The snail’s pace of building work at Ibrox is continuing with some excitement caused by a lorry turning up with some steel beams.

That has been enough to convince many bears that they’ll soon be sitting in the Copland Road Stand again while speculation mounts that Hampden will be home until December of January.

Since the June 20 announcement that Ibrox won’t be ready for the start of the season there hasn’t been any follow up with either an alternative venue or likely return date.

Neil Doncaster is trying to introduce flexibility into the SPFL fixture list but five weeks before Ibrox is due to host its first home match of the season Motherwell are in the dark about where they will be playing.

The virtual mainstream embargo on the story has added to the speculation that the problems are far deeper than have been disclosed.

With two UEFA matches possible during August the stakes couldn’t be higher but from the pictures leaking out of Ibrox it could be some time before European football returns to the stadium.

How many signings will Celtic make in time for SPFL starter on August 4?

None, it will be in the final few weeks

Joe McHugh has been Video Celts since 2010, every day covering events in and around Scotland's most successful club.
When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.
Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement, cheers big man.
There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same more than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying every success for Scotland's Most Successful Club.
