Bring on the trumpets!
True Celtic supporters. They don’t see the world through green coloured glasses, but as it truly is.
‘Enjoyed’ it, as I’m still suffering from ‘long Cluj rage’ can’t shake it! 😎

Needs more Tam Rogic chat. But otherwise superb. Heroes in a half space.

A sharp, fan-forward Celtic FC show that blends blunt analysis with banter across a running panel of regulars. Episodes cover match performances, tactical considerations, transfer talk, governance, and fan activism, often pushing back on ownership and boardroom decisions. A recurring strength is the candid, in-the-moment voice from long-time supporters joined by newer media contributors, yielding lively debates, insider-style stats, and practical takes for supporters navigating a volatile season. Noteworthy is the show's willingness to critique ownership and strategy while keeping discussions accessible and entertaining for a broad Celtic community, including live-event and ticketing anecdotes that fans find relatable.
