Rotherham linked with Anthony Stokes
Rotherham are ready to launch a bid for Anthony Stokes as new manager Alan Stubbs targets a reunion with the Celtic striker, according to a report.
Stubbs had the 27-year-old Irishman on loan from the Parkhead side in his last managerial post at Hibernian.

Celtic fail in bid for Man City youngster

CELTIC have failed in a bid to take Manchester City youngster Chidiebere Nwakali to Parkhead.
The Nigerian midfielder is yet to make any first-team appearances for City but has had loan spells at Spanish sides Malaga and Girona and IK Start in Norway.
And he was reportedly wanted by Celtic, with the 19-year-old’s brother claiming that City ‘gave Celtic a negative response’ when the Hoops enquired about the defensive midfielder. (Various)

Hoops still in chase for Dack

CELTIC are reportedly still in the chase for Gillingham midfielder Bradley Dack, according to reports in England.
But the Hoops face competition from Bristol City, Brighton and Crystal Palace for the 22-year-old, who is under contract at the Gills until June 2018. (Croydon Advertiser)

Kazim-Richards set for Celtic exit

COLIN Kazim-Richards is set to leave Celtic and join Brazilian outfit Coritiba, according to reports.
The Turkish forward looks likely to follow Carlton Cole out of the Parkhead exit door following the arrival of Brendan Rodgers and reportedly underwent a medical with the Sao Paulo outfit earlier this week.
Kazim-Richards scored twice in 13 games for Celtic. (Various)

Fulham eye Johansen swoop

FULHAM could make a move for Celtic midfielder Stefan Johansen.
The 25-year-old Norwegian had been holding talks with Hoops chiefs but discussions are said to have failed to reach a contract extension.
Now Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic could take a chance on Johansen, knowing a bid of around ÂŁ2 million could prompt Celtic to let the player leave Parkhead. (Daily Express)


Arsenal still monitoring Rogic

ARSENAL are still keeping tabs on Celtic star Tom Rogic, having been linked with the Australian ace earlier this year.
The 23-year-old, who has won 17 caps for his country, has emerged as a target for the Gunners along with highly-rated defender Kieran Tierney.
And former Australian international Peter Raskopolous believes a move south would benefit Rogic, adding: “The more European league in the EPL will suit him better than the bustle and roughness of the Scottish league.
“The Scottish league is a hard league and Tommy will be suited to Arsenal much better. It’s a club where we’ll see Tommy making a huge name for himself.” (Various)


Hoops look to sell Stokes for ÂŁ500k

CELTIC could sell striker Anthony Stokes for £500,000 - after snubbing the chance to terminate the Irishman’s contract at Parkhead.
Stokes, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Hibs, scored a double as Hibs ended their 114-year wait for Scottish Cup glory with a 3-2 win over Rangers last month.
But Celtic could look to cash in on the striker after his Hampden heroics, and Stokes could team up again with Alan Stubbs with Rotherham keen on the forward. (Daily Mail)

Ronald Koeman's imminent appointment as Everton manager could spark a cash windfall for Celtic. The Dutchman is reportedly keen to take former Parkhead stars Fraser Forster and Virgil van Dijk with him to Goodison from Southampton, and the Scottish champions would be entitled to 10% of any transfer fees. (Daily Record)

Hibs announce Lennon as new boss targets Commons
HIBS have confirmed the appointment of Neil Lennon as the club’s new head coach on a two-year deal. Lennon, who spent four years at Celtic before taking the reins at Bolton, will bring trusted right-hand man Garry Parker to Easter Road as his assistant and is targeting promotion with the Leith side. And the former Celtic boss is keen on taking Kris Commons to Easter Road as he looks to secure promotion for Hibs. Commons was a bit-part player under Ronny Deila last season and could jump at the chance to team up with his former boss again. (Various)

Celtic close in on Wisdom
CELTIC are reportedly closing in on Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom, as Brendan Rodgers looks to bring in new faces to Parkhead. The 23-year-old has been told he doesn’t have a future at Anfield by Jurgen Klopp, and Rodgers is believed to be keen on linking up again with the defender who is expected to cost around £3 million. Wisdom spent last season on loan at Norwich, and has had spells at West Brom and Derby, as well as making 14 appearances for Liverpool. (Various)

