December 10, 2025 Nancy's Celtic Won't Be Built In A Day - But A Result v Roma Would Be Massive For New Man (Preview)
🍀 Enjoy this full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange
===========================
At time of writing Wilfried Nancy has been in Glasgow for less than a week, but it must feel like a lifetime for the Frenchman given the noise since Sunday's loss to Hearts.
Thankfully the man himself seems well able to drown out the noise and accepted in his pre match press conference that it's all part of the job.
Another part of the job of course is getting results and he'll be hoping he can claim just that against Roma as they come calling at Celtic Park in Europa League action.
It's only Game Two for Nancy, but already it feels like a biggie.

December 08, 2025 A Test Of Wilf-Power: How Will New Man Respond To Opening Day Hysteria?
Celtic are a club unlike any other, and while Wilfried Nancy will have done his homework before landing in Glasgow, nothing could have prepared him for the frankly absurd backlash that followed his opening-day defeat to Hearts.

Fair questions can be asked about his immediate shift to a 3-4-3, but the mockery of his tactics boards and his post-match interview has been nothing short of ridiculous.

If nothing else, the past few days will have given him a crash course on life at Celtic.

Next up for the new man is a pivotal double-header against Roma in the Europa League, before a League Cup Final showdown with St Mirren on Sunday.

Two tough tests, unquestionably - but also the ideal stage for Nancy to silence a few critics.

🎙️ Join Tino, James, Mif & Brydo as they break it all down in the latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly.

December 08, 2025 Nancy’s Formation Falls Short On First Test | But He Must Be Given Time To Get It Right (Preview)
It was never going to be straightforward for Wilfried Nancy as he stepped into the shoes of a Celtic legend like Martin O’Neill - and Sunday’s debut highlighted that fact.

A 2–1 defeat to Hearts wasn’t in the script for the Frenchman, and the early adoption of his preferred 3-4-3 setup has already raised eyebrows among the Celtic support.

Nancy appears committed to the system, given the success it’s brought him elsewhere, but the hope now is that it begins to click with this squad sooner rather than later.

With huge fixtures against Roma and St Mirren in the League Cup Final coming up this week, he’ll know - fairly or not - that time is not on his side. Finding that winning formula quickly is essential, and he’ll be desperate to put things right as quickly as possible.

🎙️ Join Tino & Conor as they break down an intriguing afternoon at Celtic Park, as Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic fall short in the top-of-the-table clash with Hearts.

December 06, 2025 The More Things Change At Celtic, The More They Stay The Same | With Des McLean & Jim Orr
Fans at loggerheads with the club. Tension thick in the air. Anxiety over what the future holds.
It could easily describe events of the last few months - but this time we’re talking about Celtic in the early 90s, when the club lurched from one crisis to the next in what was, frankly, an existential struggle for survival at Celtic Park.
Thankfully, Fergus McCann and others stepped up during those turbulent years, and in 'And If You Know The History? ' (written by Jim Orr and starring Des McLean) that story is retold with a quirky, compelling twist.
Jim and Des joined us in the studio this week to talk about the show’s return and to draw parallels between those dark days and the current turmoil unfolding at Celtic.
It made for an entertaining session - and a glimpse of what you can expect if you’re lucky enough to get tickets for next year’s run.
🎟️ 'And If You Know The History?' runs from 27th - 29th August 2026 at the Pavillion Theatre and tickets can be purchased now at the link below.

December 04, 2025 It's O'Neill's Night As Celtic Draw Level At Top Of The Table {PREVIEW}
🅟 Enjoy the full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange
===========================
It's been a whirlwind five weeks for Martin O'Neill on his return to Celtic but the job he's done in that tine has been nothing short of remarkable.
Five straight Scottish Premiership wins, a League Cup Semi victory over Rangers and a win on the road in the Europa League - and some thought he could have been in danger of tarnishing his legacy by returning...!
O'Neill deserves all the praise coming his way for what he's achieved - as do Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotherinbgham & Stephen McManus - but for him the most pleasing aspect will be where he now leaves us.
Last night's win over Dundee draws us level on points with Hearts at the top of the table, and with the Edinburgh side making their way to Celtic Park on Sunday its all to play for in Wilfried Nancy's first game.
If he makes a fraction of the impact on Celtic as O'Neill has then we can look forward to wait awaits us under the frenchman.
🎙️ Join Tino and Joe for their review of an emotional night for Martin O'Neill as he took centre stage one last time.

