Gordon Parks and Tam McManus can't see Martin O'Neill surviving the civil war at Celtic all the way through the season. Rangers can increase the pressure by going top of the table. Will Hearts' busy schedule take its toll? Peter Martin rules out any reconciliation between Roy Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson.
"It's an own goal, again, from a board that don't seem to care." Peter Martin, Tam McManus and Gordon Parks on Celtic's civil war after the Green Brigade boycott, Martin O'Neill's next four games (Motherwell, Benfica, Hearts, Celta Vigo) and Rangers' chance to go top of the Scottish Premiership against Kilmarnock. Live from the Hummel Studios, Friday 9 October 2026.
Can Martin O'Neill survive at Celtic?
The Green Brigade are staying away from away, cup and Europa League games. "Does he get through those four games?" Tam McManus: "I don't think Martin will get through the season." Plus Ross Desmond ("public enemy number two"), Shaun Maloney and Callum McGregor's "random tactics".
Can Rangers go top of the league?
Beat Kilmarnock at Ibrox and Rangers lead before Motherwell v Celtic (Sunday, 12 noon). Derek McInnes is manager of the month after six straight wins, two against Celtic, and Makhanya is player of the month.
