Some outlets saying Gerrard front running with potential for Beale to come back too! -please tell me that I am still sleeping and having the most horrendous nightmare - hopefully my alarm will go off soon and the horror dreams will just be down to the excess of cheese I ate last night before bed????.
1.) 23 Apr 2025 08:08:30
Beale won't be back that's an absolute guarantee.
Gerrard maybe, that's who I think. Not Beale.
2.) 23 Apr 2025 08:11:07
Fingers crossed you are only stuck in 2020.
Time to come Back to the Future!
3.) 23 Apr 2025 08:59:27
Floyd
Who t hese outlet? Beale scare and gers won't tolerate return even if with SG. Somebody mentioned Dÿche. Old school not necessarily good school and hope not.
4.) 23 Apr 2025 09:06:01
Beale could easily be back if ot was gerrard (dont think it will be) . He eventually went out to Saudi with him.
5.) 23 Apr 2025 09:16:21
Whoever gets the Rangers manager's job undoubtedly they'll get my full backing but personally i would prefer it not to be sean dyche ?I'd much prefer a younger more progressive modern manager/ head coach with fresh ideas, that plays a nice brand of attacking football ?.

Great run once more in Europe - punched above our weight but the usual defensive frailties cost us once more- and not just Europe for note! .
We could have written it on piece of paper who would get hurt/ injured and want off the pitch - we could also have forecast the usual lackadaisical marking and defensive errors which has been our downfall for too long this year and many a year.
Hopefully the 49rs eyes were on these faults and now is the time to make MAJOR defensive changes.
Those who were crying out on here yesterday to give big Balogun another contract should look away - we need and have to find players who can and will last 90 mins or more and play numerous games on the trot for us and not be bit part players. Balogun 10 years ago yes - but today his body cannot do what his mind says - fact.
One right back who's time is long gone, cannot mark cannot move towards a player without fear of getting ripped and constantly ball watches and allows players to ghost in behind (carbon copy of many goals have we seen this way? ) and one left back who does have the pace but backtracks constantly allowing attackers into the 18 yard box and beyond - it was plain to see that we needed to get to their wide men asap but we looked timid and scared - this will not do! Their backs shut us down quickly as soon as we threatened - therein lies the difference in defending properly.
Balogun/ Ridvan/ Tavernier/ Propper - time is up lads - thanks but please move on!
Souttar caught for penalty and the ripped off jersey for Dessers shows the tale of the two sides as penalties go- better team won and deserved it but this should and must be the ultimate catalyst for major change on and off the park (especially in defensive areas) - I want a physical team full of fit and able players for start of next season - no matter how tough that is to achieve. Come on consortium we need you asap!
1.) 18 Apr 2025 09:34:51
Totally agree with all that you said Blue-Floyd. If we don't sell, then build a team round Dio, Raskin and Igamane. Keep the likes of Nsiala, Barron as still young with potential. Maybe keep Kelly, Souttar as good squad players. The rest need to go, your Ridvan, Hagi, Propper, Danillo.
10 Apr 2025 07:25:17
If we keep the Williams boys quite tonight we could sneak it ?but Tavs needs to be on top form as there will more "Maeda type" forays on his side of the park - another night for viewing from behind the couch I feel?.
1.) 10 Apr 2025 09:03:53
Williams is a big step up from Maeda pal.
2.) 10 Apr 2025 09:51:21
StillB - Mucho agreement there - maybe Sterling to double up with Tavs as we will be under the cosh on the flanks for certain.
3.) 10 Apr 2025 11:43:44
It's their biggest way of scoring goals is the wing and cut back, we need to be bang on it from minute one.
4.) 10 Apr 2025 12:30:45
Whatever system we play Sterling has to be at right back tonight to counter Williams. I think we'll start with 3 at the back and Tav playing as right wing back . I hope too that we play Balogun in Souttars place as the central one . I think it suits him better than it does Propper.
5.) 10 Apr 2025 14:06:59
Wslgers, I think Sterling will definitely be shadowing Williams.
30 Mar 2025 09:32:41
Well lads - there is definitely NO DEFENCE for OUR DEFENCE yet again!
We cannot and will not challenge next season if the same culprits turn out in back four and we give cheap goals away constantly
Ridvan tracking back last night was atrocious (should have been hooked after 20mins) s and the inability to do basics like get to the attacker quicker and close down space is basically lost on most of our defenders.
