News Every Celtic Fan Wants To Hear!
Celtic fans all over the UK have been going nuts after they found out that Celtic will earn a free pass through to the group stages of the Champions League! This happened after 9 members of the Panathinikos squad that featured in the 2 legs against Celtic had beemn taking some sort of drug in the 5 months leading up to the match, this lead to the club being kicked out of the competition and must now wait until next year before they can feature in it. The news also gets better for Celtic as they are on the verge of signing Loic Remy for a fee of around £11.5 million which has to be payed of in the next 48 months. Jordan Mutch is also expected to be joining from Birmingham but the fee involved with that transfer has not yet been announced by either of the clubs. (Below are pictures of both Remy and Mutch)

A very impressive month for Henrik Larsson and his men on the opening month of the season as they started of with a 2-0 win over a strong Hearts team. They remained undeafeted throughout the month and im sure they hope to carry out out into next month, altough they were unable to defeat Panathinikios they will still be happy that they got through to the group stages of the Champions League. The additions of both Remy and Krasic are sure to boost the confidence of the team and improve the way that they play.
Celtic Drawn Hard Group In Champions League!
It has yet to be said what Henrik Larssons toughts are on the group that he recived but we are sure that it will ruin the mood that he was in earlier this week!
