Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Along with several other high profile members of the Celtic fan media space we were invited by the club to attend an exclusive event this week with interim manager John Kennedy and with David Turnbull. Here we play the full uninterrupted audio of John Kennedy’s responses and what we think provides an extremely interesting insight into how he operates as a coach. Regardless what you think of his on...

In what many will agree was a long overdue move, Neil Lennon and Celtic finally parted ways this week, bringing to an end an association of 20+ years. It signals the end of one particular chapter for the club, but should also see the beginning of another as we approach one of the most important crossroads in our modern history. We talk CEO’s, DOF’s, MOTM’s & WTF’s in this week’s acronym filled epi...

Celtic announced this morning that Neil Lennon had resigned his position as Manager of Celtic, bringing to an end a professional association with the club going back over 20 years. For many this announcement has come several months too late however in what was one of the biggest season’s in the club’s modern history. Mif and Tino were joined by Alan Stubbs to reflect on Neil Lennon’s time at the c...

Ross County added to their League Cup win at Celtic park in November with a 1-0 League win on Sunday night to condemn Celtic to their 4th League defeat of the season. You can add those 4 defeats to the 7 draws from our 30 games so far for a total of 26 points dropped (with 8 games still to go!) Top flight football managers don't survive this kind of form (a 50% strike rate of 6 wins in 12 from 202...

Where does it stop?! Celtic hit a new low in the Highlands tonight as the 5 game winning run came to a shuddering halt with a woeful 1-0 defeat at the hands of Ross Country. A lack of quality, a lack of urgency, a lack of belief and a lack of ideas all conspired to bring us the latest instalment of this shambolic season. Tino and Mif took to the mics on the final whistle to try make sense of it al...

Celtic recorded their 5th straight league win with a 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Celtic Park, thanks to a long range strike from David Turnbull.. A result like that would usually be cause for celebration but like so much of Celtic’s play this season it was a difficult 90 minutes to endure. Getting the 3 points is always the priority, but the performance is important – it always has been at Celtic...

Celtic extended their winning streak (does 4 games count as a streak?!) with wins against St Mirren & St Johnstone this week but many fans remain disillusioned at how the club is currently operating. The much fabled "New Year Review" has now landed (at least we think that's what it is) and we speculate here on the content and what we as fans are seeking at this time. A "Review" indicates looking b...

Celtic go four wins on the spin with an Odsonne Edouard double at McDiarmid Park steering the Bhoys to a 2-1. The Hoops went a goal behind early in the second half with the Frenchman’s double proving the difference in the end. We got on the mics after the game to discuss the performance as Celtic now head into the remaining ten games of this rollercoaster league campaign. #TheCelticExchange ------...

Celtic picked up their 3rd league win on the bounce with a comfortable away win at St Mirren and we got on the mics shortly after the final whistle to cover the main talking points. Tom Rogic put in another strong performance with a goal and an assist and we definitely didn’t doubt his inclusion on twitter before the match….. (@CeltExchange) A particularly effective second half put the game beyond...

Celtic scaled the dizzy heights of two wins in a row for the first time this year with a (nervy) 2-1 win over Motherwell, following a 4-0 midweek win at Rugby Park. This week's goalkeeping has been brought to you by Scott Bain, and his part in Motherwell's goal has thrown him right back under the spotlight. Are we being too harsh? Off the park it's very much as you were with the manger looking lik...

We took to the mics immediately after the game to cover all the key talking points as Celtic reached the dizzy heights of two wins on the bounce for the first time in 2021 with a 2-1 win over Motherwell at Celtic Park. It was nervier than it should have been given the start we made to the match and we cover that and all the main talking points in today's show. #TheCelticExchange ------------------...

As time is called on Celtic’s title bid with yet another home defeat, time is also closing in on Peter Lawwell’s reign as Celtic CEO. We review his 17 years at the helm and discuss whether or not it will be deemed a success based on some incredible ‘ups’, some very recent ‘downs’, and a few "wtf's" during his time in charge. Does this move now signal the dawning of a new era for Celtic? Does Dom M...

Celtic’s ongoing lack of action – both in terms of providing clarity on the manager’s position, and on signing much needed re-enforcements during the January transfer window – is striking. On the park the search for a victory in 2021 continues with a grand total of 3 points from 12 currently all we have to show for our efforts so far. The boys discuss all of this as well as ongoing management spec...

It’s been another whirlwind week for Celtic and just as things looked to be settling down post-Dubai, Neil Lennon has come out swinging and has provided an impassioned defence of himself and his team. Like with most things Celtic just now the fans are divided on several of the points raised and we cover them and other key topics in detail in this week’s episode. We even manage to talk about the fo...

With 2021 now well underway will Celtic pull a rabbit from the hat in the transfer window or will it be more of the same in terms of “project” signings? We also look at the much criticised Dubai Training Camp and the impact that may have on the second half of the season. Tino’s joined by Mif and Keni as they discuss the above and more (including Vakoun Bayo’s Birthday no less!) on this latest epis...

Celtic dominate in the New Year Derby at Ibrox but a red card for Nir Bitton turns the game on it's head and the Bhoys leave the game with nothing to show for their efforts. Does the defeat now put an end to any hopes of Ten in a Row, and if so what next for this Celtic side under Neil Lennon? The boys talk Titles, Transfer Windows and Turnarounds in the latest instalment of a topsy turvy season!...

Odsonne Edouard’s getting his smile back, Griff’s doing what Griff does, and Celtic have now won a 5th consecutive match with a Boxing Day victory over Hamilton Accies. Have we turned that corner yet? Are we returning to form at just the right time? Ahead of an important week in the context of the season, Tino, Mif and Keni discuss all this and more on this latest episode of The Celtic Exchange. L...

Our launch episode was recorded just hours after Celtic’s dramatic Scottish Cup Final win over Hearts. A result which secured an unprecedented Quadruple Treble. All glassy eyed and misty, Tino was joined on the microphones by Mif and Anton as they reflected on this historic achievement and what it may now mean for Neil Lennon and his team over the reminder of the season.
