Capital Punishment as Celts Fall 8 Behind Hearts

Darren is joined by Danny and Tony to pick through the wreckage of Celtic’s bruising 3–1 defeat at Tynecastle — a result that leaves the champions eight points adrift of league leaders Hearts. The lads dissect a torrid afternoon in the capital, from rookie centre-half Dane Murray’s nightmare outing to a second half that completely fell apart.


With the title race slipping away and performances flatlining, the discussion turns to the ramifications for the manager, whether his position should now be under real scrutiny, and why the Celtic support must keep the pressure on the Board as standards continue to slide.


It’s a raw, honest episode full of frustration, analysis, and a bit of humour — classic 4 Tims energy when things go wrong in green and white.
