Clement looks like buying Hogh!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
29 Jan 2026 12:43:25
He making a pot of soup😉😇.
29 Jan 2026 15:56:53
Fork just throw the rest of the Christmas cracker jokes in the bin will you 😉.
29 Jan 2026 16:33:02
Think my cheese has slipped off my cracker the day, not taking anything serious😉🤣.
28 Jan 2026 20:55:20
Bowie off to Verona for £6m.
28 Jan 2026 22:20:14
Stevie and to think fans on here thought they will never get £6m (plus add ons) for him 😂😂. now how much do we think Maswanhise is worth?
29 Jan 2026 00:48:33
Angus if Motherwell use this as a benchmark then they'll ask £8m.
29 Jan 2026 08:35:13
I agree and why I have been asking for a while what they are asking as units now it has been fans guessing. This actually allows Motherwell to gauge what a player is worth to other teams outside Glasgow.
not saying they have even had an offer it seems and possibly as he has only showed this form for 1/2 season and is over-performing a bit. but then I am just speculating.
29 Jan 2026 14:50:23
Ur absolutely right in the way your thinking mate, I do think they would quote £8m and maybe you'd get him for £5m plus add ons.
I don't think they'd get a sell on at that price though. They may want to adjust the structure of the price to suit a sell on.
He's got 18 months to run so if he stays there and come summer they're going to be looking at £5m with a 10% I'd guess.
29 Jan 2026 15:59:40
Stevie you may be right but I think they hold all the cards especially if they don't need or want to sell. they finish 4th, get into Europe, even conference league would make them cash. then sell in summer when they will still get a good price and even more if he continues in this vein.
I don't think we want or need him at the moment with our current wide players. if we sell in summer might be a shout.
29 Jan 2026 16:35:54
Yes Angus it seems we're not interested in him whatsoever and that really is annoying me lol
We should have asked to be kept informed at the minimum I hope, that way if Celtic or anyone else go for him we can at least match a bid.
I see Celtic in for redzic today, apparently in discussions with club and Salzburg have an agreement with player but not club yet.
29 Jan 2026 18:55:09
Bowie, is still at hibs,
28 Jan 2026 18:58:56
Stranraer kicked out for ineligible player confirmed. Queens Park instead.
28 Jan 2026 19:35:36
Oh no😱😉😎.
28 Jan 2026 19:42:55
As expected.
28 Jan 2026 20:20:34
lightning never strikes twice in the same spot; is that not the saying 🙈.
28 Jan 2026 14:08:45
Hi Guys, long term reader, first time poster.
Want to gauge your opinion. Do we want Celtic to win tomorrow and go through to the last 16?
Without exception, we would always flatly reject it. However, a win for them will see them playing one of the teams at the top of the group of 16, most certainly get Hu**ed and that would end it.
However, our interest lies in the fact that the two ties are played on 19 and 26 Feb, hopefully with their return leg away and an embarrassing going over. and most importantly. only two days until the lunchtime kick off at Ibrox where we have the potential to put any aspirations they may have remaining to bed.
28 Jan 2026 15:51:57
Yes, I'd like to see them progress.
Anything that will distract them from the league.
28 Jan 2026 15:56:15
I'm going to have to watch what i post.
I'm wanting them to qualify in Europe.
In the thread below I'm saying it wasn't a red card.
People are going to think I'm a Celtic supporter.
28 Jan 2026 17:00:37
I'm in the hope they get through camp I'm afraid. 1. It's important for Scottish football and the coefficient. 2. The extreme games have a big impact on them as they often struggle after plain Europe.
28 Jan 2026 17:20:44
Hopefully they make it, as you said Thursday before us on the Sunday.
28 Jan 2026 17:34:29
Mark we already thought you were one of them 😂.
28 Jan 2026 17:45:28
FFS!
Give yourself a shake🤣.
28 Jan 2026 18:02:15
Yeah I think for the coefficient and then the fact they will play 2 extra games at an important point I'd want them to go through to next round.
28 Jan 2026 18:10:55
a bit conflicted. yes for coefficient and the extra games they get. no as the more often they get beaten the worse their confidence will get.
28 Jan 2026 18:33:55
Yes, as you say extra games. Do the top teams not automaticly get the return leg at home?. Hopefully is a fair distance and no Celtic chief on the board to try influence them.
