If you were a short story writer, you’d struggle to dream up anything more fantastical than the real-life drama that’s unfolded at Celtic Park over the past seven days. Shock resignations, dramatic statements, a returning hero - and that was just Monday! Since then, we’ve seen passionate fan protests, a swashbuckling win over Falkirk, the long-awaited release of the fan survey, and even a first look at the new stadium banners. And if all that wasn’t enough, Martin O’Neill returned to the dugout for his first Glasgow Derby in over 20 years - and, in classic O’Neill fashion, led the Bhoys to victory on a high-energy afternoon at Hampden Park. Callum Osmand rightly stole the headlines on the big occasion, but he wasn’t alone. A number of his teammates deserve huge credit for showing the kind of fighting spirit that’s been missing for much of the season as they played they battled their way into next month's final. At this rate, who knows what the next few weeks and months will bring? For now, though, let’s enjoy the sight of a proper Celtic team returning on the park - and look ahead to another massive couple of fixtures in the days to come. 🎙️ Join Tino, James and Asim as they break down all of this and more on the latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly. ========================================== 🔔 Want even more from The Celtic Exchange?

Now, after being handed his debut by Martin O’Neill in midweek, the 19-year-old has fired Celtic into the League Cup Final - scoring a goal he’s since described as “the happiest moment of his life.” It was a brilliant day at Hampden under O’Neill’s leadership, and the returning hero deserves huge credit once again for getting the best out of Osmand, Auston Trusty, Callum McGregor, and others when their team needed them most. Like Osmand, it’s been a whirlwind week for O’Neill too - but right now, there’s no one else we’d rather see steering the Celtic ship. It may only be two wins in four days, but it feels like so much more, as Celtic finally look to get their season back on track. 🎙️ Join Tino and Conor for this one as they reflect on a big day for Martin O’Neill’s Celtic at the National Stadium.

The returning hero has faced Rangers no fewer than 27 times as Celtic manager, and remarkably, it’s now over 25 years since his first encounter - the unforgettable 6–2 game back in August 2000. We’d all gladly take a repeat of that scoreline as the Bhoys look to retain the League Cup they lifted against the same opponents just under a year ago. Both sides, meanwhile, will be desperate to serve up something far more exciting than uninspiring stalemate that marked the first derby of the season. O’Neill and his assistant Shaun Maloney have some big decisions to make regarding their starting XI, but they’ll take confidence from Wednesday night’s performance against Falkirk - arguably Celtic’s best display of the campaign so far. 🎙️ Join Tino, James and Greg as they cover all the key talking points ahead of Sunday’s all-important semi-final at Hampden.

After a whirlwind couple of days, Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney finally got down to work as Celtic faced Falkirk at Celtic Park on Wednesday night. Following an uncertain start to the season under Brendan Rodgers, the interim duo delivered a refreshing performance — an encouraging glimpse of what might be to come in the weeks ahead. Both men have ruled themselves out of taking the job on a permanent basis, meaning speculation over Celtic’s next manager continues to swirl. So too do the protests from fans, with a large group gathering outside the main entrance before kick-off to keep up the pressure on the club’s hierarchy. 🎙️ Tino joined presenter Tom White and guest Jamie O’Hara on Sky Sports to discuss all the latest developments. ========================================== 🔔 Want even more from The Celtic Exchange?

More than 30 years on from those turbulent days, the club now faces a very different kind of challenge, but one that shows no signs of being resolved any time soon. Brendan Rodgers’ shock resignation this week, followed by Dermot Desmond’s explosive statement, has opened a dramatic new chapter in Celtic’s story - the consequences of which are likely to be felt for some time. In this episode, David shares his insights on those developments and on the ever-unpredictable world behind the scenes at Celtic Park. Connected to all of this is a new venture that David and others have recently launched. He explains the motivation behind it, and how it could shape the future of life at Celtic in the years ahead. Finally, with this year’s AGM confirmed for 21st November - just three weeks away - we close by looking at what might unfold on what’s set to be a lively morning in Parkhead.

Before kick-off, protests continued outside the main doors at Celtic Park as fans made clear their ongoping copncerns about how the club is currently being run, but once the whistle blew, all focus turned to the football - and to the returning O’Neill. That renewed sense of purpose was evident on the pitch too, with Celtic playing faster, sharper, and more directly than we’ve seen in some time. The Bhoys went about their business with a confidence and efficiency that set the tone for what could be an exciting spell under the interim management team. With league leaders Hearts dropping points, the gap at the top now stands at six - a welcome boost on a good night for the champions. It all leaves O’Neill and his backroom team with a few big calls to make ahead of Sunday’s trip to Hampden… but we’ll get to that in due course. 🎙️ Join Tino & Asim as they recap an eventful night under the lights at Celtic Park.

