as celtic prepare to take on dortmund [last season finalists], its worth recapping on the ange squad that chose to find bigger plays elsewhere, from the back,

[excluded: hart, mooy, rogic, turnball; they retired, saw out long service, or fell down the pecking order] |
should celtic and rangers be reduced to one home tie per side in each of fa cup and league cup? [maybe, max 2 home tie for the clubs finishing at 3 and 4, the prev season?]
for example, celtic are drawn at home in the last 16 of the league cup - they are given the option of accepting it as per draw or they decline it and redraw as the away team - they would decline in the hope of getting a home tie in later round against stronger side, but that home draw tie would not be guaranteed [ie, the q-f, as the semis are at hampden]

'Mooy, who joined Celtic in the summer from Chinese side Shanghai Port, also has the second-highest number of assists among the Scottish Premiership's central midfielders, with six, and has created 26 chances in total for his team-mates. Matt O'Riley, David Turnbull and new signing Tomoki Iwata are struggling for game time, such has been the form of Mooy alongside captain Callum McGregor and Japan player Reo Hatate in midfield.'

'Away fans will continue to be barred from derbies between Celtic and Rangers despite an agreement reached in March for their reintroduction this season. Rangers have issued a statement saying they were informed on Wednesday "that Celtic will make no allocation for away fans for the September Old Firm game". '

'Costing a reported fee of £8.5m, which could rise to £9.5m, Idah is Celtic's second most expensive signing of all time, behind only Odsonne Edouard. But you get what you pay for in the modern game, and reliable strikers are a priceless commodity. Norwich held all the aces at the negotiating table after Celtic neglected to put an option to buy in the original loan deal. Now he's back, the 23-year-old has scope for more development and his attributes will give Celtic's attack a different dimension. At 6ft 3in, he provides aerial prowess plus a physical focal point up front allied to strong finishing ability. With Kyogo Furuhashi troubled by a recurring shoulder injury, Idah's arrival is a signing that makes sense on many levels.' |
