In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Charlie Mulgrew and Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi.

Martin O’Neill returns to Celtic for a THIRD spell, just weeks after being pushed aside — and only days after the club spiralled under Wilfried Nancy.

This episode dissects the brutal realities of modern football management, and whether experience, authority and simplicity can still beat “projects” and sporting directors.

Martin O’Neill Returns — Again

O’Neill speaks candidly about the strangeness, pressure and reality of stepping back into the Celtic hot seat.

No magic wand. No excuses. Just urgency, credibility and results.

Why this short-term appointment could either steady Celtic or expose deep-rooted flaws.

Celtic’s Breakdown Laid Bare

Eight catastrophic games. 18 goals conceded. Tactical confusion.

Why Wilfried Nancy’s rigidity proved fatal — and why the warning signs were obvious.

The quiet sacking of Paul Tisdale and how football directors escape blame.

“It’s Players, Not Systems”

Why O’Neill rejects over-complication.

The return to clean sheets, defensive trust, and dressing-room authority.

A blunt rejection of “project managers” at elite clubs.

January Window: Make or Break

Celtic need 2 strikers, a centre-back, a midfielder — minimum.

Rangers also need quality, not quantity.

The danger of late moves, loans, and panic buys.

Rangers Are Back

Danny Röhl's tweaks expose Celtic’s fragility.

Chermiti redemption. Tavernier restored. Belief rising.

Rangers now genuine title contenders again.

Hearts Lead… But Can They Hold?

Six points clear — but are Hearts ready for the pressure?

Why being chased is harder than leading.

The season where everything might swing late.

Motherwell: Everyone’s Talking About Them

“The best footballing performance of the season.”

Why neutral fans can’t look away.

Could Motherwell actually split — or crash — the Old Firm?
