We never promised you a rose garden...

A year ago today, we released the first RGC pod, and we promised an upbeat pod, free of moaning and bed wetting. That's worked out well hasn't it?

This week's pod is a bit bloody miserable with a side of righteous anger. The combination of an uninspiring win on Saturday, which followed a shambles of an AGM and a collective meeting, means there isn't much positivity around.

Just a reminder that we are just three fans giving our opinions on Celtic, and we're not attempting to become influencers or try to monetise the pod, so it's possible you won't agree with our opinions, but be assured these opinions come from a good place.

Incidentally, the invite for Ross Desmond to come on and discuss his views on the support is a genuine one.

Thank you for all your support in the last year. We love doing it, and some of your feedback has humbled us.

So spread the word.

What are we worried about?

Quite a f*cking lot by the sounds of this episode.

Paul is off on his travels, so Davie Farrell joins us this week to discuss Sunday's game and the squad in general. It's fair to say this isn't a cheery, upbeat listen.

No one at the club, including the manager and the captain, escapes criticism. Thanks to Davie's insight, we are pretty confident that the criticism has some weight to it and isn't just "bin ra lorra 'em" (Although it does sound a bit like that)

In fairness, this is a pod to be endured rather than enjoyed, but it does at least attempt to identify where the issues are and provide some suggestions about what we should be doing next.

We finish with a bold prediction from Davie, and an optical and fried dough product expert gets this week's RGC Award

The title isn't a song by a Belle & Sebastian tribute band but a reference to the story behind this week's RGC.

As it's international week we took the opportunity to record a pre-AGM podcast and the message is that if you are a shareholder make sure your voice is heard either by going to AGM, Proxying your vote or getting your vote registered. It all helps to send a message to the board even if the block votes will ensure the status quo (for now)

It also appears that the new manager will be announced this week and we enter the "Wilfball" era and we'd love to say the pod contributors are excited about what lies ahead.

We think you know us well enough to know that's not how it pans out.

The pod finishes with the RGC being revealed as the bass player of a seminal 80s band (No, not that one)
