The Football Show · 18 September 2026
The panel pick over another miserable European night for Celtic, a 1-3 home defeat to Ferencvaros, look ahead to the Old Firm at Celtic Park, react to David Gray's sacking at Hibs, and Owen Coyle lifts the lid on how you really build a squad. Peter Martin is joined by Hugh MacDonald, Gordon Parks and special guest Owen Coyle on The Football Show, as Scottish football keeps on giving.
Why are Celtic in crisis?
After being humiliated 1-3 by Ferencvaros in the Europa League and bullied by Rangers at Ibrox, the panel debate Celtic's summer recruitment, their lack of European credibility, the manager's "car-crash" TNT interview, and whether Martin O'Neill can turn it around before Sunday's derby.
What does Owen Coyle say about building a team?
Owen Coyle shares the reality of recruitment behind the scenes, from transfers that got away to why character matters as much as ability, describing a dressing room as "an extension of family" and explaining how one wrong signing can upset the whole dynamic.
Why has David Gray been sacked by Hibs?
The panel react to David Gray losing his job at Hibs after a poor run of home form, the mixed emotions among Hibs fans towards a club legend, and what a manager's shelf life really looks like in modern football, before running through the weekend games including Hibs v Aberdeen and Kilmarnock v Hearts.
