It's not as downbeat an episode as you would expect. We asked the Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to give his thoughts on Sunday's shitshow, as the WhatsApp group content suggested the three usual members of the pod's flying column would just have screamed into the void for an hour. There's still a bit of that, and there are some concerns about where we go from here but hopefully Sunday is a wake-up call for a lot of people. We still manage to find an avian RGC of the week that prompts an idea for an actual RGC mascot. Davie developed some sound issues halfway through the record which hopefully won't be too much of a distraction Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

It's the usual lineup for this episode, and it's a busy one. Chris returns refreshed and invigorated from his holidays; Paul pitches up an utter shambles after a weekend on the gargle. We cover why we will never be the number 1 Celtic podcast, look back at the Aberdeen and St Mirren games, with Chris doing most of the heavy lifting on the "reasons". There are two games this week: Chris and Paul will be in Perth for the St Johnstone game and then there's the game against "thaym" on Sunday that we discuss. Obviously, we reflect on the news that augurs well for Greggs Q4 results. We have our last chat about the transfer window until December at least to round off the football chat. We then reflect on the dangers of granting people access to your Ticketmaster account, and the RGC is a football "influencer" who gets a shoeing on TikTok Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

A new voice on the pod this week. Chris in Belfast, Davie living his best life and Paddy Hoey laid low with the flu meant we asked Britain's number 32 tennis player, Keith Murray, to join us tonight. We discussed Saturday's game, what appears to be shaping up to be another transfer-window shitshow, and briefly previewed the next two games. The conversation then turned to the next generation of Celtic fans and Keith shared his experience and frustration as a father of two young boys whose chances of getting "the bug" are severely restricted. I think a lot of fans will sympathise, and we pose the question is anyone at board level aware of the issue? There's a unanimous RGC of the week, and I am sure it won't surprise any of you Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

After the LASK shambles, your host and Paul are in their usual seats to discuss the game. Chris decided to lock himself in a bothy in the Hebrides, so we had to bring in The Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to cast his trained eye over the shi*show that was the defeat in Austria. Worryingly, the trained eye reveals that it was even worse than you thought, so as you can imagine, this is not an upbeat episode, and there is very little in the way of positivity. We are currently in negotiations to make this episode available as a potential penance for Saturday confessions at West of Scotland chapels. Despite the downbeat tone, we reckon it's still a good listen, and there's a unanimous RGC this week Onward and upwards There was an issue with the initial upload hopefully Take 2 will take care of that issue Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

It started with a message in the WhatsApp group: "There's been a purchase from JD Sports, but who for Kammy?" It ended with some spectacular grassing and an unconvincing attempt at an explanation, and that's before we got onto the events of the last week. There's a review of the game at the weekend, a look forward to the CL qualifiers, plus a discussion on transfer business. There is some positivity in that we're somewhat prepared but we should be in a better position. That said, we are confident we will get past LASK. We got a bit of a scouting report on Hassan from Sid Lowe that we can't broadcast, but it's generally positive. The RGC is an old "friend" who narrowly edges out another outstanding candidate. As always, thanks for your support Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

As you can imagine, there is something of a change in mood compared to last week's pod. It's a broadly upbeat recording with a soupcon of giddiness. Oddly enough, a convincing 90-minute performance, giving Neil McCann a bad day at the office, plus the potential emergence of a new hero will do that to men of a certain age. Obviously, events in Govan on Sunday are discussed and enjoyed, and we take some pleasure from the undoubted discomfort that Derek McKlopp felt at full time. Of course, it wouldn't be an RGC pod if there wasn't a degree of moaning, and that is largely centred around potential transfer activity both inwards and outwards. There's some concern about who might go and concern about what is likely to come in. Still, it was a great weekend, so let's enjoy it. As far as the RGC goes, it's an AGM that provides a worthy recipient of the RGC of The Week Award sponsored by High Performance Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

It stays the same. Our man in the east was unavailable, so it was only right that we arranged for The Fenian Red Adair (© T Grieg) AKA Davie Farrell, to step in. We review Monday night's game, and it's not particularly uplifting. Davie casts doubt over our defensive strategy at set pieces in particular, plus he is very concerned about physical and match fitness. Our attention then turns to the transfer window and our strategy (no laughing at the back), or more accurately, lack of strategy. It's not an upbeat episode, so you have been warned. We have the same board, the same management team and largely the same players, so why would we be upbeat? Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

