    Two Celtic legends. One unforgettable season.

    In this special live edition of Let Me Be Frank, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston are joined by former Celtic captain Roy Aitken, The Bear, to look back on an extraordinary career and some of the greatest moments in Celtic history.
    Frank and Roy relive the famous 1987/88 Centenary Double, including the dramatic Scottish Cup Final against Dundee United, when Frank scored twice and Roy lifted the trophy.
    Roy also looks back on his journey from teenage Celtic player to club captain, with memories of Jock Stein, Billy McNeill and some of the great characters he shared a dressing room with.
    From Old Firm battles and two World Cups with Scotland to captaining his country at Italia ’90, leaving Celtic for Newcastle and moving into management, The Bear has no shortage of stories.
    Recorded in front of a live audience in Coatbridge, this is a brilliant night of football memories, dressing-room stories, laughter and nostalgia with two Celtic icons.

  • Frankly Speaking: Beaton’s VAR Farce! Høgh ROBBED & Rangers Gifted a Penalty

    Frank McAvennie isn’t holding back after another weekend of controversial refereeing decisions in Scottish football.


    Macca is adamant Høgh’s goal should have stood and questions John Beaton’s VAR review, believing the decision had effectively been made before the referee had properly looked at the monitor.


    And Frank is just as baffled by the penalty awarded to Rangers against St Mirren.


    Away from the officials, Macca also has a message for Martin O’Neill. Is it finally time for Celtic to go with two up front? Could a change of formation be the answer to their attacking problems?

  • Frankly Speaking: "Stop Taking Celtic Fans For Fools!" Frank Questions O’Neill & Dressing-Room Unrest

    Frank McAvennie has had enough of the positive spin around Celtic.

    With performances and results continuing to frustrate supporters, Macca questions whether Martin O’Neill is insulting the intelligence of the fans by trying to talk things up. His message is simple: stop taking the Celtic support for fools.

    Frank and Simon also discuss growing concerns over the dressing room, with talk of cliques forming behind the scenes and unrest within the squad.

    There’s also a fascinating transfer story, with Frank saying he’s heard from a trusted source that Celtic tried to bring Scott Bain back from Falkirk during the summer.

    And with Besiktas heading to Celtic Park, Macca fears things could get ugly if Celtic don’t improve quickly.

    Frank McAvennie wants answers over Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s lack of game time at Celtic.

    With the midfield crying out for quality, Macca questions why the former Arsenal and Liverpool man isn’t getting more opportunities. Is there something going on behind the scenes, or is Celtic simply leaving a top player sitting on the bench?

    Is McGregor being judged too harshly, or could the current struggles begin to affect how his Celtic legacy is remembered?

  • Matt McGlone: Celts for Change Then, Celtic Protests Now | What Must Happen Next?

    Who really owns Celtic? How much influence does Dermot Desmond actually have? And can supporters force meaningful change at the club again?

    This week on Let Me Be Frank, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston are joined by Matt McGlone, one of the leading figures in the Celts for Change movement that helped bring down the old Celtic board in 1994.
    More than 30 years later, Celtic supporters are once again demanding change. Matt compares the battle then with the protests now, the different supporter groups involved and the lessons today’s fans can take from the campaign that transformed the club.
    We also look at Celtic’s shareholding structure, Dermot Desmond’s influence and whether ordinary shareholders realistically have the power to make a difference.
    With the AGM approaching, it’s a timely discussion about Celtic’s past, present and future, and whether supporters today can achieve what Celts for Change managed more than three decades ago.
    Plus, Matt reflects on the special significance of returning to Lisbon, the city where Celtic made history in 1967.
