RGC - A Celtic Podcast

It's the usual lineup for this episode, and it's a busy one.
Chris returns refreshed and invigorated from his holidays; Paul pitches up an utter shambles after a weekend on the gargle.
We cover why we will never be the number 1 Celtic podcast, look back at the Aberdeen and St Mirren games, with Chris doing most of the heavy lifting on the "reasons".
There are two games this week: Chris and Paul will be in Perth for the St Johnstone game and then there's the game against "thaym" on Sunday that we discuss. Obviously, we reflect on the news that augurs well for Greggs Q4 results.
We have our last chat about the transfer window until December at least to round off the football chat.
We then reflect on the dangers of granting people access to your Ticketmaster account, and the RGC is a football "influencer" who gets a shoeing on TikTok

A new voice on the pod this week. Chris in Belfast, Davie living his best life and Paddy Hoey laid low with the flu meant we asked Britain's number 32 tennis player, Keith Murray, to join us tonight.
We discussed Saturday's game, what appears to be shaping up to be another transfer-window shitshow, and briefly previewed the next two games.
The conversation then turned to the next generation of Celtic fans and Keith shared his experience and frustration as a father of two young boys whose chances of getting "the bug" are severely restricted.
I think a lot of fans will sympathise, and we pose the question is anyone at board level aware of the issue?
There's a unanimous RGC of the week, and I am sure it won't surprise any of you

After the LASK shambles, your host and Paul are in their usual seats to discuss the game.
Chris decided to lock himself in a bothy in the Hebrides, so we had to bring in The Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to cast his trained eye over the shi*show that was the defeat in Austria.
Worryingly, the trained eye reveals that it was even worse than you thought, so as you can imagine, this is not an upbeat episode, and there is very little in the way of positivity. 
We are currently in negotiations to make this episode available as a potential penance for Saturday confessions at West of Scotland chapels.
Despite the downbeat tone, we reckon it's still a good listen, and there's a unanimous RGC this week
Onward and upwards

There was an issue with the initial upload hopefully Take 2 will take care of that issue

It started with a message in the WhatsApp group: "There's been a purchase from JD Sports, but who for Kammy?"  It ended with some spectacular grassing and an unconvincing attempt at an explanation, and that's before we got onto the events of the last week.
There's a review of the game at the weekend, a look forward to the CL qualifiers, plus a discussion on transfer business.
There is some positivity in that we're somewhat prepared but we should be in a better position. That said, we are confident we will get past LASK. 
We got a bit of a scouting report on Hassan from Sid Lowe that we can't broadcast, but it's generally positive.
The RGC is an old "friend" who narrowly edges out another outstanding candidate.

As always, thanks for your support

As you can imagine, there is something of a change in mood compared to last week's pod. It's a broadly upbeat recording with a soupcon of giddiness. Oddly enough, a convincing 90-minute performance, giving Neil McCann a bad day at the office, plus the potential emergence of a new hero will do that to men of a certain age. 
Obviously, events in Govan on Sunday are discussed and enjoyed, and we take some pleasure from the undoubted discomfort that Derek McKlopp felt at full time.
Of course, it wouldn't be an RGC pod if there wasn't a degree of moaning, and that is largely centred around potential transfer activity both inwards and outwards. There's some concern about who might go and concern about what is likely to come in.
Still, it was a great weekend, so let's enjoy it.
As far as the RGC goes, it's an AGM that provides a worthy recipient of the RGC of The Week  Award sponsored by High Performance