We're back for season 26/27, and we're as positive and upbeat as ever... Actually, there is a bit of truth in that statement, as we're not as grumpy in this episode as you'd expect. Only because we are still clinging on to a slim hope that it might all turn out right in the end. We discuss summer musical highlights so far. Discuss our transfer activity so far (No laughing at the back, please) and what might transpire in the coming weeks. We discuss our realistic expectations for the season ahead, which leads us nicely into a discussion about NAP. This was prompted by a listener email, incidentally. The first RGC of the season is announced, and Chris stumbles on an idea that may yet see the three of us on Dragon's Den As always, thanks for listening Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

A bit of a one-off episode this. We asked (Dr) Paddy Hoey onto the pod to talk about a book about football, This Is Our Game. It's a collection of writing from fans in the great football cities around the world, and Paddy wrote the chapter on Glasgow. It's a great read and available here https://www.augustbooks.co/books/this-is-our-game-joel-rookwood-and-daniel-fieldsend/ Paddy is great value, and for those who have an interest in football around the world, it sounds like a great read. We then make the error of asking Paddy for his thoughts on last season and the summer so far. Needless to say, the mood of the recording takes a turn for the worse. We will be recording another season preview episode later in the week so hopefully there will be some movement to give us cause for optimism for the season ahead.

The plan was to hold off on recording an episode until the full managerial team was confirmed. However, nothing involving the Celtic board is ever straightforward or professional, so we decided we could at least have a chat about Martin getting the job. Obviously, there's a bit more enthusiasm from some of the pod team than from others, but essentially, among the available options, we accept that he's the preferred choice. The transfer window is another cause for concern and we touch on that too. Obviously, we are not the only team in Glasgow that has a managerial issue and our man in the east has done some research on the Govan appointment. Our man in the west has also done some impressive research into his CV so he can make some cheap gags at the PTC's expense. To sign off we have a Summer RGC which gives Paul & Chris another opportunity to go in two-footed on one of their favourites. To sign off we kind of dedicate the episode to one of the funniest and kindest men that God has ever put on this earth, Charlie Devlin. 'Big Peas' was a legend and his passing will be mourned by so many, Rest in peace Charlie Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

The host returned from his holiday, meaning we could finally record the end-of-season pod. Paul and Chris talk us through their day at the cup final sponsored by Baby Guinness, it would appear. We then review the current squad and play a very sh*t version of Shag Marry Avoid. "Staying, Going, and Should Be Going" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. The outcome is that a major overhaul is on the cards, which leads us nicely into a discussion about who will carry it out. Media reports at the time of recording suggest the two main candidates for the job are Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane. It's fair to say that there's more enthusiasm for one candidate than the other. Don't get carried away, "enthusiasm" is very much a relative term. We end the podcast with the announcement from the calm and collected Paul about who gets the honour of being our RGC of the Year. We should be back when there's news about the "new" manager, but in the meantime, we thank each and every one of you who have downloaded and enjoyed the pod this season. As mentioned, we now have a Substack site and we're hoping to put some content on there that hopefully you'll enjoy. There's an article from Davie Farrell that's well worth a read. https://rgcacelticpodcast.substack.com/ Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

As the pod heid bummer, Paul was up that Italy over the weekend he takes the host's chair for this week's episode. Obviously, there's a huge amount of joy about Saturday, and it appears that the utter headloss from everyone about the Motherwell game increased the desire to win on Saturday. We discuss the game and the post-match scenes like the grumpy old men we are. Of course, we talk about the final on Saturday and the prospect of a domestic double. There won't be a pod next week, so we'll be back in a couple of weeks for a season review and preview of next season. The RGC of the week takes one on behalf of all the bed-wetters in the media Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

What should be another incredibly giddy recording is somewhat derailed as we react to people absolutely losing their sh*t over what was a handball. The level of outrage has taken us all by surprise. As Paul is currently honing his spaghetti wrangling skills in Italy, Davie Farrell steps in for this recording Davie does an excellent ex-pro explanation of what happened, and Chris calls all of Davie's pals in the media a shower of c*nts. Classic case of playing to your strengths. We look forward to Saturday's game and have another laugh at the lads from Govan, and again, we get a former coach's explanation of the "disappointment" at Ibrox. The collective head loss as a result of the penalty gives us a couple of RGC contenders Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

What a fantastic day, actually, that was a good weekend, wasn't it? As you can imagine, there's a lot of giddiness to go around. Our review of events at Celtic Park takes up the first bit of the pod and we have a right good laugh at 'thaym', their manager, their captain and their fans Then we move on to the carnage that followed in the pub afterwards, and there's a gig review from Chris and Paul and a frankly incredible choice of post-pub/pre-gig scran by our man in the West A preview of Wednesday's game follows before the host tells of another shocking confession following hard on the heels of "Tennis Clubgate" Finally, there was a two-horse race for RGC this week, but ultimately a man who has given Celtic fans so much joy over the years who nicks it. Incidentally, if you want to enjoy some flute music in Ayrshire here's the link to the festival we discussed https://www.thecumnocktryst.com/ Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

