Ross Hall and me recorded a podcast this evening about the Hearts game that morphed into a discussion about recruitment and where it may have gone wrong (and that pod will be up for Subcribers this week). We finish the pod.Ross goes off to read badtime stories and I go to make a cup tea. Then what starts as a trickle of whatsapps from informed friends soon turns into an avalanche and at 9:44pm Celtic release a statement confirming the departure of Brendan. Then at 9:59pm we have the personal statement of our 34% shareholder and goodness gracious me!!!!Anyway, after stories and a cuppa, Ross and I jumped back on for this emergency podcast.Brendan’s gone.Wow!Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

Alan Rough - where do we start.For younger listeners he’s the light hearted pundit. For older listeners he’s the afro’d keeper of the ill-faited Argentina 78 World Cup campaign and for many he’s just Thistle’s keeper.Some will have that memory of his brief time in goals for Celtic but did you know it could have been a much longer spell between the Celtic sticks is Jock Stein had got his way and Roughie would have loved that. Roughie wanted to play for Celtic.Here’s Andrew and Alan Rough in conversation.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

After arriving late because I was watching my mate come 4th for over 55s in the Glasgow Half Marathon, I made my own mad dash across the city to watch our beloved hoops and good ness I wasn’t expecting that!A goal in the first half of a game. Conceeding 2 goals to go behind and then coming from behind to score including an injury time winner. Gotta love football.Also, there was the unusual sight of an anti-board banner in the main stand. It was facing out towards the main stand and not the board who would have been around 6 ft away.We won. Magic.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutubeThe Celtic Underground Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Brendan Rodgers PresserBox office Brendan. There’s no other way to describe today’s press conference. If you get the chance there’s the wee nods and winks. He know what he’s doing and this is explosive.The coub should do better in transfer windows.After the window he wasn’t angry, he just felt empty.The story in The Sun last Saturday was cowardly. He know who did it.He works closely with Michael, Dermot & Chris. Michael & Chris are great guys who work every day for the betterment of Celtic. He knows who wrote the story. Michael & Dermot are good guys who he works closely with….are you getting the picture.I (Harry) got to ask the final question.Should the person who leaked the story to The Sun resign - “There’s no doubt!”Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

Nothing happened at Ibrox. It was a nothing game. Nothing happened in the window. We signed one player of Celtic quality. And yet out of this nothingness the bhoys manage to create a 1-hour podcast.Numbed by inaction, the bhoys sound more resigned than angry. Ross sets out why he believes the Head of Football Operations should take responsibility and Harry points the finger at the largest shareholder behaving like the owner and making executive decisions.Tuesday 2nd September is the meeting of the Celtic Trust - Grace’s Candleriggs, 7pm.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.
