    Missed ntcham. Kouassi and Bain look like good signings as well IMO. Only signings I consider to be duds are ones who were intended to play in the first 11 and failed, like Gamboa, DDV, Musonda(loan), and Compper(so far).

    Manchester United fans actually claim to singing it at the same time Liverpool did.

    Ntcham and Kouassi were absolutely phenomenal in the Zenit and Hearts games. That formation against Hearts at home was under-utilised this season

    As much as he's a sound wee guy and loves Celtic, wee Jay is involved far too much in our social media and events. Others should also get the opportunity.

    It was.

    But I have to agree with the point. I hate the national anthem being sung in English.

    It's great that Wee Jay and his da have had some great experiences at the club and I wish them well. But his da doesn't half post some amount of cringey * on social media.

    Well the vast majority of people who attend Celtic matches aren't going to be able to speak Gaeilge, so it's no surprise at Celtic Park.

    Christ, this thread could start a war.

    I don't have the love for Rogic most seem too. Don't get me wrong I'm not * stupid and can see there's a player there but I want more from him. I want him to not wait for the ball and going looking for it and make things happen.

    I loved Lennon the player, was one of my favourites, wasn't thrlled with him as manager but he equipped himself very well in the lge & Europe. His domestic cup return was disgraceful (2/9 I think) and I would not like him to be our manager again.

    We should never join a Euro league and leave Scotland. I'm a firm believer in the domestic league set up in Europe as it is.

    The board and Strachan should be ashamed of how they treated Bobo in the last 2-3 years of his contract. The big man deserved better. I rememer him being frozen out yet called upon whenever there was a defender shortage. One such time he came back v them and put in a motm performance, then was dropped shortly after when everyone was fit. Disgraceful.

    Just on ynwa, it's no ones song. It started as a simple football chant that every set of supporters sang. I've seen replays of 60's and 70's football on sky and bt and can clearly hear London teams amongst others clearly singing it.

    I'm not criticising their fluency in Irish, I'm not fluent myself. I just don't like the national anthem being sung in English.

    It’s not being sung as a national anthem.

    I agree that the ‘* bless the Pope’ add-on should be left out.

    The last 2--3 years of his contract he was on 30k plus a week. I'm sure he was fine :56:

    I'm not sure if people over here know the words in English but what I do know is that if you're standing in the Aviva when Ireland are playing I'm sure the majority of people (or at least a very large section of regular match goers) don't know the words in Irish either. That annoys me too. But ah well.

    I think that's one of the main reasons he didn't feature. The club were downsizing and didn't want to pay his appearance fees.

    I'm fairly certain it was probably 40k+. A move to Sunderland fell through early in Strachan reign as they couldn't match his wage.

    Still think he was worth it.

    Would love to see more Scotland flags at Celtic games. although im proud of our Irish heritage, couldnt give a monkeys about ireland or Irish history. The tiny minority into all the IRA *. Confuse the life out of me.

    At that stage of his career definitely not mate. Sorry. Have to disagree.
