Might be a silly question but does anyone think Celtic lack of investment, appreciation it's 10 days only into transfer month, is due to the owners selling the club? Haven't seen anything just haven't heard this ever being mentioned but surely that relationship is gone.

12 Jan 2026 20:44:31
I really don't think that much on them at all.

12 Jan 2026 21:49:55
Heard a story about acmonth or so ago that a buy out by some Saudi consortium was in the making. Hopefully it's only wishful thinking.

12 Jan 2026 22:52:13
Reds pal John, it would need to be a rich Saudi mob, they've more shares than supporters world wide,

13 Jan 2026 08:08:06
It doesn't look like they're going to spend much this window.

13 Jan 2026 08:44:47
I think like us they will have deals being discussed. They are looking for strikers and left wingers it seems. They have also recalled Walsh from Motherwell as CB cover but MON ha also said he could go back this month which could say they are looking for a CB as well on top of their RB loan.

13 Jan 2026 12:01:08
Their main stand has to be demolished and rebuilt.

13 Jan 2026 13:23:51
Watp I think the idea of rebuilding their main stand is more like us to improve facilities and increase capacity rather than safety or similar. they just spent money this summer on improving 15 corporate boxes in that stand so that doesn't sound like a club who are going to embark on that soon.


anyway I think like other clubs they would finance that long-term so as to have as little effect on the pitch as possible. biggest issue for them would be loss of revenue whilst it was being rebuilt.

13 Jan 2026 15:03:01
Just how much money will they give to a manager who is only their til end of May? That's one advantage we have over them this season, our manager is identifying the players he wants.

13 Jan 2026 16:23:35
Cuillin I think our manager is identifying the positions he feels need filled and having a say in which ones he would prefer when the list is provided. I think we want to get to the stage where the club play a style of football which transfers across any manager or at least the manager has to get a tune out of what he has. we are short in some areas for that to happen yet.

I think Celtic have always liked to play the same attacking style so Mon could easily say which positions they are needing filled. I don't know much but from the press I think I could do that 😉. so their recruitment team would do what ours have done to provide options for the team. it might be a little discomfort for them but won't stop them recruiting. next manager will have to work with squad they have same as ours would.

13 Jan 2026 17:53:16
Angus, you could be right and I'm sure they have targets identified, just think as it's short term appointment he won't have carte blanche to sign anyone he wants.

Reckon they get some expensive loan deals in.

13 Jan 2026 20:38:36
Their main stand would last longer than the rest of their stadium, if any stadium needs money spent on it it's the piggery.

13 Jan 2026 22:42:30
Cuillin possibly but like us I am not sure that the manager has total say. even then MON is well enough respected there and known for them to take his opinion seriously. I just don't think that would be the reason for them to not sign.

they always seem to be slow off the mark in any transfer window and then miss out as they down give enough time. hope for the same this one.

14 Jan 2026 13:41:32
Maybe the balance of power is shifting again. About time.

11 Jan 2026 18:38:41
Well done lads👏👏.

11 Jan 2026 17:29:45
How was that goal disallowed? I am shocked that was chalked off. Won the ball cleanly.

11 Jan 2026 18:29:28
arm across the Gks arm. not saying I agree with it but argument would be he stopped the keeper catching it. poor soft goalkeeping was what it really was.

11 Jan 2026 19:10:08
Gers1980, yup, then they wonder / moan when we complain about such issues, maybe we should only sign players that stand no taller than 5 feet eh.

11 Jan 2026 19:37:46
Clear goal. The decision was a disgrace. Keeper came running off his line and made a mess of it. Not like he was standing still and was impeded.

11 Jan 2026 20:11:50
I think what is very telling is that the only player to claim was the keeper. None of his team mates reacted wanting a foul.

11 Jan 2026 21:41:36
Jfm, aye, because the Aberdeen defence knew there keeper fecked up big time, perfectly good goal.

12 Jan 2026 09:02:05
Poor decision, to all the moaners regarding the pen just look at Shinnies reaction, if he doesn't moan then you know it's a pen.

12 Jan 2026 09:32:59
That disallowed goal did me out of a 500 pound bet builder.

12 Jan 2026 13:13:35
You have Fernandez scoring Cletus? I did, bet builder was 22/1.

12 Jan 2026 18:22:40
read Keith hakkets ex fifa ref says Fernandez goal was rightfully disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper and the penalty was a joke as there was no evidence of contact and Gassama exaggerated his fall nearer to simulation and the decision was a wrong one make of that what you will i know my stance on hakket as aref but it would not be shown on here.

12 Jan 2026 20:51:05
Ex fifa ref that was wearing green and white 😂 was definitely a pen the goal I can see both sides.

12 Jan 2026 22:16:32
there was knee to knee contact so penalty given and VAR won't intervene in these cases where referee sees it. In England they also have the criterion that it is sufficient contact for the player to go down and one element of that is how dramatically he falls to ground.

