Celtic 1-3 Ferencváros — another damaging European night at Celtic Park as the same tactical problems surface again. Paul and Chris give their full-time reaction after Celtic lose their Europa League opener, just four days after the 3-0 defeat at Ibrox. Celtic started brightly but quickly lost control of the game, with familiar problems appearing both in and out of possession. Defensive errors, poor positioning, a lack of structure without the ball and an inability to manage difficult periods once again left Celtic exposed. We discuss Liam Scales’ performance, Cameron Carter-Vickers’ difficult night, Callum McGregor’s role, James Forrest emerging as one of the few positives and why Celtic continue to look like a team without a clear identity. There’s also a wider discussion about recruitment, Martin O’Neill’s tactical approach, Celtic’s inability to change games effectively and why simply signing a defensive midfielder won’t solve the deeper structural issues. Three of Celtic’s biggest tests this season — away to LASK, away to Rangers and now Ferencváros at home — have produced 11 goals conceded and just two scored. With Rangers visiting Celtic Park on Sunday, where does the reaction come from? 🍀 In this episode: • Celtic 1-3 Ferencváros reaction • Another damaging European defeat • Celtic’s lack of defensive structure • Liam Scales and Carter-Vickers struggle • Why Celtic are too easy to play against • The recurring problems from LASK and Ibrox • Celtic’s lack of a clear style or identity • Callum McGregor’s role questioned • James Forrest the standout Celtic performer • Why Celtic can’t manage difficult periods • The problem with changing formation • Duran and Høgh together • Celtic’s summer recruitment questioned • Martin O’Neill’s in-game management • Can Celtic respond against Rangers?

Celtic return to action just four days after the damaging defeat at Ibrox as Martin O’Neill’s side begin their Europa League campaign against Ferencváros. But this is about much more than simply bouncing back from one bad result. In today’s Starting XI Prediction, we look at the tactical problems that have repeatedly surfaced in Celtic’s biggest games this season — from the Champions League defeat against LASK to Sunday’s performance at Ibrox. What is Celtic’s actual style of play? Are the team caught between playing out from the back and Martin O’Neill’s more direct approach? And do the current squad have the characteristics required to execute either system effectively? We discuss Celtic’s problems in possession, the inability to play through pressure, Kasper Høgh’s role, the lack of support around the striker, the midfield’s defensive vulnerabilities and the bigger issue of a team that increasingly looks like a collection of individuals rather than a coherent unit. There are also major Starting XI decisions to make, including Sam Johnstone or Sinisalo in goal, Trusty or Scales at centre-back, whether Oliver Sørensen should come into midfield and how Celtic structure the attack around Camilo Duran, Hassan and Kasper Høgh. Can Celtic respond against Ferencváros and begin fixing the tactical problems that have already cost them in the biggest games this season? 🍀 In this episode: • Celtic v Ferencváros preview • Celtic Starting XI Prediction • Reaction to the tactical problems exposed at Ibrox • Why Celtic look caught between two styles • Problems playing out from the back • Why the direct approach isn’t working either • Kasper Høgh being used incorrectly • Celtic’s inability to press effectively • Why the midfield keeps getting exposed • Concerns over Celtic’s in-game management • Does this team have a clear identity? • Sam Johnstone or Sinisalo? • Trusty returns to the predicted XI • Oliver Sørensen into midfield? • Nygren’s defensive contribution questioned • Duran, Hassan and Høgh in attack • Why formation changes alone won’t fix Celtic Let us know your Starting XI for Ferencváros and what tactical changes you want to see from Celtic.

Rangers 3-0 Celtic — a disastrous afternoon at Ibrox as Celtic crash out of the League Cup after being comprehensively second best. Paul, Callum and Darren react from Malone’s Glasgow after a performance that raised major questions about Martin O’Neill’s team selection, Celtic’s tactical identity and the recurring problems against the ball that have already been exposed in Europe this season. Celtic struggled from the opening minutes, repeatedly inviting pressure by playing backwards, making unforced errors in possession and failing to cope with Rangers through midfield. We discuss the controversial decision not to start Hassan, Sam Johnstone’s difficult afternoon, Celtic’s lack of defensive structure and why the problems go far beyond individual mistakes. After the collapse in Austria earlier this season, was this really another wake-up call — or further evidence of problems that Celtic have failed to address? With Rangers coming to Celtic Park next weekend, Martin O’Neill now has major decisions to make. 🍀 In this episode: • Rangers 3-0 Celtic reaction • Celtic crash out of the League Cup • Why Celtic were second best at Ibrox • Martin O’Neill’s starting XI questioned • The decision to leave Hassan out • Sam Johnstone’s nightmare afternoon • Celtic’s repeated mistakes playing from the back • Does this Celtic team have a clear identity? • Why Celtic are so vulnerable through midfield • Callum McGregor’s role questioned • Celtic’s failure to react tactically • Rangers exploiting Celtic’s weaknesses • Why Kasper Høgh isn’t being used to his strengths • Duran’s best position • Celtic’s lack of defensive midfield options • What must change before next weekend’s derby?

