There's plenty of cheeriness to go round this week. A good result and a half-decent performance against the best-coached team in the league keeps everyone in a good mood. 

The mood is so good that Chris graciously allows Paul to take the second half of Saturday's game, meaning he didn't get the poisoned chalice for once.

There's a chuckle about the game in Kilmarnock on Saturday night, even though it did have a whiff of Sophie's Choice about it, thanks to the respective managers of the teams involved.

We have a chat about this weekend's fixtures, and there's some (muted) praise for the pod's favourite ex-Celt Steven Pressley. Incredible #scenes.

There's a bit of an update from Paul about the Green Brigade ban which is an  interesting listen

We finish with an explanation of why we are changing the parameters of the RGC award. The curse is just too powerful

It won't surprise you to hear that there's some cheeriness among the three contributors. 

There's a deep dive into the game at Pittodrie (No' really) and we discuss a few of Chris's previous jobs, before moving on to events at Ibrox. Both Paul and Chris were at the game, so we talked penalties, competition winners, and a podcast exclusive on the location of one of our strikers on Sunday. 

Then we have some Kate Adie-style reporting from the boys about the events post-shoot-out. 

We round it off with a chat about the Motherwell game and then Sunday's game gives us our RGC.

As we always say, thank you for your continued support, and if you know anyone who you think is in our demographic, why not send them a text, apparently that's what the cool kids are doing these days.

First pod in a while where we have the luxury of only talking about the football. Stuttgart and "Thaym" away, and the upcoming league and cup games. 

In addition to talking about the games, we started our own conspiracy theory about the FDC being nowhere to be seen on Sunday despite the fact that his jersey did make the trip to Govan.

Talking of Govan, there's a plug for the fundraiser for a statue of Jim Craig, and a cracking bit of politics from Paul at the death.

This week's RGC was up for grabs for a while. A tyre repair man, an HGV driver were in the mix but eventually it was someone filling one of the contributors full of free drink that won out in the end.

After last week's pod title unfortunately turned out to be bang on the money we revisited the question of the goalkeeper.

After an absolute shocker of a week on the park we moved away from our usual format and basically had a moan-in for half of the episode. The keeper, the defence, the midfield and the forward line all get a bit of a shoeing as does the manager.

There is concern about the upcoming games, and we discuss what we think should happen if the results don't go our way. It's not a particularly upbeat episode

It was also a big week off the park, and Paul gives a first-hand account of the recent meeting between the Steering Group and the board. It doesn't lift the mood of the pod too much in fairness.

We head overseas for this week's RGC, as there really was no obvious candidate after an absolutely shocking week.

As always, thanks for your support. We really appreciate each and every listener, and if you have a hospitality box, offer it to someone else.

Quite the week where Celtic appear to have forgotten that Scotland and Glasgow in particular has a problem with heart disease. The two games, Livi and Killie placed enormous strain on the hearts of our pod's target demographic but all's well that ends well.

We look back on both games and it's quite cheery in the main. Mind you there is then some discussion about players in the squad that potentially could let us down in the run in. (The episode title is a clue to one of them).

There's a look forward to this week's games and a call for some pragmatism ahead of the Stuttgart game if this week doesn't go our way.

There's some discussion about the upcoming meeting between the board and the Collective steering group as Paul will be one of the people in the room this week.

There's a film review and the host gets accused of being a grass. 

A packed programme and no mistake

A week of big games not just for Celtic but our "baw tickling" rivals too.

We chat about Saturday's Great Escape, the return of The Free Broomloan and this week's league games against Livi and Killie. With our main rivals facing potentially tough games, it could be a pivotal week. 

Mind you, we do emphasise that it's up to us to take care of our business.

There's a bit of reflection on the boycott and the possibility of a meeting between the board and the collective. It's fair to say we are all hoping for positive news on that front.

There's an RGC Award for the "Unknown Editor" and a Peruvian bear* comes in for some well-deserved abuse

It's fair to say that the last few days have been eventful after the Collective meeting on Tuesday night.

As two of our number were at the meeting and one of them is on the steering group we thought that we'd record a podcast discussing the events at the meeting, the fallout and what we maybe should be doing once Saturday is out the way.

Ah'll give ye world class basics

Recorded four hours before the transfer window "slammed shut," some of it may not date well, but depressingly, we suspect it will probably still be bang on the money.

We look back on two decent performances with decent results and then have a quick preview of the upcoming league and cup games. 

We then discuss the transfer window, and it's fair to say that we're very much in the underwhelmed camp. It's been a while since we've got a window "right" and it's fair to say we don't think this one has been any different.

We've got a bit of a left field RGC but quietly applaud our "Wiki terrorist" listener

In a Sweeney's Law heavy episode, Chris and Paul discuss our draws in Bologna and Edinburgh. Both with a sense of what could have been. Of course, it couldn't be a game against Hearts without their keeper and manager getting it tight.

We then go on to discuss the two home games this week, and that leads "nicely" into another discussion about the transfer window, which is very "deja vu" heavy.

We then have a chat about the upcoming collective meeting, which gets interrupted at one point by Amazon literally knocking on our door.

It's not as downbeat as previous weeks and had it not been for VAR, it might actually have been quite cheery.

As always, thank you all for your continued support and kind words

Another "What a riddy" episode.

We pick over the Falkirk game, but as we said last week, all that mattered was the three points. And we got them

Sunday's game joins Stranraer in 1988, Whitehill Welfare and a few other " cup classics" as embarrassing performances/results against lower league opposition. 

Both of these things would be okay had we had a couple of new faces in the stand, or heaven forfend, actually on the pitch.

The transfer ineptitude is the main focus of the lads' ire, especially ahead of two huge games this week.

Mind you, there is some optimism about Sunday from one of the contributors, which is a welcome relief from what goes before.
