Celtic. Done Differently.

Lubo Moravcik was quite simply a genius of a footballer. Described by Zinedine Zidane as one of the greatest No.10's in the game we were fortunate enough to see him grace Celtic Park for a glorious three and a half year spell from October 1998 until April 2002. Signed by countryman Dr Josef Venglos the Slovak would arrive at Celtic as a relative unknown, before leaving as a modern day club legend. Special goals and moments of magic were the order of the day for Celtic's No.25 and we were delighted to welcome him to The Celtic Exchange. He spoke passionately of his time in the Hoops and described Celtic as the perfect club at the perfect time in his life. Famously, when told that Celtic supporters see him as a "Gift from God" he replied modestly that in fact Celtic, was God's gift to him. Humble, good humoured and an absolute hero, please enjoy this very special episode with Lubo Moravcik.

Martin O'Neill stepped outside the main doors at Celtic Park on 1st June 2000 and declared that he would do everything in his power to bring some success back to Celtic Football Club. What followed in the next five years would dramatically exceeded all hopes and expectations! Celtic went on to dominate domestically in Scotland, whilst also restoring credibility on the European stage. All thanks to Martin O'Neill, the man who paved the way for the modern day Celtic.

Peter Grant is one of the rare few amongst us who got to live the dream of playing professional football for his boyhood club. Listen to some incredible stories here of a life at Celtic!

GREIG ROBERTSON spent a fascinating 18 years at the Celtic Academy between 2003 - 2021, working in close quarters with a number of highly regarded club coaches such as Tommy Burns, Brendan Rodgers and John Kennedy. In nearly two decades within the Academy he played a part in the development of some of Celtic's best known graduates such as Kieran Tierney, James Forrest and current club captain Callum McGregor, and more recently has guided the progress of the latest batch of exciting talent to emerge from Lennoxtown, including Ben Doak, Dane Murray and of course Karamoko Dembele. You don't spend that amount of time with elite level players if you yourself aren't an elite level coach and during his time at Celtic Grieg gained his UEFA Pro Licence as well as a Masters in Performance Coaching. This is a must listen for fans of Celtic, and for sports fans in general.

Over the years the Celtic Academy has produced some genuinely high quality footballers, many who have played a huge part in the club's recent successes. But has that supply chain dried up lately? We're all familiar with the qualities of Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Kieren Tierney and even young Scotland star Ben Doak - but those aside, when did we last see a talented youngster emerge from Lennoxtown and truly establish themselves as a bonafide first team star? For fans who love nothing more than to see homegrown talent flourish at Celtic Park, its been way too long. Josh McCafferty has established himself in the Celtic Fan Media space in all things regarding the club's youth and loan players and joined us on this episode to discuss the latest raft of talent coming through Celtic's Academy.
