The Celtic Underground

55 years ago, a Celtic legend’s life came to an end.
Charlie Tully was an iconic Celt in the 1950s, famed for his skill and the excitement he brought to those who followed the hoops.
This latest podcast tells the story of Celtic’s ‘cheeky chappy’.
Every week, you can listen for free to more tales from Celtic’s past, as told by Matthew Marr (Hail Hail History).
You can also take part in free walking tours which visit the sites that have shaped the Bhoys’ history. To find out more, visit: www.celticwalkingtours.wordpress.com

It’s part 2 of the CU Top Ten for season 2025/26 and we’re into the final fab four. With the season we’ve just had, arriving at the Top Ten and even the top 4 was hard for many - there was no standouts. The most common comment was ‘best of a bad bunch’ but we (well you) got there.
If you’re a subscriber you may well be reading and listening straight after the release of Part 1 but whatever, if you’ve been on holiday or just stumbled across Part 2, make sure you go back and listen to part 1 first.

Two years ago members of the CU Community got access to the interview with Geir Jordet who wrote the book about how to win a penalty shootout. Since then, Celtic have been in a couple of penalty shootouts, we’ve had in game penalties and of course we’ve got penalties going on during the world cup.
In view of all of that we thought we’d re-visit the podcast and, looking at the World Cup ones and thinking about all our penalties, you can see where we have adopted his strategies and who at the World Cup has adopted them.
If you want to know more, you can read his book:

So here we have the CU Top Ten for season 2025/26.
The announcement is in two podcasts, this week and next, with this edition containing the details of those in places 10 -5 inc. A week today we’ll have the final fab four along with a discussion about those who missed out except…