Celtic travel to Ibrox for a huge League Cup quarter-final against Rangers — with no away supporters inside the stadium and major selection decisions facing Martin O’Neill. In today’s Starting XI Prediction, we look at how Celtic should approach the first of a domestic double-header against Rangers, with the league meeting at Celtic Park following just seven days later. Celtic’s recent form has remained strong in terms of results, but there are still questions around the team’s defensive structure, particularly against the ball and through midfield. After the collapse in Austria and some open moments in recent domestic games, can Celtic tighten things up enough for a high-pressure derby at Ibrox? We also discuss Celtic’s record at Ibrox without away supporters, why the first goal could be crucial, Sam Johnstone’s chances of keeping his place in goal, the Trusty v Scales decision, Martin O’Neill’s midfield dilemma and what Celtic’s new-look front three could be. 🍀 In this episode: • Rangers v Celtic League Cup quarter-final preview • Celtic Starting XI Prediction • No away supporters at Ibrox • Celtic’s record at Ibrox with zero away fans • Why the first goal could be massive • Celtic’s recent form assessed • Concerns about Celtic against the ball • Can Celtic avoid being exposed through midfield? • Sam Johnstone or Sinisalo in goal? • Trusty v Scales at centre-back • Kieran Tierney returns • McGregor, Nygren, Baur or Oxlade-Chamberlain? • Why midfield is the biggest selection headache • Can Celtic press Rangers effectively? • Duran, Hassan and Kasper Høgh • Celtic’s threat on the counter attack • Martin O’Neill’s biggest team selection decisions Let us know your predicted Celtic XI and scoreline in the comments.

Celtic make it four wins from four after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St Johnstone in Perth - but it was far from convincing. We react at full-time as Martin O’Neill’s much-changed Celtic side struggle to find their rhythm, particularly during a flat first half, before eventually finding the breakthrough after the interval. There were valuable minutes for several new and returning players, but plenty to discuss around Celtic’s lack of intensity, the press, how easily St Johnstone were able to play through midfield and whether the team is ready for the bigger tests ahead. We also look ahead to Sunday’s huge game against Rangers, the major selection decisions facing O’Neill and which players have done enough to force their way into the starting XI.

Celtic travel to Perth to face St Johnstone as Martin O’Neill’s side look to make it six wins from six in the Scottish Premiership. With Yang away on international duty, Kieran Tierney and Kasper Høgh returning to training and several new signings pushing for minutes, there are some big selection decisions ahead of Wednesday night. In this Starting XI Prediction, Paul looks at Celtic’s strongest team right now, whether Høgh comes straight back into the side, if Emil Durán could move to the left, the battle for places in midfield and whether Tierney should be risked ahead of Sunday’s League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox. We also look at St Johnstone’s start to the season, Celtic’s defensive vulnerabilities in transition and why tomorrow’s game has to come before any thoughts of Rangers. Who would you start in Perth?

Celtic come from behind to beat St Mirren 2-1 in Paisley and maintain their perfect start to the Scottish Premiership season. Paul and Darren give their full-time reaction after a dramatic night at St Mirren Park, where Celtic trailed 1-0 at half-time before Liam Scales headed home the equaliser and Yang completed the comeback with the winning goal. We discuss a brilliant performance from Yang, Camilo Duran’s role in the winner, Celtic’s character after going behind and the threat St Mirren posed throughout an open and difficult game. There’s also plenty of discussion around the officiating and VAR, including Celtic’s disallowed first-half goal, the lengthy delay before the second half and the bizarre circumstances surrounding a late Celtic goal being ruled out after the referee was sent to the monitor. We also assess Hassan’s performance, Oliver Sørensen’s cameo, the impact of Celtic’s substitutions and how Martin O’Neill might reshape the attack when Yang departs. 🍀 In this episode: • St Mirren 1-2 Celtic full-time reaction • Celtic come from behind in Paisley • Liam Scales makes amends with the equaliser • Yang scores the winner • Why Yang was Celtic’s Man of the Match • Camilo Duran’s work for the winning goal • Celtic’s disallowed goals and VAR controversy • What happened with the late VAR check? • St Mirren’s threat on the counter attack • Colby Donovan’s difficult first half • Hassan’s end product questioned • Oliver Sørensen’s Celtic cameo • What Celtic do when Yang departs • Celtic maintain their perfect league start Let us know your Man of the Match and your thoughts on the performance in the comments.

