Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Something a bit different from us today. This is a short 10-minute episode from host Tino, providing some key updates on those who were off representing their countries over the last ten days or so. Some mixed successes for the various players and some injury concerns for Ange Postecoglou as he prepares his team for the visit of Motherwell following that disappointing St Mirren defeat a couple of...

Celtic's 38 game unbeaten league run came to a surprising end at the weekend with a 2-0 defeat by St Mirren which absolutely no one seen coming! It was our first loss in the league in almost a full calendar year, and although not a result anyone wanted it may just remind all concerned that there's still work to be done if we're to reach the levels Ange Postecoglou wants to take us. Elsewhere a Cha...

Celtic are back in Champions League action this week against Shakhtar Donetsk after a very credible performance against current champions Real Madrid on Matchday 1. Despite the defeat on the night Ange Postecoglou's side proved that they could go toe to toe with the best that the Champions League has to offer - at least in spells - and will be looking to take that confidence into the remaining fiv...

Ange Postecoglou’s side exerted their total dominance on Saturday with a crushing 4-0 win over Rangers that left Giovanni Van Bronckhort’s side wondering what had hit them at a packed Celtic Park. Van Bronckhorst of course played in the original “Demolition Derby” some twenty two years ago as Henrik Larsson and co. inflicted a 6-2 defeat on Rangers back in August 2000. We now have a new Demolition...

Celtic made history at the weekend as they recorded their biggest ever away win in the Scottish top flight with a 9-0 annihilation of Dundee United at Tannadice. Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada both grabbed hat-tricks on the day with Jota, Josip Juranovic and Carl Starfelt also getting involved in the goal scoring action. Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley continue to shine in the midfield and were both e...

In the first episode of our exclusive new Celtic Relived series we were joined by Billy Stark – a hugely popular and talented member of Celtic’s Double Winning Centenary Team. Billy played a vital part in the club’s success in that special season, ultimately finishing third top scorer behind Andy Walker and Frank McAvennie, and for those who recall was instrumental in our comeback win over Dundee...

CELTIC took advantage of results elsewhere to take an early lead in the title race this weekend as goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis were enough to see off Hearts at Celtic Park. It perhaps wasn’t the free flowing we’ve come to expect from Ange Postecoglou’s side, but at the same time it was a deserved victory and a result that sees us maintain our 100% start to the league campaig...

Tino, Mif & James took to the mics this week as Celtic blew away Kilmarnock this weekend on an enjoyable afternoon in East Ayrshire. The Bhoys racked up 5 goals without reply against their Scottish Premiership opponents to restore their place at the top of the table and make it 3 wins from 3 in the league campaign so far. It was a game that many thought would prove difficult but in truth once Kyog...

CELTIC made it two Scottish Premiership wins from two at the weekend with a hard fought 3-1 win over Ross County in the Highlands. Moritz Jenz marked his competitive debut with a powerful headed goal, but it was Portuguese winger Jota who was once again the main man as he picked up another Man of the Match award following his hat-trick of assists. The transfer window now has just over three weeks...

CELTIC were finally back in competitive action at the weekend with the long awaited return of the Scottish Premiership, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable Flag Day at Celtic Park with captain Callum McGregor raising the league flag ahead of kick off. The backdrop of this was a stunning stadium wide tifo display -  organised by the Green Brigade, and funded by the wider Celtic support - and it was a...

CELTIC rounded off their pre-season campaign with a comfortable 2-0 win over Norwich City on Saturday with Reo Hatate continuing his excellent pre-season form with another Man of the Match performance. Many have tipped Jota and Kyogo to be the main men this season – and they may well be right – but the young Japanese midfielder is looking refreshed and energised ahead of the big kick off and may w...

WITH Celtic now closing in on the start of the new Scottish Premiership season we sat down this week to provide our Pre-Season Predictions across a range of categories as our esteemed(!) panel discuss the players who’ll be making the headlines in 2022/23. Who’ll be the star man this year, who’s the next exciting youth prospect to break through to the first team, and who will be the surprise packag...