Blackburn enter race for Danny Graham
BLACKBURN could pip Celtic to striker Danny Graham, with new manager Owen Coyle keen to bring the former Swansea forward to Ewood Park permanently after he spent time on loan last season. The 30-year-old’s contract at Sunderland is up at the end of this month, and isn’t short of suitors. Rangers had also been linked with Graham, but it now appears to be a straight fight between Rovers and Celtic. (Various)


Wie immer alles erstmal mit Vorsicht zu genießen. Wisdom wĂŒrde mich jetzt nicht so vom Hocker reißen, sich bei Liverpool nicht durchzusetzen ist zwar wahrlich keine Schande, aber auch bei seinen EPL-Leihstationen West Brom und Norwich hat er kaum ĂŒberzeugen können. Noch weniger hielte ich von Graham, von daher darf Blackburn den gerne holen. Zeigt auch, in welche Liga er gehört.

Streng genommen keine GerĂŒchte, aber ein paar ganz interessante Namen:

Five players Brendan Rodgers should spend ÂŁ15 million on, according to Celtic's former scout
Neil McGuinness was Celtic’s first team scout with responsibility for European and domestic players for nearly six years. He is the man credited with discovering Virgil Van Dijk and Stefan Johansen. Herald Sport gave him a budget of £15m to sign five players who would fit Brendan Rodgers’ system at Parkhead and would, ultimately, help Celtic qualify for the Champions League . . .

[Fightin-Irish]

Hier noch das akutelle GerĂŒcht um die Verpflichtung des neuen "Jamie Vardy"

CELTIC could be dealt a boost in the chase for Bristol Rovers striker Matt Taylor, with reports down south suggesting the 26-year-old’s head has been turned by transfer talk linking him with a move away from the Memorial Stadium.

Celtic were linked with Taylor last month, with strikers Carlton Cole, Colin Kazim-Richards and Anthony Stokes all leaving Parkhead.

Taylor has scored 47 goals in 94 matches for the Pirates, and while Wigan and other Championship sides have been credited with an interest, Taylor could jump at the chance of European football if Celtic follow up their interest.

Celts close in on Danny Graham
REPORTS last night suggested that Celtic were closing in on the signing of Danny Graham, who was freed by Sunderland last week. The 30-year-old striker worked with Brendan Rodgers at Watford before the Celtic boss then signed him for Swansea in a ÂŁ3.5m deal and could be the first signing for the new Hoops regime. It is understood that the striker would be willing to take a pay cut to his current ÂŁ35k a week package at Sunderland, where he has never been able to break into the team and hold a regular place.

Emilio Izaguirre could leave Celtic as former club Motagua confirm they are interested in signing back the left back
Emilio Izaguirre could make a shock return to former club Motagua after the Honduran outfit confirmed they are trying to persuade him to go home. The 30-year-old left-back lost his place in the Celtic team last season, but has insisted he wants to fight for his spot under Brendan Rodgers. He’s spent six years at Parkhead and it was widely assumed he would leave the club this summer until he stated he wanted to stay.

UNd schon kommt das nĂ€chste StĂŒrmer-GerĂŒcht, nachdem uns Graham "erspart" worden ist

Celitc remain the frontrunners for Wales hero Hal Robson-Kanu.

The 27-year-old, who came off the bench to score Wales's winner against Slovakia on Saturday, is a free agent after leaving Reading.
However, Brendan Rodgers will also face competition from Bundesliga sides who have made early sounding to Robson-Kanu's representatives.

Ja, in der Tat! Schlecht ist der nĂ€mlich wirklich nicht! Wenn wir den irgendwie bekommen könnten, dann wĂ€re das diesmal eine wirkliche VerstĂ€rkung fĂŒr unseren Klub. Außerdem ist er Waliser, d.h er dĂŒrfte sich zugleich bei uns auch durchaus wohl fĂŒhlen. Mal sehen ob wir da doch mal GlĂŒck haben könnten...

Sollten tatsĂ€chlich Bundesligisten an ihm interessiert sein, wĂ€ren wir mMn raus aus dem Rennen. Mal schauen was das nĂ€chste GerĂŒcht bringen wird

Außerdem ist er Waliser, d.h er dĂŒrfte sich zugleich bei uns auch durchaus wohl fĂŒhlen. Mal sehen ob wir da doch mal GlĂŒck haben könnten...

