic FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

Any update on Matt Ryan coming in ?

Murray & Montgomery would've been on the B list of players which is players under 21 that have been at the club for 3 or 5 year(can't remember which)

Good to see we have Starfelt wrapped up immediately after Ajer moves, should've been done earlier to allow him to play in this round but still faster than we're used to

Ange seemed to give some insight into the frustrations he has with the board after the game saying that he has put forward the case for strengthening the squad to the board but maybe they haven't heard or understood how important that it. Looking at the team that started last night its hard to pick more than 2 or 3 players I think are up to the required standards to be regular starters for the coming season.

In the transfer window last Jan we sold our 2 right backs and still 7 months later we don't have a replacement for either, not surprising when we have no recruitment department!

The whole back 5 last night are nowhere near good enough to be regular starters this season. All of the talk from McKay about putting in place a proper structure looks to be PR bu!!**** to get the season ticket money in with no substance. We have replaced Lennon with Ange but everything else is the same or worse.

I'm expecting a very tough season ahead for us and we'll be fighting Hibs and Aberdeen rather than challenging for the title IMO

What do folk think of Joe Hart as a potential signing? Personally, I think he would be a big step up from current incumbents. He is a young man, particularly as far as a GK is concerned, has plenty of ability and clearly a few points to prove?

Fcuk it. Bring Hart in, he’s better than what we have albeit possibly still not good enough but those tw@ts in the boardroom need to get moving with their transfer dealings pronto and start supporting Ange and give the man a fighting chance.

Get Edouard and Christie to fcuk and the buy Ange the players he wants and who would like to play for us.

Can’t wait for the 8pm kick off. The atmosphere up there is always nice and hostile when we visit. Bring it on.

’Mon the fcuking Celtic!!!

Team in for tonight's game, Starfelt & Bitton back in which is probably a little harsh in Welsh. Interesting to see Kyogo on the bench

Ralston must've borrowed someone's boots for the 2nd half! What a goal

You can only watch this shite and question the ownership of the club there is no way they are driving the club forward on the field.

they’ve allowed rangers rebuild themselves and surpass them, shame on them shame on them

I thought Celtic were unlucky, they should have gone 2-1 up, but linesman got the call wrong in my view. But still, very poor defending at the end. You can’t legislate for that. It’s going to take some time for Ange to get his philosophies across, I must say he comes across really well in interviews. Doesn’t take any nonsense from the interviewer. As others have noted, Gordon was the difference at the end.

Joe Hart joining on a 3 year deal, obviously hasn't played a lot of football recently but was an excellent keeper and taking a big pay cut to join so hopefully it'll work out.

It was an incredibly tight call Eire, it was not an easy decision to make in any way shape or form. I wouldn’t blame the linesman over it. I can absolutely understand how a linesman could call that offside, given the players arm being so far ahead. But it was the wrong call at a crucial time of the game. This is where VAR comes into its own, despite the criticisms of it. There were some meaty challenges, no doubt, it was a proper game.

Team for this afternoon, Hart, Ralston, Bitton, Starfelt, Taylor, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull, Abada, Furuhashi, Forrest 

Subs: Barkas, Bain, Ajeti, Christie, Rogic, Edouard, Urhoghide, Robertson, Murray, Montgomery, Welsh.

Hart starting and Edouard dropped. Happy to see that.

2 quick goals. Furuhashi with a cracker. Playing great stuff
