Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic reign couldn’t have got off to a worse start with three defeats from three in little more than a week in the job. Bizarre as it may sound, it already feels like a long road back for the Frenchman, with some making an early call in writing off his chances of ever succeeding as Celtic manager. But you don’t need to be watching too closely to see that Celtic’s problems run far deeper than the man in the dugout. We take a deeper dive into what’s really going wrong - and ask what, if anything, can be done to get the club back on track. There’s little time to catch breath though, as the fixtures coming. Nancy’s next major test now awaits at Tannadice on Wednesday night. 🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy and Brydo as they unpack another turbulent week for Celtic in the latest episode of Celtic Exchange Weekly. --------------------- 👍 Follw us wherever you get your podcasts to ensure you don't miss an episode of Celtic Exchange 🔗 Check our Patreon for EXTRA content throughout the week ⬇️ https://patreoncom/celticexchange Learn more about your ad choices.

Just over a week into the job and already under pressure from various angles, Wilfried Nancy remarkably has the chance to win the first silverware of the season this weekend. Brendan Rodgers began our League Cup journey, Martin O’Neill guided us through the semi-final win over Rangers, and now Nancy can finish the job as he makes his first trip to Hampden on Sunday to face St Mirren. The Paisley side, as we know, are well drilled under Stevie Robinson and will be determined to spoil the party. Celtic, meanwhile, will be pushing to lift the trophy for what would be the 23rd time in our history. 🍀 Enjoy this full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange =========================== To do that, we’ll need to see marked improvement on our recent outings against Hearts and Roma as Nancy targets a crucial first win as Celtic manager. 🎙️ Join the three amigos of Tino, Paddy & James for this one as they look ahead to the first final of the 2025/26 season.

As scorer of one of the two most important goals in Celtic's history, Tommy Gemmell has firmly secured his place in the Celtic history books. Voted by fans in Celtic's greatest ever XI, the marauding full back will forever be remembered as a Lisbon Lion but now a group from his hometown of Craigneuk want to ensure his legacy touches ever more lives with a special project in his name. The Tommy Gemmell Community Project aims to place a statue of the great man in the town but - as stated by the group themselves - the project is "more than a statue". In the words of Tommy's friend Martin McCrum, founder of the project its an endeavour which will "signify hope, inspiration and motivation" in Tommy's community and beyond. A lasting legacy to one of Celtic's greatest sons. We were delighted to be joined at Celtic Exchange by Martin and by Tommy's wife Mary as they shared the passion that's been driving this incredible project to new heights. 🍀 Fans who'd like to support the project and follow the progress can do so at the website below or by following "Tommy Gemmell Community Project" on social media. 🔗 https://tommygemmellcp.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

🍀 Enjoy this full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange =========================== It was a bruising night for Celtic as Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma left Glasgow with a 3-0 win on Europa League Matchday 6. Wilfried Nancy named an unchanged XI as he chased the kind of result that could ignite his Celtic tenure, but that wait goes on. Up against the Serie A high-flyers, the Bhoys couldn’t find the spark they needed. After a particularly difficult first half, a triple substitution at the break brought some improvement, but it’s clear there’s still plenty of work ahead if Nancy is to steer his side toward winning form. The defeat leaves our Europa League hopes hanging in the balance, with focus now shifting quickly to Sunday’s League Cup Final against St Mirren. 🎙️ Join Tino & Conor as they look back on a challenging night under the lights at Celtic Park.

🍀 Enjoy this full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange =========================== At time of writing Wilfried Nancy has been in Glasgow for less than a week, but it must feel like a lifetime for the Frenchman given the noise since Sunday's loss to Hearts. Thankfully the man himself seems well able to drown out the noise and accepted in his pre match press conference that it's all part of the job. Another part of the job of course is getting results and he'll be hoping he can claim just that against Roma as they come calling at Celtic Park in Europa League action. It's only Game Two for Nancy, but already it feels like a biggie. 🎙️ Join Tino & Greg as the look ahead to Europa League Matchday 6 in the latest Countdown To Kick Off.