WĂŒrde ich deutlich anders bewerten, sehe ihn weder jetzt noch potentiell als wirkliche VerstĂ€rkung. Irgendwo hab ich heute was vom walisischen Kazim-Richards gelesen, was es in meinen Augen ganz gut trifft, ein physisch starkes Arbeitstier mit einer miesen Torquote, der weder als AußenstĂŒrmer noch im Zentrum das zeug zum Stammspieler hat. Dazu ist er, wie ebenfalls auch CKR, gebĂŒrtig aus London, dĂŒrfte also Ă€hnlich gut (oder auch nicht) bei uns zurecht kommen wie dieser.

Derzeit (vor der EM) bekommt er nichtmal in der englischen Championship einen Vertrag, wenn wir ihn also wirklich wollen, dann werden wir ihn wohl auch bekommen, aber ich hoffe doch, dass wir etwas höherklassiger suchen. Sollte es mit Steven Fletcher auch zum gefĂŒhlt hundertsten Mal nicht klappen, fĂ€nd ich persönlich ADam Szalai von den Ungarn ganz interessant. Bei Mainz frĂŒher fand ich den immer ziemlich gut, zuletzt hatte er eine lĂ€ngere SchwĂ€chephase, weshalb er wohl relativ gĂŒnstig zu bekommen wĂ€re, und mit 1,93 und 87kg entspricht er genau dem Typ "Brecher", den wir derzeit ja anscheinend fĂŒr den Angriff suchen, und der RĂ€ume fĂŒr Griffiths schaffen könnte.


Weitere GerĂŒchte des Tages:

Celtic and Rangers want Crawley winger
BOTH Celtic and Rangers have been linked with Crawley Town winger Gwion Edwards, according to reports. Edwards, who had two loan spells at St Johnstone, has caught the eye with her performances for Crawley and has attracted interest from clubs north and south of the Border. And Brendan Rodgers is aware of the 23-year-old after he came through the ranks at Swansea City. (HITC)

Hoops eye Pars star as Reilly joins on loan
DUNFERMLINE could see one striker arrive and another leave as Celtic are linked with young forward PJ Crossan. The Pars brought in Gavin Reilly on a season-long loan from Hearts yesterday, but Crossan - who spent last season with the club’s development league squad - could be going the other way with Celtic tipped to land the young Scot. (Various)

[Celtorinox]

O.K, das mit der Trefferquote habe ich bei Robson-Kanu jetzt gar nicht mitbedacht gehabt. Das ist in der Tat jetzt ein Argument, das wirklich gegen ihn spricht.
Als KĂ€mpfertyp und vom Mannschaftsgeist her, wĂ€re er aber durchaus interessant fĂŒr uns gewesen.

[Fightin-Irish]

... und ZACK trifft Szalai fĂŒr Ungarn
Er wĂ€re sicherlich einer, der uns weiterhelfen könnte, wenn er an seine alten Mainzer Tage anknĂŒpft.
Die weiteren Stationen (Schalke, Hoffe, H96) waren eher ernĂŒchternd.


Hier mal ein neues GerĂŒcht um einen Spieler, den ich liebend gerne bei uns sehen wĂŒrde:

Celtic are reported to be weighing up a move for Swansea winger Nathan Dyer, who appear to be heading for the exit door.

Dyer was shipped out on loan to Leicester City last season and little did anyone know at the time that he would go on to pick up a Barclays Premier League winners medal. The winger made 13 appearances for the Foxes, but a permanent deal looks unlikely at this stage and he will return to the Liberty Stadium with his future very much in the balance. Former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers is said to be keeping an eye on the situation and reports claim he will make a move for the speedy winger. Dyer has just 12 months remaining on his current deal and Celtic sense a bargain as Swansea could look to cash in before he falls out of contract. It remains to be seen if Dyer can be tempted north to Scotland, but the fact that Rodgers is at Parkhead will weigh heavily in Celtic's favour.

