The Celtic Underground

Over the years, numerous non-football events have drawn people to Celtic’s home venue.

It’s the international break, so naturally there’s absolutely nothing to talk about….Apart from balaclavas, tennis balls on the Old Course, an extraordinary late-night statement from Dermot Desmond and the seemingly endless civil war between Celtic and sections of the support.
Harry and Andrew attempt the increasingly impossible task of seeing both sides of an argument, asking whether anyone involved actually wants a resolution or whether we’ve all become rather too comfortable shouting at each other.
Along the way, Andrew recalls being thrown out of a Celtic Christmas party, failing to interview Johan Cruyff and the joys of dealing with angry supporters, while Harry brings some inconvenient arithmetic to the campaign to remove Dermot Desmond.
There’s talk of ownership, strategy, the Celtic Trust, the coming AGM and the increasingly elusive pleasure of simply enjoying the football. Ninety minutes of trying to find a way out of the madness, only to conclude that everyone’s dug themselves into a hole and nobody’s brought a ladder.
Game, set and match? Not even close.

Some names in Celtic history stand out because more than one player has been called this.
In the case of John Divers, there’s been a ‘hat-trick’ of such men!
This latest podcast describes these three men’s experiences.

Andrew, Stephen and Anthony start with the important stuff - whether £200 for an Oasis ticket is an act of devotion or a cry for help, before somehow ending up asking what’s happened to football itself.
There’s international-break fatigue, Celtic injury chat, memories of great gigs, Manchester City and the financial black hole of the English game, and a surprisingly thoughtful wander through why Celtic still means something when so much modern football can feel increasingly soulless. As ever with a Chin Wag, the route from Liam Gallagher to Lisbon Lions is neither obvious nor especially direct, but they get there in the end.

Some people never pull on the famous Celtic shirt but still influence the club.
Robert Kelly is one such example, a man renowned for his iron grip on control of the club in the 1950s and 1960s.
