Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

• A Test Of Wilf-Power: How Will New Man Respond To Opening Day Hysteria?

  Celtic are a club unlike any other, and while Wilfried Nancy will have done his homework before landing in Glasgow, nothing could have prepared him for the frankly absurd backlash that followed his opening-day defeat to Hearts. Fair questions can be asked about his immediate shift to a 3-4-3, but the mockery of his tactics boards and his post-match interview has been nothing short of ridiculous. If nothing else, the past few days will have given him a crash course on life at Celtic. Next up for the new man is a pivotal double-header against Roma in the Europa League, before a League Cup Final showdown with St Mirren on Sunday. Two tough tests, unquestionably - but also the ideal stage for Nancy to silence a few critics. 🎙️ Join Tino, James, Mif & Brydo as they break it all down in the latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly.

• Nancy’s Formation Falls Short On First Test | But He Must Be Given Time To Get It Right (Preview)

  It was never going to be straightforward for Wilfried Nancy as he stepped into the shoes of a Celtic legend like Martin O’Neill - and Sunday’s debut highlighted that fact. A 2–1 defeat to Hearts wasn’t in the script for the Frenchman, and the early adoption of his preferred 3-4-3 setup has already raised eyebrows among the Celtic support. Nancy appears committed to the system, given the success it’s brought him elsewhere, but the hope now is that it begins to click with this squad sooner rather than later. With huge fixtures against Roma and St Mirren in the League Cup Final coming up this week, he’ll know - fairly or not - that time is not on his side. Finding that winning formula quickly is essential, and he’ll be desperate to put things right as quickly as possible. 🎙️ Join Tino & Conor as they break down an intriguing afternoon at Celtic Park, as Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic fall short in the top-of-the-table clash with Hearts.

• The More Things Change At Celtic, The More They Stay The Same | With Des McLean & Jim Orr

  Fans at loggerheads with the club. Tension thick in the air. Anxiety over what the future holds. It could easily describe events of the last few months - but this time we’re talking about Celtic in the early 90s, when the club lurched from one crisis to the next in what was, frankly, an existential struggle for survival at Celtic Park. Thankfully, Fergus McCann and others stepped up during those turbulent years, and in 'And If You Know The History? ' (written by Jim Orr and starring Des McLean) that story is retold with a quirky, compelling twist. Jim and Des joined us in the studio this week to talk about the show’s return and to draw parallels between those dark days and the current turmoil unfolding at Celtic. It made for an entertaining session - and a glimpse of what you can expect if you’re lucky enough to get tickets for next year’s run. 🎟️ 'And If You Know The History?' runs from 27th - 29th August 2026 at the Pavillion Theatre and tickets can be purchased now at the link below. 🔗 https://trafalgartickets.com/pavilion-theatre-glasgow/en-GB/event/play/and-if-you-know-the-history-tickets Learn more about your ad choices.

• It's O'Neill's Night As Celtic Draw Level At Top Of The Table {PREVIEW}

  🅟 Enjoy the full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange =========================== It's been a whirlwind five weeks for Martin O'Neill on his return to Celtic but the job he's done in that tine has been nothing short of remarkable. Five straight Scottish Premiership wins, a League Cup Semi victory over Rangers and a win on the road in the Europa League - and some thought he could have been in danger of tarnishing his legacy by returning...! O'Neill deserves all the praise coming his way for what he's achieved - as do Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotherinbgham & Stephen McManus - but for him the most pleasing aspect will be where he now leaves us. Last night's win over Dundee draws us level on points with Hearts at the top of the table, and with the Edinburgh side making their way to Celtic Park on Sunday its all to play for in Wilfried Nancy's first game. If he makes a fraction of the impact on Celtic as O'Neill has then we can look forward to wait awaits us under the frenchman. 🎙️ Join Tino and Joe for their review of an emotional night for Martin O'Neill as he took centre stage one last time.

• O'Neill Chasing A Perfect Seven On Celtic Park Send Off (Preview)

  🅟 Enjoy the full episode right now on our Patreon channel at https://patreon.com/celticexchange =========================== Martin O'Neill has the chance to make it a flawless seven domestic wins from seven when Celtic host Dundee on Wednesday night in what looks set to be his final act as Interim Manager (correct at time of publication). And there’s no more fitting stage for his farewell than Celtic Park. The perfect run has already earned O’Neill the November Manager of the Month award, and a victory over Stephen Pressley’s side would provide the fairytale ending to his incredible return. Sentiment aside, there’s an important job to be done by his side, and a win would heap fresh pressure on league leaders Hearts - who themselves face Kilmarnock - with the Bhoys now just two points off the summit. It promises to be an emotional night in store as we look for the perfect conclusion to a near perfect five weeks in the job for O'Neill. 🎙️ Join Tino & Greg for this one as they preview Celtic’s midweek clash with Dundee at Celtic Park.