Celtic travel to Paisley to face St Mirren in a top-of-the-table Scottish Premiership clash — but there’s plenty to discuss before a ball is kicked. In today’s Starting XI Prediction, we look at Celtic’s team selection for the trip to St Mirren, the latest injury situation, the new signings pushing for minutes and Martin O’Neill’s big decisions ahead of a demanding run of fixtures. We also discuss the SPFL decision to ban away supporters from all Celtic v Rangers fixtures this season, including the upcoming cup tie, and whether removing away fans is really the best long-term solution for one of football’s biggest derbies. There’s also reaction to Celtic’s Europa League squad, with three new signings omitted. Joel van den Berg’s absence can perhaps be explained by his age and development pathway, but the left-back situation is far more concerning with Kieran Tierney injured and Landon Emenalo unavailable and left out of the European squad. Can Celtic maintain their perfect league start in Paisley? 🍀 In this episode: • St Mirren v Celtic preview • Celtic Starting XI Prediction • Away fans banned from Celtic v Rangers fixtures • Why the derby allocation situation has reached this point • Celtic’s Europa League squad omissions • Joel van den Berg left out • The major concern at left-back • Kieran Tierney injury latest • Landon Emenalo still unavailable • Sam Johnstone or Sinisalo in goal? • Will Jordan Lotomba make his Celtic debut? • Celtic’s midfield options • Oxlade-Chamberlain, McGregor and Nygren • Yang’s Departure to Asian Games • Camilo Duran leading the line • Celtic looking to maintain their perfect Premiership start Let us know your predicted Celtic XI and scoreline in the comments.

Celtic’s summer transfer window is officially over — so how should we assess the club’s business after 10 new arrivals, major departures and another Champions League qualification failure? Paul and Stuart review the entire Celtic transfer window, focusing on the striking difference between the first four signings of the summer and the six players brought in during the final 24 hours of European registration. The early arrivals appeared to signal a more targeted recruitment strategy: younger players, strong first-team experience, Champions League pedigree and significant resale potential. But after Celtic’s exit against LASK, the profile changed dramatically as loan deals, inexperienced prospects and short-term solutions arrived late in the window. We discuss whether that represents sensible adaptation or another example of Celtic being underprepared when it mattered most. There’s also a detailed look at the finances. Celtic spent approximately £32.5m including potential add-ons, but major sales including Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda and others pushed outgoing transfer income towards £47m — leaving the club once again in a substantial transfer profit despite significant cash reserves. Was this the summer Celtic finally modernised their recruitment? Or did another promising start ultimately fall victim to the same problems around timing, structure and ambition? 🍀 In this episode: • Reviewing all 10 Celtic summer signings • The major difference between the first four and final six arrivals • Camilo Duran’s huge early impact • Kasper Høgh and Celtic’s improved attacking options • Why the post-LASK recruitment looked completely different • Celtic’s midfield rebuild • Did Celtic properly replace Arne Engels and Daizen Maeda? • Approximately £32.5m spent versus £47m received • Why Celtic remain in transfer profit • Should Celtic have spent more before the Champions League qualifiers? • The failure to properly strengthen before facing LASK • Celtic’s long-running defensive midfield problem • Why Callum McGregor succession planning matters • Is Celtic’s recruitment structure still outdated? • Does the club need a sporting director? • Recruitment quality rated out of 10 • Squad management rated out of 10 • Timing and planning rated out of 10 • Financial ambition rated out of 10 • Our final Celtic transfer-window score Let us know your own rating for Celtic’s summer transfer window in the comments — and score the club on recruitment quality, squad management, timing and planning, and financial ambition.

Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen reaction from Celtic Park as the Hoops maintain their perfect start to the Scottish Premiership season with another convincing victory. We break down Celtic’s performance, the goals and the standout individual displays as Martin O’Neill’s side comfortably see off Aberdeen. Camilo Durán continues to impress with his energy, movement and intelligent play through the middle, while Haissem Hassan once again showed the direct running and one-v-one ability that makes him such an exciting option in Celtic’s attack. We also discuss Yang’s performance before his departure for the Asian Games, the growing competition for places in midfield, Oliver Sørensen making his Celtic debut and how the new arrivals could reshape the starting XI over the coming weeks. With Sam Johnstone also arriving and further transfer business expected before the deadline, Celtic suddenly have significantly more competition throughout the squad.