It's been a chaotic couple of days for Celtic and we're still less than 48 hours out since Brendan Rodgers' resignation and from "that" statement by Dermot Desmond. Just half an hour after those events, Tino spoke with Sky Sports News to provide his thoughts on the story as it broke. It's one that in all likelihood has a long way to run and as best we can we'll keep you felly up to date on events as they happen here on Celtic Exchange. ========================= 🍀 Want more from Celtic Exchange? 📆 Up to date insights via 'The Daily' Podcast 🎙️ Bonus Additional Podcasts ⏰ Chat Celtic 24/7 in our Members Only Community ➕ And much more! 🔗 Explore our Patreon at https://patreon.com/celticexchange Learn more about your ad choices.

Brendan Rodgers has finally left the building. Martin O’Neill has sensationally returned - and in between it all lies an explosive statement from dominant Celtic shareholder Dermot Desmond that truly has to be read to be believed. It’s been a 24-hour period that has rocked Scottish football to its core, and more specifically, poured even more fuel on the already raging fire around Celtic Park. O’Neill and Shaun Maloney will take charge for the foreseeable future, but the nature of Rodgers’ “resignation” - and the statements that followed - have raised far more questions than answers about the club’s day-to-day operations. We explore: 🏆 The End of an 11-Trophy Era at Celtic 🍀 The Return of a Bonafide Club Hero 🤯 The Sensational Statement That Could Blow the Lid Off It All All this at a time when we thought things at Celtic couldn’t possibly get any livelier. 🎙️ Join Tino and Greg as they dive into a wild 24 hours that’s turned Celtic Park upside down. ========================================== 🔔 Want even more from The Celtic Exchange?

Celtic’s inconsistency continues to frustrate with Sunday’s setback at Tynecastle landing just days after the encouraging comeback win v Sturm Graz. With pressure continuing to mount on Brendan Rodgers, more questions are now being asked of the Irishman, with the main one being – is he the man to claw back an 8 point lead at the top of the table? Has he lost the dressing room? Is he still able to motivate this group of players? And does he have it in him to add to his haul of 11 trophies as Celtic manager?

They’ll take confidence from Thursday’s Europa League win over Sturm Graz, but the trip to Edinburgh comes with its challenges - Kelechi Iheanacho, Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and Daizen Maeda all miss out through injury, leaving Brendan Rodgers’ squad depth firmly under the spotlight for of the toughest trips in the calendar. The manager himself looked lifted by that European victory, but he and his side will need to be at their very best against a Hearts team sitting deservedly atop the table after five straight league wins. It’s all to play for in what promises to be a fiery early-season showdown between two genuine title contenders. 🎙️ Join Tino & Greg for the Countdown to Kick-Off as they preview Celtic’s crucial trip to Tynecastle.

And make no mistake its a win they thoroughly deserved for the effort and character shown throughout the game. The early injuries to Kelechi Iheanacho and Alistair Johnston piled extra pressure on Brendan Rodgers’ side, who haven't had their troubles to seek in recent weeks. But to their credit, they responded superbly to those setbacks and eventually took full control against the Austrian champions. Special praise goes to goalscorers Liam Scales and Benji Nygren, while Arne Engels offered a timely reminder of just how influential he can be at the heart of Celtic’s midfield. With another huge test awaiting at Tynecastle on Sunday, it’s vital that the team now builds on this performance and finally finds the consistency that’s been missing for much of the season. 🎙️ Join Tino & Brydo for their post-match thoughts after a stressful, but ultimately rewarding night at Celtic Park.

However, coming off the back of a bruising 2-0 defeat at Dundee, there are no guarantees of a strong response from Brendan Rodgers’ unpredictable side at this time. Daizen Maeda remains sidelined, but Alistair Johnston could return to the squad — and having someone of his character back in the dressing room would be a huge lift for both his teammates and the manager. Rodgers is under growing pressure following recent results and will be desperate for a win that could reignite Celtic’s European campaign. 🎙️ Join Tino and Paddy as they look ahead to Thursday’s clash with the Austrians.

Brendan Rodgers is under fire, but he’s far from the only issue at Celtic right now. Poor form, flat performances, and deeper cracks behind the scenes have fans asking the same questions: where’s the leadership, and where is this team heading this season? We break down what’s really gone wrong under the manager - this season and otherwise - and whether he and his side can re-discover the form that made him such a popular figure first time around.

