8m - 10m for one player in Scotland is a lot of money. Celtic can defo afford it though.

Can't see next season being competitive though which is a shame. One team being so dominant seems to be the way up here.

Surely now its time for Brendan to get to CL group  stages ??

to get out of CL group stages you mean?

Not convinced  spunking 10 million and smashing our transfer record on a guy who wasn’t a regular all season and is probably being signed on the back of 1 or 2 good performances (vs Andy Halliday and Co) is that wise. Surely we could have got better with that outlay if we have a scouting system functioning? Wanyama, Van Dijk & Dembele cost less than half of this fee. Not convinced. 

He's not getting signed "on the back of 1 or 2 good performances.  Hes being signed because Rodgers has been working with him every day in training and obviously rates him highly.

Stella McGlone raises serious safety concerns regarding parkhead......

 

 

Mr McGlone’s lawyers claim a drink was spilled on the ground at the stand, which was also wet due to fans bringing in rain water.

The lawyers say the concrete floor, which is around 20 years old, was worn and slippy, causing the dad to fall.

Their claim reads: “The flooring along the row does not meet the minimum slip resistance value considered by the UK Health and Safety Executive as necessary to provide a safe floor environment"

If you do mean get out of the group stages I’m pretty sure PSG, Bayern, Barca and Man City all had players who cost more than £8-10m.

Yes Booker that’s what I meant. The leagues done already but you will want to do better in the CL. You won’t want to kee getting total pumping.

We'd need to get a very fortunate draw to get out of the group stage. I'm thinking Russian champions out of Pot 1 is the main hope. Even then it's a pretty forlorn hope because pot 3 is pretty strong. This is assuming we make it through 4 round of qualifiers (the last 2 rounds of which feature some very tough looking ties) into the groups. Assuming everyone makes it through who should the pots are as follows -

Pot 1                          coef.              Pot 2                          coef.

Buying a reject from the second lowest ranked team in Pot 1 for £8-10m isn't really going to help our prospects of finishing top 2 in most scenarios.  The idea that not making the last 16 would be a failure is baws. I'd like to see us not receive as many hidings as recently however but, again, not sure Edouard's signing is going to ensure that.

A few Celtic related rumours flying around.

1. Southampton want Stuart Armstrong.  I hope they make an offer, hit could be a good move for them and Celtic

2. Celtic are interested in Fabian Schar.  He's got a 3.5 Mil release after Deportivo were relegated.  Would be an excellent signing IMHO

i don't think we can buy anyone that will improve us, but would sign McGinn to rotate with (and eventually replace) Brown - assuming  Ajer stays in defence
