Celtic in Cruise Control at Fir Park as Jota Returns + Benfica Preview
š 4 Tims and a Podcast | Celtic Bounce Back at Fir Park & Benfica Preview
Darren is joined by Danny, Andy and Tony for the latest episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast as Celtic get back to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park!
After three consecutive defeats, the Bhoys returned from the international break with a point to prove, and we discuss whether this performance was the response the team desperately needed. We break down the standout performers, including Mika Baur and Kieran Tierney, assess the overall display, and ask whether Celtic have finally turned a corner or if the real test is still to come.
With a much tougher run of fixtures on the horizon in October, can this win provide the platform for a revival, or are there still reasons for concern?
We then turn our attention to Thursday nightās daunting trip to Lisbon to face Portuguese giants Benfica. With optimism in short supply among the support, we discuss the challenge awaiting Celtic, what Martin O'Neill's side need to do to compete, and whether the Bhoys can spring a surprise on the European stage.
Is the win at Fir Park the start of something special, or are Celtic heading into another difficult spell?

4TimsWeekly - O'Neill Looks Set To Stay, Financial Figures Out and Brendan On The Way Back to Glasgow!
40:50|The international break gives Darren, Tony and Andy plenty of time to take a step back and ask some big questions about Celtic.First up, Martin OāNeill looks set to remain in the Celtic dugout despite a difficult month. Is sticking with OāNeill the right call, or should the club have used the international break to take matters out of his hands and begin the search for a replacement?The latest financial figures are also under the microscope ā and they make for some pretty grim reading, with a number of key figures heading in the wrong direction. But while the numbers tumble, where is the accountability? We discuss why there appears to be so little consequence for those at the top of the club, including CEO Michael Nicholson and CFO Chris McKay, when it comes to the financial and strategic direction of Celtic.And then thereās Brendan Rodgers.The former Celtic manager is set to return to Glasgow next June, around a year and a half after his dramatic departure last October. We look at the live event heāll be taking part in, what might be said, and whether we could be in for an awkward ā or revealing ā reunion given the criticism aimed at Rodgersā character and professionalism following his departure.Three Tims, plenty of opinions, and a lot to discuss. Itās another big Celtic conversation on 4 Tims and a Podcast.

From the performance on the pitch to the tactics, mentality and decision-making, the lads dissect another night where Celtic simply weren't good enough when it mattered.We also ask the big question: is time now up for Martin O'Neill and his coaching team? Is there still a way back, or are Celtic staring at the need for a major change in direction?And if things weren't bad enough, attention now turns to Sunday's derby against Rangers. Three defeats in the space of a week is suddenly a very real possibility ā so how on earth do Celtic respond?Can the Bhoys pick themselves up, produce a reaction and turn the mood around at Celtic Park? Or could Sunday lunchtime bring another painful chapter?Tony and Andy look ahead to the showdown, discuss what Celtic need to change, and, of course, give their predictions for Sunday's derby.šļø Another European disaster. Another huge debate. One massive derby on the horizon.This is 4 Tims and a Podcast.
Celts Crash Out of League Cup at Ibrox with Pathetic Performance
56:39|Itās another miserable afternoon at Ibrox for Celtic as the Hoops crash out of the League Cup in humiliating fashion, going down 3-0 to Derek McInnesā Rangers side in a performance that leaves far more questions than answers.Darren, Tony, Danny and Andy get stuck into the shambles from start to finish ā from the baffling team selection to another big-game capitulation. Why was Sebastian Tounekti handed a starting place despite a string of uninspiring performances this season, while big-money signing Haissem Hassam was left on the bench amid reports he had barely slept?And in a performance where almost nobody covered themselves in glory, was young right-back Colby Donovan the only Celtic player who could walk off that pitch with anything approaching pass marks?But the biggest question is the one Celtic fans are asking: who is actually to blame?Is it manager Martin OāNeill? Is the coaching setup failing the team? Are the players simply not good enough when the pressure is on ā with captain Callum McGregor once again struggling to make an impact in a major game? Or does the ultimate responsibility sit with the Celtic Board

Celts Grind Out Win In Paisley Before Trip To Perth
21:14|4 Tims and a Podcast | Comeback Kings in Paisley! šDarren and Tony are back to dissect a dramatic evening in Paisley as Martin OāNeillās Celtic side came from behind to beat St Mirren 2-1 and stretch their lead at the top of the table!We start with the nightmare moment that put the Celts on the back foot ā Liam Scalesā inexcusable handball gifting St Mirren a penalty, which the hosts duly converted. But was that the only controversial decision of the evening? We also examine the VAR call that ruled out a Camilo Duran equaliser and ask whether Celtic were on the wrong end of another questionable decision.Then came the second-half turnaround. Scales redeemed himself in style, rising highest to power home a header from a corner and restore parity. And with Celtic pushing for the winner, star man Camilo Duran produced another moment of quality, slipping a superb pass through to the impressive Yang, who coolly finished to complete the comeback!But with Yang now heading off on international duty with South Korea for the next month, just how big a miss will the Korean star be? Who steps up in his absence ā and who has what it takes to fill his boots?Finally, we look ahead to the midweek trip to Perth to face newly promoted St Johnstone. Can the Celts maintain their 100% league record, make it another three points and keep the rest of the pack chasing their tails?šļø On this episode:St Mirren 1-2 Celtic ā breaking down the comebackLiam Scalesā costly handball and penaltyThe controversial VAR decision to rule out Duranās equaliserScalesā redemption with a crucial headerCamilo Duranās brilliance and Yangās winning finishHow big a miss will Yang be for Celtic?Who can replace the Korean star?Previewing Celticās trip to St JohnstoneCan the Celts maintain their 100% league record?Another comeback.