That was the weekend that was... Our men in the East and West were both at Easter Road on Sunday and we get their views on a game that wasn't short of incidents. A game that we should have won, easing up, ended up in a nervy last ten. It's as if Celtic have forgotten they are based in the heart disease capital of Europe. We look forward to the Derby on Sunday and have a right good laugh at events at Tynecastle on Monday evening. There are a few tennis puns and some chat about the POTY awards too. In the week that ST renewals came out, we had a chat about the Collective's suggestion that fans wait until the last day before renewing. That leads into a discussion about the potential relocation of The Bhoys. Spoiler alert- We think the club have made a rip-roaring c**t of it. As always, we are so grateful to each and every one of you who listen to the pod. Hopefully next week's episode will be a real gidfest after positive results at Fir Park on Saturday and Celtic Park on Sunday Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

As you can imagine, there is cheeriness by the bucketload in this week's episode. We came within a bawhair of the perfect footballing weekend. An unconvincing convincing 3-1 win for Celtic, a hilarious win for Well and were it not for Hibs doing what Hibs do, we could have been in the box seat for the run-in. We look forward to next week, and arguably, by the time we record the next episode, we should have a much clearer picture of who is likely to win the league. In other news, the new contracts for Scales and McCowan get discussed, a Godfather disowns his Godson, and we make a plea for support for the pod's furry friend, who is doing a charity walk next week.

You’d think a six-two victory in a semi-final against Premiership opposition would be a cue for an upbeat and giddy podcast. Well, no, it wasn’t. Podcast big boss and head honcho Paul is in Spain, leaving his two underlings to hold the fort. Davie Farrell steps in and, unusually, he gets to talk about a game we actually won. However, it has to be said, he isn’t entirely positive about Sunday’s performance. Without it being a spoiler, Davie has a fairly revolutionary idea that we should start the game with our best players on the park. We look forward to Falkirk on Saturday and have our say on whether we think we can win the league. The RGC this week is one of friends from Govan who inadvertently gave a bunch of Celtic fans a great day out at Hampden. As always, we appreciate all your kind words and support but please spread the word to any grumpy Tims that you know Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

There was a full turn out of the podcast team at Saturday's game, so Chris has taken over hosting for this week's episode. We look back at Saturday's game and the post-game sesh before looking forward to Sunday's semi. Despite the win the mood in the camp isn't particularly cheery. We take the opportunity to look at each department of the team and in truth there's not a lot of positivity in that regard either. We hold our own POTY award and goal of the season and it's slim pickings and no mistake. There's a quick discussion about the Haughey Monorail proposal, and it's clear that for the two ST holders on the pod, some further details will be required before they are likely to get involved. A sneaky attempt to ambush the host when we get to the RGC nomination is thwarted by the host throwing himself under the bus. As always, we are grateful for all the positive feedback (and the less-than-positive feedback, too) feel free to spread the word to the miserable aul' b******ds in your lives Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

Finally, a win in Dundee means there's a bit of a change in the mood from the last pod after a game up there. We go over the events of a welcome win at Dens, look forward to Saturday's game, and discuss the potential post-split fixtures, too. Our man Paul chaired the most recent Collective meeting, so he gives a little update from Thursday's meeting. Martin's suggestion that he would be open to a longer stay gives us a reason to discuss his staying on for another year. It's fair to say there's not a lot of enthusiasm at that prospect. Paul and Chris go two-footed on the "media hoor" host who has been hawking his half-arsed opinions on various media outlets this week. The RGC is unanimous, although had Chris caught events pre-match on camera, he'd have had this week's RGC in the bag as well as £250 from You've Been Framed Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

As it's International week, we took the opportunity to record a special episode with a friend of the pod and all-round GC, Stuart Braithwaite, leader aff from the least shite Glasgow band, Mogwai. After we establish his RGC and Celtic credentials, we get his view on the current state of affairs at Celtic and his thoughts on the season so far. Paul gives us a little update ahead of Thursday's collective meeting and we express our frustration at the recent interview by The Anfield Wrap at Lennoxtown of Oxlade-Chamberlain at a time when our own fan media is banned. Not a good look in our book. Thanks as always for listening Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.
