Celts Are Here

Martin O’Neill has addressed questions on the difficulty of deploying Camilo Duran in the position to get the most out of the Celtic star. Duran has started his career in Glasgow on fire with six goals and three assists from just 10 outings under O’Neill. The former Qarabag attacker, 24, has played through the middle as well as on the right-hand side of a three-pronged attack.

Jurgen Klopp has explained he called Mika Baur into his Germany first-team squad because he finds the Celtic star “exciting”. The Hoops midfield ace was a shocking selection from the new head coach of the national team as he confirmed his set-up for coming fixtures against Greece and Serbia. Klopp named two separate selections due to the extended break and Baur was named among the second squad for matches on October 1 and 4 respectively.

Mika Baur has been selected by Jurgen Klopp for the German national team for the first time. The Celtic midfielder has started his career strongly in Glasgow with some top perfomances and really not looked out of place alongside Callum McGregor and Benji Nygren. Baur has been capped at under-21 level for the Germans but new head coach Klopp has now given the 22-year-old an opportunity to show what he is capable of by picking him for coming fixtures.

Martin O’Neill could swing the axe for Celtic this evening as he looks for vast improvement against Ferencvaros. The Hoops lost 3-0 to rivals Rangers last weekend and the manager was questioned for some of his personnel decisions before kick-off at Ibrox.

Celtic Fans Collective have revealed the club have set a sit-down with representatives over a number of burning issues. The CFC confirmed in an email to members last night that they had been contacted by the club to invite selected members to have a conversation regarding fan engagement as well as other disagreements such as the Not Another Penny campaign.

Colby Donovan has labelled Kieran Tierney a “role model” of his and explained why he and the left-back have clicked at Celtic this season. The defender, 20, and his counterpart on the opposite flank have become pals this year since KT’s return to Lennoxtown and Donovan has been taken under his wing. And who better than Tierney to do so. A fellow young player who came through the academy ranks at Parkhead, became a first-team regular and a fan favourite.

Martin O’Neill has provided slightly more information for Celtic supporters as to exactly why Haissem Hassan did not start for Celtic in their recent Rangers defeat. The Egyptian had a “sleep issue” which prevented him from playing from kick-off at Ibrox as the Hoops were well beaten in their Premier Sports Cup quarter-final. Hassan came off the bench in the second half of the fixture with Sebastian Tounekti ineffectual and he at least looked to try and create opportunities for his side.

Martin O’Neill has described Celtic’s defeat to Rangers as an “eye opener” but has urged his squad to use it as fuel against Ferencvaros. The Hoops put on a dismal display against their rivals last Sunday and were soundly beaten at Ibrox. It was a result which hurt the fanbase as well as O’Neill and the manager wants to make sure his side can bounce back and really show what they are capable of in this evening’s Europa League tie.

Forgotten ex-Celtic kid Daniel Arzani has shrugged off claims that he has something to prove to his old club this evening as he prepares for a “nostalgic” return to Parkhead with Ferencvaros. The Australian signed for the Hoops back in 2018 on an initial loan but his debut was cruelly cut short when he suffered a torn ACL against Dundee in November of that year.