LIKE returning heroes Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers, we too at The Celtic Exchange are back for a whole new season where we’ll bring you the very best of all things Celtic – on and off the park. Ange Postecoglou continues to build on last season's double success and its an exciting time as the fans anticipate what Ange's Celtic v2.0 will look like. As always at this time of year the main focus i...

The curtain has finally come down on Celtic's 2021/22 season and what a season it's been. An unknown Ange Postecoglou was announced as the club's new manager in early June and since then the fans have been on a rollercoaster journey as we've followed our charismatic leader and his new team from an opening day defeat to Hearts, right through to last week's trophy lift at Celtic Park against Motherw...

ANGE POSTECOGLOU finally got his hands on the Scottish Premiership trophy this weekend as he and captain Callum McGregor were presented with the silverware following a sparkling 6-0 final day win over Motherwell. It’s a season that started with a lot of question marks, a lot of doubt, but ultimately one which finished with glory as Celtic returned to the top of Scottish Football after a short hiat...

SATURDAY afternoon at Celtic Park will be an occasion to savour as we see Ange Postecoglou and his Celtic players rewarded with the Scottish Premiership Trophy after a long and successful campaign. The presentation will take place after the final day clash with Motherwell and will be a special day for all associated with the club as we reclaim the title at the first time of asking. Its a success t...

CELTIC took a step closing to reclaiming the Scottish Premiership Title, with a 1-1 draw in the Glasgow Derby maintaining the 6 point gap at the top with just 3 games to play. Jota showed he was the man for the big occasion with the opening goal and went on to claim the Man of the match award with an impressive all round performance. The Hoops are now honing in on what would be an incredible title...

KYOGO FURUHASHI made his first start since December at the weekend, scoring the all-important opening goal against Ross County to send the Hoops on their way in Dingwall. It was the Japanese striker’s 17th goal of the season and he showed glimpses of his brilliant best in what was a vital league result in the Highlands. Not to be outdone, team-mate Jota also had his best game in recent times, prov...

CELTIC fell to a disappointing extra time defeat in Sunday’s Scottish Cup Semi-Final at Hampden and captain Callum McGregor has quickly moved to re-focus his teammates ahead of the Scottish Premiership run in. It was a frustrating day at the national stadium with Celtic unable to extend their 33 game unbeaten run and failing to meet the high standards they’ve set throughout the season. Referee Bob...

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has talked of finding top form at the right time of the season and nothing epitomised this more than the 7-0 demolition of St Johnstone we witnessed at Celtic Park on Saturday. Celtic recorded their biggest win of the season against the Perth side, playing exceptionally well throughout the 90 minutes and exhibiting the free flowing football which has now become synonymous with thi...

CELTIC took a massive step closer to reclaiming the Scottish Premiership title with a battling 2-1 win over Rangers at Ibrox. Goals from Cameron Carter-Vickers and Tom Rogic sealed the win and though manager Ange Postecoglou won't say it out loud he and his players are edging ever closer to league success in his first season in charge. Tino, Mif & James were in the studio to discuss all the big ta...

GIORGOS GIAKOUMAKIS grabbed his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday as he inspired Celtic to a 4-0 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. It’s the Greek striker’s 8th goal in his last 3 domestic starts and now takes his tally to 12 in the Hoops – 11 of them coming in 2022. The result ensured that Celtic remained at the top of the Scottish Premiership ahead of their visit to Ibrox...

A dominating 3-0 win over Dundee Utd at Tannadice on Monday night has paired Celtic with Rangers in the semi-finals at Hampden and with a 3 point lead in the Scottish Premiership talk of a Treble has now heightened amongst the fans. Ange Postecoglou and the players won't be talking about it - at least not in the media - but it now has to be seen as a very real possibility for a Celtic side now unb...
