Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Celtic opened the new Scottish Premiership campaign with a 1-0 win over Dundee on Flag Night at Celtic Park - but did the performance match the occasion?

Tino and Conor break down the result, the overall display and the competitive debuts of new arrivals Camilo Duran and Kasper Høgh.

They also discuss:

🍀 What the opening game told us about Martin O’Neill’s New (ish) Look Celtic
🔑 The key areas that still need improving
💰 Celtic’s latest transfer speculation, both in and out

Three points are on the board, but with that vital Champions League playoff agaisnt LASk fast approaching, we can all agree that there's still plenty of work to be done to get this squad even close to where it should be.

The new season is almost here... and Celtic's biggest week of the summer could also be about to kick in!

With just seven days until Flag Day, the panel look ahead to the start of the new campaign as Celtic close in on what looks set to be a club-record deal for Danish frontman Kasper Hogh.

And further moves for Mika Baur and Haissem Hassan could also be in the pipeline as Martin O'Neill looks to transform his frontline ahead of the start of our title defence.

This week we discuss:

🍀 A huge week for Celtic? We assess the imminent arrival of Kasper Hogh, what Camilo Duran has already shown in pre-season, and whether Celtic's summer recruitment is finally gathering real momentum.

🎙️ RAC. Recruitment, Ambition & Communication. Has the club turned a corner, or do the same fundamental questions remain around strategy, leadership and the relationship with supporters?

🎬 A landmark week for The Celtic Exchange. We reflect on the incredible launch of At The End Of A Storm, our premiere night at Grace's, and the response from supporters around the world

🇯🇵 Finally we say farewell to Daizen Maeda and ask if he's Celtic's greatest ever Japanese player.

The Celtic Exchange has gone stateside - at least for a few days - as Tino and Paddy crossed the Atlantic to soak up the World Cup atmosphere in the Big Apple.

The trip also provided the perfect opportunity to visit the Manhattan CSC at Ernie O'Malley's, where Club President Stevie Wright joined the lads on stage for a special live recording to discuss the latest happenings - or lack thereof - at Celtic Park.

A huge thanks to Stevie, the staff and all the members for the warm welcome. It was a brilliant afternoon in fantastic company and a real pleasure to chat, debate and share all things Celtic with such a passionate group of supporters.

Enjoy the episode. And if you ever find yourself in Manhattan when Celtic are playing, you'll know exactly where to go. 🍀

Celtic's summer has finally started to move... but has it moved anywhere near enough?

This week on the Celtic Exchange Weekly, we discuss the official arrival of Camilo Duran, the growing speculation surrounding Callum McGregor's surprise change of agent, and whether Celtic's communication with supporters is creating more uncertainty than reassurance.

We also take a look at the appointment of new set-piece coach Ross Grant, ask whether this signals genuine modernisation behind the scenes, and debate whether lessons have really been learned from last summer's transfer window.

This week's talking points include:

🇨🇴 Camilo Duran officially joins Celtic – what can supporters expect?

🅲 Martin O'Neill's response to the McGregor speculation.

⚽️ Ross Grant's set-piece goals.

🍀 Why supporters still want to hear more from the club's leadership.

As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Would you keep Callum McGregor at all costs, or would you accept the right offer if one arrived?

It's been a relatively slow start to the summer for Celtic world, but there are finally signs that things may be starting to move.

If the latest reports are accurate, we could be on the verge of completing the first two signings of the summer, with striker Camilo Duran and midfielder Alfie Devine both heavily linked with moves to Glasgow.

Should those deals get over the line, they'd represent a welcome step forward after what's been a frustratingly sluggish transfer window so far.

Those arrivals would come hot on the heels of the re-signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - a move that's divided opinion among the support - as Martin O'Neill continues shaping his squad ahead of the new campaign.

Elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou has followed a path now well worn by former Celtic managers, as he takes charge of Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. His Celtic successor is the one that paved the way and its bizarre to think that two will soon lock horns over there in league action.

While few could question the financial appeal of the opportunity, many supporters have been left somewhat saddened by the decision, of a man who professed to be all about the fooitball. Mif is very much one of those supporters 😢

We also round up the latest from the World Cup, where Auston Trusty is now Celtic's sole remaining representative as the tournament heads into its final couple of weeks.

🎙️ Join Tino, Mif & James as they discuss all of that and plenty more in this latest episode of Celtic Exchange Weekly.
