Nice work with Celtic @Vladis, I’d be interested to see how Shelbourne and the League of Ireland more widely have fared in your absence. Spotted that they’d dropped down the coefficients a bit…

Hi @jasonc2397! 

Shelbourne is doing well. Their manager now  is Jim Goodwin who started his professional career in Celtic. Funny enough). Second season in a row after my resign they continue winning traditions with another two league titles. Unfortunately they didn`t jump into UCL groups stages neither last year nor this season. I don`t remember exactly where Ireland was in coefficients rank at the moment of my move to Glasgow  but for now they are at 16th place near to Greece,  Austria and Czech Republic.

This season could topple the real life invincible’s at this rate!!

Another two crashing victories and first loose of points this season in Old Firm Derby

UEFA Champions League

Perfect football, great result and knockout rounds again! The opponent in the first round is very tough.

Next opponent - Barcelona (First Knockout Round)

Scottish League Cup Final

Another trophy in our collection, not so significant in comparison with another ones we have but still.

Club News

Kopa Trophy is massive achievement for the club and our home-grown Russell personally.

Another famous award. Bazunu left behind such giants like Meslier (currently in Juve) and ter Stegen (still in Barcelona).

And a deserved inclusion in World XI of the Year, even as a substitute.

[SixPointer]

Shame to stop the winning run, but still unbeaten! Tough draw in UCL but they have came to parkhead before and been beaten!!

January 2029

Good start of the new year with 5 wins in a row

Scottish Cup

After beating Ross County in League Cup Final, we defeated them in another cup. 

As you can see Scottish Cup is very prestigious so we pay serious attention to this tournament.

Club News

 Michał Piątek

The only signing in winter transfer window is this young Polish midfielder. He should replace in near future aging Under or Pedrinho on the right flank in attack.

Also we sent on loan to Hibernian our young talent Conor McLeish who recently turned 18.

Great month and Piatek looks a talent

Pre-Season Review

Recruitment

Players Out

Everyone has its price. I had no plans to sell team leaders Lourenco and Pavlovic but the offers were good and due to respect to these players I let them go to the top clubs from top leagues.

Pedrinho was a great servant for the club for seven seasons but he seriously declined physically and with so high competition for a place in the team I think it was the right moment to sell him.

I had a big dilemma before the start of pre-season as we have three wonderkids at one position of advanced forward: Russell, McMillan and Grady. At the end of last season I was experimenting a lot with having them all on the pitch at the same time but couldn`t say that I was happy with what I saw. So I decided that I need another year of thinking and experimenting and for that time we loan Grady out to Arsenal where he is considered as regular starter.

And may be even more notable departure: Callum McGregor retired from football after twenty (!) years at the club. And though last years he was mostly out from the regular squad his loyalty means a lot for the club and for the fans.

Also after two years of successful loan Bradbury returned to Arsenal as he expected to get chance for the first team. 

Players In

 Kieran Tierney

Great news for all Celtic supporters. One of the best club products returns home. Though on loan but his contract is expiring in one year so we have chance to sign him for free.

 Chris Mepham

Solid replacement for Pavlovic. May be fee is too high for 31 y.o. but he agreed to play for a very modest wage and his experience should help us in UCL.

Also we`ve moved from U18 team David Stephen who is ready for the first team and could be even better than Lourenco in the future though my assistant is very cautious about his potential abilities. 

Expected Starting XI & Second XI

 

+ Andrew Robertson is still here but more like mentor for younger players. And also another young academy product McLeish will train with senior team and have some playing time for quicker development.

Friendly matches

This summer we went to UAE where won all three matches against best local clubs.

After we reoriented our tactical style on more  quicker attacks from the flanks our game really improved and I like what I see on the pitch. And we still break any records with number of penalties we kick.

Aguilar plus some luck were key factors with the win over Man Utd. We need just one point to secure 2nd spot.

November 2029

Scottish Premiership

Only two league games in November and another 6 points.

As a predicted we lost in Manchester and suddenly 15 points were not enough for the 1st place. But I could say we are lucky with the next round draw.

Next opponent - FC Porto (First Knockout Round)

Scottish League Cup Final

First final with Celtic lost under my management. Awful game and deserved defeat.

Players Out

Suddenly Man U activated release clause and we lost one of the best players. Funny that you can`t find anyone more happy then director of Chester (Vanarama NL) whose team received 40% of transfer fee (30+ millions)

We couldn`t refuse this offer for 30 y.o. who is not regular starter. 

And also we terminated contract of Andrew Robertson who became a real deadwood.

After we lost two players on the left flank of attack I decided to changer our formation to narrow 4-3-1-2. With few additions the squad is capable to adapt to this scheme.

Players In

 Aaron Hickey

Very long and tough process of signing this player and finally another Scottish star joins us.

 Jonathan Lunan

 Jamie Fraser

With change in formation we need some more depth in midfield so these two young players should provide cover for more experienced team mates and try to realize there potential.

After decent loan spell in Arsenal we returned Grady as we now play with two strikers.

We were at winter break until January 19th so only two matches and 6 points.

Recruitment

PLAYERS OUT

It wasn`t too hard decision because: 1) we have Aguilar who is without any doubts number one, 2) 49,5M, 3) Gavin really wanted to join Leicester and if we hadn't accepted the offer he would surely have been unhappy.