28 Jan 2026 18:56:45
davie it is the team who finish highest in the league phase in the match who would get the advantage of home leg second. so Celtic are 24th currently and if everything was to stay the same after tonight then they would play one of the teams in 9th or 10th place who would have that home advantage, currently Genk or Porto.
so there is no way Celtic would have that home advantage in the second leg as they can't reach 16th position in the league standings.
28 Jan 2026 19:33:26
Good hearing that Angus, would prefer them away.
28 Jan 2026 20:08:44
Its not the last 16.
28 Jan 2026 21:05:19
Yes want them through, two more Sunday game and one would be against us, couldn't care about the co efficient to be fair as we have never relied on it before, we have made it easier for them for years with our runs in Europe both in league and qualifying for CL when they couldn't win a knockout tie to save themselves, them getting a few more quid just goes in their shareholders pockets anyway.
28 Jan 2026 22:22:43
so Coopers what about in future years when we slip down coefficient table and the prize for winning the league is a spot in Europa League qualifying. so need to think about how it affects us in longer term.
29 Jan 2026 09:04:59
What have other Scottish teams done for us in coefficient, up to us to do it ourselves, hope Celtic go through as it will benefit us in league possibly but that's it, outwith Celtic I don't mind other Scottish teams winning in Europe but not for points just so our league not laughed at.
29 Jan 2026 10:55:54
Extra games for themand coefficient points helps us so i hope they qualify.
28 Jan 2026 14:01:46
Bhoy88, from what I know at this stage I think you are going to be very disappointed.
28 Jan 2026 17:36:09
Aphelion you talking about the cf? Norwich?
28 Jan 2026 17:58:15
I can't comment on exact details but I think at this stage they will be disappointed.
28 Jan 2026 18:08:34
Disapointed regarding what?
28 Jan 2026 18:37:04
Signings.
28 Jan 2026 18:58:13
Signing for us or yous?
28 Jan 2026 19:34:14
Bhoy88 think it must the Bodo cf.
28 Jan 2026 20:16:48
No signing for you.
28 Jan 2026 20:19:48
Looking like Clement has got him Bhoy88.
28 Jan 2026 20:33:29
Aphelion when you said you'd be surprised if he took a step backwards by joining us, I know there was a bit of tongue and cheek in that comment, but I actually thought the same tbf hense why I asked you if there was any truth in it🤷.
28 Jan 2026 21:12:53
The truth is that Celtic have made no formal offers for many of the recently linked players.
28 Jan 2026 21:50:44
Didn't think he'd take that many steps back Aphelion! He could do a bit better than Norwich I'd have thought or maybe that's his level🤷.
28 Jan 2026 22:06:26
6th best league in Europe is not too bad a level 😉.
28 Jan 2026 22:10:42
But bhoy88 to buy a player you need to actually make clubs an offer.
I think your club has forgotten how football works.
28 Jan 2026 22:23:54
Bhoy obviously the attraction of being managed by an ex-Rangers manager. hoping some of that sparkle rubs off on him 😉😂🙈.
28 Jan 2026 23:38:19
Don't you worry about us Aphelion👍.
28 Jan 2026 23:40:35
Maybe he's looking forward to winning 3-3 under Clement, is that the sparkle you mean🤭.
29 Jan 2026 08:38:14
touché but he is doing much better at Norwich where they are buying him some of the players they have identified. we didn't really do that. bit like being a Celtic manager at the moment.
sorry can't help a bit of real banter.
MON is still talking about signings but that he is worried he buys players the next manager doesn't want. I wonder if that is a little bit of the delay; that indecision.
28 Jan 2026 11:29:45
Comedy gold over there. So we are now back to cheating Beaton. Only 6 months ago they where saying that Beaton was their lucky charm.
I tend to agree with the cheating Beaton as why didn't he call McLean over to the monitor for the scales volley on the Hearts player in the box at 2 each.
They all say they want shot of their board. Blaming var and referees plays right into their boards hand as it shifts the blame from them to the referees. Not Beaton or Mclean fault they have taken a year to replace a striker or their bench is full of turds.
28 Jan 2026 12:27:51
Always cheated stewarty boy init. It's actually pathetic to the point of hilarity! If we win the league this year it will be. The masonic refs or the mysterious 5 way agreement that their board are adhering to as to give Rangers the title will result in a more competitive league.
N the main down play will be that they have gifted us the leauge due to their incompetent board. By that standard them we've gifted them countless titles over the years due to our incompetent governance. Happy days mate 😅😂.
