The Go Radio Football Show: 19th of August, 2025

In Association with Burger King.

This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show. 

Join host Paul Cooney alongside Celtic legend Peter Grant and Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi.

Rangers and Celtic prepare for crucial Champions League qualifiers.

The show opens with a discussion about Rangers’ upcoming clash with Club Brugges. The panel acknowledges the challenge ahead, with Brugges seen as favorites, but they also highlight Rangers’ impressive European pedigree and the financial implications of progressing—an estimated £40 million windfall.

The conversation shifts to Celtic’s transfer window frustrations, with speculation swirling around a potential move for veteran striker Jamie Vardy. Both pundits agree that while Vardy’s age may raise eyebrows, his experience and fitness could bring a spark to the squad, especially given Celtic’s current lack of firepower up front.

Brendan Rodgers’ press conference is  a focal point, revealing his measured frustration with the club’s recruitment strategy. Rodgers confirms that Celtic need reinforcements, particularly a reliable number nine, and hints at internal disagreements over transfer priorities. The panel discusses the implications of Rodgers’ comments, suggesting that if the club fails to back him, this could be his final season at the helm.

Russell Martin, Rangers’ manager, is also featured, advocating for a joyful and energetic style of play. He emphasises the importance of clarity and unity within the squad, especially under the pressure of European competition.
