Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has stated that he’s annoyed that Hearts hitman Steven Naismith has been promised the Scotland number nine jersey by Alex McLeish, for the next UEFA Nations League game against Israel next month: “It’s a kick in the teeth. Not just for me but for all the strikers.” “It’s an incentive to […]

After a bit of a hectic week off the field, Celtic showed a united front on the park as they dominated the first derby game of the season and saw off Rangers by a goal to nil. Midfielder Olivier Ntcham was the match winner and is all round display was fantastic as The Hoops once […]

Celtic supporters are understandably frustrated by what went on behind the scenes at Celtic Park during the recent transfer window. The Scottish Premiership champions managed to break their transfer record when they signed Odsonne Edouard from PSG for £9m. Emilio Izaguirre returned to act as cover for the left back role and Aussie whizkid Daniel […]

The signing of Youssouf Mulumbu might not be the star name Celtic supporters were hoping for this summer and his arrival certainly doesn’t paper over the mistakes made by the Parkhead club’s board during the transfer window. Yet brining in the midfielder should represent a smart bit of business from Brendan Rodgers and the Celtic […]

Scottish Premiership side Rangers have managed to reach the Europa League group stage, after they defeated Russian side FC Ufa in their final qualifying tie. The 1-1 away result was even more remarkable when you consider Steven Gerrard’s men finished the game with just nine men on the pitch. Just when Rangers needed calm heads […]

I can see why people would speculate that Celtic are interested in Dundee defender Steven Caulker. The Hoops could be about to send Calvin Miller up to Dens Park for a season long loan deal and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has worked with Caulker at Liverpool and was reportedly interested in the twenty-six year […]

It’s fair to say Cristian Gamboa hasn’t been used too often since he arrived at Celtic in the summer of 2016. The defender has made just nineteen Scottish Premiership appearances in his first two seasons at the club and he’s yet to play for The Hoops during this league campaign. But they say patience is […]

Celtic were dumped out of the Champions League last night, after losing 2-1 to AEK Athens in Greece. To most Celtic fans and observers of Scottish football, they weren’t overly surprised by the outcome. Mainly because The Hoops have the same flaws that they’ve had for many years now. I think that the board, the […]

I don’t mind agents trying to do their best by their client, especially if that player only has twelve months left on their current deal. But Dedryck Boyata’s agent hasn’t really done that this summer, in my opinion. The Belgian defender had a very decent World Cup and has had plenty of interest in him […]

It’s funny what can happen if a manager comes out and demands more from his board when it comes to transfers. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers basically did that yesterday and since that news conference the Scottish Premiership champions have been heavily linked once again with Hibs midfielder John McGinn and moves to bring Jason Denayer […]
