Rumour on our bus Martin is retiring tomorrow.
{Ed007's Note - That was going round WhatsApp last night.}
20 Sep 2026 14:51:13
Probably nonsense.
20 Sep 2026 14:52:43
If he does retire which a think he should do, as long as he takes the rest of the staff way him. no point him going and passing reigns to those duds. It’s a bad day when non professional people who love football and most the pundits in country can blatantly see the issues but the men who are paid the big buck can’t.
there’s is no fight or grit anywhere on the park. No spine. they should all hang there heads in shame. brass necks the lot of them.
20 Sep 2026 14:56:30
As much as I think he should, I can't see it happening.
20 Sep 2026 15:05:16
Heard the same rumour a week or so ago. We can only hope it true. We all love Martin but he should never have got the job. Let's hope maloney moves on as well.
20 Sep 2026 14:52:16
Do you think Roy Keane at today's game is something the board are considering Edd? I know it's hurting at the moment but this international break is coming at a good time. Edd is there a podcast tonight?
{Ed007's Note - Yes mate, 6:30. K.O. 👍🏻🍀
20 Sep 2026 15:18:19
MON really needs to go, to be asked if we are playing a 5-3-2 or a 3-5-2 and he says "I'm not sure" tells me that either Maloney is picking the team and formation or he honestly hasn't got a clue what he is doing.
20 Sep 2026 16:16:41
Maloney is not picking the team. 100% he is a fan of Ox.
20 Sep 2026 17:46:07
everything coming back to bite now. poor recruitment, poorly run recruitment dept if any. everything left too late or if any real effort was made to buy. rogers was correct expecting a Ferrari but ending up with a robin reliant.
20 Sep 2026 17:58:31
He needs to retire now. It was always a strange and uninspiring appointment. He should be remembered fondly before things get much worse. I'm not sure how I feel about Keane. He doesn't exactly scream 'take us forward' but at least we shouldn't see such bizarre decisions being made and I think there's a few that would get a kick up the arse or dropped.

McCowan before Ox?
20 Sep 2026 10:55:13
Is that a 3-5-1-1 with Benji as a 10 or 3-5-2?
20 Sep 2026 10:55:21
Glad there's a change in formation but why is Luke McGowan getting a start.
20 Sep 2026 10:56:30
Looks like a 352?
20 Sep 2026 11:00:09
It looks like a 4-4-1-1 formation
Sinisalo
Donovan CCV Trusty Scales
McCowan Calmac Baur KT
Nygren
Duran
A more solid team and then unleash pace for the last 25 minutes.
20 Sep 2026 11:10:36
How bad is that team? Looks like we are deliberately trying to get gubbed.
20 Sep 2026 11:12:25
Is that a 5-4-1?
Wasn't expecting that at all.
20 Sep 2026 11:22:09
I think McInnes would have been.
20 Sep 2026 11:24:27
Luke pissed bed this fixture an let us all down badly, was hooked at halftime last time he started one of these games if my menu is correct, I’m fizzing.
20 Sep 2026 11:24:28
7 out the 10 outfield players left peggers?

