After a frustrating week of Internationals, with Celtic manager Tony Mowbray running an anxious eye over the 13 Celtic players on World Cup duty, the Bhoys return to domestic action this weekend.

Saturday’s encounter at Celtic Park against a revitalised Dundee United outfit will undoubtedly prove a stern test. Arabs manager Craig Levein has built a first team strong in belief, despite injuries to strikers Francisco Sandaza and Jon Daly, and with defensive stalwart Lee Wilkie in absentia for much of the season thus far.

Celtic to Sign Dragon in January


Celtic have announced that they will sign the South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yong from F.C. Seoul, for a reported fee of £2.1 million.




The 20 year old Ki, known as one half of the “Double Dragon” – a term affectionately used by the fans of Seoul to describe himself and Lee Chung-Young, has made 54 appearances for the club and made a number of appearances at all levels for the South Korean national side.

Ki has attracted interest from English superpower Manchester United following his performances at the 2007 FIFA U-21 World Cup, and recently developed interest from the likes of PSV Eindhoven and Porto.

Ahead of tomorrow’s crucial encounter against Arsenal, reports today are indicating that the Bhoys have a new transfer target in their sights – highly rated South Korean International Ki Sung-yong.

Yong – capped 14 times, despite his young age of 20 – is widely renowned as one of Asia’s top prospects. While his league side are far from keen to sell at this moment in time – general manager Kang Myong-won openly declaring “this is not a good time for us to sell,” it is clear that a move to the SPL giants may prove too tempting for such a talented young man.

It is understood that officials from Celtic will meet with Ki’s agents in the next 24 hours in London, to discuss a possible...

Saturday 22nd August 2009
Celtic 5 – 2 St Johnstone
(Attendance 58,500)


Celtic entertained Scottish First Division champions St Johnstone on Saturday, getting back to winning ways after their midweek humbling by Arsenal. But it was the Perth outfit who started more brightly, alluding to the stereotype of newcomers to the Division - full of the energy and vigour of a side that knows that the road to survival will be long and tough.

The resting of Landry N’Guemo saw the return of the 4-4-2 after Celtic's European endeavour, with Georgios Samaras also finding himself on the bench....
