4 Tims and a Podcast
A Statement, a Boycott, and Another Failed Celtic Transfer Window
This week on 4 Tims and a Podcast, the lads dig into a turbulent few days for Celtic FC and the growing unrest around the club.
We lead with the supporter boycott announced for this weekend’s Scottish Cup tie at home to Dundee FC. We break down the rationale behind the protest, gauge the reaction from fans and media, and give our honest take on whether the boycott is justified or counter-productive.
Attention then turns to another deeply underwhelming transfer window. With Celtic opting only for short-term loan deals and failing to secure any permanent signings, we ask the hard questions: is this squad actually equipped to push on for another league title, or have the board once again let both the manager and the supporters down?
We also discuss the rumoured move for free agent Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, weighing up what he could realistically offer and whether it would signal genuine ambition or simply paper over the cracks.
Finally, we react in real time to an impromptu statement from interim chairman Brian Wilson, released on Celtic’s social media just minutes before we hit record, and unpack what it says about the club’s current direction — and disconnection.
As always, honest opinions, frustration, and plenty to debate. 🍀🎙️