Celtic plc isn't a serious club with ambition. Its all about money. Podcast finishes 🤣🤣.
19 Sep 2026 21:34:26
I was told a cuppla things tonight from a mate that Martin will quit on Monday through regardless of the result tomorrow due to health issues and also that Brendan Rodgers and Willie Haughey are trying to put together a consortium to buy out Desmond, have you heard anything about this Ed?
{Ed007's Note - Haughey and Rodgers 😂😂 There's more chance of Haughey, McStay and their backers joining Baby Desmond to oust his dad.....
19 Sep 2026 22:23:14
Same br that shat on us for. Leicester then shat the bed last year.
19 Sep 2026 23:58:52
Think BR was the one that got shat on twice trying to drag this club out of the dark ages.
20 Sep 2026 21:10:26
Chasabhoy, 100%, Brendan Rodgers is a top manager who has been sold short twice by Desmond and Lawwell.
17 Sep 2026 23:10:11
Stiliyan Petrov has said he doesn't think Martin is managing the team these tactics do not seem like him, if this is true then that'll be why it took so long to agree fozzy n Shaun's wages.
Celtic need to win on SUNDAY.
18 Sep 2026 07:43:27
So its looking like maloney is actually manager? Martin is just a face to appease the fans for a season. If all goes well? At the end of the season maloney gets it full time and we are told it was him all season?
The board knew after the Keane fiasco we would never accept maloney. So put Martin as a face and see if the experiment works?
There is little to no communication between throughout the game.
18 Sep 2026 08:07:51
The whole club is a mess. Our strategic plan is to be just a little bit better than sevco. Ferencvaros were mince last night and still comfortably beat us.
I'm scunnered with the club. I bought the Europa league package instead of trusting my gut. The club don't take Europe seriously at all.
Our starting XI and subs yesterday were shocking. It's 2026 and James Forrest is starting in a European game for us.
Getting out run in midfield and the management teams answer is to make us even more lightweight by going 442. Absolute shambles.
18 Sep 2026 08:21:14
I think you’re onto something Del, tactically Celtic are stinking rotten. There’s no team cohesion or a plan or strategy or so it seems x.
18 Sep 2026 08:28:11
Its hardly a secret that your watching a Maloney team.
18 Sep 2026 10:19:12
Ed thanks for not removing my x on the end of the message 😂.
{Ed007's Note - I did think about it.... 🤭
19 Sep 2026 02:01:36
Neil Lennon said the same thing if this is true it’s unfair that MON is tacking the flack Maloney should be the one facing the media.

He honestly must be taking the piss here.
17 Sep 2026 18:55:14
Celtic are allowed to list 12 subs in European games so why only list 10 subs.
How embarrassing is that for the players in the stand who are part of a squad of 25 players but the Manager would rather keep two spaces empty in the dugout for you to sit in the Stand.
17 Sep 2026 19:15:04
My apologies to Martin because that is all the players we have available from our European squad.
I would like to see Forrest and Hassan swapping wings throughout the first half.
17 Sep 2026 19:40:21
I see tonight as a 50/ 50 game.
As for our team and bench, no comment.
HH.
17 Sep 2026 19:52:40
I’ve bet at least 2 Celtic goals and at least 6 Celtic corners and at least 2 away bookings @ 3/ 1.
But I added at least 2 Bournemouth bookings against Real Sociedad for a Boosted 9/ 2.
16 Sep 2026 12:47:58
Just to add to the sh@tgood factor Duran missed training and is a major doubt for next 2 games.
16 Sep 2026 13:45:48
Hopefully The Sun are just speculating because Martin hasn’t confirmed he’s injured yet.
16 Sep 2026 17:44:41
Apparently he is in London sorting his visa for Colombia call up. No injury.
16 Sep 2026 17:59:11
Thank god.
17 Sep 2026 06:57:32
He’s not injured he was down in London sorting something to do with his visa.