28 Jan 2026 13:22:14
By the law of averages, the 5 way agreement is fue to fall in our favour 😉😉😉.
28 Jan 2026 15:09:34
Board likely glad of the distraction while they faff about doing very little in the transfer market.
28 Jan 2026 17:27:30
Tempted to have a look but find their site mind numbing.
27 Jan 2026 18:46:22
celtic lost the appeal shouldn't he have an extra game ban? Isn't that what usually happens.
{Ed001's Note - usually that is only if it is considered to be a frivolous appeal.}
27 Jan 2026 19:38:24
That'll went down well in the East.
27 Jan 2026 19:48:53
No wonder they rarely get someone sent off. It's seems whenever they do they go mental. They are certainly playing it well and there is a good chance they will make it 100 games till the next one.
27 Jan 2026 19:57:21
Robbie they had a case, so extra ban wouldn't come into play, as ed said.
27 Jan 2026 20:51:30
Thanks wasn't sure how it works.
27 Jan 2026 20:57:48
I think there is a £1000 fee which they lose. the appeal wasn't frivolous as has been said so why punish the player further.
27 Jan 2026 21:41:51
My Star, did you think it was a red card?
27 Jan 2026 21:42:29
Fork, their pages are comedy gold lately.
27 Jan 2026 21:44:06
Mark I'm still never seen it mate.
27 Jan 2026 21:44:53
Seen what the ex ref said though.
27 Jan 2026 22:05:51
I've watched it several times and I don't think it was a red.
What did the ex ref say about it?
27 Jan 2026 22:30:37
Said it wasn't stopping him getting through on goal.
27 Jan 2026 22:36:22
Mark referee Des Roache said that several elements of obvious goals coring chance weren't met but it is all subjective. Michael Stewart said it was a penalty which will mean it wasn't 😉.
Roache said that it wasn't because of the distance to the goal (25-30 yards), the player (Kabore) was moving away from the goal, there were covering defenders (Scales and Murray), and the ball was played 10-12 yards ahead, making control uncertain.
so extremely subjective but couldn't see the panel going against the ref even if the above does make some sense. I can see both opinions.
27 Jan 2026 22:53:18
Other player was covering it.
28 Jan 2026 06:00:08
Will have a nosey Mark👍.
28 Jan 2026 08:32:34
My Star, take a look at it on YouTube and let me know what you think.
28 Jan 2026 10:47:10
I thought it was a red.
First red card for Celtic domestically in 2 years.
It's all subjective though.
Apparently Hearts player is a flying machine.
Scales, the covering player, is as slow as a week in the Bar-L.
So, the Hearts player was definitely getting to the ball first and getting a shot away.
Anyway, that's how my blue tinted specs see it. Just enjoying the East End meltdown more than anything. 😎.
28 Jan 2026 11:46:56
Tbh I thought they arrived at the correct decision in the end. I'm sure the rule is pretty clear - if the player is likely to be able to get a shot away at goal if he hadn't been fouled, a red card should be shown.
I reckon he would have been able to get his attempt away before the centre back can get across to him.
28 Jan 2026 14:43:38
needs to be a shot that would be likely to score though so angle of shot needs to be taken into consideration. however even with that and having watched it again it is a red card.
28 Jan 2026 18:07:55
Fib, it was a red all day long, I've just seen half the Celtic team in Ladbroke betting they will make it too 100 games before they see another red card. Lol.
29 Jan 2026 09:06:50
Wether it was a red or not is Immaterial, how many times have other teams including us been subject to dodgy game changing decisions, red cards, having perfectly good goals cut off, goal keepers kicked in the face etc. They need to accept that from time to time these things happen. It happens against them once and it's a global conspiracy against Celtic.
27 Jan 2026 15:55:40
Aphelion is there any truth in Kasper Hogh to Celtic rumours?
I'm surprised we would be in for another striker tbh.
27 Jan 2026 17:35:43
I have no idea Bhoy.
I would be shocked to see him downgrade so drastically.
27 Jan 2026 17:59:29
Did u not say last week Aphelion that he wouldn't suit our team, struggle against a low bloc, could be wrong might of been someone else.
27 Jan 2026 18:13:57
Yes Cooper he is not comfortable with playing with his back to goal and has never faced an SPFL style low block.
27 Jan 2026 18:32:09
So Celtic is a downgrade from Bobo then Aphelion? 🤔.
