Celts see off Aberdeen and Transfer Window Review
3-0, New Signings but was it a case of Panic Buying?
Darren and Tony are back to look back on a scintillating evening at Celtic Park as Celtic swept Aberdeen aside 3-0, putting the game to bed with a superb first-half performance.
The lads break down what went right for Celtic, the standout performances and whether this was a glimpse of the attacking football supporters have been waiting to see.
They also turn their attention to the transfer window, which has now slammed shut after Celtic brought in 10 new players — but with six arriving in the final 48 hours, the big question is whether the club has genuinely strengthened the squad or simply resorted to panic recruitment.
Were the first four signings the blueprint for smart, targeted recruitment, while the late additions were rushed decisions? Or have Celtic actually pulled off some clever business that could prove crucial as the season unfolds?
Darren and Tony give their verdict on every aspect of the window, debate the quality of the new arrivals and ask the big question: has Celtic strengthened, or have they left themselves with more questions than answers?
All that, plus plenty of opinion, debate and Celtic chat on the latest episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast.

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 O’Neill looks set to remain in the Celtic dugout despite a difficult month. Is sticking with O’Neill 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 – 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 there’s 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 he’ll be taking part in, what might be said, and whether we could be in for an awkward – or revealing – reunion given the criticism aimed at Rodgers’ character and professionalism following his departure.Three Tims, plenty of opinions, and a lot to discuss. It’s another big Celtic conversation on 4 Tims and a Podcast.

Celts Crash Out of League Cup at Ibrox with Pathetic Performance
56:39|It’s 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 McInnes’ 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 — 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 O’Neill? Is the coaching setup failing the team? Are the players simply not good enough when the pressure is on — 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