Celtic face Aberdeen at Celtic Park as they look to maintain their 100% start to the Scottish Premiership season — but much of the attention is on a frantic final 24 hours of transfer business. We discuss Celtic’s late transfer activity following the arrival of Oliver Sørensen, with Joel van den Berg expected to follow and deals involving Gvidas Gineitis, Sam Johnstone and Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka also discussed. Is this targeted recruitment Celtic desperately needs, or another example of panic stations at the end of the transfer window?

Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action against Falkirk as we predict the starting XI for tomorrow’s game at Celtic Park. Before looking ahead to Falkirk, we reflect on Celtic’s devastating Champions League exit against LASK and what the collapse says about the team tactically, mentally and in terms of where Celtic currently stand in Europe. We also react to Celtic’s Europa League draw, discuss the impact Champions League elimination could have on the club’s transfer plans, and look at the key areas that still need strengthened before the transfer window closes. Attention then turns to Falkirk, the fitness of Callum McGregor and others following Tuesday night, and the changes Martin O’Neill could make to his starting XI.

Celtic could be closing in on another major summer signing, with 21-year-old Bosnia midfielder *Ermin Mahmić* linked with an €8m move from Slovan Liberec. We look at what Mahmić could bring to Celtic, why his profile fits the club’s changing recruitment strategy and whether he could ultimately be viewed as a long-term successor to Benjamin Nygren. After starring for Bosnia at the World Cup and scoring eight goals at club level last season, Mahmić looks to fit the pattern of Celtic targeting younger, first-team ready players with significant potential and resale value. We also reflect on Celtic’s superb *3-0 Champions League win over LASK*, the performances of Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Mika Baur, and why qualification for the Champions League could provide the ultimate validation of this summer’s recruitment. Has there been a genuine change in Celtic’s transfer strategy? From Kasper Høgh and Camilo Duran to Mika Baur and Hassan, Celtic are now spending bigger fees on players expected to immediately improve the starting XI rather than continually gambling on cheaper development projects. There is still work to be done before the window closes — particularly at goalkeeper and across the defence — but are we finally seeing a more ambitious Celtic in the transfer market? 🍀 *In this video:* • Ermin Mahmić to Celtic latest • What Mahmić could bring to Celtic • Celtic’s changing transfer strategy • Reaction to Celtic 3-0 LASK • Camilo Duran & Benjamin Nygren shine • Why Mika Baur has impressed • The positions Celtic still need to strengthen • First-team ready signings vs development projects • Celtic’s player trading model • Why Champions League qualification matters Let us know your thoughts below — would Ermin Mahmić be another statement signing, and are you happy with Celtic’s recruitment so far this summer? **CHAPTERS** 00:00 Is Ermin Mahmić closing in on Celtic move? 01:40 What could Mahmić bring to Celtic? 04:46 Reflecting on Celtic 3-0 LASK 08:16 Why Champions League qualification is huge 10:31 Has Celtic’s recruitment strategy changed? 14:48 How much more business do Celtic need? 17:44 The new Celtic player-trading model 20:27 Does Champions League qualification validate the recruitment? 👍 LIKE the video 💬 COMMENT with your thoughts on Celtic’s transfer business 🍀 SUBSCRIBE for Celtic transfer news, Champions League coverage and match reaction throughout the season. #Celtic #CelticFC #CelticTransferNews #ErminMahmić #ChampionsLeague #CelticFansTV Learn more about your ad choices.

