The close season is almost over, the new season starts next week with familiar issues dominating the thoughts of Celtic supporters.
Sadly the club has lost a legend, that word is cheaply thrown around but John Clark requires no justification for that term.
His four stints at Celtic were recognised, player, reserve coast, assistant manager then kit manager but he was more than any of those titles.
As kit manager Wim Jansen, Martin O’Neill, Gordon Strachan and Brendan Rodgers all leaned on Clark, he was a football man, knew the game and the challenges that face every Celtic manager.
Transfer wise Celtic continue to move in slow-motion, not much seems to have been learned despite activity this window likely to have a major bearing on whether or not Brendan Rodgers will stay beyond 2026.
Ben Nygren seems close to signing up, when Fabrizio Romano tweets details of a fee and contract length you can be fairly certain that only the timing of the announcement has still to be finalised.
At Celtic departures tend to balance out with arrivals, talk of a £15m price tag on Nicolas Kuhn was strongly attacked by James Forrest, all of us agreed that there was more to come from the winger, unlike Matt O’Riley a year ago Kuhn hasn’t reached his Celtic ceiling.
Across the city they are all high-fiving each other after Andrew Cavenagh delivered sugar coated tales of magical castles that lie empty due to the lack of signings for the Russell Revolution.
Anyone that does business with Dave King is worth keeping a close eye on.
With the new season about to get underway Monday at 6.30pm will be the regular slot for the Trinity Tims in the months ahead.
