Since Aiden McGeady’s swashbuckling performance against Benfica on Tuesday, the plaudits have come pouring in. Manager Gordon Strachan hailed McGeady’s efforts as “awesome“. Celtic keeper Artur Boruc thinks the Irishman has the potential to be better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Midfield mate Paul Hartley called McGeady’s nite “one of the best wide performances” […]

The two-time SPL & reigning Scottish Cup Champs are about 48 hours away from raising the Championship flag and kicking off the season against Kilmarnock. That makes this the right time for a preview of […]

The Celtic Football Club recently completed a two match, week-long trip to these United States, and while its difficult to draw too many concrete conclusions from what we witnessed during the friendlies, there are some things that are fairly obvious. Let’s start from the back:
• Artur Boruc is indisputably world class. There […]
Meet the Celts-Jan the Man & Co.

Maciej Zurawski (Poland)—Magic is an oft-injured but productive player who’s consistently scored goals at every level. 22 goals in 50 appearances for the Hoops isn’t bad, and the hope is that he can be a solid partner to JV of H, but he has serious competition.
Kenny Miller (Scotland)—Kenny’s never been a fan favorite, and […]

Scott Brown (Scotland)—The “hottest property in Scottish football” moved to Celtic from Hibs in the most expensive ever transfer between Scottish clubs. At only 21, he’s experienced, quick, tough, and energetic. He’ll be expected to make an immediate impact. Beating Rangers to his signing makes his move all the more sweet.
Paul Hartley […]
Meet the Celts–Defenders

Lee Naylor (England)—The Celtic faithful were less than enthralled when Naylor signed last summer. But he’s proven to be dedicated to the shirt, hard in the tackle, and looks set to be the long term solution at left back.
Gary Caldwell (Scotland)—The former Hibs captain is a versatile defender and defensive midfielder whose introduction helped […]
Meet the Celts–Keepers & Today’s Celtic News
By: JT | No Comments
Artur Boruc (Poland)—Rightly regarded as one of the top keepers in Europe, I covered Boruc in yesterday’s post. From the looks of it, he’ll be back between the sticks at Celtic Park for 2007/08 and beyond.
Mark Brown (Scotland)—Former Rangers, Motherwell, and Caley Thistle keeper, he’s a solid backup to Boruc. I’m sure if […]
Meet the Celts–The Holy Goalie
By: JT | 1 Comment
My intention was to write up all the Keepers that are in Celtic’s first team squad, but I quickly determined that Artur Boruc, aka The Holy Goalie aka King Artur, is worthy of his very own post. For me, Boruc was the Celts Player of the Year. He made countless huge saves, vociferously […]
