Welcome back to our Midweek podcast where we look back as Celtic and Manchester City played out an entertaining draw last night at Celtic Park in the Group C Champions League game.

It was Celtic who took the lead within the first three minutes, when Moussa Dembele tapped home a header, only for Fernandinho to equalise within 8 minutes for the visitors.The hosts went ahead two more times, courtesy of an unfortunate own goal from Raheem Sterling in the 20th minute and an impressive strike by the young Moussa Dembele in the 47th minute.

However, City were relentless in attack and found the equaliser within 9 minutes of Celtic going ahead via a Raheem Sterling goal in the 28th minute and a Nolito strike in the 55th minute.

It looked like City would add to their goal tally only for Celtic to put in a brave performance towards the end of the game to ensure that points were split between the two teams.Manchester City has been in imperious form since the start of the season, asserting their dominance on games with their superstar players working in tandem, and they were expected to add to their 10 match winning streak at Celtic.

However, what followed was an exhilarating 90 minutes which left Pep Guardiola’s side hurting at the end of it.

Although Guardiola’s men came back to find an equaliser on three occasions in the game, the draw against the Scottish opponents serves as a reminder that even the best of the teams can find it tough on the road in Europe.

The noisy Celtic Park was rather underestimated in its grandeur as well as its ferocity and served as a 12th man for the home team, egging them on to secure a decisive result in the recent history of the club.

Celtic were written off as no-hopers and a squad that cost £20million to assemble versus a pool of players that were brought together at an jaw-dropping £420m.

A squad that just two weeks before had been annihilated 7-0 by Barcelona.But that was in Spain. This was in Glasgow. And the critics were left to choke on their words as Celtic played with an intensity and fire that could have burned your retinas.

The 3-3 draw with Manchester City, coupled with Barcelona’s win at Borussia Moenchengladbach has hauled Scotland’s champions right back into the Group C reckoning, or at least a chance of a place in the Europa League.

We all so hear from brendan rodgers post match interview where he talks to Bt Sports about the game .


We look back as Chris Sutton and Derek Johnstone were involved in an epic spat live on radio on Friday evening, with the former Celtic striker really going for the jugular.

Sutton was speaking live on Clyde 1’s Super Scoreboard programme, primarily to promote an event he’ll be attending in Glasgow next week, when he decided to take issue with Johnstone, calling him a “Rangers puppet”.

In recent weeks, Sutton has said he thinks the Rangers job is too big for manager Mark Warburton, something Johnstone told him was “utter nonsense”.

But that didn’t stop Sutton from putting his point across as you can hear in the clip above, going on to label Johnstone a “spineless man”, “a charlatan”, and a “party political broadcaster”.

It was clear to anyone listening that Johnstone was absolutely furious, and he replied by saying: “I’m absolutely disgusted with myself that I’m even talking to you tonight.”

Last Weekend Celtic beat Kilmarnock 6-1 . Celtic smashed Kilmarnock for six - despite going behind to a shock opener after Souleyman Coulibaly’s 40-yard stunner caught out Dorus de Vries.

Moussa Dembele lashed a quick-fire double, James Forrest, Tom Rogic and Leigh Griffiths netted while Scott Sinclair - who has now scored in his first six league games for the Hoops - is closing in on Jimmy McGrory’s 80-year record of scoring in his first eight league games in a row.

But Brendan Rodgers’s men had to recover from an early setback when Coulibaly lashed the ball over de Vries to give the Rugby Park men a shock lead.

Our Featured game this week is from 2012 where we look back as celtic beat Barcelona 2-1 at Parkhead .

It was a momentous victory for manager Neil Lennon, who was part of the team that knocked Barca out of the Uefa Cup in 2004, and his men - banishing memories of the injury-time defeat in Barcelona two weeks before.
