The impossible dream?

The impossible dream?

Author: Harry Brady May 15, 2026 Duration: 55:29
Celtic had a woeful summer transfer window. In October we wrote a piece setting out why we were playing so poorly - in the summer and previous Jan window we’d sold players who, in the 12 months prior, had scored 86 goals and had 41 assists and replaced that with 28 goals (16 Nygren). That paucity of attacking options has been evident all season. Chuck in the injuries to CCV, AJ and Jota and the club was in a poor place. It was the principle reason behind the fan unrest.After Brendan left, we looked at Rangers and said “hold my beer” and brought in Nancy.The effect of all of this is that we have lost 8 league games. Martin O’Neil has had to overcome an 8 point then 6 point deficit - yet here we are. Win and the title’s ours.It’s been the most unexpected title decider and it’s previewed tonight.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube

For over a decade, The Celtic Underground has been a constant voice for supporters, carving out a unique space where passion meets perspective. Hosted by Harry Brady, this isn't just another sports show; it's a conversation from the heart of the stands, dedicated entirely to the triumphs, trials, and enduring culture of Celtic FC. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a pub among friends who know the history as well as they feel the current emotions. You'll hear in-depth discussions on matches, of course, but also the wider stories that define what it means to follow this club-the heritage, the politics of the game, and the voices of fellow fans. This podcast thrives on that authentic, long-running fan dialogue, avoiding slick presentation for genuine, sometimes heated, debate. Tune in for analysis that comes from a place of lifelong commitment, where every title race, transfer rumor, and European night is filtered through the lens of those who live and breathe it. The Celtic Underground remains, quite simply, by the fans and for the fans.