December 02, 2025 O'Neill Chasing A Perfect Seven On Celtic Park Send Off (Preview)
🅟 Enjoy the full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange
===========================
Martin O'Neill has the chance to make it a flawless seven domestic wins from seven when Celtic host Dundee on Wednesday night in what looks set to be his final act as Interim Manager (correct at time of publication). And there’s no more fitting stage for his farewell than Celtic Park.
The perfect run has already earned O’Neill the November Manager of the Month award, and a victory over Stephen Pressley’s side would provide the fairytale ending to his incredible return.
Sentiment aside, there’s an important job to be done by his side, and a win would heap fresh pressure on league leaders Hearts - who themselves face Kilmarnock - with the Bhoys now just two points off the summit.
It promises to be an emotional night in store as we look for the perfect conclusion to a near perfect five weeks in the job for O'Neill.
🎙️ Join Tino & Greg for this one as they preview Celtic’s midweek clash with Dundee at Celtic Park.

December 01, 2025 The End Of An Interim Era: O’Neill’s Impact & What Happens Next at Celtic (Extended Episode)
What Martin O’Neill has delivered as Interim Manager has been nothing short of remarkable. So much so, in fact, that many fans - understandably - would happily press pause on the imminent passing of the Celtic baton to Wilfried Nancy.

But as football always reminds us, even the best reigns (interim or otherwise) must come to an end. And for O’Neill, that looks to be approaching fast.

When he does step aside, he’ll do so with the gratitude of the entire support, for answering the call when Celtic needed him most, and for breathing life back into a side that had clearly lost its way.

The spotlight now turns to Nancy. His task will be to build on O’Neill’s work and sustain the momentum that’s been reignited in recent weeks. Supporters will be hoping for clarity and confirmation on the Frenchman's arrival in the days ahead.

Elsewhere, the Celtic Fans Collective have confirmed a march will take place ahead of Sunday’s clash with Hearts. It will set off from Celtic’s birthplace of St Mary’s in the Calton at 1.15pm, before making its way to Celtic Park ahead of kick-off - with the social media announcement encouraging all fans to attend:

“All Celtic fans are invited to join us as we embark on a unifying and defiant celebration of everything good about Celtic Football Club.”

🎙️ Join Tino, Mif & Brydo as they discuss all of the above and more on the latest Celtic Exchange Weekly.

Not so long ago, the idea of this Celtic side taking three away wins on the bounce at St Mirren, Feyenoord and Hibs would have sounded far-fetched - until the Martin O’Neill factor kicked in.

Since returning as Interim Manager, O’Neill has sparked this squad back to life, restoring belief and bite, with the likes of Arne Engels, Yang and Reo Hatate all thriving under his guidance.

And the great man may not be gone just yet, as the club finalise Wilfried Nancy's imminent arrival as our new Head Coach.

Crucially, O’Neill has hauled Celtic to within two points of leaders Hearts - and a win over Dundee at Celtic Park on Wednesday night will send us back to the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

🎙️ All in all a big week on the road for Celtic, and Tino and Brydo cover it on this latest Final Whistle Show.

Celtic head to Easter Road on Sunday knowing a win would cut the gap at the top to just two points on leaders Hearts - a game that will also mark the final appearance of club legend Martin O’Neill in the dugout.

O’Neill has made a remarkable impact since stepping in as interim boss almost five weeks ago - reigniting this Celtic side by dragging them firmly back towards the top and restoring confidence in Europe with Thursday's big win against Feyenoord - and he’ll be determined to sign off in style after a spell that has breathed fresh belief into players and supporters alike.

Yet in typical style in his pre-match press conference, O’Neill brushed aside any talk of legacy. His sole focus is on the three points that could take Celtic one step closer to the Premiership summit.

Whatever the outcome in Leith, his influence has been unmistakable - lifting spirits, restoring momentum, and reminding everyone what he's all about.

Martin O'Neill leaves with the thanks of everyone connected with Celtic for answering the call when it mattered most.

Ahead of Celtic’s trip to Rotterdam, everyone in green and white was willing Martin O’Neill to conjure one last European night to remember before stepping aside as interim boss.
Hope or expectation? Who cares - when the moment arrived, so did the man. And what a continental farewell it was.
A 3-1 win away from home - after falling behind - is the kind of result that deserves to be savoured. For a side not exactly renowned for away victories in Europe, this one feels extra sweet.
Huge credit to the travelling support, as ever, with our own Paddy proudly among them. Every mile, every delay, every bleary-eyed journey home will be worth it after a performance like that.
The victory lifts Celtic back up the Europa League table, and with three games still to play, the baton now passes to Wilfried Nancy to carry this campaign forward.
🎙️ Join Tino and James as they break down a massive night on the road, with Celtic delivering on Matchday 5 of this season’s Europa League.
