Massive game tomorrow for Celtic.
Eduardos swansong?
Looks like Brighton might pounce,or Celtic cashing in.
I'd take a punt at Everton.
His possible replacement is a 23 year old from WBA on a free according to the Record.
 

A number of years ago a Scottish born businessman moved to the States and made his money.
He bought a team in Carlisle Cumbria called Gillford Park FC and changed the hole image of the club.
He named them Celtic Nation FC
Celtic hoop style strips, shamrock badge etc.
Crowds increased with even had a couple of Celtic supporters busses driving down.
They managed to attract a couple of ex-Carlisle players and seemingly they were on about a grand a week. Unbelievable.
After a while the rich bloke pulled the plug, finance etc and the club folded. Guess he got bored.
Or was he trying to get a Celtic side into the English setup?
Not sure if anyone has heard of this.

Growing up that way I heard a bit about them but the novelty quickly wore off and the news filtering down to South Cumbria was minimal :)

Not really sure what the bloke thought he was going to do.
A rich person’s play thing.
Carlisle City FC now play at the ground, it’s a good set up.
They play in the Northern League div 2.
 

Scottish Premier League starts this weekend so does anyone fancy guessing the scores?
Gers 3 Liv 0
Dun 1 St Mir 1
Ross C 1 St John 2
Hea 0 Cel 2
Dons 1 Dun U 0
Moth 1 Hib 2

Hearts/Celtic game starts late on Saturday night, 8ko.
It’s on sky but not sure why it starts so late.
 
What's the story with crowds in Scotland does anyone know?
I'm up there this weekend in the Edinburgh area and was thinking of going to Raith vs Hamilton. Can you walk up or does Covid mean it's season ticket holders only?
Club website not very helpful.

No problems Preki, just walk about Kirkcaldy on Saturday afternoon at some point you will be clubbed over the head and dragged into the ground and will pfobably wake up next to Gordon Brown in the main stand.
If Rovers win it is tradition to dance in the streets of Raith after the game.
** On a serious note mate, I haven't a clue what the rules are regarding attending a game and the club website should really be more helpful, can I suggest simply calling the club .
Hope you get sorted mate.

You'll need a test before .
And don't get over exuberant if a goal is scored.
