The Celtic Underground

It happened! We lost! 3 Players slipped on their arse, the goal keeper had a headrush and pulled down a Hearts player and we thumped it long all second half. Apart from that we also played poorly…! Yet despite ALL of this we remain top of the league and remain on course for another title and part of the way there to a remarkable back to back treble. We broke a 100 year record and went 69 games unb...

The past week has seen Celtic lose a two goal defecit to Hibs (a game we should have won by 5 or 6) followed by the Europa League Draw, followed by a FREEZING victory over Hamilton and then all rounded off with a lovely Christmas letter to all season book holders from the club. With such an action packed week we’ve already squeezed a podcast extra in but have also decided to get @LachieMor1 back o...

The slump continues as Celtic reach 69 games unbeaten in domestic football. At this rate we’ll be slumping ourselves to back to back trebles! Following on from completely dominating the game against Hibs but losinga 2 goal lead we had the visit of Hamilton. An excellent strike and a Jozo gift almost lead to Hamilton getting two goals in this game too but in truth this was a game that would only ev...

Tuesday night was a pivotal game in our season.  Provided we didn’t lose by 3 or more goals we could enjoy European football after Christmas and this was achieved but perhaps not in the way we would have liked…but we’re there. Following the complaint by Mark Cooper that he always gets the graveyard shift of a post Euro defeat I decided to get another guest on this weeks podcast and so we have Lach...

Well that was the PSG double header then…12-1. We all knew we would get beaten by the most expensive team ever and whilst none of us like heavy defeats, to channel my inner half glass full guy, there were some positives to take from that game…not many, but more than the home leg. Immediately following the game i decided to ring up my pal Mark in Argentina in an attempt to pick the bones out of the...

This week I am joined by St Anthony in a chat that was supposed to be about our marvellous 100 yr record breaking achievement but in typical Celtic Underground Podcast fashion it went on a meander.   We started with the Anfield Wrap (neither of us could remember the name) briefly touched on the winning run and then got onto the meat and bones of the team and the challenges of team building.  It fi...

This week Harry is joined by Guardian Football and Golf correspondent Ewan Murray. If you pick up your copy of the Guardian at the local paper you will be aware of Ewan for his coverage of the major games in Scottish football and perhaps have worked out that he is a Jambo. If you’re aware of Ewan from his online presence you will either like him or loathe him or see him simply as a “hurting Hun”....

Celtic have fanzines older than some top flight clubs - Not The View is 30! For fans under the age of 40 it’s always been there but for those of us of a certain age it was an essential part of Celtic culture growing up. Perhaps it was the arrival of Souness at Rangers that spawned it or perhaps it was just luck but with everything that happened at Celtic in the first 7 years of its existance NTV w...

This weeks podcast extra is Brendantastic.  We start off with a brief chat before Brendan went on stage for his book launch at the Armadillo in Glasgow and then we have both Brendan and Leigh in fine fettle after the 1-1 home draw against Kilmarnock.   There is irritation in from Leigh about the failure to get a win and frustration in Brendan’s body language but none of us will complain if we get...

Sorry for the break for the past few weeks but we’ve been busy but we’re back. A football fans podcast from the guys behind The Celtic Underground and now in our 12th season possibly the greatest time in those 12 years to be a fans of the hoops and maybe longer. Officially the best football fans in the world, we support a great team that is also in a different league to the rest of Scottish footba...

Following the comfortable 2-0 victory in our second Glasgow Derby of the season (after a more tightly contested game against Glasgow’s second club at Firhill) we now have perhaps our most important Champions League game of the season coming up. With such an important fixture I thought I’d continue our new podcast guests with a foreign based journalist, from Airdrie, working for a French news agenc...

We Battered Them   Make no mistake, whilst this wasn’t another 5-1 victory we once again showed, on their patch, that the newest version of Rangers Football Club are a million miles away from competing with Celtic.  Not only are they a million miles away from competing with Celtic but as today’s league table shows, they’re quite a way from being the second or even 3rd best team in Scotland.   Audi...

Prior to Michael we ha...
