We dissect the calamitous start, look at the standout poor performances, and ask just how many of the same mistakes Celtic can continue to make on the European stage.Are Celtic’s hopes of progressing in the competition already hanging by a thread?

More importantly, what does it say about the Celtic board if there appears to be so little ambition when it comes to competing in Europe? If the club isn’t serious about making progress on the continental stage, why should the fans continue to pay big bucks to follow Celtic around Europe and watch performances like this?There’s plenty of frustration, plenty of debate, and some serious questions that need answering.We then turn our attention to a massive Sunday showdown at Celtic Park, as reigning champions Celtic welcome last season’s runners-up Hearts in a crucial Premiership clash.

Hello and welcome back to 4 Tims and a Podcast, this episode sees us discuss the protest against principal shareholder Dermot Desmond at a golf event and the statement from Celtic that followed.

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.

Tony and Andy are back with a full match reaction after another miserable European performance sees Celtic beaten 3-1 at home by Ferencváros.Where did it all go wrong? 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 — 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.🎙️ Another European disaster. Another huge debate. One massive derby on the horizon.This is 4 Tims and a Podcast.

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
