Celtic finally got the win they so badly needed — and on the balance of play, they deserved it. A 3–1 victory over Aberdeen brings breathing space for Wilfried Nancy and, just as importantly, restores a sense of separation at the top, with Celtic and Hearts beginning to pull clear of the rest of the pack. From the first whistle, Celtic played well. The performance closely resembled the Dundee United game in midweek: dominant possession, sharp interchanges, and a relentless ab

Celtic host Aberdeen in what now feels like a defining moment of Wilfried Nancy’s short, turbulent tenure. After three defeats from three, the margin for error has all but disappeared. Another failure to win here, and the pressure moves from uncomfortable to suffocating. This is no longer about bedding in ideas or allowing time for philosophy to develop. Celtic need a result — badly. Confidence is fragile, the crowd will be edgy, and anything other than a convincing performan

Celtic face St Mirren in the cup final with silverware on the line and pressure never far away. It’s been a few weeks since the last preview — apologies for the radio silence — work’s been relentless and I’ve not been able to catch as many games as usual. But this one feels too big not to dive back in. It’s also a significant early moment in the Wilfried Nancy era. His appointment has come with immediate scrutiny, and while his opening fixtures have been tough, the reaction f

Celtic make the trip to Rotterdam tonight for a huge European challenge in the 2025/26 season, facing a Feyenoord side that remains aggressive, front-foot and fiercely difficult to play against at De Kuip. It’s a night that will test Celtic’s bravery on the ball and their discipline without it. The Opposition Feyenoord at home are exactly what you expect: intense pressing, rapid transitions, wide overloads, and midfield runners arriving in numbers. And although their squad ha

Wilfried Nancy is increasingly being linked with the Celtic job, with reports suggesting he is in advanced talks and looks likely to be appointed. If confirmed, it would be a bold, forward-thinking choice: a coach with a clear identity, a proven record of improving players, and a style of football that aligns naturally with Celtic’s demands. Background and Coaching Journey Nancy began his football career in France as a defender, representing clubs such as Toulon, Noisy-le-Sec

Celtic left Paisley with all three points, but little else to write home about, after a turgid 1–0 win over St Mirren that did nothing to ease concerns over the team’s recent performances. For 90 minutes it was a grim, bitty match short on quality, tempo or invention — until Callum McGregor stepped up with a moment of brilliance to rescue a result that looked to be drifting away. A Flat and Frustrating Display For long spells, Celtic struggled badly to impose any sort of rhyt

What should have been a routine AGM at Celtic Park turned into one of the most chaotic and confrontational shareholder meetings in recent memory, ending in an early adjournment after open protests, furious exchanges, and a board utterly misreading the mood of the room. 🎬 Flashpoint: Attempt to Play Propaganda VT Sparks Outrage The trouble began almost immediately. As Peter Lawwell tried to move proceedings onto a glossy “year in review” video — widely viewed as a piece of se

The dust has barely settled on Brendan Rodgers’ abrupt departure, yet the focus has already shifted to who will take charge of Celtic long term. At this stage, Wilfried Nancy of Columbus Crew appears to be the front-runner for the role. The French coach has earned huge plaudits for his work in MLS, guiding the Crew to a championship title with a bold, possession-based style and strong emphasis on player development. However, as things stand, there’s nothing concrete to sugges

Exactly the response Celtic needed. After a frustrating midweek in Europe, Martin O’Neill’s side came out with purpose, intensity, and control — and the result was a dominant 4–0 win that never looked in doubt. From the first whistle, Celtic were on the front foot — sharper in possession, quicker in transition, and relentless in pressing Kilmarnock back. The visitors tried to keep things tight early on, but once the first goal went in, it became one-way traffic. Tierney took

Celtic return to Celtic Park this afternoon looking to respond after a difficult midweek and keep their domestic momentum on track. Kilmarnock, now under Stuart Kettlewell, arrive in poor form but still capable of causing problems — a side that started the season well but has since struggled to maintain consistency. What to Expect from Kilmarnock Kettlewell has tried to inject energy and organisation into this Kilmarnock side, but results haven’t followed lately. They’re stru

Apologies for no preview tonight — I’m in the middle of packing for a move this weekend and completely lost track of time. Unfortunately, Celtic looked like they’d rather have been anywhere else too. This was an awful performance from start to finish. Midtjylland, a club operating on barely a quarter of Celtic’s budget, completely outplayed and outfought us. The 3–1 scoreline actually flatters Celtic — it could easily have been far worse. From the first whistle, the Danish si

Celtic are heading to the League Cup Final after a thrilling 3–1 extra-time win over Rangers, and it was a performance full of control, grit, and real quality when it mattered most. The first half saw Rangers start brightly, creating a couple of decent chances, but Celtic gradually took command of the game. Once they settled, the difference in composure and structure was clear — Celtic dictated play, moved the ball confidently, and carved out opportunities that really should’

It’s derby day again — and this one has real weight. A place in the League Cup Final is on the line, and both sides come into it with something to prove. Celtic are gathering momentum under Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney, while Rangers, now under Danny Röhl, finally look like a side with structure, confidence, and belief. What to Expect from Rangers Danny Röhl has wasted no time stamping his mark on Rangers. Two wins from two in domestic competition have brought a noticeabl

The results of the latest Celtic fan survey are finally in — and supporters have sent a clear message to the club: it’s time for real progress both on the park and behind the scenes. Thousands of fans took part, sharing their views on everything from matchday experience to club communication. The key themes are impossible to ignore — Celtic supporters want investment, modernisation and a stronger connection between the boardroom and the stands. 💚 The Big Takeaways 1. Expande

The news cycle hasn’t stopped since Brendan Rodgers’ shock exit — and now, attention has quickly turned from the dugout to the boardroom. Strong rumours are circulating tonight that Michael Nicholson could be set to move on from his role as Celtic CEO, with reports suggesting that Peter Lawwell may also finally be stepping aside as chairman. In their place, Susan Whelan, formerly of Leicester City, has been heavily linked with the CEO position — a figure known for her sharp c

The first 20 minutes felt cagey — Celtic looked uncertain, still settling into life under Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney. But once they found their rhythm, it was a completely different side. The tempo lifted, the ball moved with purpose, and suddenly everything clicked. From that point on, it was the best Celtic have looked all season. Passes were crisp, forward play was sharp, and there was real intent every time they broke forward. The tempo was quicker, the movement mor

What to Expect from Falkirk Falkirk arrive at Celtic Park with confidence and energy. While they may not have the star quality of a Premiership side, they are well-organised and physically robust, capable of making life difficult if Celtic allow them space. Set-pieces and second balls will be key weapons for them, and expect them to test Celtic’s defensive resolve early. They’ll likely press in pockets, look to disrupt rhythm, and hit quickly on the counter. For a Celtic side

Rodgers is gone, and the hunt for his replacement is already underway. But let’s be clear: Celtic need a long-term appointment who can handle European nights, domestic pressure, and the often tricky boardroom politics. Anything short of a manager with real experience and ambition risks repeating the frustrations fans have seen in recent years. Here’s a realistic look at the candidates who could step into Rodgers’ shoes. Ange Postecoglou — the fan favourite Ange remains the cl

Dermot Desmond’s statement to supporters, released in the wake of Brendan Rodgers’ sudden exit, reads less like reassurance and more like reputation management. Ostensibly written to calm the waters, it instead comes across as a carefully worded attempt to pin Celtic’s current mess squarely on Rodgers, while sparing the board — and Desmond’s own inner circle — from any meaningful scrutiny. ⚽ Rodgers: The Self-Serving Scapegoat There’s no denying Brendan Rodgers’ second spell
