Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Reo Hatate stole the spotlight as Celtic’s second-half surge kept the Premiership title charge alive with just ten games to play.

The Japanese midfielder dragged his side back into it at Ibrox, inspiring a deserved draw and silencing the home crowd late on - leaving Rangers wondering what might have been.

Attention now switches to Pittodrie and a crucial midweek clash. Another three points are non-negotiable as the Bhoys continue to chase down Hearts at the summit.

Off the pitch, there’s movement too. Willie Haughey has stepped into the frame, unveiling plans aimed at restoring unity behind the scenes.

Spring may be in the air, but Celtic’s rollercoaster - on and off it - shows no sign of slowing down. Buckle up.

The brilliant Susie McCabe joined us in the studio recently to share her take on the latest happenings at Celtic in what’s been a truly chaotic season.

In a wide-ranging conversation, we dive into her Celtic upbringing, her journey into the world of comedy, and the two heroes who’ve played a huge role in shaping who she is today.

It’s a discussion that - in no particular order - takes in school football, socialist values, and sell-out tours.

And Susie doesn’t stop there. Following her own winning appearance on Celebrity Mastermind, she steps into the spotlight once again - this time taking the chair in the inaugural Celtic Exchange Mastermind Challenge!

Defeat to Hibs has made Celtic’s title push that little bit more complicated, but with 11 games and 33 points still up for grabs, this race is far from run.

There’s work to do, and concerns remain about the current squad - but it’s still all to play for. It was a setback, no doubt, yet incredibly it was Martin O’Neill’s first domestic defeat since returning this season. If anything he’ll be more determined than ever to get our challenge back on track in the games ahead.

Next up - four tricky away days: Stuttgart, Rangers, Aberdeen, then Rangers again. A defining run of fixtures and one which will go a long way to determining the success of this season.

Off the pitch, the standoff between the club and the Celtic Fans Collective drags on, with recent meetings producing few signs of progress.

A breakthrough remains the hope but the longer it takes, the more it may be too little, too late – at least in terms of salvaging something tangible from this season!

Julian Araujo becomes the latest Celtic signing to score a dramatic late winner, coming hot on the heels of his new pals Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Junior Adamu doing the same, and it's a goal which fires us right into the mix in this topsy turvy title race.

Martin O'Neill's own impressive league record over two interim spells now stands at ten wins and one draw from eleven games (no losses!) and with a game in hand the Bhoys are sitting in a solid position with twelve games now remaining.

The manager now has some massive calls to make - especially in midfield - with some vital games on the horizon across league and cup competitions, with German cracks Stuttgart next on the agenda.

This wild season of Celtic's continues, and we could be set for another huge seven days, on and off the park.

We’ll look back on the chaos of this season for years to come and wonder just how so much drama unfolded both on and off the park. We'll hopefully never experience another campaign like it - but there’s still scope for Martin O’Neill and the Bhoys to turn turmoil into triumph.

This week we break down the January transfer business and ask the big question: will the work be enough to carry us over the line? Is the arrival of Alex Oxlade Chamberlain a desperate roll of the dice - or a potential game-changer for the months ahead?

And in the aftermath of “The Boycott,” we also explore what a realistic path forward might look like between club and supporters as tensions continue. Is there a solution staring at us right now that works for everyone and helps get things back on track?

Finally, we preview a defining run of fixtures - including four away games on the spin - that should reveal everything about the character and capability of this new-look Celtic squad.

🎙️ Join Tino, Mif, Paddy & James as they tackle all this and more in the latest episode of Celtic Exchange Weekly.
