How's their game not on the telly tomorrow? 

Sky contract allows no more than 5 games from each ground. Already had 3 from Easter Road so Sky appear to be banking on them having to go to Easter Road after the split.

There keeper isn't the problem, it's the fact the defence is fucking rotten

The big cunt saved them on numerous occasions last season mate. There defece has always been a joke but having a quality keeper gets them out of trouble every time. 

I hope he doesn't re sign for them

Forster earns £70k/week at Southampton.  There’s no way he’s walking away from that contract to play for celtic.  Even if Southampton gave celtic a price, and celtic matched it, they couldn’t get close to what Lurch wants in wages.  

Southampton would need to do what they did last season and pay 50% of his wages.  It looks like they now view Forster as a solid backup and wont pay him to play for someone else this year.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/celtic-fans-ira-t-shirt-conviction-quashed-plk3sj2pm

Three Celtic fans who were taken to court for wearing pro-IRA T-shirts at a football match against a Belfast team have had their convictions overturned.

Michael MacAulay, Daniel Ward and Ryan Walker were spotted by police inside Celtic Park sporting shirts emblazoned with a head wearing a black beret, sunglasses and a camouflage scarf covering the mouth, with the flag of the Republic of Ireland featured in the background.

Officers at the Celtic v Linfield match, a Champions League qualifier, interpreted the image as referring to IRA paramilitaries. The men were arrested and went on trial at Glasgow sheriff court in February. They denied committing a breach of the peace at the game in July 2017 but were convicted.

PC Samantha Stirling and PC Karen Taylor, both of Police Scotland, told the court they believed the image to have paramilitary connotations. PC Simon Nixon, from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, also said the image was clearly intended to depict an IRA member in paramilitary clothing.

The men took their case to the Sheriff Appeal Court where the verdict was quashed by three judges led by Sheriff Principal Craig Turnbull.

Lawyers for the men argued that prosecutors needed to prove why the image on the T-shirts supported the IRA and had not provided any corroboration. The prosecution said that only the breach of the peace required to be proved. The sheriffs ruled that prosecutors had not established that the men wore the T-shirts in support of the IRA and had not committed a breach of the peace.

Mr Turnbull said in his judgment: “Only the evidence of Constable Nixon was capable of establishing that the T-shirts displayed an image of a figure related to and in support of the IRA. The evidence of Constables Stirling and Taylor did not.”

Mr Turnbull acknowledged that the wearing of the T-shirt could provoke fury from Linfield supporters.

He said: “It is difficult but to conclude that the wearing of such T-shirts amounted to a deliberately provocative gesture directed towards the Linfield support. The wearing of such T-shirts in near proximity to the opposing supporters within or around a football stadium is conduct which, if proved, would in our view present as genuinely alarming and disturbing, in context, to any reasonable person.”

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said it noted the decision and would consider the judgment.