Celtic take a huge step towards the Champions League with a brilliant *3-0 win over LASK at Celtic Park* in the first leg of the play-off. We react to one of Celtic’s best European performances in recent years, with *Camilo Duran producing a sensational display*, Benjamin Nygren continuing his outstanding start to the season and Martin O’Neill’s side taking a commanding advantage to Austria. After surviving a couple of early scares, Celtic grew into the game and produced a performance full of attacking intent, intensity and quality. Nygren opened the scoring with a superb strike before Duran took over, scoring twice and delivering an all-action performance that earned him a standing ovation from Celtic Park. We also discuss another impressive showing from *Mika Baur*, Colby Donovan stepping up on a huge European night, Kasper Høgh’s contribution despite not scoring and the tactical changes that have transformed Celtic’s attacking play. The tie isn’t finished yet — but with a three-goal advantage and genuine firepower throughout the team, Celtic have put themselves in a fantastic position ahead of the second leg. 🍀 *In this video:* • Celtic 3-0 LASK reaction • Camilo Duran’s sensational performance • Benjamin Nygren’s stunning opener • Celtic’s new attacking identity • Mika Baur impresses in midfield • Colby Donovan steps up in Europe • Kasper Høgh’s influence on the attack • Why Celtic look transformed this season • Can Celtic finish the job in Austria? • Man of the Match Let us know your thoughts on the performance and your Man of the Match in the comments below. *CHAPTERS* 00:00 Celtic 3-0 LASK reaction 01:37 Nygren’s stunning opener 03:25 Camilo Duran steals the show 06:17 Mika Baur & Celtic’s new midfield 07:14 Colby Donovan steps up 08:46 Is the tie already won? 09:44 Celtic’s tactical transformation 10:17 Man of the Match 👍 LIKE the video 💬 COMMENT with your Man of the Match 🍀 SUBSCRIBE for Celtic news, Champions League coverage, match previews and full-time reaction throughout the season. #Celtic #CelticFC #LASK #ChampionsLeague #CelticPark #CelticFansTV Learn more about your ad choices.

Celtic begin a potentially season-defining seven days as LASK visit Celtic Park for the first leg of the Champions League play-off. We look ahead to *Celtic v LASK* with our predicted starting XI and the major selection decisions facing Martin O’Neill ahead of one of the biggest games of the season. With Arne Engels gone, Alistair Johnston injured and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suspended, could new signing Mika Baur be handed his first Celtic Park start alongside Callum McGregor and Benjamin Nygren? We also look at Colby Donovan’s huge test at right-back, the Carter-Vickers and Trusty partnership, and how Celtic’s increasingly dangerous attack could exploit the Austrian champions. Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Kasper Høgh have all made encouraging starts to the season — and after Celtic’s Champions League qualifying failures in recent years, having genuine goals throughout the team could make all the difference. 🍀 *In this video:* • Celtic v LASK Champions League preview • Celtic predicted starting XI • Mika Baur set for a huge opportunity? • Who replaces Arne Engels in midfield? • Colby Donovan’s biggest Celtic test • Carter-Vickers, Trusty & the Celtic defence • Benjamin Nygren’s excellent early-season form • Camilo Duran continues to impress • How Celtic can get the best from Kasper Høgh • Why Celtic must take a lead to Austria Can Celtic make home advantage count and put themselves in control of the tie before next week’s second leg?

Celtic face Austrian champions LASK in the Champions League play-off, with a place in the league phase on the line over two huge games. We’re joined by Austrian football expert and UEFA reporter Tom Baumgartner-Middler for an in-depth look at LASK ahead of Wednesday night’s first leg at Celtic Park. After winning the Austrian league and cup double last season, LASK have started the new campaign strongly and arrive in Glasgow with confidence.

We react to **Dundee United 0-4 Celtic**, discussing another impressive attacking performance, the impact of Celtic’s new signings and the growing signs that this team is beginning to click.

We also look at Kasper Høgh’s influence on Celtic’s attack, Duran’s impressive energy and pressing, the growing relationship between Høgh and Nygren, and the midfield and defensive decisions facing Martin O’Neill ahead of Wednesday night’s huge European tie.

Kilmarnock 1-5 Celtic full-time reaction from Rugby Park as Kasper Høgh scores a stunning first-half hat-trick and Celtic produce their best performance of the new Scottish Premiership season. After a laboured 1-0 win over Dundee, this was a completely different Celtic performance. The movement, intensity and attacking play were far sharper, with Høgh at the centre of everything. Celtic’s record signing showed exactly why the club spent big to bring him in. Three goals inside the penalty area, intelligent movement, excellent hold-up play and an immediate connection with the Celtic support — could Kasper Høgh be the striker who transforms this team? We discuss Høgh’s hat-trick, Celtic’s improved midfield performance, a much better showing from Arne Engels and another impressive display from Kieran Tierney. Alistair Johnston was also a constant attacking threat from right-back, while Camilo Duran showed further encouraging signs as Celtic’s attacking options begin to take shape. Despite the emphatic scoreline, there are still concerns around squad depth. Celtic’s starting XI looked strong, but the drop-off after substitutions highlighted why further transfer business is still required ahead of the Champions League qualifiers. Can Celtic build on this performance? Have they finally found the striker they’ve been missing? And how many more players need to arrive before the transfer window closes?