Though they are good players with Scottish passport, we have really high competition for places in the squad and I just didn`t find place for them.

One of my Shelbourne`s favorites didn`t have strong chance in Celtic and after two loans in his (and mine) former team left the club after the end of contract.

Age, just age.

Just the youngsters who wouldn't have had a chance to break into the main team.

Some notable loans. All these youngsters are pretty talented so we will follow their progress.

 

PLAYERS IN

 Phil Nelson

Biography

Serious upgrade to our defensive line. In pair with Smith they should cement our penalty box.

 

 Filip Ronningen Jorgensen

Biography

Fantastic deal. We gave real top-class player for free. Even though he is now most earned player in the club with salary 100k p/w but I`m sure he is worth it.

 Espen Johnsen

Biography

Our new backup keeper. Not as good of course as Bazunu was but decent enough for his role.

 

 David Frame

 Kyle McWaters

Two talented youngsters will join our U18 team.

 

Another movements:

 

 Jonny Harrison - yes, we bought out Jonny after three successful seasons on loan.  

 Jamie Fraser - another year with us on loan from Liverpool

 Aaron Westcarr - returned to the club after two years on loan in Doncaster

 Brian Ferguson - signed for free in 2028, was on loan at Newcastle and Leeds last seasons

 George Stevenson - moved from U18 team

 

Expected Starting XI & Second XI

+ Cengiz Under, Morten Thorsby and George Stevenson

The start of the season is even better than I predicted! Having top strikers is a big advantage in tactic we use. On the other hand I have some concerns about heavy dependence on them.

UEFA Champions League Group Stage draw

I could say we are really lucky with the draw but we shouldn`t lose focus.

September 2030

Scottish Premiership

Good run continues. All our striker are on fire,

UEFA Champions League

We were destroyed on the flanks. It could be be a turning point as I`m not sure we have long-term perspective in our current tactic without wide players in attack. Majority of teams we face play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and If the quality of opposition`s wide players is high we have real problems. So it looks like we will turn to more classic and more stable 4-3-3. 

Scottish League Cup

Important victory for us and especially for our fans.

Next opponent - Dundee Utd. (Semi Final)

October 2030

I would especially highlight comeback in Derby - probably the most memorable moment of the month. The first third of the season is behind us. Not all victories are easy, but still we have not lost a single point

Transfer window

As we have returned to the tactical scheme with wide attacking player we needed to strength up this line.

 Ramon Gomez - from Chelsea (Loan)

Good temporary option. I have some doubts that we need to consider his buy out but for the next 6 month he should really help us.

 Renyer - from PSG (€ 27.5M)

Very good skilled player who was on my scouts eyes for the last 2-3 seasons. He became unsettled in PSG and we took a chance with a fairly modest wage agreed.

But...my fault that I didn`t check the fact that Celtic is his 3d club in one season and... . So he will train with the team and play for reserves team. Hope he will not lose his form.

Absolutely great performance with the new tactical style implemented from the start of the year.

February 2031

Great month! Even the loss of points against Harts didn't upset me. 9-1 win over Dundee Utd is probably one of the best games in my career and it`s especially fantastic considering that we played away from home.

UEFA Champions League

We`ve done the job perfectly. Didn`t allowed too much for Haaland and Co, and found the chance to score in quick attack. If we could play the same way at second match I think we have chances to go through.

END OF SEASON REVIEW

Competitions Review

The best season so far for me at Celtic. We finished the season unbeatable in the league and during all tournaments this season we lost only two matches and all of them in UCL: Ajax at group stages and Barcelona in Semi-Final. In UCL we looked really great but were not so lucky with the draw in knockout rounds: two Manchester sides and Barca.

We started this season with quite experimental narrow 4-3-1-2 formation but predictably were very vulnerable at the flanks in defense so from 1st January I transformed our tactic to high-pressing 4-3-3 and it gave a lot of benefits to our play and I think style that we implemented really suits us.

Two team leaders left this summer. We had very low chances to keep one of the best academy graduates in Celtic history David McMillan. Atletico and La Liga is a good step forward for him. We will follow his progress and wish him best of luck.

Another big sale is Jorgensen. Here it`s pure business. Signed for free last summer and sold to Real for almost 40M pounds - great deal for 29 y.o. Norwegian.

Also a group of young players left the club including Shaw and Shewan. Reason is common - their potential doesn`t allow them to pretend for stable first team members in the future so It`s a chance for them to progress in less powerful teams.

 

New signings (player profiles are clickable)

Saint-Etienne academy graduate who spend last two seasons on loan at Braga. Fantastic dribbling alongside with good physics and creator` skills.

Slightly controversial signing as we have a lot of good players in his position but I just couldn't get past this opportunity to sign for free such a skillful player. Probably will retrain him for IW role on the left flank.

Yong player for U19 team with a very high potential. Signed from Hearts.

Gavin returns after 1.5 seasons in Leicester. 40M is dubious price but on the other hand we sold him 2 years ago for 45M. 

Serious injury of our young star Smith forced us to look for quick replacement and this Greece talent is very good option I think.
