The Celtic Underground – Details, episodes & analysis

Nothing happened at Ibrox. It was a nothing game. Nothing happened in the window. We signed one player of Celtic quality. And yet out of this nothingness the bhoys manage to create a 1-hour podcast.

Numbed by inaction, the bhoys sound more resigned than angry. Ross sets out why he believes the Head of Football Operations should take responsibility and Harry points the finger at the largest shareholder behaving like the owner and making executive decisions.

Tuesday 2nd September is the meeting of the Celtic Trust - Grace’s Candleriggs, 7pm.

It’s been some week and some start to the league and European campaigns for both teams. One club is a walking disaster. They cannot get anything right and they have a baying group of fans calling for the head of everyone and the other…nope. I’m not going to do that joke!

Celtic visit Ibrox on Sunday. We have won every domestic game played and perform…

And we’re off…. It’ season 2025/26. We’ve had the pre-season podcast and discussed whether we FINALLY managed to win the pre-season cup and now the phoney war is over the season’s beginning.

Many of the team are just returning from holiday and we’ll have some bumper pods coming up to celebrate the 20th season of the world’s longest running football fan …

Judas Part 2

Another tale from the Celtic Wiki

Last time we told the tale of the striker’s arrival at Celtic and his performances that contributed to the dramatic last day title win over Hearts.  Today we hear about the story that led so many Celts to simply call Maurice Johnstone Judas.

The Celts are off to Germany this week on Champions League duty.

The Bhoys will hope to build on their fantastic 5-1 start with another good performance.

It's far from Celtic's first visit to Germany. For that, you have to go back almost 120 years.

It's a tale of boats, trains, big wins and even the death of an iconic Celt.

Judas Part 1

Another tale from the Celtic Wiki

For Celts of a certain age, there is not a name that illicits greater emotion than Mo Johnston.  Signed in a record deal in October 1984 he was part of a Celtic forward line that should have achieved even more than it did and during that spell.  He completed perhaps the greatest team goal in Celtic’s history in the 5-0 title triumph at Love Street.

He left but was set to return in a dramatic move in 1989 as Celtic set to try and wrestle the initiative back from Rangers.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Celtic fans will still be dreaming of the 5 goals we scored last midweek against slovan Bratislava and looking forward to the rest of the European campaign with renewed ethusiasm and a sense of expectation of what could be.

Following that marvellous result, Matthew of HAILHAILHISTORY decided to look back on previous big Celtic European results.
