Frank and Simon return with a big Frankly Speaking as Celtic make what Frank believes could be a season defining signing.

Frank is adamant that Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is already the best midfielder in Scotland, calling the move a stroke of genius and explaining why he thinks the former England international will raise standards across the squad.

But it is not all optimism. The conversation quickly turns to the bigger picture at Celtic, with Frank warning that unless the club rebuild trust with supporters, the league title could slip away. He argues that performances alone will not fix the disconnect and that leadership off the pitch is just as important as what happens on it.

Strong opinions, bold claims and no sitting on the fence. This is Frankly Speaking in full flow.

Leigh Griffiths joins Frank and Simon for a wide ranging and honest football conversation.

One of the most natural goalscorers of his generation, Leigh looks back on his trophy laden spell at Celtic, where he broke scoring milestones, hit 40 goals in a single season, and became the fastest striker since Charlie Nicholas to reach 50 for the club.

He reflects on the managers who shaped his career, explains why his time at Hibs still means so much to him, and relives that unforgettable night at Hampden when he scored two sensational late free kicks against England.

Now based in Australia, Leigh opens up about stepping away from the noise of the Scottish game, embracing a quieter life, and rediscovering his love for football through playing and coaching.

A candid and thoughtful look back at a career packed with goals, big moments and new beginnings.
