Celtic's 1-0 win at the Falkirk Stadium isn't a game you'll ever want to watch back again!
But... the most important thing is that Martin O'Neill's side once again found a way to win, as the Bhoys took all 3 points to keep up the pressure at the top of the table.
It was Benji Nygren once again with the all important goal - his 12th of the season - as Celtic continue to get back on track from what's been a disjointed campaign so far.
There's absolutely no doubt though that this side does NOT have the quality and depth to win this title, and so once again it's all eyes on the club to do the right thing by supporting the manager this January transfer window...

Celtic head to Falkirk this midweek for the first of four away fixtures of a very different nature.
With no room for error at the top of the table nothing but a win will do as Martin O'Neill and his side look to keep up the pressure on both Hearts and Rangers above them.
If they're to do so it'll be without the addition of any new striker as Celtic's search for a new No.9 goes on amidst another uninspiring January Transfer Window to date!

Just seven days ago we were preparing for Celtic Exchange Weekly with both Wilfried Nancy and Paul Tisdale firmly in place at Celtic, and a whole lot of concern for how the season was going to play out.
Fast forward to now, Martin O’Neill’s back at the helm, Celtic are back winning matches and we now face the closing months of the season with renewed optimism as a result.
O’Neill’s return isn’t a magic wand for the club’s various other problems, but his presence is a galvanising one, and if anyone can get us back on track – on and off the park – then MON may be the man for the job.
The backdrop of all of this of course is the ongoing January Transfer Window, which we’re now almost half way through. And while Julien Araujo’s loan arrival from Bournemouth is welcome there’s much to be done if we’re to give O’Nell the support needed to make a success of this campaign.
🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy & Asim as they cover the above and more in this latest Celtic Exchange Weekly.

Martin O'Neill is back - and so are Celtic wins!
The returning hero picked up exactly where he left off, guiding Celtic to a commanding 4–0 victory over Dundee United at Celtic Park.
O’Neill knows the scale of the task ahead as he targets retaining the Scottish Premiership title, but this emphatic performance and scoreline served as a timely warning to both Hearts and Rangers with Celtic now very much back in the conversation following recent defeats.
Four different goalscorers underlined the dominance, with Man of the Match Yang once again setting the tone by opening the scoring before the break 👀
Arne Engels, Benji Nygren and Daizen Maeda added further gloss, sending the crowd home happy, with fresh belief as to what the remainder of this season may bring.
🎙️ Join Tino & Paddy for the LIVE reaction as Celtic roar back into contention and the latest Martin O’Neill era begins anew.

Celtic are back in Scottish Premiership action for the first time since Martin O'Neill's return with a vital three points at stake against Dundee Utd.
The manager has some big calls to make as he aims to pick up a squad devoid of confidence following 6 losses in 8 under Wilfried Nancy, and it looks likely he'll revert back to a more traditional 4-3-3 style formation in the process.
New Bhoy Julian Araujo could feature in a re-shuffled defence but as kick off approaches it's looking unlikely any striking enforcements - Kyogo Furuhashi or otherwise - will land in time for this one.
🎙️ Join Tino & Greg LIVE* as they look ahead to this all important fixture as Celtic look to get back on track in the title race.

Today delivered yet another incredible chapter in Celtic’s season of chaos, as Wilfried Nancy became the shortest-serving manager in the club’s history - lasting just 32 days after arriving from Columbus Crew.
And if that wasn’t dramatic enough, news then broke DURING tonight’s recording that club legend Martin O’Neill is to return once again to steady the ship - for the second time this season.
Add the removal of Head of Football Operations Paul Tisdale into the mix and it’s been a truly remarkable day in what’s already been an astonishing campaign.
🎙️ Join a full house of Tino, James, Paddy and Mif as they break down all the fallout in the latest episode of Celtic Exchange Weekly.

Celtic started the New Year in the worst possible way as they fell to a 3-1 defeat to Rangers in the first derby of 2026.
Following a promising first half it was a case of same old, same old, as Wilfried Nancy's side struggled to get going in the second 45, losing 3 cheap goals in to the bargain!
The game also brought angry scenes inside and outside Celtic Park with many fans showing their frustration at this latest woeful episode.

