Selling Ajer is surely unthinkable - he is the one shining light in our defence right now, a stalwart and a future captain. We must keep hold of him at all costs!

Having watched Celtic since 1962, I would apply a condition that the player must have spent at least 5 years with us. No one-season blow-ins like Di Canio, Cadete, etc. My top five: 1. Kenny Dalglish - peerless. 2. Henrik Larsson - not far short of KD! 3. Bobby Murdoch - made the Lions tick 4...

My dad wasn’t much of a football fan, but my mum and uncles were all Celtic daft. One of my uncles, a former miner, was bedridden with a stroke in his latter years, and I used to love sitting with him and listening to his stories of Tully, McPhail, Evans & co. One of his favourites was the time...

This is a sickener. It is the timing that hurts us - surely he and Leicester could have agreed that he starts with them in the summer, but to leave us with a few games still to be won before the league is secured stinks. And for Leicester?? It’s not as if it’s a once only offer from Man United...

Bang on. It would be madness to hold on to Boyata when he clearly wants to leave. Punt him for whatever we can get, and sign McKenna - good young Scottish defender who knows what Celtic is all about, and would shore up our marshmallow defence. I for one would much rather have McKenna in the team...

Not happy with this six month loan, no option to buy nonsense. If Burke is a revelation, WBA will whisk him back south at the end of the season, and we’re left stranded. The only way we can win is if he’s rubbish, and we can be grateful we’re not landed with another dud. Surely Lawwell could...

I don’t often get steamed up about perceived referee bias (having lived through the Bobby Davidson/JRP Gordon years) but this “no case to answer” decision because “referee Beaton witnessed all three incidents” is outrageous. Celtic need to fight this as far as they can, otherwise little two-bit...

IanDowie beat me to it... Murdoch, Dalglish, and Larsson. Probably the best three players I have seen in my 55 years watching Celtic, with Jinky and Bobby Lennox close behind.

I strongly disagree with the current habit of making football teams wear jerseys with poppy emblems at this time of the year. Wearing a poppy or not should be entirely optional for the individual player; as a result of enforced poppy-wearing on jerseys, as a principled objector James McClean...

My memorable game is very similar to Chubbstar’s. It was the first OF league game of 72-73 season, and it was played at Hampden in early September with a 12 noon kick-off time, supposedly to combat drunkenness at the game. Ha ha, some hopes! The stand at Celtic Park was being repaired, hence the...

I’ve nearly been accepted as a local! ? Most of the people in my village are incomers, but the native dons fans are generally fine guys who just love their football and have a healthy dislike of the huns! And there are a few native Aberdonians here who are rock-solid Celtic men.
