5…4…3…2…1…

By: JT | Comments 4 Comments

There’s nothing quite like transfer deadline day.
Its enjoyable during the summer to be sure, but the closing of the January window is unlike anything else in sport. The clubs are mid-season, and they know their squads’ deficiencies far better than they did heading into the campaign.
Supporters know what they want […]

‘Well-Celtic: The Frozen Tundra of Fir Park

By: JT | Comments 4 Comments

Celtic travel to Fir Park today to take on Motherwell, in their first visit to face the Steelmen since Phil O’Donnell, a hero for both clubs, passed away after an on-the-pitch collapse. It should be an emotional day for all those at Celtic, in particular Scott McDonald who moved from ‘Well to Celtic just […]

Samaras & Mizuno In, Lafferty Out

By: JT | Comments 10 Comments

Celtic have brought out-of-favor Manchester City striker Georgios Samaras to Parkhead in a loan move, with the Bhoys having the option of making the deal permanent.
The 6′4″ Greek international is looking to regain a place on his country’s roster ahead of the defense of their improbable Euro 2004 title later this summer in […]

Its Better to Be Lucky…

By: JT | Comments 3 Comments

There’s a lot of merit to that old cliché, but its not much consolation when the club that you support is living incredibly dangerously, still four points behind their ancient rival in the league, and faced with a home-and-home against one of the world’s premier outfits in a few short weeks.
Celtic somehow managed to escape […]

Boro Youngster Signed, Guzan Mulling Offer

By: JT | Comments No Comments

Celtic have signed a pre-contract agreement with Middlesbrough’s young prospect Ben Hutchinson. The 20 year-old striker has forced his way into Gareth Southgate’s plans this season with some great performances for the reserves and he’s made five appearances for the first team, mostly in Cup matches, scoring one goal. If Celtic and Boro […]

Who is Jan Durica? Naylor to Pompey?

By: JT | Comments No Comments

Celtic have failed in their bid to bring Slovakian left-back/central defender Jan Durica of FC Saturn Moscow Oblast to Parkhead. The Bhoys are reported to have offered the substantial sum of £3m for Durica, but the Russian side feels that amount does not meet their valuation of the player, who is a regular on […]

Its Time for a Tactical Shift

By: JT | Comments 4 Comments

The Celtic-Kilmarnock match last Saturday was really nothing to write too much about, hence the delay in the report. Celtic dominated a club that came hoping for a draw, and whose front line rarely ventured beyond the halfway line. Killie keeper Alan Combe was everywhere, saving all shots from all angles in the […]

Dunne, Guzan, and the Poles

By: JT | Comments 4 Comments

I suppose its only natural for every Irish international to be linked to Celtic in one way, shape, or form during their professional career.
I don’t know if its just the logical thing for an agent to do when they are trying to wring some extra cash from the Irishman’s current club or what, […]

Odds & Ends on a Sunny Friday

By: JT | Comments 3 Comments

By far the most entertaining rumor circulating on the Celticnet these days is that the Bhoys’ esteemed manager, Wee Gordon Strachan, attended Wednesday’s Manchester City-West Ham FA Cup replay to watch…wait for it…Mark Noble.
Now The Mirror is reporting that Celtic are preparing a £4m bid for the Hammer.
Let’s see, Noble is born and […]

As the Rumor Mill Turns

By: JT | Comments 2 Comments

The January transfer window has nearly reached its halfway point, and Celtic have fared pretty well. Addressing the revolving door at right back had to be priority number one, and the signing of German international Andreas Hinkel should fill that void quite nicely.
Japanese midfielder Koki Mizuno might take a while to adapt […]
