Winning Is the Only Tactic

Winning Is the Only Tactic

Author: Harry Brady February 19, 2026 Duration: 1:04:28
Harry and Andrew briefly revisit the dramatic victory over Kilmarnock before the focus quickly shifts to the looming European test against VfB Stuttgart. The bhoys discuss Celtic’s fluctuating performance levels, the psychology of late wins, and whether scraping through domestically builds resilience or masks deeper issues. They explore how trust within the squad, particularly in midfield, remains fundamental to controlling games and why conviction in possession will be critical against stronger opposition.Celtic’s character has been tested repeatedly in recent weeks; now the question is whether they can translate late drama into sustained authority. Winning remains the priority but doing so with consistency, clarity, and confidence will define the weeks ahead.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.