The defending is schoolboy to say the least and every corner against us gives me the fear. Barry says he needs to fix this but every manager before him has failed so let's be honest it is the standard of player we have at the back which is and will continue to cost us dearly. Any and I mean any team who goes at us with ball at feet causes problems and for numerous seasons we watch the same old repeats (much like BBC telly. ) and have yet to learn from it.
The defence is in need of major surgery and hopefully new regime will appreciate this and act on it accordingly - Tav is done, Balogun is done (but has heart and desire but not legs now) Souttar ok when fit, Propper looks slow and is easily bullied, Ridvan/ Jefte ok going forward but defending is not part of their DNA and same goes for Tavernier .
It is basics after all - limit teams chances and allow forwards to do business -not really hard to work out ?- no real point of creating loads chances - scoring 4 but yes should have been more and defending like schoolboys.
FGS this need sorted and Barry just shouting at them just doesn't cut it for me - several new faces need at the back or prepare for more of the same next season IMHO!
1.) 30 Mar 2025 09:38:41
You honestly could mot make a decent left back between jefte and ridvan. that's 2 horror shows on the bounce at dens for ridvan.
2.) 30 Mar 2025 10:03:59
Nothing much else Barry can do at this moment of time though is their?
As you say its the standard of players we have can't work miracles.
But if he hadn't stood their shouting yelling instruxtions and willing them on and telling grown up professional players to do their job what would the result have been last night?
Imagine if he sat in his dugout in his chair and watched the defeat unfold?
3.) 30 Mar 2025 10:21:04
Yilmaz is no better than jefte let's be honest.
I agree that new back line up needed as I wouldn't keep any of them and a new GK.
4.) 30 Mar 2025 10:24:31
Add Butland to that list he is poor.
5.) 30 Mar 2025 10:32:50
I'm sure I've seen posters saying both will make the club a fortune then tell other posters they know nothing about the game. Jefte can't defend he was playing in Cyprus for a reason.
6.) 30 Mar 2025 10:33:19
Yilmaz on his game is a far better player than Jefte right now, Butland needs replaced and a lcb signed can't see us getting a better rcb than John Souttar he is best cb in Scotland in my eyes.
7.) 30 Mar 2025 10:43:08
Both Yilmaz and Jefte are more than good enough to play for us, but both have to be played within the right system.
Personally I think Jefte is better than Yilmaz.
8.) 30 Mar 2025 10:57:33
EHL - we don't seem to play a defensive system though? - Its every man for himself and bugger marking anyone or even trying to get close to the attacker - which in itself helps?.
9.) 30 Mar 2025 11:25:15
Blue-Floyd - I agree, our squad is a mishmash of players suited to different systems and we any genuine on park leadership.
As a result we rarely control games for any sustained periods and we make it easy for teams to isolate any weaknesses we have.
10.) 30 Mar 2025 11:40:57
EHL - agreed bud - hopefully we see big changes for next season in that area of park??.
11.) 30 Mar 2025 11:43:43
Again big tav and butland errors when will people see butland is just average keeper and tav is past it and can't defend.
12.) 30 Mar 2025 12:18:55
Go Jack/ coldo who are you replying to? It certainly can't be me as I never said anything like that.
13.) 30 Mar 2025 12:24:43
Fraser looks to be the best lb of the 3 tbh.
14.) 30 Mar 2025 12:27:57
He's having a pop at Star Storm, just doing his usual stalking.
15.) 30 Mar 2025 14:25:54
Yilmaz is good going forward, godsake what game were you watching?
09 Mar 2025 06:45:45
On a different note - hopefully we are still trying to broker deals for the likes of Lennon Miller of Motherwell and other suitable young players because lbh as soon as any takeover takes place they will get the cheque book out to go for the likes of the same to appease their masses ??.
1.) 09 Mar 2025 08:36:46
Why would they need to appease anyone?
If they're clearing debt as people on here say they have they may expect appreciation from the masses instead of having to appease them.
2.) 09 Mar 2025 09:34:11
I can't see us signing Miller.
I'm still not convinced he makes our starting 11 and I think we'll prioritise spending on the areas that will.
