The Celtic Underground

The Celtic Da Podcast returns   You can have all your whipper snapper podcasts with your Xthis and that but there is only one podcast that can continually hark back to the 90s and earlier and it’s this one - the world’s longest running football fans podcast.   We’re now in our 18th season (19th year) and although we may have taken a break, you can be sure that we will always have something old and...

We’re in the mix Tonight, before recording this podcast, I was in a whatsapp debate about how to describe the draw with Shaktar. I described it as brilliant, others said disappointing. Personally I couldn’t see how you could describe an away UCL prefromance wehere we should and could have won by 2-4 goals as disappointing. Yes, there’s disappointment that we didn’t win but surely it’s absolutely b...

The Celtic Steamroller   Saturday 3rd September Celtic played Rangers.  Saturday 3rd September Celtic toyed with Rangers. We played them off the park in the first half and coasted the second.  You got the impression that if Ange had told the team at half-time that they needed to score another 4, we could have.   We start the podcast with a quick exert from the Heart & Hand Podcast that someone...

When we started this podcast (did I mention it’s the world’s longest running football fans podcast) we never thought it would last 17 seasons. It’s ebbed and flowed and the young kids have arrived with their xg, xa, xt, abc, easy as 1,2,3 but we’ll always be here - the middle aged podcast for the middle aged fan who loves the hoops and gets mildly irritated. And so we are back for that record brea...

Celtic today secured a draw against Rangers to put us just one win from the title. It's the 4th time in a row we have secured either a draw or win against the team from the South Side of the city. It's a game that Celtic had the chances to put to bed before the Rangers equaliser. We didn't and a few players looked exhausted towards the end but we held on, secured the draw and now only a dire chang...

The podcast is back (again) after a midseason break Now where were we....ah that's right, we're on track for a treble! Sorry it's been so long but you know how it is, life, work, IT issues - they all get in the way of creating the latest episode of the world's longest running football fans podcast. Anyway, the IT issues have been resolved (like most I'm not sure about volume of hours in work) but...

Ange-ball Rolls On   Celtic have tonight come through what was at times a very nervy evening (a very self-inflicted one) to progress to the group stages of the Europa League and they can now prepare for Sunday.   I was unsure about organising a post game podcast.  I always recall Mark Cooper bemoaning that everytime I organised one with hime we lost.  But I am not a believer in “what’s for you won...

The Game Episode 6 - Udinese draw and F’ UEFA The current situation at Celtic could be better and so our guest wanted to pick a game from happier times. It’s the winter of 2011 and the team has had a dramatic turnaround since being 3 nil down at Rugby Park and Neil Lennon looked like being on the way out. They pulled things back in the 2nd half of that game and started to really motor. At the same...
