    There’s Goals In That Darn Team

    Celtic followed up the home win over Falkirk with a comfortable 3-0 win over Aberdeen, and Andrew and Stephen join Harry to discuss a side that suddenly looks enjoyable to watch again. There’s plenty on the performances of Duran, Yang, Donovan and McGregor, first impressions of the new arrivals, and why increased competition throughout the squad may be lifting the level of those already there. The discussion also returns to the painful European exit and the uncomfortable truth that two things can be true at once: Celtic should have strengthened earlier, but the players and management should still have seen out a four-goal advantage. With the transfer window now closed, the focus turns to what Celtic have actually built. Has recruitment finally moved away from hedging bets on several cheaper players towards spending proper money on better ones, or does another frantic deadline week demonstrate that the underlying problems remain? The guys go position by position through the squad, debate the missing defensive midfielder and the goalkeeping situation, and look at the increasingly difficult UEFA homegrown-player problem. Finally, attention turns to St Mirren and how Martin O’Neill begins integrating a raft of new players while preparing Celtic for the bigger tests ahead.

    What Happens Next?

    For this weeks free podcast, Harry is joined by Matthew & Keith to pick through the aftermath of Celtic’s extraordinary European collapse against LASK and the response at Celtic Park in the weekend win over Falkirk. Despite the anger surrounding the Champions League exit, the backing for the team provides a reminder of the difference between supporting Celtic and being satisfied with how the club is being run. The guys assess the Falkirk performance, the early impressions of Celtic’s new arrivals and where the squad remains worryingly short, with left-back, defensive midfield and goalkeeper among the areas discussed as the transfer deadline approaches. The conversation then widens to the bigger question of what Celtic do next. With Europa League football now the reality, should the club reset and set an ambitious target for the competition rather than dwell on Champions League failure? There’s discussion of recruitment, Martin O’Neill, the coming games with Rangers and the continuing frustration at a club sitting on considerable resources while investment is needed both on and off the pitch. From the ageing Celtic Park experience to the inadequate facilities currently provided for Celtic Women, the question running through the episode is less about one disastrous European night and more about whether Celtic have the ambition and strategy to make the most of the position they are in.

    The LASK Word

    Andrew is joined by Stephen and Saint Anthony to look back on Celtic’s 4-0 win over Dundee United and assess where the team stands as another crucial European night approaches. The guys discuss the performance, the impact of the new signings, concerns over the balance of the midfield and the attacking options available to the manager. They also consider Celtic’s transfer strategy, squad management and whether further additions are still required before the window closes. Attention then turns to Austria and the first leg of Celtic’s UEFA Champions League qualifier against LASK. The discussion covers the strengths of the opposition, team selection, tactics and what Celtic need to do to put themselves in a strong position for the return leg. Along the way, the guys reflect on previous European campaigns, the lessons Celtic should have learned and the relationship between the club, its management and the supporters.

    Total eclipse of the Celts

    There was an eclipse visiable across Europe just before this podcast except for viewers in Scotland where the view was obscured by cloud but there was no eclipsing the performance of the bhoys on Sunday as they knocked 5 goals past Killie and Kasper knocked in 3 of his own in 30 first half minutes. Subscribers have already had the immediate post-game reaction of Harry in the mono-pod but for everyone else, the team assembled to give their view on the game and new signings.
