Celtic Thread | 2025/26

Celtic are possibly one of the best run clubs in the UK!

The Celtic owners have positioned their people in all the leading positions in the game in Scotland and have a vice like grip on the game.

What Irish Lad is saying is nothing new. I bring it up every time MP moans about the Celtic board!

Dermott Desmond is on record as saying he will spend enough to keep Celtic as the top team in Scotland. They will NOT throw pointless money at trying to challenge in Europe as the Top leagues have so much control and Celtic may be rich in Scottish terms but cannot compete with the so called ‘big’ teams. The wages alone would cripple them

CCV £8 million

Trusty £8 million

Idah £9 million

Engels £12 million

At least twice they’ve broken their transfer record in the last couple of millions

On top of this if you are a genuine £20 million player are you going to want to play in Scotland? As a die hard supporter of the club game in Scotland I wouldn’t dream of playing in our league if I had the talent to play elsewhere


you'd hope the new board at rangers will do the same, but I dont think they do.

I’m thinking it’s more a long term investment with Cavangh and 49ers

I’ve heard that our hospitality customers have been offered boxes next season at Hampden as Ibrox is going to be closed due to huge ground development including filling the corners in.

If above is true I’m going to be gutted as I hate that stadium.

Yeah its badly falling apart that place.
 
Not last season you didn’t.

Our draw was fucking ridiculous and we still qualified top 8
But you can never win the league, or any cup. But all the teams you beat where brilliant? I watched the games, most of them were pish. Might have been good in the past, but they have now dropped a level. You try to convince everybody they are as good as they were in the CL. Bottom line. They would have to be pish to get beat by a pish team that never wins fuck all.

We know we got a good draw, and we should have got more points, but we got out of the group.

Also remember, you had been getting results in the EL before you got into the CL. Look what happened to that team who were also great in Europe, but got taken to the fucking cleaners. You compare two totally different things and claim victory. Worst ever team in the group phase. That's where you

You keep harping back to our UCL campaign. We drew Liverpool, who put 7 by a United team that cost 100s of millions a couple of weeks after pumping us. A rampant Napoli that were cruising Serie A at the time and a decent Ajax who had just spent £20+ million signing our best player

That season you keep going back to we overturned a 2-0 first leg defeat against a great USG team. We then went away from home and beat PSV to qualify and still won the most coefficient points for Scotland.

You also have to factor in an injury list that to this day I’ve seen nothing like it. At one point we had James sands , a midfielder, and a poor Leon King , who is even now a million miles from being first choice at Ibrox, as our central defensive partnership

It was a perfect storm and that coupled with a 4-0 Old Firm defeat , IMHO, cost GvB his job that we’ve never recovered from.

Now we’ve got that one season out the way let’s look a record that took Celtic many years to achieve….

The Parkhead outfit have now lost 58.9 per cent of their Champions League games – 43 out of 73 – which, according to the BBC, is the highest ratio of any side with at least 50 games played in the history of the competition. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their 37 Champions League away games, conceding 89 goals.

When was the last time you won a knockout game in Europe?
————————-

It’s embarrassing for both our clubs and the country as a whole. We are both a million miles away from being good enough and it’s not changing any time soon.
 
Well, surprise surprise. The champagne will need to last another day. Probably loads of other days. Signing players an issue that never seems to be solved.
 
Playing well. Should be more than one up. Engels had a brilliant free kick off the post. Kenny tries hard, but the lad doesn't anticipate fast enough. Hope Rogers brings on Yamada.

The only reason I can fathom, is, Yamada is a player, but Rogers thinks the board won't buy if he can score.

What other possible reason is there, to give Idah and Kenny starts?

Baffling, if my theory isn't true. And worrying.
 
Yet another helping hand by cheating refs and var for Rangers. Fuckibg cheats.

The message has gone out, Rangers are their usual overhyped shite and cheating will help. Fucking cowards.

IFAB rules state that if a player's non-deliberate handball denies a goal or clear scoring opportunity a penalty will be awarded with the defensive player receiving a yellow - which happened in the case of O'Donnell.

Here to help.

Alloa should have had a penalty before they scored. Nothing. Just as well they put it away, they were getting sweet FA.

What rule does that come under?

IFAB: No penalties against Rangers.

Desperate , desperate stuff

Just hold your hand up and admit you called it wrong.
 
Ffs Brugge were 3-0 last night at this stage : ))))
 
I wish I was surprised. Say's it all.

If only somebody had mentioned we needed a striker, since January, and a winger?

Hindsight eh, what a ****.

Back to my spanners.

The striker you had playing was your record transfer fee.

I honestly cannot believe you’re on the brink of failing against that mob! I had Kairat +3 and I thought I had no chance… cheers

They've ere better than most thought. Idah is and always has been a shit football player. I think i mentioned that several times since he arrived.

Piss taking aside I’ve no doubt at all that you’ll get through easily enough. I’m pleased the tie is still tight as there will be no resting players ahead of the first Old Firm game.