[Celtic1888]

das muntere Ex-Rodgers Spieler mit uns in Verbindung bringen geht weiter und fĂŒllt das Sommerloch. Nun ist es also Dyer. Klar ist der schnell und war bei Swansea mal ganz okay, aber das sind alles Spieler die uns sauviel an Gehalt kosten wĂŒrden, uns aber nicht wirklich was bringen. Da wĂ€re es doch schon besser wenn Spieler geholt werden die keiner kennt ala Wanyama, Virgil, Emilio usw die dann wirklich hunrig sind, Potenzial besitzen und irgendwann auch einen dicken Batzen Geld einbringen wĂŒrden (Emilio jetzt mal außen vor) oder mal holt gleich nen richtigen Kracher wie Allen oder Lucas Leiva, wenn es schon ein Ex-Rodgers Spieler sein muss. Aber die dĂŒrften wohl leider niemals im Leben zu finanzieren sein, wenn es schon bei Fletcher dran scheitert und der nicht einmal zu Gehalt, Handgeld, Beraterhonorar eine Ablöse kostet.

ANTHONY Stokes is to hold talks with Blackburn Rovers chiefs over a potential move, amid reports Owen Coyle wants to team up Stokes with Danny Graham.
Graham - a target for Stokes’ former club Celtic - is currently a free agent, but spent time at Ewood Park on loan last season.
And Stokes has emerged as a target for a number of Championship clubs including Leeds, Birmingham, Rotherham and now Blackburn.

wĂ€re schon irgendwie lusitg, wenn tatsĂ€chlich der blinde Graham kommt und Stoksey dafĂŒr zu den Rovers geht.

Celtic want Veretout
Celtic are targeting Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout according to a report in Spain. The 23-year-old is also wanted by a couple of La Liga sides, two Ligue 1 teams and Bournemouth.

Zur Abwechslung mal kein ehemaliger Rodgers-Spieler. Meiner Meinung nach ein richtig guter Mann, auch wenn er mit Villa natĂŒrlich ein mieses Jahr hatte. Zentrales Mittelfeld, nicht wirklich unsere primĂ€re Problemposition, aber einen Spieler seiner QualitĂ€t könnten wir auf jeden Fall gebrauchen.

[Lubo]

Zentrales Mittelfeld, nicht wirklich unsere primÀre Problemposition, aber einen Spieler seiner QualitÀt könnten wir auf jeden Fall gebrauchen.

Finde schon, dass wir da was machen mĂŒssen. Mit die wichtigste Position aufm Platz. Und wen haben wir dort? Brown ist stĂ€ndig verletzt und Bitton versagt regelmĂ€ĂŸig in den wichtigen Spielen..

Oder wie siehst Du das?

[Celtic1888]

Ich sehe es Ă€hnlich wie Lubo. Denke das in der zentrale sicher ein Spieler kommen wird. Veretout wĂ€re ja eher der klassische Achter. Klar lief es bei Villa letzte Saison nicht gut, aber das hatte ja diverse GrĂŒnde, aber er ist sicherlich ein Topspieler und wenn er bei uns gut spielt, macht er sich auch wieder fĂŒr gute solide Premier League Klubs ala Stoke, Southampton, Swansea... interessant.

Liverpool to block Celtic loan bids for Gomez and Wisdom
LIVERPOOL will reportedly block any loan move for Joe Gomez and Andre Wisdom after the duo were linked with Celtic.
Former Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers has been understandably linked with a handful of Liverpool players - but Gomez and Wisdom won’t be heading north, according to reports.

Celtic eye Gregory
CELTIC have reportedly made enquiries about the availability of Millwall striker Lee Gregory.
The Sheffield-born forward, who started his career at Staveley Miners Welfare before moving onto Mansfield Town, Glapwell, Harrogate and Halifax, signed a three-year deal with Millwall in June 2014, and has so far hit 26 goals in 78 games for the Lions.

Bei den StĂŒrmern wird es wohl fast zwangslĂ€ufig auf einen Knipser aus der League One oder Championship hinauslaufen. Alles andere dĂŒrfte fĂŒr uns nicht erschwinglich sein. Aber ich persönlich hĂ€tte damit kein Problem. Vorallem wenn man bedenkt das die letzten beiden StĂŒrmer die wirklich eingeschlagen haben (Hooper und Griffiths) ebenfalls aus diesen Ligen kamen. Die Alternative wĂ€re natĂŒrlich noch eine Leihe von nem Premier League Klub am letzten Tag des Transferfensters, wenn der ein oder andere merkt, er spielt nicht. Dann kann Celtic mit der CL oder EL, dem Namen Rodgers dann doch eine gewisse Anziehungskraft auf namhaften Spieler haben.

[McCeltic]

Wir sortieren erst einmal grĂŒndlich aus und dann wird auf den richtigen Positionen sinnvoll investiert.
