We take a deep dive into the relationship between cryptocurrency, NFTs and football. We have an early Ange retrospective on the eve of a defining month for Celtic’s season and we end by looking at the relationship between supporters and players, and how it’s recently been wrapped up in the concept of Nostalgia-ball from certain football pundits.