Wilfried Nancy is under increasing pressure as Celtic manager but came out swinging in his pre match press conference ahead of the first derby of 2026.
If he's to see the next one then the thinking is that he'll need to return to winning ways ASAFP, starting with a home win again 3rd placed Rangers!
New Bhoy Julian Araujo goes straight in to the squad for Saturday's lunchtime kick off and will give the manager a further option in defence as he tries to navigate the most turbulent spell of his short managerial career so far.

Despite being in the role less than 4 weeks, Wilfried Nancy looks to be hanging on to his job by a thread following last night’s capitulation at the hands of Motherwell.
The loss is his 5th in just 7 games at the helm and it now feels a very long way back for the Frenchman if he’s to somehow make a success of his time in Glasgow.
Gone was the attacking intent that we’d seen glimpses of in recent games, replaced by a group of players who simply look lost under his guidance.
The defeat rounds off a miserable year all round for the club, with the 17th defeat of the calendar year epitomising just where we find ourselves at this moment in time.
🎙️ Join Tino & Asim for this one as they rake over the coals of Celtic’s final outing of 2025!

Celtic head into a huge week with the chance to close out 2025 on a high - starting with a crucial win against Motherwell - before ushering in the New Year with a derby showdown against Rangers.
Pulling off wins in both would be a major boost for Wilfried Nancy, as the Frenchman looks to rebuild belief among the support and guide us back to the top of the table after a challenging start to his reign.
Off the pitch, the January transfer window looms large. It’s a golden opportunity for the club to correct mistakes from recent windows - and, just as importantly, to show genuine backing for Nancy.
But will they act decisively? And will Paul Tisdale still be in place as Head of Football Operations to oversee what could be a defining month?
These next few weeks promise to be pivotal for Celtic, on and off the park.
🎙️ Join a full house of Tino, James, Mif & Paddy as they tackle all of this and more in the final Celtic Exchange Weekly of 2025.

Celtic make the short jaunt down the M8 to take on Livingston on Saturday and will be looking to build some momentum with another win ahead of further crucial festive fixtures.
Wilfried Nancy has some big calls to make, most notably in attack, and will have to decide whether or not to stick with misfiring Johnny Kenny or to make a change at No.9.
The Bhoys clocked up numerous chances against Aberdeen last weekend, and if we can create more of the same against Davie Martindale's struggling side then there's every chance we can return home with another vital 3 points.
🎙️ Join Tino & Brydo for this one as Celtic aim to maintain the pressure on Hearts at the top of the table in Matchday 18 of the Scottish Premiership season.

Celtic Supporters Ltd launched formally this week, and have now set out their stall in terms on how they're seeking to instigate a different way of doing things at Celtic during these turbulent times.
In their own words the group are looking to:
Accumulate share ownership and reconnect untraced shares with their rightful owners.
Activate supporters and shareholders who care deeply about Celtic and want a constructive credible way to engage.
Aggregate voting power so supporters can act together with legitimacy and purpose.
As a founding member of CSL, Duncan Smillie joined us in the studio to explain the new venture in detail, and to explain how they hope to achieve their goals - short, medium and long term.

In this special episode, Tino’s joined by Paul Murphy - the man who’s taken Celtic’s corner of YouTube by storm with a run of original, offbeat videos covering all things green and white.
A Belfast native, Paul made his first pilgrimage across the water to see Celtic at just three years old in the late ’90s - and he’s never looked back.
From catching games in the spare room on a dodgy satellite feed to earning gold stars in class for writing X-rated match reports, Paul’s Celtic story has it all. Like so many others, he's grown up with the club as the constant thread running through his life - and it’s that blend of nostalgia, obsession and humour that’s helped his content resonate far beyond Glasgow and Belfast.
In this wide ranging and slightly irreverent dive into the highs (mostly) and heartbreaks of a life supporting Celtic, we chat Martin O’Neill - "the man who changed everything" - being let down by Lubo, why El Hadj Diouf “pays the bills” in the Murphy household - and a whole lot more.
It’s a great conversation with a creator currently at the top of his game. If you’ve not checked him out already, make sure you find Paul on YouTube and Twitter (links below).

