The Huddle Breakdown is a podcast focusing on all things Celtic FC. This is not your regular fan-run podcast though, we combine analysis with statistics to provide a proper deep-dive into the performances of the team. If stats and xG aren't your thing, don't let that scare you off. This podcast is a mix of opinion, craic and some questionable takeaways as well.

Q: What are your thoughts on the overall performance and the match against Partick Thistle?
Overall, it was a comfortable win, but there are still things to learn from the new players' performances.
Celtic vs Kilmarnock | Rodgers’ Blast, Fan Protests & Boardroom Chaos
Q: What is your assessment of the penalty awarded late in the match?
I was astonished it was given and think that Kilmarnock were very unlucky, as they were victims of bad timing and the way VAR has been interpreted in recent discussions.
Celtic vs Kilmarnock | Rodgers’ Blast, Fan Protests & Boardroom Chaos
Q: What were your thoughts on the protest and how it unfolded?
I think it was a well-intentioned and reasonably well-executed protest of its type. It keeps supporters focused on the issues and it keeps the media focused on the issues as well.
