Another European Night To Forget For Celtic - Match Reaction - Celtic 1-3 Ferencvaros
Summary
This episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast features hosts Tony and Andy reacting to Celtic's 3-1 European defeat to Fenerbahce, which they describe as a humiliating "Groundhog Day" repeat of last season's failures. They criticize manager Ange Postecoglou for a lack of tactical clarity and the board for poor recruitment, arguing the squad is mentally and physically unfit for European competition. The hosts highlight individual errors from Liam Scales and Callum McGregor while praising James Forrest, and they predict a loss in the upcoming Old Firm derby against Rangers.