3.) 09 Mar 2025 09:52:03
Agree Lazlo I hope they stick to the exact same process we started this season but add a couple of experienced players in there, OOC if possible and they are the right fit. This expectation that the new owners will come in and instantly spend a lot of money might leave a lot of those same masses disgruntled if it doesn't happen.
4.) 09 Mar 2025 10:32:41
LAZLO the THEY was meaning Celtic not our board or potential new board/ owners - you have wrong end of the stick my friend! ?
ie THEY will spend to appease THEIR fans/ supporters.
5.) 09 Mar 2025 10:53:19
Brighton supposidly going to table 5m for lennon miller and send him to there sister club union sg for yr loan well that's according to the daily rebel.
6.) 09 Mar 2025 12:20:00
I've yet to see Lennon miller stand out at all when we've played Motherwell. Yes we should be looking at all the best domestic talent but at 4m etc I'm not seeing it, I have noticed tenacious guys like Cameron etc during matches but not enough from miller to say he's starting 11 comfortably and that's what a 4m signing needs to be for us.
7.) 09 Mar 2025 12:41:23
BF I thought you meant our new owners as well. just call them Celtic and it removes the confusion.
8.) 09 Mar 2025 12:54:29
Miller not really stood out and won games for Motherwell although is very comfortable on ball and should kick on, maybe in a team with better players around him he could go on to be the next big thing, a beginning of season I would of said it was a NO brainier but would have to watch him week in week out to be sure, on the other hand the lad Cameron has been a stand out against us for last two seasons and should be shrewd buy for us.
9.) 09 Mar 2025 13:21:39
Personally I think he is going to be the next big star to come out of Scotland as long as he doesn't get shunted into some big EPL teams youth team . He totally controlled the game for Motherwell against us last week as he did at Fir Park in the last game .
I don't know if we can afford him but if we can't he is one that we are going to look at and regret missing out on, in years to come.
If he is willing to come we should be talking to Motherwell now and sorting something out, takeover or not. We don't need to pay the whole fee upfront and we know we will be bringing in money for some of our loanees in the summer.
10.) 09 Mar 2025 14:00:34
I've never been blown away by Lennon Miller.
11.) 09 Mar 2025 14:09:15
Good move for Miller going to Belgium, Brighton first team player at 21.
12.) 09 Mar 2025 14:49:29
Cool lads - clarity is key - and as my old English teacher would say - u must do better young man in grammar?
Just meant Celtic will spend some cash to placate the masses and hoped we get in first.
13.) 09 mar 2025 15:31:04
it was obvious to me blue
i agree with mph, i havnt been overly impressed either, maybe i havnt seen enough, but one thing strikes me
he's still at motherwell.
14.) 09 Mar 2025 17:13:00
Tom still at motherwell as 18 won't be at 19.
15.) 09 Mar 2025 17:34:29
He will be away from them in summer his family are doing it the right way getting plenty of appearances in at a young age IMHO. It depends where he goes as the epl would be a mistake Italy probably best for him.
16.) 09 Mar 2025 17:36:25
Wouldn't be comfortable paying what they would want.
11 May 2025 18:37:50
100% Paul - Tavs needs to go and we have totally fresh start?.
11 May 2025 09:08:58
Fanny Sunesson? - she has had many many clubs ????️♂️and hear she favours Lawrence "Shank" land as assistant.
11 May 2025 08:57:08
Scotty55- Correct! we need to buy wisely and dump the deadwood - which will take time.
11 May 2025 08:54:23
49rs are no mugs and won't take chance on an untried imho.
11 May 2025 07:41:59
Cant afford either I feel -as money needing spent all over the park - time for our scouting team to find the next younger Sima or Cerny?.
10 May 2025 09:36:01
Just hope Ebeneezers Goode Eezers Goode- ????.
09 May 2025 08:53:56
He'd be visiting the SFA for a skelp on the wrist every other week - too volatile for us imho - though loved the wee tiger as a player?.
08 May 2025 17:08:32
"All my Life" Lads . The cry was play "The Pretender" and hopefully we are not on the "Long Road To Ruin " again- and that with cash coming in we will have "Times like These" more often (good times at that) - sorry Gdog - you made me get the vinyl on again?.
08 May 2025 07:17:52
Aribo no thanks - Cerny yes please ?.
07 May 2025 14:58:14
MCminted - Specsavers are calling you for a free test ASAP - U must be joking man????.
