July 1975 was a time to shake up the Celtic squad with the demise of the Lions and transition to the Quality Street kids but not all was seamless. As every great side in history has indicated, you don’t replace like for like and get the same results. It was the Sly old fox Sean Fallon who held the reigns of the Parkhead hot seat as Big Jock recovered from his near death car accident. McNeill, Jimmy Johnstone and Jim Brogan had also parted ways with the club. There certainly was some rejigging required.
Sean looked toward Denmark and to a strapping giant of a man in the shape of Icelandic footballer Johannes Edvaldsson. The big man was plying his trade with Holbaek after a brief spell with Metz in France and good enough to be picked for the Iceland national team. At 25 years old he came on a trial basis to see if he could settle to life in Glasgow and British football and was seen as a versatile player who could fill a few positions. On a sunny August afternoon Johannes would make...

The impact of Celtic in the local Scottish economy has been calculated by the prestigious Fraser of Allander Institute, and the results are astonishing!!!
The club and it's supporters contribute an astonishing £165m annually to the economy, which is the equivalent of 2,820 full time jobs, and according to the authors of the report, eclipses the income generated by golf tourism or even the impact from the Commonwealth Games.
Amongst the highlights of the report is a note that the club is ranked as the 25th strongest brand in world football. When you consider the restrictions on broadcast reach of the SPFL, in comparison to other bigger leagues, then that statistic is truly remarkable.
The full report can be read on the link to the club website below, but Congratulations to everyone involved with the club, players, staff and fans for making such a positive income to the cultural and economic benefit of this country....

Celtic were ecstatic to announce yesterday that midfielder Ryan Christie happily put pen to paper on a three year extension to prolong his stay at the club.
The Celtic-daft 23 year old from Inverness - in his last year of his current contract with the Hoops - couldn't hold back the joy when describing his extension, which was rumoured to have been in the pipeline for the last week:
“I’m delighted,” he said. “Ever since I started to play a bit more in the team, I’ve been happy to make an impact. Celtic is the club I want to continue playing for. It’s such a big club in Scottish football and it’s a delight for me to sign and keep playing for Celtic.
