In this week’s Huddle Breakdown, James and Alan analyse Celtic’s dour 0–0 draw in the Glasgow Derby (recorded in the early evening of transfer deadline day).
One of the great pleasures of watching Celtic for me over the last few years has been watching CM pick the ball up and drive at defenders when things have been sticky. James is very accurate in the way that CalMac has been set up to fail in this system now. Down to Father Time , to a board that can not
wake up today and think they have any right to take a wage until January (and even then it would be robbery) and a manager who's intransigence is now bitting everyone in the ass. The club seems a shambles and no one in any management position looks good.
If Brendan Rogers stays then this is his opportunity to really show how good a manager he is. Now is the time for him to be resourceful, adaptable and to show inspirational leadership to a group of players (and fans) in need of galvanising. He is our highest paid employee - we absolutely need more from him. He has failed this test once already against Kairat - if he can't find it within himself to deliver the above then he must go.
Listening to this at 9.30pm last night did little to lift my mood as Celtic did little in the transfer market as predicted. Your credibility is intact and you can now assume guru status😉 We had a little to-and-fro a few weeks back on ‘the decline of empire’ with my view being they fall by overreach, something that was unlikely at an inherently conservative institution like Celtic unless those in charge were totally incompetent. I’d like to hold up my hands and admit I was wrong: they can also fall by arrogance and hubris, particularly when those in charge are proven to be totally incompetent.

Alan & James please can you contact me on christian.harding@ambiguous.world it's in regards celticshare.com cheers.
Everyone relax. The board came up with the goods so everything is fine 🤥
Less than an hour untill the window closes and as far as I can see, we ain't signed no one. I think your call was right, Alan.
Thank you for releasing this...I need some therapy after the last few games and this underwhelming (again) transfer window 😅👌
