Quiz: Can you pick out the nationality of these past and present Celtic bargains?

1 week ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Celtic have pulled off plenty of masterstrokes in the transfer window in their recent history, with several past and present Hoops stars joining for bargain fees. Today’s quiz will test your knowledge on some of those, as I’ve tasked you to pick out the nationality of 22 players from four possible options. I’ve included players that we didn’t pay huge amounts for, who either ended up being great long term servants to the club, or sold for big money.
Jackson concedes next season's title to Celtic, as the Fakeover reality starts to set in

1 week ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Whether Keith Jackson ever admits it or not, there is no doubting he reads what we Celtic bloggers write. Because over the years, we’ve been proven right time out of number. He can laugh at us, he can scorn us, as he has often hilariously done to Joe over on VideoCelts. But he can never say that we’ve been as consistently wrong as he has. Joe has always had the last laugh. Over the last week or so, he has gradually started to apply the brakes to his “World Exclusive” story on the US Fakeover.
In a strange twist of fate, Celtic rely on Jimmy Thelin to land them the title today, while Keevins finally loses the plot with his Matalan Catalan hilarity

1 week ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

It’s a strange day in the world of Celtic, to say the least. We can win the title today without kicking a ball, and in a strange twist of fate, we are now relying on Jimmy Thelin, and his resurgent Aberdeen to land title number 55 for us. Yesterday, we kept up our side of the bargain by delivering a masterclass against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park. Whatever Brendan Rodger said at McDiarmid Park and throughout the week since, hit home.
Complacency and the Celtic board go hand in hand. Every time we have an opportunity to pull out of sight, they put the brakes on

1 week ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Yesterday, my colleague over on VideoCelts, Joe McHugh, highlighted Chris Sutton’s article in the Record about the complacency of the Celtic board. James Forrest then followed with his take on it, so I felt obliged to give my view on it as well. In one way or another, we’re all of the same opinion. Complacency comes from the top down at Celtic.
In the wake of Alan Muir's sacking, it's clear Celtic do not apply enough pressure to the SFA. Just imagine what we'd achieve if we did?

There are certain lines that cannot, should not, be crossed in the footballing world, yet Celtic have been on the receiving end of many mind-blowingly crazy decisions that cross lines that would astound you down through the years. Both on and off the park. Cheating by referees is one of those lines should never be crossed. Because what are referees there for after all? But to uphold the laws of the game on the field of play.
The SFA's response to Cerny's antics at Celtic Park is pathetic. If it was a Celtic player, there would be a totally different outcome...

2 weeks ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

So, almost a month later, the SFA have come to a verdict on Vaclav Cerny’s behaviour at Celtic Park. Indeed, in their view, it was all just a bit of tomfoolery. A bit of innocent jiggery pokery, but in order to keep up the pretence of actually doing something about it, they’ve issued him with ‘a formal warning as to his future conduct’. In other words, there’s a good boy, just don’t do it again. The SFA’s compliance officer, Martin Black, decided it’s not worthy of anything more than that.
If Ally McCoist thinks Greg Taylor would move to Ibrox from Celtic, you can rest assured he WON'T be going there

2 weeks ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Last night, on the Trinity Tims podcast, we talked about the farcical coverage in the media of late with regard to Greg Taylor moving to Ibrox. I haven’t really written anything as it’s been well covered by James over on the Celtic Blog. However, I couldn’t resist today when I saw the latest piece of garbage in the Record on it. If I’m honest, I didn’t think after last night this would get any more coveage. But the media are running with this, and the story is starting to grow legs.
Leeds post £76 million in losses, but the Record manages to spin that as a positive to keep the Fakeover, and Ibrox hopes of competing with Celtic alive

2 weeks ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

You’ve got to hand it to the Record, they really do their best to keep the bright side out. As the whole Fakeover nonsense starts to unravel, they’re coming up with exclusives galore, and ways of spinning a £76 million loss at Leeds into a positive. Of course, Keith Jackson is the go-to guy when it comes to all things Fakeover. And what he says goes. Until it doesn’t. Which it won’t. Eventually. In reality, you can sense the desperation at the moment.
Keevins wonders about Ibrox eccentricities as they catch up on Bazza, while Celtic have the chance to go 16 clear in Perth

2 weeks ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Well, it’s all becoming rather predictable over Ibrox way, isn’t it? Last week, I wrote a couple of articles in relation to this weekend’s fixtures. I stated that although it was a meeting of two rookie managers at Ibrox yesterday, I thought that David Gray would have Barry Ferguson’s number. I echoed those sentiments on the Trinity Tims podcast, and I’ve been proven right.
The Record begins it's attempt to write off Adam Idah's Celtic career before it has even really begun

2 weeks ago | readceltic.com | Eric Knott

Adam Idah’s price tag was always going to be a noose around his neck. The fact that Celtic paid £9 million for the big Irish striker has been a continuous bullet in the gun of the SMSM. I could go into the story of why Celtic ended up paying the amount of money they did for him. But I’ve been over the course many times on that since last summer. I’m not going to cover it again today.
