Let\u2019s not forget that a big percentage of us have also just renewed season tickets, so it\u2019s been a bit of a challenging time for the bank balance of the average working class supporter, the lifeblood of this football club of ours.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-lazy tweet-img lazyload\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\">8am \ud83d\udd57 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adidasfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@adidasfootball<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QF2Lecfx7m\">pic.twitter.com\/QF2Lecfx7m<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtic Football Club (@CelticFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CelticFC\/status\/1944819184636190782?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What the support wants more than anything else \u00a0is new signings, not new merchandise. We put our hard earned cash into the club and in doing so have contributed to the PLC bulging bank account so it\u2019s only reasonable that we expect to see an investment on the playing front.<\/p>\n<p>Teasing us with new merchandise is fine and dandy but it\u2019s not something we are all waiting on, including Brendan Rodgers. And in the context of the transfer window business it\u2019s getting rather irritating. We want to investment into the first team, not more emptied out of our pockets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gv1pHbpXYAAeLQg.jpeg\" class=\"lazyload lazyload wp-image-167745 has-webp aligncenter size-full\"  data- style=\"aspect-ratio:863\/1471;max-width:863px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Just an Ordinary Bhoy<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/celticpools.securecollections.net\/index.aspx?Agent=3532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Celtic-Pools-Weekly-Lottery-CM-FINAL.jpg\" class=\"lazyload lazyload wp-image-142391 has-webp size-full\" alt=\"Join the Weekly Lottery\"  data- style=\"aspect-ratio:1080\/1080;max-width:1080px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Help raise funds for Celtic Youth Academy by playing the Celtic Pools Weekly Lottery and you could win up to \u00a325,000.
