Match Reaction - Celtic 0-1 Rangers

The international break gives Darren, Tony and Andy plenty of time to take a step back and ask some big questions about Celtic.First up, Martin O’Neill looks set to remain in the Celtic dugout despite a difficult month. Is sticking with O’Neill the right call, or should the club have used the international break to take matters out of his hands and begin the search for a replacement?The latest financial figures are also under the microscope – and they make for some pretty grim reading, with a number of key figures heading in the wrong direction. But while the numbers tumble, where is the accountability? We discuss why there appears to be so little consequence for those at the top of the club, including CEO Michael Nicholson and CFO Chris McKay, when it comes to the financial and strategic direction of Celtic.And then there’s Brendan Rodgers.The former Celtic manager is set to return to Glasgow next June, around a year and a half after his dramatic departure last October. We look at the live event he’ll be taking part in, what might be said, and whether we could be in for an awkward – or revealing – reunion given the criticism aimed at Rodgers’ character and professionalism following his departure.Three Tims, plenty of opinions, and a lot to discuss. It’s another big Celtic conversation on 4 Tims and a Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tony and Andy are back with a full match reaction after another miserable European performance sees Celtic beaten 3-1 at home by Ferencváros.Where did it all go wrong? From the performance on the pitch to the tactics, mentality and decision-making, the lads dissect another night where Celtic simply weren't good enough when it mattered.We also ask the big question: is time now up for Martin O'Neill and his coaching team? Is there still a way back, or are Celtic staring at the need for a major change in direction?And if things weren't bad enough, attention now turns to Sunday's derby against Rangers. Three defeats in the space of a week is suddenly a very real possibility — so how on earth do Celtic respond?Can the Bhoys pick themselves up, produce a reaction and turn the mood around at Celtic Park? Or could Sunday lunchtime bring another painful chapter?Tony and Andy look ahead to the showdown, discuss what Celtic need to change, and, of course, give their predictions for Sunday's derby.🎙️ Another European disaster. Another huge debate. One massive derby on the horizon.This is 4 Tims and a Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s another miserable afternoon at Ibrox for Celtic as the Hoops crash out of the League Cup in humiliating fashion, going down 3-0 to Derek McInnes’ Rangers side in a performance that leaves far more questions than answers.Darren, Tony, Danny and Andy get stuck into the shambles from start to finish — from the baffling team selection to another big-game capitulation. Why was Sebastian Tounekti handed a starting place despite a string of uninspiring performances this season, while big-money signing Haissem Hassam was left on the bench amid reports he had barely slept?And in a performance where almost nobody covered themselves in glory, was young right-back Colby Donovan the only Celtic player who could walk off that pitch with anything approaching pass marks?But the biggest question is the one Celtic fans are asking: who is actually to blame?Is it manager Martin O’Neill? Is the coaching setup failing the team? Are the players simply not good enough when the pressure is on — with captain Callum McGregor once again struggling to make an impact in a major game? Or does the ultimate responsibility sit with the Celtic Board Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

4 Tims and a Podcast | Comeback Kings in Paisley! 🍀Darren and Tony are back to dissect a dramatic evening in Paisley as Martin O’Neill’s Celtic side came from behind to beat St Mirren 2-1 and stretch their lead at the top of the table!We start with the nightmare moment that put the Celts on the back foot — Liam Scales’ inexcusable handball gifting St Mirren a penalty, which the hosts duly converted. But was that the only controversial decision of the evening? We also examine the VAR call that ruled out a Camilo Duran equaliser and ask whether Celtic were on the wrong end of another questionable decision.Then came the second-half turnaround. Scales redeemed himself in style, rising highest to power home a header from a corner and restore parity. And with Celtic pushing for the winner, star man Camilo Duran produced another moment of quality, slipping a superb pass through to the impressive Yang, who coolly finished to complete the comeback!But with Yang now heading off on international duty with South Korea for the next month, just how big a miss will the Korean star be? Who steps up in his absence — and who has what it takes to fill his boots?Finally, we look ahead to the midweek trip to Perth to face newly promoted St Johnstone. Can the Celts maintain their 100% league record, make it another three points and keep the rest of the pack chasing their tails?🎙️ On this episode:St Mirren 1-2 Celtic — breaking down the comebackLiam Scales’ costly handball and penaltyThe controversial VAR decision to rule out Duran’s equaliserScales’ redemption with a crucial headerCamilo Duran’s brilliance and Yang’s winning finishHow big a miss will Yang be for Celtic?Who can replace the Korean star?Previewing Celtic’s trip to St JohnstoneCan the Celts maintain their 100% league record?Another comeback.

3-0, New Signings but was it a case of Panic Buying?Darren and Tony are back to look back on a scintillating evening at Celtic Park as Celtic swept Aberdeen aside 3-0, putting the game to bed with a superb first-half performance.The lads break down what went right for Celtic, the standout performances and whether this was a glimpse of the attacking football supporters have been waiting to see.They also turn their attention to the transfer window, which has now slammed shut after Celtic brought in 10 new players — but with six arriving in the final 48 hours, the big question is whether the club has genuinely strengthened the squad or simply resorted to panic recruitment.Were the first four signings the blueprint for smart, targeted recruitment, while the late additions were rushed decisions?

Was it the response Celtic needed after the humiliating European result last week, or are there still plenty of concerns lurking beneath the surface?We then turn our attention to the transfer window, with Celtic heading towards Thursday’s deadline having completed just four new signings this summer. We discuss the latest rumours, the positions that still need strengthening, and whether Martin O'Neill and the Celtic board can finally get some more business over the line.With the deadline fast approaching, how many more players will Celtic actually sign — if any? And will the club leave supporters satisfied or frustrated once the window slams shut?All that, plus plenty of debate, opinions and the usual Celtic chat, on this week’s 4 Tims and a Podcast! 🍀 Hosted on Acast.
