David Low excellent again talking to The Celtic Exchange Podcast:
"DAVID LOW knows a thing or two about football club takeovers and is best remembered among Celtic fans for his time as Fergus McCann's right hand man during the US based businessman's acquisition of Celtic in 1994." |
'Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "It has just been time with Yang. His girlfriend is here at the moment. I said to the guys, let's see if we can keep her here and get that visa sorted. Everyone knows he's in a really good mood and has been for a while. "He scored his two goals and the one that was disallowed, but his pass for Daizen's goal, to see it and then to execute it, wow, what a pass. He's such a great kid. He works so hard every single day. He doesn't moan, he doesn't groan. He's a tough boy, he's physical. "It hasn't always come off for him because he's adapting to the intensity and the pressure. But now you're starting to see a young guy evolve as a football player and as a person, and I'm so, so happy for him." '

meanwhile, i read kyogo has injured his shoulder again
immediately after kyogo left, idah had a goal surge, now he appears to be fading again, but numerous others are getting on the score sheet, so its ok for now |
 'It's not just Celtic fans who can't enough of Daizen Maeda - the Bayern Munich squad think highly of him, too. The in-form forward will be in the running for plenty of awards come the end of the season having already scored 25 goals. One of those came in the first leg of the Champions League play-off against German giants Bayern, while he was instrumental in setting up Celtic's goal in the second leg of the agonising last-gasp defeat. "After we played Bayern I was talking to Eric Dier, just having a general chat about the two games and stuff like that," Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers recalled. "He said that after the first leg, all the Bayern players were talking about Daizen and how much he runs and the kind of energy he puts into a game. It is incredible. "He said they got the running stats up in their changing room and everyone was just talking about how much high-speed distance he'd done and stuff like that. "Physically, in terms of his running power and capacity, I don't know if anyone in the [Celtic] squad could get to that level to be honest." Maeda, who joined Celtic from Yokohama F Marinos in 2022, keeps a low profile and rarely gives interviews to Scottish media but Carter-Vickers offered an insight. "Obviously his English has improved since he's been here," he said. "I don't know if he just decides not to talk or what, but he's a funny guy actually, he's quietly funny. "He's a little bit of a prankster. Just little things, like I say, he doesn't necessarily talk too much, but his mannerisms and stuff like that, he definitely likes a little laugh' |
'That's right. No away team has scored in the league at Celtic Park, apart from Aberdeen.' |

'Sky Sports are currently reporting that Crystal Palace winger Jeffrey Schlupp could join Celtic tonight. The 32-year-old is out of contract with the Eagles in the summer and the two clubs are reportedly negotiating how much of Schlupp's wage the Scottish Premiership side will cover. The former Ghana international has not started a Premier League match all season but has made 12 appearances from the bench.'

no goals, no assists |
target clubs have celtic over a barrel for a new striker having let kyogo go. |
Would Kyogo have held on to that that long ball from Hatate that led to the winner v Young Boys? I think Kyogo would have been brushed off the ball. Idah is the man. |
Adam Idah. lol. |
So far so good. 5 minutes gone and we are only 2-0 down. Amazing effort to hold out for 3 minutes before finally caving in. |
He's not in the eufa squad so can't be picked |
is johnny kenny cup-tied for playing with shamrock in the uefa conference?
it seems to be the only logical reason for the 2nd week of 2 goalies on the bench and his absence from the team sheet |
I would rest Johnston as well as he's booking away from missing next match, play Ralston, it's job already done. |
villa game - no kyogo, no maeda, no ccv - this could go pear shaped very quickly |
'In a farewell message released by Celtic, Kyogo said: "Over the past three-and-a-half years, I have been truly grateful for your wonderful support and cheering From the moment I joined until my final day, I've been happy every step of the way.
"Being able to enjoy so many wonderful moments and achievements with all of you made me feel like the happiest player in the world countless times. I believe these invaluable experiences were only possible because I came to Celtic.
"Even as the time goes on, I am deeply moved and encouraged by the many warm messages and kind words I continue to receive, and I cannot thank you enough. I move forward but I will keep all of you in my heart and continue on my journey.
"Lastly, I am very sorry that I couldn't say goodbye to you all, but I will give my best in my new chapter. I am confident that my wonderful Celtic team-mates, along with the manager and his backroom team will continue to create new and exciting moments for the rest of the season.
"Please continue to show your amazing support for Celtic, just as you always have. Hail hail." ' |
every team in the league is going to be buoyed by the departure of kyogo |