Shinnie knows he made contact but if you see straight after he is gesticulating for Gassama to get up so he thought, I suspect, that he went down easily. thankfully that isn't an issue up here yet. same with any tackle across the field which I think is a good thing.

11 Jan 2026 17:17:28
He couldn't chop that goal off quick enough and that's the real deal.

11 Jan 2026 18:31:04
what he had to have it pointed out to him by VAR. the ref gave the goal initially. took a 2 minute or so VAR check. how is that quick?
I didn't think it was a foul but can see why it was given. too much protection for GKs.

11 Jan 2026 19:28:59
Was a very quick look Angus, Fernandes didn't even know the keeper was there as he had his eyes completely on the ball. I wonder if VAR only showed him one angle.
If we are going to give a free kick for that we'd be better just chucking the game. Its a terrible decision.

11 Jan 2026 19:31:24
Should have said Angus whe Aberdeen got3 corners in a row at the first corner the Aberdeen player is all over Butland and no free kick given.

11 Jan 2026 20:31:14
JFM I agree. I thought it was a goal and shouting at the screen but Fernadez arm goes against the keeper's arms. so when I saw that VAR was looking at it I just knew it would be chopped off. as soon as the ref sees that he is always going to give a free kick.


It was just poor goalkeeping and he got away with one. thankfully it didn't cost us.
It always annoys me when a team has a player around the keeper, backing in and obstructing him. we do it as well but should be an offence.

11 Jan 2026 21:39:18
Poor goalkeeping but worse refereeing. VAR couldn't even make the decision sent Ref to the monitor.

11 Jan 2026 22:08:56
VAR can't make the decision as it wasn't a fact but one of interpretation, i. e. did Fernandez arm impede the keeper as he tried to make contact with the ball. only the referee can make that decision.

12 Jan 2026 07:24:42
Think the GK got away with one. Goal should have stood imo. I'd debate there is too much protection for GK's though or maybe it's only certain. GK's as Butland wasn't protected when he was blatantly kicked in the head.

12 Jan 2026 08:23:14
Azul I agree and was screaming at screen. however there was. part of me who was worried before ref got involved due to that over protection. thought to myself is he allowed to jump with keeper like that.

the main issue is that we as fans don't know the rules or the interpretation of them anyway so go with what our opinion is.

Cant believe Trusty wasn't sent off either but the referee applied a correct interpretation of the rules so my opinion doesn't (and never in these cases) count.

13 Jan 2026 06:27:46
Some good points Angus.

11 Jan 2026 16:07:59
What a save by Gordon to deny Dundee at the death credit Hearts who had to dig deep with 10 men anyone who thinks they'll just drop away imo will be proven wrong now over to Rangers.

11 Jan 2026 17:57:22
I'm happy enough with Hearts staying in touch,

I wouldn't mind them still being up there when they are playing Celtic again.

11 Jan 2026 14:24:14
Celtic now looking at Bowie according to the Herald. Tbh if Hibs want 6m that seems a lot.

11 Jan 2026 18:45:03
They can have him for thst much.

11 Jan 2026 21:40:31
Bowie is not a 6 million striker.

11 Jan 2026 11:39:31
Only Celtic are allowed to tackle like that and not see red.

The game here is bent! Totally bent and Celtic benefit at every stage.

Scottish football is a backwater.

11 Jan 2026 13:02:07
The game was bent here in the 00's👍.

11 Jan 2026 16:15:55
Please explain, give us your usual mince.

11 Jan 2026 16:32:45
Referees are scared of getting there windows tanned in.

11 Jan 2026 19:12:49
T3d 77, it's either the windaes of its there back door.

10 Jan 2026 19:39:03
David watson was not in the Kilmarnock squad today could this be a sign that he is on a move this month hopefully to us.

10 Jan 2026 21:09:31
He was suspended today.

10 Jan 2026 19:27:21
Just seen the highlight of the Celtic rb's tackle today, it's very safe to say Celtic won't be getting any reds this season, been a long time since it happened anyway, unless playing in Europe.

10 Jan 2026 21:38:48
Didn't see it.
I saw another poster saying they should have been down to 10.

11 Jan 2026 08:43:01
They moan about Refs and Pens, but when was the last time they've received a domestic Red card🤔.

11 Jan 2026 09:23:48
Shocking he wasn't sent off Mark.

11 Jan 2026 12:24:50
Thought yellow was the correct call.

11 Jan 2026 12:42:26
Yellow, correct call TJBB? you walking for that 20 years ago mate, easily a red card in today's football, guaranteed this gets flags up a as red later in the week.

12 Jan 2026 19:46:07
Saw it.
Red all day long.