And the most worrying part? It wasn’t even all that surprising. Yes, it’s our first league loss of the season, but the warning signs have been there for a while. A quick look at our 2025 results shows just how poorly the team has been performing this calendar year. So where do we go from here under Brendan Rodgers? Can this squad dig deep and respond in Thursday’s Europa League clash with Sturm Graz? Or in next weekend’s crucial trip to Tynecastle to face league leaders Hearts? Or even in next month’s cup semi-final against Rangers? On today’s evidence, that feels like wishful thinking. 🎙️ Round off your weekend (for better or worse) by joining Tino and James as they rake over the ashes of what was a miserable afternoon for Celtic at Dens Park.

Continuing our collaboration with Paul John Dykes of A Celtic State of Mind, we take a closer look at what Celtic Park could become - if only there was the vision to make it happen. The stadium’s footprint holds enormous potential. Yet, as with many aspects of Celtic at the moment, there appears to be a greater focus on simply making do with what we have, rather than exploring the exciting possibilities that could come from real investment and development in the ground and surrounding areas. This lack of forward thinking is one of several factors contributing to the growing disconnect between the club and its supporters. We also explore the ongoing communication issues that continue to frustrate fans—an area where many again feel the club is falling short. Are we witnessing a serious lack of vision and ambition at Celtic right now? Where is our modern-day Fergus McCann - the kind of visionary who can lead us into the next 5, 10, or 15 years and beyond? This is Part 2 of our two-part collaboration between Celtic Exchange and A Celtic State of Mind.

Whether it’s the drama of a late winner against Motherwell, a tense meeting between the club and the fans, or something else entirely - it’s never quiet at Celtic at this moment in time. That said, the last thing we’re hoping for this weekend is the clichéd “Drama at Dens!” and hopefully Celtic can enjoy a stress-free afternoon on Tayside before returning to Glasgow with all three points. Off the pitch, the unrest continues, with another meeting of the Celtic Fans Collective taking place on Thursday night, and to help us unpack everything that’s been going on, we’re joined by a member of the group’s steering committee - and someone well known to many listeners. Scott McCorry of the Homebhoys Podcast makes his first appearance of the season on Celtic Exchange, and it was great to have him back on the show. 🎙️ Tune in as Tino and Scott discuss all the latest goings-on at Celtic, both on and off the park.

It might feel like they’ve been around for much longer, but the Celtic Fans Collective have only been part of the modern-day Celtic story for a matter of weeks - and what a whirlwind few weeks it’s been. From open letters to hastily arranged meetings, official statements to published minutes, it’s been a hectic start for the new fans’ body - and in many ways, they’re only just getting started. Amidst all the noise, we were delighted to be joined by Paul John Dykes of A Celtic State of Mind (ACSOM) - someone who’s been at the forefront of the movement from day one. Paul John shared valuable insight into how the Collective came together, the challenges they’ve faced so far, and what lies ahead for the group.

Starting this Sunday against Dundee, Celtic embark on a potentially season-defining run of fixtures - even games in just 21 days, spanning three different competitions. It’s a spell that will test the resolve of Brendan Rodgers’ side, with crucial clashes in the Scottish Premiership, League Cup, and Europa League set to reveal plenty about the team’s character and depth, even at this early stage of the campaign. Off the park, it’s also a significant period, with further fan group meetings planned as efforts continue to address some of the recent unrest around the club.

We’re joined on Celtic Exchange this week by legendary Scottish writer and comedian Phil Differ - the man behind Only an Excuse - as he tells us of his latest creation, “Celtic Da's” - a hilarious and heartfelt new play about what it really means to follow Celtic as you get that bit older. Also in attendance were stars of the show Raymond Mearns and Bruce Morton - two Scottish comedy favourites - as the three tell us of how the play came to be, of what a "Celtic Da" actually is, and how you get to become one! Key questions include: 🍀 Is a Celtic Da different from a Glesga Da, and a Comedy Da? 🤔 Is The Younger Generation Of Football Fan Entitled? 🤩 Are Characters In The Game No Longer A Thing? and much more as we look ahead to a play that Phil describes as "Shamelessly Nostalgic!"

After weeks of unrest, various fan groups were finally invited to meet face to face with the club at Celtic Park tonight (Monday, 6 October), to allow all parties to have a long-awaited discussion aimed at finding a way forward following the recent standoff. While the full outcomes of the meeting may take some time to emerge, one thing is clear: the relationship between the club and its supporters must improve - because the status quo quite simply isn't working. On the pitch, a morale-boosting win over Motherwell offered some much-needed positivity and could spark new life into the campaign for several players, including Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Arne Engels, and Daizen Maeda. The international break now gives Brendan Rodgers and his squad the chance to regroup and refocus before setting their sights on reeling in league leaders Hearts. Meanwhile, across the city, Rangers are once again spinning on the managerial merry-go-round, and just a little earlier in the season this time than many expected. 🎙️ Join Tino, James & Paddy as they cover all of this and more in the latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly. ====================================== 🔔 Want even more from The Celtic Exchange?
