Charlie Nicholas clearly can’t read the room after his bizarre transfer rant claiming Neil Lennon will be dissatisfied with the transfer window.

The former Celt’s tirade was focused around Diego Laxalt’s deal; Charlie bemoaning it was only a loan and a cheap option.

“I said Celtic would go cheap in their pursuit of a left-back. I knew they wouldn’t spend money on a defender that Neil Lennon has been ever so patient for.” Nicholas told SunSport.

“I don’t think Lennon has been given much of a helping hand, if I am being honest. He had to work double time to get anything out of so-called wealthy Celtic. I’d imagine he’ll be pretty annoyed this morning.

“I am sure he will put on a brave face but I don’t think he will have got anything close to what he was looking for.

“Celtic were a stronger side last season. The main positive for Lennon is that all his main players are staying, although I am not convinced Olivier Ntcham, Kris Ajer and Tom Rogic are happy.”

Let’s be clear here, Celtic have brought in Moi, Duffy, Barkas, Ajeti, Turnbull and Laxalt during this window while keeping Odsonne Edouard, Kristoffer Ajer, Ryan Christie and Olivier Ntcham. It’s been one of Celtic’s best windows in recent times.

We expect the negativity from Nicholas but this is off the scale and is in no way keeping with the sentiment shared by the majority of the Celtic support this morning.

Celtic have utilised the loan market over the past ten years to supplement their squad. Bringing a guy who Milan paid £13m for just two seasons ago is hardly a last ditch cheap option.

  1. Charlie is only the name attached to this. It is the Express. Who reads the Express, right wing middle-aged nut-jobs. The number of Celtic supporters who read the Express must be in the tens. Charlie will get a fee and agree that they can put his name on any old garbage they knock-up. What does he care? He has no skills he needs to earn a living. Money for nothing. Charlie sold his soul for afew pennies many years ago. The dummies who read this nonsense are happy because ‘one of our own is telling it like it is’. Only he is not. It’s not him. Whoever writing this knows his audience only too well. But hopefully Charlie has something left in him that makes him feel shame that this si what he is reduced to.
