🎙️ 4 Tims and a Podcast | Benfica 4-1 Celtic: Another European Collapse & Hearts PreviewDarren, Tony, Danny and Andy take to the mics in the immediate aftermath of Celtic’s disastrous 4-1 defeat to Benfica in Lisbon on Matchday 2 of the Europa League, as another painful night in Europe leaves more questions than answers for the Hoops.A first-half capitulation once again proved Celtic’s undoing, and the lads get stuck into everything that went wrong as the club’s alarming fall from grace in UEFA competition continues. We dissect the calamitous start, look at the standout poor performances, and ask just how many of the same mistakes Celtic can continue to make on the European stage.Are Celtic’s hopes of progressing in the competition already hanging by a thread? Is Martin O’Neill getting it wrong, and what can the manager do to turn things around? More importantly, what does it say about the Celtic board if there appears to be so little ambition when it comes to competing in Europe? If the club isn’t serious about making progress on the continental stage, why should the fans continue to pay big bucks to follow Celtic around Europe and watch performances like this?There’s plenty of frustration, plenty of debate, and some serious questions that need answering.We then turn our attention to a massive Sunday showdown at Celtic Park, as reigning champions Celtic welcome last season’s runners-up Hearts in a crucial Premiership clash.

It’s another miserable afternoon at Ibrox for Celtic as the Hoops crash out of the League Cup in humiliating fashion, going down 3-0 to Derek McInnes’ Rangers side in a performance that leaves far more questions than answers.Darren, Tony, Danny and Andy get stuck into the shambles from start to finish — from the baffling team selection to another big-game capitulation. Why was Sebastian Tounekti handed a starting place despite a string of uninspiring performances this season, while big-money signing Haissem Hassam was left on the bench amid reports he had barely slept?And in a performance where almost nobody covered themselves in glory, was young right-back Colby Donovan the only Celtic player who could walk off that pitch with anything approaching pass marks?But the biggest question is the one Celtic fans are asking: who is actually to blame?Is it manager Martin O’Neill? Is the coaching setup failing the team? Are the players simply not good enough when the pressure is on — with captain Callum McGregor once again struggling to make an impact in a major game? Or does the ultimate responsibility sit with the Celtic Board Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
