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?

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

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.

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.

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?
