The Celtic Underground

After arriving late because I was watching my mate come 4th for over 55s in the Glasgow Half Marathon, I made my own mad dash across the city to watch our beloved hoops and good ness I wasn’t expecting that!

A goal in the first half of a game. Conceeding 2 goals to go behind and then coming from behind to score including an injury time winner. Gotta love football.

Also, there was the unusual sight of an anti-board banner in the main stand. It was facing out towards the main stand and not the board who would have been around 6 ft away.

We won. Magic.

This week Harry sat down with Duncan Smillie to discuss the recent developments surrounding the Celtic Trust and the formation of Celtic Supporters Limited. Duncan outlines the goals of the new organization, emphasizing the importance of amassing shares to gain voting rights and influence over the club’s direction.

Duncan sets out his issues with the current Celtic board, detailing his concerns about their performance and the need for change. He also looks at the work being done by the Celtic Collective (recorded before tonight’s statement about the Collective & club meeting) and the potential for fan engagement to drive meaningful change within the club.

There’s a lot going on at Celtic and for those asking “where’s your fan protest podcast?” like Christmas it’s coming. We want to ensure there’s a breadth of voices and opinions on this and Ross has had a cold so his voice wasn’t fit for recording and others have been busy so getting a date for all has been difficult - but it’s coming.

Meantime, Celtic commence their Europa League against Crvena Zvezda (formerly Red Star Belgrade). The bhoys try to find the correct pronunciation and decide to stick to Red Star!

Enough of this ramble, here’s the podcast.

To paraphrase Bono - There’s been a lot of talk about the club, maybe too much talk…

Since the last day of the transfer window, through the barren spell of the international break there’s been a lot of chatter amongst the support. Online has been full of chat about the club. For those filled with frustration, this has been a righteous anger about the m…

Brendan Rodgers Presser

Box office Brendan. There’s no other way to describe today’s press conference. If you get the chance there’s the wee nods and winks. He know what he’s doing and this is explosive.

The coub should do better in transfer windows.

After the window he wasn’t angry, he just felt empty.

The story in The Sun last Saturday was cowardly. He know who did it.

He works closely with Michael, Dermot & Chris. Michael & Chris are great guys who work every day for the betterment of Celtic. He knows who wrote the story. Michael & Dermot are good guys who he works closely with….are you getting the picture.

I (Harry) got to ask the final question.

Should the person who leaked the story to The Sun resign - “There’s no doubt!”
