Francesco Piacentini-Smith is one of Scotland's finest young actors - and showing that right now in cinemas in I Swear. A joy to have him on CU 'in conversation' podcast. My nephew, but more importantly, wonderful articulating how Celtic really gets you.

Tommy Johnson is the latest terrific guest for our Celtic Underground 'in conversation' series. Rough was rough for him, but the smooth was unforgettable. Won every honour; scored cup final and title sealing goals. Doesn't miss John Barnes. Great chat.

The Celtic board's shenanigans in this transfer window are inexcusable. But they don't explain away that diabolical display against FC Kairat. A club that have parted with, eh, all of £280,000 in transfer fees for signings over the past two years...

It was important to honour Pat Woods in the week that marked the passing of the doyen among Celtic chroniclers. Few are better placed than the brilliant Matt Corr, Celtic author and club tour guide, to do that. Hope we did justice to Pat, God rest him.

Pat Woods was just the most generous, learned, humble and special man. He elevated Celtic's literary tradition to place it at the zenith among football clubs. He wrote about Celtic's history and became a truly honourable part of it - though typically blanched at being told so. God rest his soul.

We are back with a bang. Fascinating stuff from Kris about the psychology of penalty taking, and thanks to him for being such a great guest.
Our Sunday "In Conversation..." podcasts are back and this week is a cracker - Kris Commons.

People in Scotland want our political leaders to invest in fast and fair climate action. A Private Jet Tax would help
hold the biggest polluters accountable and raise vital funds to protect us all from the damage they’re causing.