After yesterday yet again when things are going wrong on the pitch and yet again we are being overrun in midfield, we had to change shape at half time but no every sub is like for like do we not do anything different in training because there is no plan B.
At times yesterday when we were trying to close them down Nygren was the furthest forward and the space for them in midfield was ridiculous but not one of our management team could see this and put an extra midfielder at half time.
We have learnt nothing from the LASK game and every team now knows our shape and how we will play.
Why have we got to play with 2 wingers every game can we not a 4 5 1 or 3 5 2 or 4 4 2, teams do not have to do any home work on us because we have been playing this system for years now so we do not surprise any team.
The next 2 games are huge because if we perform like we did yesterday l cannot see us getting anything out of both games.
14 Sep 2026 18:13:18
I’m sure Martin mentioned he was going to tweak our formation for this season after he was given the permanent position.
Yet after the transfer window we still play the same predictable way and are often left exposed against decent opposition.
14 Sep 2026 19:13:47
Paul it’s criminal to not react during game to what's clearly happening, how we allowed one player to come in field and create an overload when we done it effectively to rest of league is beyond me, i'm not a coach or expert so i'm not offering solutions but I expect our coaches to, I expect the players to recognise also and to take responsibility on pitch to nullify what was happening, sevco I don’t think played great, I think they ran great, pressed great and got rewards for efforts.
14 Sep 2026 20:25:46
Every team in Scotland, and any team in Europe, with even a basic idea of the game can see that Celtic don't respond well to the high press and we have not done anything to resolve this.
We play an archaic system which is so glaringly obvious that a pub team could set up against us and we might scrape a 1-0 victory - they don't even need to send anyone to watch our games to know how to set up against us. The manager's must be like "Just press them from the off and they'll s**t the bed".
At this rate, the Europa league is going to be a demolition derby. LASK decimated us, so imagine what Benfica, Marseille, Ferencvaros and Celta Vigo must be thinking? Even the other teams will be thinking they could take us.
Fact is, Tounekti is not good enough, Hassan should have been on from the start, Duran and Hogh should be playing in a 3-5-2 system, instead of playing our most consistent striker as an inconsistent winger.
We still need a box-to-box midfielder, Johnstone should never be allowed in our goal again (Sinisalo must have had a slight chuckle at someone with worse distribution than him) , and why on earth did we bring in a LB with an injury, knowing he had an injury and keeping him on loan (with no chance of signing him permanently) despite said injury?
I don't like to throw negativity at our team, as it's usually very counter productive and unfair, especially when aimed against players who should be given a chance, but I am a very concerned fan.

14 Sep 2026 18:00:34
so who replaces mcgregor? there's nobody there in the squad to step in. they sold most of the midfielders and never replaced them.
{Ed007's Note - Ox...see how Sorenson or VDB do in certain games. At least Ox has some positional sense and can read the game better than CalMac., remember Bitton was slow as a week in the dub but he could read the game and "knew" where he needed to be in passages of play.}
14 Sep 2026 18:37:38
Sadly I think everyone knew we had to get a good holding midfielder in at this window Sadly that was ignored by someone or group of people for whatever reasons they will come up with. No one picking up players when we are in defence the Lask game showed it up clearly yet ignored by the team. I am not going to blame any one person it's far more than that. A lot of crazy things happened in that game let's hope the coaching team and all the players have let it sink in. Watch the game back and show how bad we actually are in defence and midfield This isn't a knee jerk reaction some of the play we had was so terrible buld from the back was a complete joke 2-0 down yet we still went goalkeeper passing to Scales that got closed down who had to pass it back to the goalkeeper who was underprssure by then and went to a Rangers player most of the time after that it was crazy yet we kept on doing the same thing each time.
Sorry for the rant but I just don't get it with them.
14 Sep 2026 19:01:34
Spot on ED.
{Ed007's Note - 👍🍀
14 Sep 2026 19:15:09
Cal had a stinker during week we forget.
14 Sep 2026 20:15:28
During the week? It’s been 18 months he’s stunk out the team.
14 Sep 2026 20:19:48
Why does calmac have to keep dropping so deep. At points yesterday with Calmac playing as an additional CB and Nygren as a shadow striker Baur was left completely alone in the middle.
14 Sep 2026 20:38:06
Agree with Ed007, Calmac needs some time on the bench and Ox, who has massively improved since day 1, should be given his chance.
McGregor gets caught out positionally so often it is painful to watch and he is consistently responsible for costly turnovers, particularly in difficult matches.
It's not becoming of our captain and it's such a shame, because in years gone by he has been a hero and midfield standout; however, if you know you'll be first on the team sheet no matter what and you have no challengers, inconsistency will set in and you won't even recognise it, especially when you are rewarded with a guaranteed spot in the match day squad.
15 Sep 2026 14:06:02
No dig in midfield and a defence that crumble under pressure, the same problem we’ve had for years and we never sign the type of players we need, boards wait n see strategy backfires spectacularly yet again, a youth team player from Holland and a loanee from Parma not good enough.
