Celtic's Tactical Crisis: Hibs Defeat, Pressing Data Exposed, Final Third Effectiveness + Derby Fear

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown, Laura, James, and Alan sift through the wreckage of a brutal week that saw Celtic humbled by Stuttgart and beaten by Hibs. Alan uses damning pressing data to ask if this Celtic team is simply "poorly coached", lacking basic attacking patterns and structural discipline. James points to a severe lack of athleticism in the squad, leaving the defense incredibly vulnerable when the midfield gets bypassed. Plus, Alan unveils a macro-level "Final Third Effectiveness" chart that exposes a shocking six-year decline in Celtic's squad quality. With Auston Trusty's red card appeal rejected ahead of the Rangers derby, we ask: is this title race just a "hot potato" of randomness?