Really.
27 Jan 2026 18:40:14
Yes My star really.
27 Jan 2026 18:53:26
oh here we go again 🫣.
Star over the last 5 years in euro competition then the answer is yes. Norway are 14th and Scotland 18th. Bodo are 38th and Celtic are 58th. Bodo are 61st on Opta Power Rankings and Celtic are 146th. Bodo moved up 8 places after their defeat of Man City. I can't see any Scottish team beating Man City at the moment even if they aren't as dominant as they were.
so by the well known accepted rankings they are. don't bother arguing back with your opinion as these are FACTS. (in capitals so you can't argue against them 🙈)
27 Jan 2026 19:02:26
An entire 20 places in the UEFA rankings and an entire continental competition seperates the teams.
If you want to use stats to back up your claims then you cannot argue with the rankings to back up my own.
I don't care about opinions my star.
I can't be bothered with the persistent arguments so I will deal with the rankings when talking to you.
27 Jan 2026 19:35:12
This whole my dad's bigger than your dad is getting really boring now. Aphelion that is not aimed at you so if it appears directly below your post please don't take it that way. This has gone from a discussion to a i'm not backing down under any circumstances type debate. Can we just agree to disagree and move on.
27 Jan 2026 19:39:25
Funny guy Angus😉👍.
27 Jan 2026 19:51:47
I can remember fans on here laughing at Celtic for getting beat of off Bodo Glimt!
27 Jan 2026 20:09:50
Maybe so Angus, am not talking about recent years mate, am talking about as big a club as Celtic.
Celtic fans base and turnover in on a superior scale, and squad valued more than double.
Aphelion it not wanting any argument mate, I'm only making sense, same with the elite club.
27 Jan 2026 20:10:26
JFM I agree entirely. That is why I explicitly stated that I am tired of the persistent arguments.
I am tired of everything being turned into a poorly toned debate.
Anyone who couldn't see the attempt at lighthearted humour in my original reply needs to lighten their mood.
27 Jan 2026 20:13:45
Bhoy88 correct, Bodo is the first Norwegian team making a semi in a European tournament, they had a good few years but not even remotely close to the Celtic, superior turnover and fanbase says that, well it does for me.
27 Jan 2026 20:21:45
To be fair we laugh whoever beats celtic.
27 Jan 2026 20:31:17
My star if the facts are too hard to bare then please don't respond.
You can go on about money and fans all you want it makes no difference to the facts.
Look at Hertha, Schalke ect. Får bigger fanbases than Newcastle or Manchester City could ever dream of.
Not reliant on tourists to make up their fanbases.
We are a country whos football support is usually concentrated to your city/village team.
That cannot be said for Scotland. You are blue or green the others quite frankly are irrelevant.
27 Jan 2026 21:14:16
Aphelion you've heard my opinion, nothing you're saying changes that, I don't believe Bodo are bigger than Celtic, also don't believe Leverkusen are near an elite club, end of chat for me.
27 Jan 2026 21:49:11
Yes my star we have all heard your opinion.
Even when it's abundantly clear we are talking about Facts.
Even when it's irrelevant we all still need to hear my stars opinion.
Everyone is wrong, OPTA, UEFA everybody because my stars opinion contradicts the fact.
27 Jan 2026 22:15:34
JFM it isn't about that. it is about the same thing which happens in so many threads at the moment; Star thinking his opinion trumps facts.
however one further comment and then I am out as it is pointless.
I can see a player in his dotage being asked by his grandkids: " what did you win grandad" and he replies 'Oh I won nothing but I played for the club with a bigger turnover and fanbase". the grandkids will be so impressed. 😉.
27 Jan 2026 22:17:17
Aphelion so Bodo are bigger than Celtic and Leverkusen is elite, fair play, Bodo have had half a dozen good years, Rangers is a bigger club than Bodo, Rangers were in two European finals in 14 years, last 5 years ago, Bodo was the first Norwegian club making a semi final in a European competitions, personally don't believe any club in Norway is or a par with Rangers or Celtic, both easily have a bigger squad valuation, superior fanbase, superior turnover, clubs valued more, had my say anything, that's me.
27 Jan 2026 22:44:34
Angus once again you are correct.
Don't be making a habit of it 😉.
27 Jan 2026 22:56:55
#Had my say anyway.
Angus that's my opinion on it mate, I'm fine with others not agreeing with it, I'm not interested in being correct either.
