The Trinity Tims Podcast

"Amidst our current turmoil and trouble, a single flower blooms amidst the rubble; the resignation of Peter Lawwell. Others will pay him tribute. We're not going to..."

"Celtic is in crisis. Let's not sugarcoat it or pretend things are other than they are. This club is in a profoundly bad place ... and the question that should dominate all of our minds is this; is the worst over, or is that still in front of us? The signs are ... well, they are not good."

"Celtic are not only back in the title race but we're in charge of it. The next round of European Football is in front of us too now. And with a new manager on the way the football department has big things to look forward to."

"Celtic's AGM continues to dominate the discourse, and last night the Celtic Collective met to talk it out. Meanwhile, Hearts dropping points means that we're very much back in the title race ... and with a new boss about to come in. Exciting times at Celtic ... though not always in the way we would want."

"So, it all descended into farce at today's annual Celtic AGM. As usual the board failed to read the room, but when the room 'read' them the riot act, Pete pulled the plug and as all cowards do, they ran!"

"Celtic have this evening announced that they're continuing with Martin O'Neill as interim manager, which begs the question, have the negotiations with Wilfried Nancy broken down? We discuss this and other pressing issues on tonight's TT podcast."

"Two weeks ago we left Tynecastle eight points behind and certain people were wetting their pants about our season collapsing. A fortnight later, Hearts lead is seven points but Celtic have a game in hand. Are we hitting league form at just the right time? And are the early leaders starting to tire already?"

"Celtic are back! It's not just two good results in a week it is the sudden shift in mood around the whole club. Those who thought we'd simply fade out this season better think again. We're just starting."

"For all his sins, Rodgers tiptoed through the minefield the best he could. It should surprise no-one that when the detonation came it was courtesy of someone who wasn't concerned about the collateral damage."

"Celtic Land is in darkness. Will the next game bring the light back around, or are we going to need radical changes to get radical effects?"

Celtic has been skirting the edge of it all the way through 2025; now the crisis is here. Celtic has lurched and reeled from one setback to another since that night in Munich. Now all involved must consider their roles in where we've ended up.

International hell is almost over. The Collective continues to make progress and forge ahead with its plans. Celtic is due to play at the weekend on the back of our Motherwell triumph. And at Ibrox Steven Gerrard does walking away.

Celtic drew a blank for the second time this season against Hibernian, which begs the question, why is Brendan Rodgers so tactically inflexible? Meanwhile, the Celtic Fans Collective campaign gathers momentum. We discuss these points and plenty of others on this evening's TT podcast.

The Celtic fan protests are ramping up and now it's been given a name. It's obvious this is just the start. On a football front we're back scoring goals and maybe just maybe getting back to our best.

"Oh for binary choices; run or fight; rise or fall; speak up or stay silent' protest ... or accept. Rodgers has told the players to come together or crumble apart. And at Ibrox Russell Martin told his players to sink or swim."

"400 fan organisations have signed an open letter dismissing the current strategy. Now the No Confidence motions are coming in. The board has lost its mandate. That removes their legitimacy."

"The window slams down hard on the Celtic board. There are no more alibis left. There are no more excuses (not from most people anyway.) Now we move onto the reckoning."

"Celtic's transfer window has been a farce, leaving us in a mad last ditch scramble to get deals over the line, and of course clubs are bumping up the prices on us because they know we are desperate. Heads should roll for this mess."

“Celtic’s draw at home against Kairat has finally opened the floodgates. The water is trickling in right now but the swelling tide will sweep away our outdated plans. In the meantime, the boss continues to show his professionalism as Celtic go six clear of our rivals. And the Ibrox club itself? Well we’re on season 15 of the Banter Years and there is no end in sight ...”

"On Wednesday we're headed for our Champions League qualifier and this squad is weaker than the one we had at the turn of the year. That's shameful for a club like Celtic, but the manager and this team can still work miracles, and it's over to them."

"The last great hope of the pro-board faction ends in midweek as the clock runs down on our Champions League signing deadline. Short of a wildcard signing who will almost certainly not play, we're going into this undermanned. Who'd have thought that was likely? Well, we did ..."

“The season is underway! And Celtic has put the first three points on the board, albeit not very convincingly. The transfer window blues continue to haunt us with our own directors hamstringing the club and the manager. He’s increasingly fed up with it ... and we know what that means for the future.”

"The Celtic board either doesn't see that we're walking into potential danger or they just don't care. The same applies to some sections of the fan-base and they all - fans and board - have to snap out of this pronto. Rodgers knows. Which is why some are still trying to undermine him."

Off the field the club tries the patience of the fans. On it, the manager continues working his magic. This is a club of contradictions. We love it anyway.

"Celtic fans continue to have to be the most patient fans in Europe when it comes to signings. And the manager signing a new contract. And for some sign that their club cares about them after all. As we wait, we're all just putting a brave face on it. Except ... no. Not us three."
