Be honest, did you think Leicester Square was their home pitch?

Classless, as always. Almost as bad as the Huns. No wonder so many of their fans act like scumbags.

Why? Did they give us a guard of honor? Their mob just smashed up Glasgow a fortnight ago. Did the memorial benches have a guard of honor? No, they destroyed them.  Fuck them !!!!

Oh dear. Have the innocent angels in the Celtic support been upset by a bad man again?

Usual ITK posters all saying pretty much the same on Celtic sites ie there's a process, we've spoken to 5 candidates, new DOF will sign off on any appointment. Three of the five I believe to be Howe👍, Maresca👍 & Keane 😳. Nae idea who the other two might be.

Id be abit concerned if I was a Celtic fan right now. 

Its clear that a new manager wont be coming in until the summer, along with the new chief exc. You only have to look at Man Utd to see the pitfalls of changing both positions at the same time. Lawell is a huge figure at Celtic (and Scottish football). He will be a big loss and will take the new guy time to get up to speed.

A new manager will have very little time before euro qualifiers to get settled and get transfers in.

New DOF is also needed and will have the same issue.

New players will have zero time to get up to speed before the season starts.

And although he wasnt the on field player of old, the loss of Scott Brown could be massive. You could see the driving force that he was. Especially in games when Celtic werent at their best. Without him in the team Celtic can play some very good football but when games were tight or they were losing, nobody seemed to be able to drive the team on. Compare capt Brown and Capt McGreggor in this regard.

And finally there will likely be a big chunk of the 1st team leaving. Celtic realistically need a new GK, LB, RB, 2 CBs, 2 CM and 2 CF.

It's called transition, a big one granted. We'll see how smoothly it's been handled soon enough.

Yeah. There are just alot of moving parts.

Ideally you dont want to be making even half the changes at a football club at the same time.

The list of players leaving or potentially leaving is crazy. Celtic will need atleast 10 players in the summer and most of them will have to be first team ready, not squad players.

Loans going back - Duffy, Laxalt, Elyounoussi and Kenny

Players on 12 months and probably not resigning and will be sold - Édouard, Christie, Ntcham and Ayer

Leaving - Brown

Long term injury - Julien

That is a lot of quality players and starters for Celtic. If they don't get their recruitment spot on this summer, it could be a very tough season for them. Outside of Turnbull, McGregor and Forrest (Julien is out for 9 months so didn't include), I don't think much is left that is guaranteed starter quality. Rogic, Taylor, etc are all decent players but in an ideal season you'd be wanting upgrades on them.
