Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

After three weeks of doom, gloom and just about everything else, Celtic are finally back in business!

A 2-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park, three points in the bag, a return to the top of the table - and the small matter of Jota making his long-awaited return to competitive action. A decent Sunday afternoon, all things considered!

Tino is joined by James and Brydo for the latest Celtic Exchange Weekly as the Bhoys get back to winning ways and give supporters some much-needed reasons to smile.

The lads discuss what changed against Motherwell, some increasingly interesting selection dilemmas for Martin O'Neill, and just how big an impact the returning Jota could have in the weeks and months ahead.

But with tougher challenges on the horizon, including a European trip to Benfica, the big question remains...

Have Celtic finally turned a corner, or are we getting a bit carried away after one overdue victory?

🎙️ Tune in now to the latest Celtic Exchange Weekly and join the debate!

It’s been an eventful weekend around Celtic, with protests, club statements, counter statements, and plenty of debate over what happens next.

Tino, James and Brydo discuss the protest involving Dermot Desmond at St Andrews, whether it crossed a line, and whether Celtic’s strongly worded response has helped or simply added to the tension.

We also look at the Celtic Fans Collective’s response, the wider relationship between supporters and the club, and the bigger question of where all of this goes from here.

Plus, following our recent interview with David Low, we discuss the suggestion that Celtic are at an “inflection point” — and there’s also reaction to Brendan Rodgers’ sold-out Glasgow event in June 2027.

🎙️ Catch all of the above and more in the latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly

David Low returns to The Celtic Exchange for a no holds barred conversation on Celtic’s finances, the boardroom, the forthcoming AGM and whether the club could now be approaching an important “inflection point”.

With Celtic posting a £4.8m loss and Champions League income once again absent, David gives his view on the club’s financial position - but also on the bigger questions surrounding Celtic’s leadership, direction and willingness to evolve.

We also look ahead to the AGM, Celtic Supporters Limited’s proposed shareholder resolution, Brian Wilson’s position as interim chairman and the wider issue of supporter influence.

And on Dermot Desmond, David is clear on where he believes the real power at Celtic still lies - while also discussing what the club could potentially be worth if ownership were ever to change.

Also discussed:

"Managed decline”

New Directors Mark Keane and Raymond Buchanan

Celtic Supporters Ltd & The Celtic Season Ticket Alliance Trust

Brendan Rodgers & Willie Haughey Takeover Rumours

The Future Ownership of Celtic

A fascinating and occasionally hard-hitting conversation about where Celtic are now - and what may come next.

Every Celtic supporter has a story. This is Mif’s - and, just as importantly, it’s now Jacob and Ben’s too.

In this first episode of Your Celtic Story, Tino sits down with Mif and his two sons to talk about the memories, the people and the moments that have shaped their lives as Celtic supporters.

From their earliest games, to the rituals of now going to Celtic Park together, this is less about results and trophies and more about the memories that get passed from one generation to the next.

That’s the idea at the heart of Your Celtic Story.

A chance to sit down, take some time, and properly record the stories that might otherwise only ever be told in fragments - on the way to the game, in the pub afterwards, or around the family table.

The finished recording becomes something special to keep, to share with family, and to look back on years from now.

For Mif, Jacob and Ben, this is their Celtic story so far. Yours will be completely different - and that’s exactly the point.

There might not have been a Celtic game this weekend, but there’s still plenty to get into. Martin O’Neill remains in charge, Celtic remain top of the league, and with the international break still dragging on, the big question is whether the manager can use this time to steady things after three straight defeats.

What has to change first, who formation is the way ahead, and how important could the returns of Alistair Johnston, Yang and eventually Jota prove?

We also take a closer look at Celtic’s latest financial results, with revenue down sharply, operating costs up, a pre-tax loss recorded - and yet £66.4m still sitting in the bank at year-end. What does that actually tell us about the club’s strategy? What are Celtic trying to achieve? And how should supporters interpret another set of figures that raise as many questions as answers?

And finally with the Tennents Sixes returning, we finish on something a bit more fun by picking our ultimate Celtic six-a-side teams from any era.

🎙️ Tino's joined by James, Brydo and Paddy to discuss all of that and more on this week’s Celtic Exchange Weekly.
