My thoughts.
Beale has been backed reasonably well and it is now very much his team. I can't say I've seen much of any of the players although YouTube gives the always accurate video packages to get a bit excited about. We seem to be focusing on size and players who have had a down year or three.
Celtic will be stretched to be better given they won the league with something like 5 points dropped before sleepwalking through the split. But they have appointed the guy with the record points total for the league. Celtic transfer business I think is still to get going although I personally don't see any records being broken but I do expect the guts of £25+m to be spent. Interesting to wonder who might move on if anyone.
I'm hoping Rodgers is facing a much better Rangers team this time up though and I'm confident it will be.

I hadn't watched any so decided to take a look there out of curiosity. The Cyril Dessers "welcome to Rangers" video is dire viewing. I can only hope it was put together by a Celtic fan trawling for footage of all his worst moments.
Aye, who knows, MIller. Rangers got to gel with the new guys - could be great, could be difficult? All the boys new top the Scottish game and that isn't always easy, the pace, the tackles.
For us, you have to ask if buying all these guys at £1-6m has been such a resounding success then why would you change it up and risk any more other than money burning a hole in the pocket? OK, we've probably emptied Japan of low hanging fruit but plenty more markets.
Money might be spent for Rodgers to finally get his indoor pitch as well and that won't be cheap albeit Celtic have a knack of doing the bare minimum. Even if it was similar to Toryglen, Oriam, Ravenscraig with 3-400 seats it would be decent though FFS not the Ravenscraig lighting. I imagine it would be at Barrowfield so the academy could get the most use but who knows?
I watched his conference league goals and thought he seems to score the gimmes at least. A nice change of pace from Morelos and Sakala there.

Great news that.
Hopefully we can get the finger out this week on a couple of new first teamers to join him, as I don’t see the current recruits in the first XI.
Young Leon King has a bad injury (contact injury to his ankle). Do we need to get somebody in? Balogun even?
By looks of it Balogun will be coming back. Its a bit of a disappointing signing although I do see why.
I think if Davies moves we need to be signing another, but you'd imagine he's on decent wages having signed from Liverpool for pretty decent money. Will a loss need to be taken to move him? What are the targets likely to cost. I've seen names like Trusty and Panzo although I have seen zero minutes of either.
Balogun makes sense as cover for King. Good to see that likely means trust being put in King.
Agree would be good to see a new centre back come in and replace Davies to improve xi, Trusty ideally
