What have you made of Kyogo since leaving Celtic? 🤔🍀
The Japan star won't be returning to Parkhead, as he leaves Birmingham for the MLS...✈️
peter.kanesr7d ago
Chucked it at celtic in his last six months when he had eyes on the big bucks, a la french Eddie ,sadly i think Maeda will end up in the same boat !
jimmy1888.cfc7d ago
The grass isn't always greener on the other side look at kuhn o'reilly french eddy dembele jota Tierney probably only successful 1s was the 3 or 4 we sold to Southampton and larsson
fenian.pinguin63d ago
Who gives a rats arse left Celtic and fell flat on his arse.

Should Gustaf Lagerbielke have been given more of a chance at Celtic?
Now playing for Sweden at the World Cup...🌎
jas116074d ago
Yes, Rodgers was not the best at keeping decent players if he hadn't spotted them.
martin.crawford110d ago
He definitely could've played more, but I really wasn't that impressed by him at the time. Not sure we were the right move for him. Rodgers should've let him go to Lecce in the Jan
dantowen81951111d ago
I suspect so, yeah. It’s not like the defenders Celtic had at the time have really kicked on since Gustaf left

Emilio Izaguirre: overrated or underrated?
jas116074d ago
Neither, he was a better than decent LB, the wee guy rarely let us down.

Would Celtic's style be better if Greg Taylor was still at the club?
Share your thoughts, Celtic fans...
martin.crawford162d ago
Absolutely, 100%. You can see Tierney getting the ball in areas where Taylor used to operate — it doesn't suit him. It's been a rough transition.
johnmc67166d ago
No - the midfield and forward line have significantly regressed and greg needed them to be on their game to give him space, ultimately. And Greg was not a great defender - Tierney and Saracchi are far better on that front.
taylorc11166d ago
Tierney POTY, no a snowballs chance in hell. He is one of the biggest disappointments this season. Taylor any day

Where does Joe Hart rank in the list of Celtic goalkeepers?
roncophotography158d ago
He'd be up there with Ronnie Simpson and Fraser Forster.
stephenhardie1970168d ago
Jo Hart is up there with atur boruc

Name one Celtic player that the club should have never sold
johntaggart1201174d ago
No a player Martin O,Neil If we had keep Martin we would never be in this mess we would be going fo the treble

daniel.owen182d ago
I'd maybe say Hyeon-Gyu Oh. I can understand why he left but when you think Kyogo was sold soon after and we ended up with Idah, I think Hyeon could have had a big role to play

callum_boyle185d ago
I think Jota that first time around. Was clearly never going to work elsewhere

Were Celtic right to let Scott Bain leave in the summer?
Bain could be heading to the World Cup with Scotland
jo797522201d ago
Man wanted to go he said he wanted his child see him playing he has done well money wise but he didnt show or put pressure on first team pick 】

You have £100,000-a-week you could give to one Celtic player, past or present. Who is getting it?
Let us know why you picked them below
jimmy1888.cfc7d ago
Lubo
roncophotography164d ago
Billy McNeill.In the early 60's he was earning less than £20 a week.
pauldshapero164d ago
Bobby Lennox aka buzzbomb. Man was a rocket!!!

How many goals would a prime Gary Hooper score in this current Celtic side?
roncophotography164d ago
We don't have the same quality in midfield as we had in Hooper's day,so I doubt he'd maybe get as many chances.
tonymac44172d ago
About 10 and he would be the top scorer. No service !
scorc3529219d ago
Well judging by the chances created he’d have 15 in the games against hearts Dundee Utd and r*ngers in December and January so I’d say 35 for this season.

Nobody comes close to Virgil van Dijk in the 21st century...
If you think we're wrong, tell us why 😮
tonymac44172d ago
Without doubt big Virgil, nobody even close.

scorc3529219d ago
No arguments here. Him and denayer were a cracking CB partnership.

