Kieran Tierney Rated at Only £10m... By Who?

Another day, another transfer rumour regarding one of our players hits the headlines and I for one am absolutely sick to the back teeth of it! According to several newspapers including the Daily Record, Kieran Tierney is a £10m transfer target for Manchester United and the Red Devils have been tracking the young fullback for sometime. Quite how they are managing to do this when KT has been injured for months is anyone's guess but the real issue here lies not with the chase but with the price itself. How can these journalists write such nonsense with a straight face. If Luke Shaw is worth £30m then what makes them believe that KT would be sold for a fraction of that amount? In fact who has decided on this figure?

Transfer Talk Reveals Premier League Delusion On A Grand Scale

What a laugh it has been over the past few days on social media. As soon as the Moussa Dembele story broke you could practically guarantee the usual suspects would be out in force and polishing the giant financial turd that is the English Premier League. For those not in the know, MD was the alleged subject of a 20m bid from West Ham, a strange one considering his true value which is at least double that if we are going by past deals down South. Despite some (alleged) Celtic fans urging the club to take the money and run, it became very clear that Peter Lawell and the rest of the Celtic board have no intention to sell... at least for now. So that was the story dead in the water and we will undoubtedly not see MD moving in this transfer window or possibly the next. What did give myself a laugh was the reaction to the transfer by West Ham fans which to put it mildy was absolute delusion bordering on lunacy.

Brendan Rodgers and The Difference That Two Make

How good is it being a Celtic fan at the moment? Absolutely incredible in my view and it's only going to get better as long as Brendan Rodgers sticks around. Glancing quickly at the league table shows the kind of impact the Northern Irishman has made and while it's tempting to talk about complete transformations, the reality is that Brendan hasn't really even started on his grand plan for the club. 19 points clear with a game in hand, our rivals skelped three times in consecutive matches and the first trophy polished and stuck away in the cabinet has given us all a warm glow, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the biggest transformation has taken place in the attitude department.

Celtic Gave Them Hope.... Then Ruthlessly Took It Away

"Their can be no true despair without hope"


Happy New Year Bhoys and Ghirls and if anyone is nursing a hangover today at least they are safe in the knowledge that all is right in the world again. Celtic met their newest rivals at Ibrox yesterday and what followed was a tremendous game of football that eventually saw the good guys come out on top with a 2-1 victory. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of the scoreline was the manner in which it was achieved with Rangers actually going ahead, leading to their fans hopes rising faster than a mason ref up the Scottish football ranks. Just as all good stories do, it inevitably ended with the heroes coming back from the brink and successfully winning the day.

Taking Care Of Business

In just 3 days time Celtic will travel to Ibrox Park for a Hogmany clash that promises to be an all-action derby against the spirit of their once feared rivals Glasgow Rangers. Of course with the club having the same (worse in some cases) fans it's only natural that we want to inflict as much damage on them as we possibly can to lay down a marker for 2017. Well for now it's time to put that game to the back of our minds because the mighty Celtic have some business to take care of first, a fact that seems to be overlooked by our friends in the media and some Celtic fans in general.

Moussa Dembele Proves His Celtic Decision Was The RIGHT One

Well done Moussa Dembele! Celtic's high flying young striker has just been crowned the French Under 21 Player of the Year and the win will only add to the young striker's reputation as one of the hottest property's in Europe. Remarkably he has beaten off competition from Anthony Martial and Kinglsey Coman who represent Manchester United and Bayern Munich respectively. However the fact that both play in better leagues has raised some interesting questions about just what coming to Scotland actually means for an ambitious player who has the world at his feet.

Celtic Prove Some Things Never Change

Well it wasn't pretty but we got there. Celtic recorded a 1-0 victory over Hamilton at Celtic Park and made it a spectacular 14th victory from 15 consecutive matches. Brendan Rodgers continues to wave his magic wand and the clubs currently behind us will be wondering just how this formidable Celtic team are going to slip up... if we ever do. Of course we don't mind that the chasing pack see us as invincibles, in fact we welcome the chase and anyone in any doubt that this side are capable of doing the nitty gritty and grinding out a result would do well to take a look at the 90 minutes of action that was played tonight.

Celtic Hold All The Cards As Pack Chase Our Star Man

Another day, another Dembele out the door rumour makes it's way onto the back pages. How tiresome is it to read what is essentially the same story every day of the week? Seriously it's like groundhog day SMSM style in Scottish football right now and our star striker seems to be slap bang in the centre of a transfer tug of war between more teams than a football manager database. Are the rumours all they seem though? For instance the tone of these articles makes it seem like Dembele is already a goner and Celtic staff are sobbing helplessly in the background waiting on his inevitable departure, despite the player himself indicating he wants to stay. Why should we be resigned to losing him so early in his Celtic career?

Celtic Accused Of Arrogance By Er..... ??????

Oh how predictable the Scottish sports media are when it comes to our great club. Today the Daily Record ran their most ridiculous headline of the week and for a paper that excels at churning out utter guff that is quite an achievement.

Celtic Take A Sledgehammer To Their Hampden Hoodoo

What a way to land the 100th Trophy in our glorious unbroken history. Celtic put in a performance yesterday that had fans across the globe drooling in awe. Seriously this was a classy and dominant display from a team that is only 6 months in the making and the transformation from last season is even more astonishing when you consider only one of the starting eleven was a new signing. Hard to believe isn't it? Of the 11 heroes who brought home the league cup yesterday, only Moussa Dembele wasn't a part of the disastrous Deila debacle.
