It was meant to be a new dawn. Instead, it was a Hampden horror show.

On this episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast, the lads react to a catastrophic League Cup Final defeat as Celtic fall 3–1 to St Mirren under new boss Wilfried Nancy. What should have been a chance for silverware and momentum instead capped off a disastrous first week in charge: three games, three defeats, eight goals conceded and alarm bells ringing everywhere.

We break down what went so badly wrong on the national stage, dissect a bewildering tactical setup, and ask the uncomfortable questions that Celtic fans are already shouting from the stands:

• Is Wilfried Nancy out of his depth already?
• Has this squad finally run out of road?
• Or does the real blame lie higher up, with a boardroom that’s once again left the manager exposed?

From individual errors to systemic failures, from recruitment rot to leadership voids, nothing is off the table as we try to make sense of a week that has plunged Celtic into full-blown crisis mode.

Hampden humiliation. An angry fanbase. A club at a crossroads.

In this week’s episode, the lads break down a bruising start to life at Celtic for new manager Wilfried Nancy, whose debut ended in a 2–1 defeat to league leaders Hearts at Celtic Park. The loss leaves Celtic three points off the top and raises early questions about what went wrong on the day and what Nancy has inherited behind the scenes.

We dive into whether Martin O’Neill’s interim run may have simply papered over deeper cracks within the squad and the club’s wider structure, and we analyse the performance, the tactics, and the reaction to Nancy’s opening match in the dugout.

Off the pitch, we discuss the reported ban on fan media from Celtic’s recent press events, as well as the surprisingly low-key unveiling of the new manager — what it says about the club’s current direction, and why supporters are growing increasingly frustrated.

Finally, we look ahead to a massive week for Celtic: a Europa League clash against Roma and the League Cup final at Hampden against St Mirren. It’s a defining stretch already for Nancy and a Celtic side searching for momentum.

Tune in for all that and more on 4 Tims and a Podcast.

It’s been a magnificent week for Celtic, and the Tims are back to break it all down. Three away days, three big wins — at St Mirren, Feyenoord and Hibs — and momentum is suddenly surging under interim boss Martin O’Neill. We dig into the transformation he’s brought to the squad, his perfect domestic record, and how he’s restored confidence and clarity on the pitch.

With this week’s home match against Dundee looking set to be O’Neill’s final game in charge before Wilfried Nancy is appointed permanent manager, we look at why the deal has taken so long to complete and what impact O’Neill’s impressive spell might have on Nancy’s arrival. Has the interim success raised expectations? Added pressure? Or laid the perfect foundations?

All that, plus our thoughts on the week ahead, what Celtic need next, and how the club balances short-term form with long-term vision.
