Yesterday’s interview with Odsonne Edouard seems to have killed a lot of the Celtic transfer stories today, after Eddy made it clear that he plans to be at Celtic Park next season.
That doesn’t mean that some names won’t keep popping up. Shon Weissman was largely unknown until a few weeks ago, but the prolific Israeli striker continues to be linked with Celtic.
Despite that, his club President has tried to play that down by insisting his player only wants to play in one of two countries, and Scotland isn’t one of them.
John Barnes has really lodged himself into the public eye again in recent weeks, largely due to him managing to get some kind of pornographic material into a lot of his media work.
Celtic seems to be his latest target after insisting he was sacked because of the colour of his skin, and he’s continuing to embarrass himself with further comments today.
It’s very important to point out that any racial claims do need to be taken seriously, but it would be seriously naive to suggest he was sacked for anything other than a horrific performance as manager.
Pre-season friendlies will soon become relevant and it’s vital that Celtic get some games against good opposition under their belt, so a proposed friendly tournament in France could be an interesting one to watch.
Finally we’ve all become accustomed to Celtic sitting top of the table for years now, but someone has worked out the all-time standings for the Scottish top flight, and it’s no surprise to see who’s sitting top of that one either.