Choose one former Celtic player that you would pick to have in the side right now 🙌
Let us know down below 🤔
jimmy1888.cfc7d ago
Van dijk all day long he's calm organised positionally strong and got a finish like a striker remember the free kicks aswel
tonymac44172d ago
Virgil to steady the defence.
roughrider007200d ago
big virg

Where does Gary Caldwell rank in the list of centre-backs Celtic have had since 2000?
scorc3529219d ago
Top 5. Could tackle, could head it, could pass it. Very underrated at the time.
Hyeon-gyu Oh continues his storming start at Besiktas... he looks a different player!

Who is a loan player you fell ln love with while they were at Celtic?
nodrog.dleachim1950175d ago
Jason Denayer
rvybw9z4yf202d ago
This would be an awful decision, B Mc Neill would cost about £70 per wk maximum . H L about £50k max So does that mean u would be fraudulently fiddling Celtic out of nearly half the money for yourself
jmcg85233d ago
Bellamy and, to a lesser extent, Paddy Roberts

Was Shin Yamada unfairly treated at Celtic?

Who is your favourite ever Celtic loan signing?
lynnfin123235d ago
Has to be Cadete
Was Hyeongyu Oh given a fair chance at Celtic?
edwarddelaney4985d ago
Kyogo kept him out
liamwinning8885d ago
Defo not..🇮🇪

Which Celtic player was the better out of the two?
Who gets your vote? Cadete or Di Canio? Comment why you picked your choice
roncophotography164d ago
Can't make a comparison.Very different players.One a lethal finisher and the other a magician with the ball at his feet. The West Ham fans voted Di Canio they're greatest ever player in front of Bobby Moore for what it's worth.🤔
martingrehan24236d ago
Di Canio absolute genius!
pat.clark009238d ago
Superb striker would’ve scored 50 if DiCanio hadn’t been so selfish

Which Celtic player had the biggest impact despite spending one season at the club?
celtsmadginja238d ago

Joey Barton. Lol

Was Leigh Griffiths underappreciated at Celtic?
jmcg85233d ago
Yes
celticfc88233d ago
Yes,he was a great wee striker, as good as Greaves.
brian61738238d ago
Yes
Were Celtic right to let go of Mikey Johnston?
johnprior999123d ago
I was surprised he didn’t make it a Celtic… got a fair chance but unfortunately he didn’t really take them…🍀
pauljaconelli84123d ago
Waste of time and efford
rvybw9z4yf174d ago
I don’t think they should . He suffered a lot of injuries. At Celtic he didn’t seem to have proper coaching & one to won training by a coach interested in improving him
Matt O'Riley returns to Brighton.

100%. But it's wishful thinking
Hyeon-gyu Oh: overrated or underrated?
ianmcwhinnie7196d ago
Yang should be long gone he was the hero with the Motherwell game everybody including myself talking going to sell him then one of our best players they all failed yesterday thinking we just had to turn up then bang if you go into games especially this time of the season just having to turn up now it's hope results go our way and don't make the same mistake
mikeycolgan196d ago
Underrated like so many who weren't one of BR's favourites.
fenian.pinguin237d ago

Great player couldn't understand why we let him go
Which former Celtic player are you picking to come back?
busterbrady6134d ago
Jimmy Johnston
daniel.owen165d ago
Talking of recent departures, I'd love a 2026 version of Frimpong back
tommyc7168d ago
Mr Henrik Larrson ASAP
Sum up Nicolas Kuhn's time at Celtic...
o.danny1212238d ago
Yes. But I think he always saw us as a stepping-stone.
Mark Viduka's time at Celtic was...
brian61738238d ago
Brilliant player
smuddger1952251d ago
Ha ha! If only we coud turn back the clock! Smashing player
luckytroll82255d ago
Viduka was brilliant at Celtic I was a fan of his but he was also a disappointment at the same time constantly in the news about wanting to leave for a "better" team. He'd signed for Celtic and disappeared in his first week wanting to go at the very start. Never have I seen such an uncommitted player in my life. Yet he was absolutely fantastic for Celtic

Hayato Inamura's Celtic signing: What on earth happened?
gordoh010860250d ago
Inamura was bought on the back of the success of other signings from Japan in the hope of buying cheap and selling big! However for whatever reason he wasn’t afforded the time to settle in and become acclimatised to the Scottish game.
