Living in exciting times as Celtic fans

We are living in exciting times as Celtic fans. Celtic’s pre-season has finished and Ange seems happy. He has brought in new players with Jota. Maeda and Carter Vickers also signing permanently. Celtic fans have now had a look at all the new Bhoys in the flesh. Today it is the start of the real business when Aberdeen come to Paradise.

Back in January we brought in a trio of  Japanese players, with two becoming permanent fixtures in the starting eleven. Talk was the players being tired after coming straight from a full season of football at home in the J-League.

They may have had an extra long season but their attitude and commitment was unquestionable. Now they have had a break and against Norwich Maeda and Hatate looked at the level Kyogo was at when he arrived last year.

There is certainly a lot more to come from our Japanese Bhoys. Competition is healthy. Was Ange’s starting eleven the team that starts again today? After the Champions flag is raised, Ange will select 11 men to start with those on the bench ready when called.

David Turnbull scored last week and he will have given the Celtic manager food for thought ahead of naming his first 11. Ange hasd the luxury of a full week to prepare for today with his players. Something he did not have last season as we battled for Euro qualification.

Qualification for the group stages of the Champions League has made life a lot easier for the manager. The purse strings have been loosened with the riches that will come in Europe’s premier football competition.

On Thursday the 25^th of August we will all have our eyes glued to the TV when the draw is made before the the stampede to book flights and hotels ahead of those famous nights in Celtic Park and Away Days in far flung destinations.
