The Cynic Weekly – The original 90 Minute Cynic Podcast.

After a chaotic stoppage-time winner against Kilmarnock on Sunday, Christopher Gallagher is joined by Barry Gallagher and Christopher Boud to break down a week that keeps the title charge alive, but still leaves questions hanging in the air.

The panel discuss:

● Julián Araujo’s instant impact and why making him permanent should be a priority
● Big Tam’s growing influence and whether his link-up play is the key to unlocking tight games
● Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s class off the bench and how quickly he should be starting
● Defensive frailties around Scales, Trusty and Schmeichel — wobble or warning sign?
● The Green Brigade situation and the atmosphere debate at Celtic Park
● Darren O’Dea’s explosive comments on John Kennedy and the internal shake-up
● A daunting run of fixtures including Stuttgart home and away, Rangers at Ibrox, and a trip to Pittodrie
● Listener questions and whether goal difference could be crucial

All that, plus a look ahead to a massive Europa League night as Celtic’s season teeters between glory and disaster.
