Why Celtic should smash their transfer record NOW as rumbling fan anxiety won't be eased by love bombs - Hugh Keevins

There’s a limit to the length of time you can expect supporters to do cartwheels over the renewal of contracts for players already at a club.

Celtic are going for glory once more as they embark on a new era.
