The Japanese forward stepped in at striker and played a key part on the day with a first half double before fellow forw...

🟢 After finally putting pen to paper on a permanent move this week Adam Idah could be thrown right back into the action in Sunday's League Cup clash with Hibs. Kyogo suffered a recurrence of his ongoing shoulder injury last week and that could pave the way for the Irishman to show why Brendan Rodgers was so keen to see him return to Celtic Park. The Hoops exited the tournament at this stage last...

Celtic cruised to a second successive win of the Premiership campaign at the weekend and Brendan Rodgers’ has his side playing some impressive stuff in the early weeks of the season.   But whilst he and his players continue to do their bit on the park, it remains to be seen if those behind the scenes can do their bit off it and to provide the necessary re-enforcements to the first team squad.   As...

Kyogo, Khun, Reo and O'Riley were all in fine form last week...

Celtic picked up where they left off last season by cruising past Kilmarnock in league action! It was a four goal fiesta on Flag Day on a day of celebration at Celtic Park but frustration remains at the lack of new signings as the clock ticks down on the summer window. Is former CEO Peter Lawwell to blame for some of that though, or is the current Chairman a convenient bogeyman for fans to blame?...

Celtic have an incredible opportunity to go big this summer. We're the current League and Scottish Cup holders. Financially the club has never been better placed. We're guaranteed Champions league football in the season ahead. And we may be on the cusp of recouping £25M+ for star man Matt O'Riley. There are very few risks in finally pushing the boat out. But, will the powers that be make the moves...

After the high of the Centenary Season in 1988, Celtic had been going through a bit of a sticky patch, but a rare victory over their great rivals Rangers in the Cup in 1990 was cause for optimism. And as the Celtic-daft Devlin family celebrated later that night , there was a knock at the door of their Croy home. It was a very strange man...wearing a bunnet...with a plan! And this visit kicked off...

🍀 Now that Euro 2024 is over (Viva Espana!) all eyes can now fully turn to Celtic's preparations ahead of the new campaign. And with that, are we finally about to see a flurry of activity as Brendan Rodger's looks to bolster his first team squad?

🍀 Celtic drew a line under the 2023/24 campaign just over a week ago but as we know Celtic never stops and there's always plenty to cover - even in the close season. Several of the Bhoys are heading to the Euros with Scotland, but frustratingly Matt O'Riley won't be joining them on the big stage and we look at the ramifications of that from a Celtic point of view. Elsewhere we assess the impact (...
