FORTUNE ALREADY FAVOURING THE BHOYS
Celtic’s major summer signing, striker Marc-Antoine Fortuné, is still to break his duck in front of goal, but already the fruits of his labour are clear for all to see. Saturday lunchtime’s encounter against a poor Aberdeen outfit saw the Bhoys rack up a 3-0 lead before half time, and while Fortuné did not appear on the score sheet, his all-round performance will have excited the Celtic faithful.
Fortune has oft been on the receiving end of criticism for his failure to convert chances. Nonetheless, he has been brought to Celtic Park for a variety of reasons; most notably to involve a Celtic midfield that has promised so much, but delivered relatively little...
Mowbray's Maestro - the Mighty McGeady
Celtic kicked off their SPL campaign with an emphatic 3-1 victory against Aberdeen today. A goal from Australian International Scott McDonald and a deadly double from wing wizard Aiden McGeady put the Bhoys in a commanding 3-0 lead at half time, but it could easily have been more - McGeady stating at full time that his team mates were disappointed not to be four or five up in the first period.
McGeady's performance was - at times - scintillating. New manager Tony Mowbray has instilled a new confidence in many first teamers; Italian Massimo Donati the greatest benefactor thus far. Nonetheless, McGeady was today's stand out performer. While his - and Celtic's - first was a...
Celtic go back to the future
It may be hard to get the forthcoming Champions League qualifying clash with Arsenal out of the mind, but that is something that Celtic must do if they are to hit the ground running at Aberdeen this weekend, in what will be Tony Mowbray's first SPL game as the Hoops boss.
Tony Mowbray - Looking for winning SPL start
Saturday's game at Pittodrie sees the Hoops come up against a side managed by Mark McGhee, who incidentally was one of the many names linked with the vacant job at Celtic Park following Gordon Strachan's departure at the end of May.
McGhee built up a good reputation at former club Motherwell, taking them to third place in 2008, and there is no doubt that he will be looking for the same from his new charges, although things couldn't have got off to a worse start, the Dons being dumped out of the Europa League...

CELTIC’S LINK TO MAKELELE
Celtic striker Georgios Samaras today paid new Bhoy Landry N’Guemo the highest of compliments. When asked about the combative midfielder, who has impressed greatly since his arrival, Samaras stated:
“I have started calling him Makelele. In the games against Dynamo he was fabulous. He keeps the ball well and is so strong, even though he is only small. He is a very good player, and now we have a strong midfield with Massimo Donati, Landry, Marc Crosas and Scott Brown.”
N'Guemo - has made a great impression...
Celtic’s youths better than Milan and Madrid
Celtic’s talented youngsters have – for the very first time in the club’s history – reached the final of the illustrious Villarreal International Youth Tournament, where they will face English giants Liverpool.
Their place in the final was confirmed yesterday, following on from a morale-boosting defeat of the Japanese national team – no mean feat, when taking into consideration the expansion of the game in the Far East in recent years.
Nonetheless, it is the two victories against their Italian and Spanish counterparts which should...