Wilfried Nancy registered his first win as Celtic manager at the weekend, and with 31 efforts on goal showed more signs of the attacking football we may be set to witness under his stewardship.
It’s been a rocky start for the Frenchman, and some defensive frailties have undoubtedly been exposed, but going forward there’s plenty to be excited about and if he can blend the two together then we could be on to a winner.
The nature of his opening few weeks however means we’re nudging forward on a game-to-game basis with many still unsure of his suitability for the role and the only thing he can do to convince the doubters is win games of football, with Livi next in the firing line this weekend.
Elsewhere we also look at the increasing influence Paul Tisdale has at the club and if – based on past performance – he’s the right guy to take us into one of our most important transfer windows in years!
🎙️ Join Tino, James, Mif & Paddy as they cover all of the above and more in the penultimate Celtic Exchange Weekly of the year.

Tonight brings a trip to Tannadice to face a Dundee United side grappling with their own problems - and Nancy will be desperate to take advantage on Tayside.
He’ll have to do it without Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha, both away on AFCON duty, as well as the injured Kelechi Iheanacho.
Predicting the starting XI feels almost impossible right now, but whatever the selection, the hope is the Bhoys can deliver the victory that finally kick-starts Nancy’s reign.
🎙️ Join Tino and Ryan for this one as they look ahead to a pivotal night at Tannadice for Celtic.

Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic reign couldn’t have got off to a worse start with three defeats from three in little more than a week in the job.
Bizarre as it may sound, it already feels like a long road back for the Frenchman, with some making an early call in writing off his chances of ever succeeding as Celtic manager.
But you don’t need to be watching too closely to see that Celtic’s problems run far deeper than the man in the dugout. We take a deeper dive into what’s really going wrong - and ask what, if anything, can be done to get the club back on track.
There’s little time to catch breath though, as the fixtures coming. Nancy’s next major test now awaits at Tannadice on Wednesday night.
🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy and Brydo as they unpack another turbulent week for Celtic in the latest episode of Celtic Exchange Weekly.

Just over a week into the job and already under pressure from various angles, Wilfried Nancy remarkably has the chance to win the first silverware of the season this weekend.
Brendan Rodgers began our League Cup journey, Martin O’Neill guided us through the semi-final win over Rangers, and now Nancy can finish the job as he makes his first trip to Hampden on Sunday to face St Mirren.
The Paisley side, as we know, are well drilled under Stevie Robinson and will be determined to spoil the party. Celtic, meanwhile, will be pushing to lift the trophy for what would be the 23rd time in our history.

As scorer of one of the two most important goals in Celtic's history, Tommy Gemmell has firmly secured his place in the Celtic history books. Voted by fans in Celtic's greatest ever XI, the marauding full back will forever be remembered as a Lisbon Lion but now a group from his hometown of Craigneuk want to ensure his legacy touches ever more lives with a special project in his name. The Tommy Gemmell Community Project aims to place a statue of the great man in the town but - as stated by the group themselves - the project is "more than a statue". In the words of Tommy's friend Martin McCrum, founder of the project its an endeavour which will "signify hope, inspiration and motivation" in Tommy's community and beyond. A lasting legacy to one of Celtic's greatest sons. We were delighted to be joined at Celtic Exchange by Martin and by Tommy's wife Mary as they shared the passion that's been driving this incredible project to new heights. 🍀 Fans who'd like to support the project and follow the progress can do so at the website below or by following "Tommy Gemmell Community Project" on social media. 🔗 https://tommygemmellcp.co.uk/

It was a bruising night for Celtic as Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma left Glasgow with a 3-0 win on Europa League Matchday 6.
Wilfried Nancy named an unchanged XI as he chased the kind of result that could ignite his Celtic tenure, but that wait goes on. Up against the Serie A high-flyers, the Bhoys couldn’t find the spark they needed.
After a particularly difficult first half, a triple substitution at the break brought some improvement, but it’s clear there’s still plenty of work ahead if Nancy is to steer his side toward winning form.
The defeat leaves our Europa League hopes hanging in the balance, with focus now shifting quickly to Sunday’s League Cup Final against St Mirren.

At time of writing Wilfried Nancy has been in Glasgow for less than a week, but it must feel like a lifetime for the Frenchman given the noise since Sunday's loss to Hearts.
Thankfully the man himself seems well able to drown out the noise and accepted in his pre match press conference that it's all part of the job.
Another part of the job of course is getting results and he'll be hoping he can claim just that against Roma as they come calling at Celtic Park in Europa League action.
It's only Game Two for Nancy, but already it feels like a biggie.
