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.

Hi HB team. Don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes but you need to get more reliable content out. We love your work but you’re losing audience by being so unreliable. Hopefully you can get it sorted.
