Man City, Rangers & the Story Scottish Media Won't Touch | Celtic's Identity Crisis, Carter-Vickers & Stephen Welsh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Premier League's Man City case dominates headlines worldwide, Alan and James ask why the Scottish football media has stayed almost completely silent, and what the parallels with Rangers' 2012 liquidation, the EBT scandal and the obstruction of investigators reveal about football governance, power and accountability. The Huddle Breakdown then turns to Celtic. Alan has rewatched the games from his time away and comes back with a stark verdict on Martin O'Neill's management team drifting fro
The Rangers 3, Celtic 0 - League Cup - 13th September 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The thought experiment of reverse data capturing a painful week for Celtic has been predictably tough.There are hints, however, as to how the management team arrived at such an incoherent set up in the most recent match.No one sets up to fail, of course, and none of this was intended to be incoherent.

Celtic's Systemic Collapse, a £4.8m Loss & the "Least Bad Option" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alan is back from Japan and straight into the wreckage of Celtic's three straight defeats, capped by a 1-0 derby loss to Rangers at Celtic Park. With James and Martin, he argues it was a systemic collapse, not a question of individual effort, and backs it with the numbers: Rangers won the ball back with 42% of their pressures, the highest figure in six-plus seasons of our data. We look at Martin O'Neill's tactics, why asking Celtic's centre-backs to hit 50-yard channel balls played straight into
