As a follow-up to Tuesday's episode, we recorded a pod as we had a representative at Wednesday night's meeting, our man in the east, corporate schill, and all round good guy, Paul.He gives a brief summary of what happened, and it wouldn't be an RGC pod if we didn't flex our "cynical aul' gits" muscles, so we do voice a few concerns. That said, all of the concerns are ones that we feel can be easily addressed and overcome.As the pod title suggests, we are cautiously optimistic that we are on the right road.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

Just when we thought we were out...
They drag us back in.Welcome to The Godfather 3 podcast. The plan to take advantage of the International break went up in flames thanks to an "accidental" leak of a conversation about the manager, followed up by a simply incredible statement, released at ten to nine on Saturday night. A statement sponsored by Chateauneuf-De-Pape and Chat GPT by the sound, length and accuracy of it.Chris Paul and Jim discuss both events and we also got some input from Kieron O'Connor, the man behind the excellent football finance site @swissramble on social media.Unsurprisingly, his expert view on the statement is exactly the same as the "amateur" view of almost every Celtic fan who read it.There's plenty of moaning, some discussion around what next for the fans in terms of attempting to effect change. There's a consultation document here that we'd encourage fans to engage withhttps://forms.gle/F2hwGqkiiQCeTbDc7We then finish with our suggestion of how a new board set up should look.We won't lie, it may sound a bit dry, but if you want change, you should have some idea what you want that change to look like.Thanks as always for the supportThanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

If you thought Sunday was bad...
I don't think any of us were quite prepared for the clusterf*ck of the closure of the transfer window.We start by discussing Sunday to set the (bad) mood for the rest of the pod. Concerns are raised about both the manager and the captain, and our apparent inability to get up for big games. That's the last five where we've not shown up.Surely the last day of the transfer window would cheer us up? Well, it didn't and don't call me Shirley. As you can imagine, the board and the major shareholder take a bit of a kicking and we resign ourselves to the fact that those actually responsible will suffer no consequences for the transfer window shambles.We do discuss what options are open to fans who want to register their disgust and it boils down to "Do whatever feels right for you"Chris manages to eke out a very worthy RGC from an unlikely source. Sadly, we stopped recording before we got a chance to mention Mick Rice, a good Tim from Belfast, a barman in one of London's hidden gems, who was laid to rest today.Go easy MickThanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

Always look on the bright side of life...? Erm... Naw
As promised, here is the European "Special" if it can be called that.We decided to get someone on the pod who might genuinely have an idea what he is talking about when it comes to squad dynamics, player performances and what effect uncertainty can have on a club.We therefore got ex-pro, ex-asst manager and all-round good guy, Davie Farrell to talk about the events of the last week.It's not cheery listening in some ways, but Davie is always worth listening to and he does end on an upbeat note so there is that...Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

With apologies to Burns, we are "Nursing our wrath to keep it warm"
That's Rabbie, not Tommy, of course...An executive decision was made last week that this episode would only focus on Saturday's game and events domestically. There will be another pod later in the week dealing with all things European.With Chris on holiday, it's a two-hander, so as we're only discussing the Livvy game, the mood in the camp is pretty cheery, helped by a good second half performance and "events" in Edinburgh and Paisley.There is frustration that we can't claim credit for christening a certain manager "Terry Vegetables", but that's the only negative in this recording. We're hoping that later in the week, the next pod will be equally upbeat.The RGC award goes to two people this week, and you'll fully understand why when you hear the reason.As always, we thank you for your support and kind words, all 1692 of you.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

Celtic fans of a certain age discuss all things Celtic, where the only xG that is discussed is expected Guinness.Trying to capture the vibe of the post-match discussion among mates over a pint. Suitable for Tims of a certain vintage.
