How did Celtic turn Motherwell into Real Madrid? In this New Year's Day episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, we react to the humiliating 2-0 defeat against Motherwell, asking if Wilfried Nancy’s rotation policy caused a "train wreck" or if the hysteria is ignoring the fitness reality. James and Alan use "packing scores" to reveal the historic extent of the performance failure—comparable to Champions League drubbings—before launching a passionate defense of Paul Tisdale against the "civil war" narratives blaming him for the last three transfer windows. Finally, we preview the massive Glasgow Derby against Rangers, analyzing Danny Rohl’s defensive turnaround and how Celtic can exploit it.

In this episode of Extra Time, we tackle the "mass hysteria" surrounding Wilfried Nancy following a winless run, asking if he can survive the mounting pressure or if he is a victim of the "fog of war" at Celtic Park. James uses data and historical comparisons to Ange Postecoglou’s rocky start to argue that the underlying performance is better than the results suggest. We also have a frank debate about Peter Lawwell’s divisive legacy as he prepares to step down as Chairman—was he a financial savior or an obstacle to progress? Finally, we look ahead to the crucial clash against Aberdeen.
