More money pissed up against a wall by Celtic: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53792435Ukraine winger Marian Shved has left Celtic without making a first-team start to join Belgian side KV Mechelen on a season-long loan. The 23-year-old scored once in three appearances off the bench last term. Shved signed for the Scottish champions from Karpaty Lviv in January 2019 for a reported £2m, but was immediately loaned back to the Ukrainian side for the rest of the campaign. Mechelen say they have the option to buy the two-cap international. This comes on top of Lennon signing yet another striker, Ajeti from WHU. Of all the strikers he has signed over the years, only Gary Hooper came good. This new signing suggests to me that time might be running out rapidly for the Griff.

He was a flop at the Hammers.

Leigh Griffiths: What now for the Celtic & Scotland striker? In a potentially historic season for Celtic and Scotland, Leigh Griffiths should be a go-to guy up front. Instead, he risks becoming the forgotten man. The striker turns 30 today, a milestone at which many of his contemporaries perform at the peak of their powers. But with Griffiths' future clouded in uncertainty and his commitment under scrutiny, what now for the enigmatic forward? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53832278

That says it all about the Griff. I'm a fan. Always have been but the facts can't be ignored. He's a manager's nightmare. Unreliable, irresponsible. He's on a par with Hooperman as a striker but...

"Livingston are poised to offer a one-year contract to former Celtic and Republic of Ireland striker Anthony Stokes as a replacement for Lyndon Dykes, who joined Queens Park Rangers for £2m this week, with the 32-year-old a free agent after leaving Iranian club Persepolis. (Daily Record)"

I'm sure you cherish the memory of his goal in the 1973 cup final. Yeah! He did his best to miss from 6 inches! Lovely pics of Stonehouse main street in the article btw!

Looks like Provo Shane Duffy is about to sign for Celtic.
That's should please those Green Brigade wankstains.
Fuck him. At least he isn't another striker!

Rangers goalie Allan McGregor's car set on fire A police investigation is under way after a car belonging to Rangers player Allan McGregor was deliberately set on fire in the driveway outside his home. The incident happened on Thursday at about 22:40 at the goalkeeper's house in the outskirts of Glasgow. A total of three fire engines were sent to the incident to extinguish the flames. No one was injured. Police Scotland said the fire was "being treated as wilful" and its investigation was ongoing. In a statement the force said they were made aware of the vehicle fire outside a property on Thursday night. They added: "The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended, nobody was injured and the fire is being treated as wilful. "Inquiries are ongoing. Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 3735 of 3 September." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-54039903Either some twisted Celtic fan or a disgruntled husband!

I understand the possibility of a Celtic fan but who is the "disgruntled husband"?

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock & Ross County v Celtic to be test events Two of Saturday's Scottish Premiership matches will be played in front of fans after the Scottish government approved their applications to be test events. Aberdeen's game with Kilmarnock and Ross County's meeting with Celtic will both have up to 300 spectators. Both home clubs must ensure supporters are from their local areas and must provide a post-match report. No fans have been in football stadiums since March, with the opening few weeks of the term played behind closed doors. Rangers and Celtic test events on hold One test event has been held so far in Scotland - the Pro14 meeting of Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Aberdeen have also confirmed the 300 places will be allocated after a ballot of the first 7,500 fans who bought season tickets. The club will also aim to "ensure a spread of different size groups and ages". They are also hopeful of being allowed to welcome 750 people into their game against Motherwell at Pittodrie next week, though the club's commercial director Rob Wicks says that will be contingent on the success of Saturday's pilot. Asked about the prospect of having crowds of up to 9,000 in before the end of the year, Wicks added: "The message that we're getting is that it's going to be a slower build up than perhaps we've seen elsewhere. "As frustrating as that might be, we'll continue to learn from the experiences. If it all goes to plan then hopefully we can scale quicker than is currently in the planning." County will also run a ballot of season-ticket holders who are Staggies Army members. Sports minister Joe FitzPatrick said "nothing should be taken for granted" and that the pilot matches would be "under close review". Rangers had previously been told they would be unable to host test events until local Covid-19 restrictions are lifted in Glasgow, and St Mirren are now in a similar position after measures were applied in Renfrewshire. Speaking before the news was confirmed, Ross County manager Stuart Kettlewell said it would be a significant marker in the return to some kind of normality in football. "I know fans are desperate to get back in," he said. "I know a lot of folk will still miss out but I think that small step would be massive for the game. "They are very, very loyal and even to get a small percentage of them in will be a huge boost to the players and to myself." A further Scottish government update on when fans might return to stadiums more widely is expected from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on 10 September. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54061580

Rangers set new record for number of clean sheets since start of a season. Played 7, conceded 0 goals. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54091399If Rangers do not concede against Dundee United on Saturday, they will set a new record. (They've just won 4-0.) Steven Gerrard's side matched the mark - set by Celtic 114 years ago - of six clean sheets at the start of a season in their 2-0 win over Hamilton Academical last time out. In 1906, it took until the final minute of Celtic's win over Aberdeen in October for their run to be broken by David McKinlay's late consolation. Celtic won 5-0 in Dingwall against Ross County. Duffy scored on his league debut.

Didn't Fraser Forster go 20 odd games before conceding, a few years ago?