28 Jan 2026 08:24:34
Final say on Bodo, nobody here in Scotland knew anything about them when they played Celtic.
28 Jan 2026 08:31:43
Mystar you said at 9.14 that is the end of the chat from me. You then posted on it again at 10.17 and 10.56
I try not to take other people's view of posters on board and like to make my own mind up but you seem to be trying very hard to prove other posters opinion of you correct.
Its like the coldo thing, you just don't seem to have an off button.
Its fine if you have different opinions from others, the site would be rubbish if we all thought the same way.
Sometimes its just better to agree to disagree rather than flog it to death.
Take a breath and move on.
28 Jan 2026 09:00:23
JFM cool mate, only putting my point over, did you know anything about Bodo when they played Celtic a few years ago?
Agree with my opinion or don't, it certainly doesn't matter to me.
But my opinion will be heard, I just couldn't believe reading that Bodo is a bigger club than Celtic.
28 Jan 2026 12:29:11
I haven't given my opinion on this debate as it is all pretty pointless. Some are talking about the histories of the clubs and some are talking about current stats. Its two different things but neither of you will back down as the two of you are so stubborn. I haven't said anywhere that I agree or disagree with your point. Surely you must see that saying the topic, was at an end for you and since then posting about another 8 posts on it is just what you do with coldo.
You and Aphelion are more alike than either of you will admit too. One is talking about history and the other recent facts based on UEFA stats and yet you both argue as if its the same thing.
Somebody needs to knock your heads together. Time to put it to bed both of you.
28 Jan 2026 12:29:19
My star please don't ever refer to them ever again as. the celtic. 🤣.
28 Jan 2026 13:23:55
Lol Paul i never noticed that mate.
26 Jan 2026 21:24:56
Hi
Can not believe that some Celtic fans are actually saying they will not win the league this season, I still think they have as much chance as Hearts!
Rangers have a good chance but anything can still happen, but I would never right Celtic off this soon!
Yes they may need players in but we know anything can happen in football, I think right or wrong the board are waiting for the new manager, before spending money!
Rangers need players out and players in as well, but Danny is the difference for me and he may nick the league.
26 Jan 2026 21:35:44
I think both Glasgow clubs have more of a chance than Hearts tbh.
26 Jan 2026 22:35:52
Holeinone it is only a few months ago some of our fans were saying that we would be lucky to make the top 6. losing a game to an OF fan is seen as a disaster when it isn't really; rail crashes in Spain are disasters.
I think that all 3 have a chance but always suspect Hearts will drop away as suspensions and injuries hit especially over a run of games.
the one thing Celtic have in their favour is their experience of getting a title over the line.
we don't have that in the squad overall although we have added Tochi and Skov Olsen who have that experience of winning titles. hopefully that helps the team in the run in.
26 Jan 2026 23:55:46
You're sensible chap that tells it how it is Angus👍.
27 Jan 2026 13:05:13
cheers Boy but down believe in the conspiracies, and try to see the issues outside the normal OF rubbish. may the better team win and hope that is us. even if it isn't I think this season if we keep on this track will stand us in good stead to challenge and win more regularly. small steps 😉.
27 Jan 2026 15:28:44
Their fans saying they have the best players in every position but won't win the league unless they get players in is a head scratcher to be fair, to be fair this discussion will come up every week as all teams drop points, Celtic look to have easiest next five games and should win their homes games easily enough, huge game for us on Sunday and if we win at Hibs then away to Motherwell a fancy us to beat Hearts at Ibrox, one thing for sure going to be nail biting stuff until end of season and can't wait.
27 Jan 2026 18:55:16
Correct Coopers. it was only a few weeks ago we were arguing that none of our team would get in the Hearts team. now we are arguing none o the Celtic team would get in ours. football fans are very situational when it comes to these things.
27 Jan 2026 19:52:52
Cooper yous definitely have the tougher run of fixtures coming up!
27 Jan 2026 20:51:55
I agree Bhoy, if we stay 2 points in front of Celtic after next five games I would be delighted, think next five games will tell if Hearts are the real deal as well, Hibs well and Falkirk will have a big say in this run in and any away games for top three against them have got upset written al over them, squeaky bum time incoming.
28 Jan 2026 04:46:57
Even after the split yous have to go to Celtic Park and Tynecastle, but if yous want to win the league then these tricky fixtures have to be managed!
