The £30m Edouard To Leicester Rumours
French Eddy is one of Celtic’s most prized possessions. Adored by fans, his manager and teammates it makes the £30m price tag almost insulting.

“It Was A Bad Experience” – Why Neil Lennon Takes Nothing For Granted At Celtic These Days
I still wonder why Neil Lennon left Celtic the first time as manager. He had been so successful and walked out to a packed Celtic Park every home game.

Celtic Football Club asked the question, Moussa wins the best response and probably the best memory too. Actually, I can’t decide either.

During the summer Celtic had no left-backs at the club after Kieran Tierney headed to London and left a £25m cheque behind him. Tierney was hands down the best left-back at Celtic for over a decade.
