What happened in Celtic's 4-1 defeat to Stuttgart?
The flame-grilled Whopper from Burger King. The most food-filling burger... Is it, though? Is that... Yes. A slightly better version of you. I don't understand. Just like the new Whopper, that's juicier and tastier than ever before. Same, same, but it's different. That's my line now. Oh, sorry. Whopper never tasted so good. Order now on the Burger King app.

How did the first-minute tennis-ball protest affect Celtic's performance?
Yep, and talking tonight with Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant, this is Paul Cooney welcoming you to the show. Well, Celtic slumped to a 4-1 defeat to Stuttgart in Glasgow last night. Some of the fans lambasted their goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel. Martin O'Neill lambasted some of the fans who were protesting with pointless tennis ball first-minute stoppage. Well... Peter, you were there last night. It was his 1,000th game in charge. You could see, though, the disunity is affecting the team because of, what, 20 seconds into the game and it stopped for three minutes. It's a terrible look. What did you make of it overall when you left last night and you thought, what happened tonight?
No, well, Paul, obviously the frustration is and it happens in the first minute because the build-up to the game was great. There was a great atmosphere around about it. And you're looking for the game to start. Like anybody, Barry will tell you, players here just want the game to start. And then once the game starts, then it gets stopped again.
What tactical changes did Danny Röhl implement for Stuttgart?
I told you at Dundee, it's not what Celtic do. They've never done that. They've had their protests before. I've been in there as well at times when it's happened. But that's the one thing. They left it to what they were singing or whatever. But to break the game up on a big European night... It doesn't look good for Celtic. Obviously, they're revered around the world for their support. They've got to be very, very careful the way things are going now because you don't want it to be turning and people think complete opposite of what they are. I was really disappointed to see last night, I must admit. Probably that summed up the performance, really.
And what about the booing of Kasper Schmeichel? Look, we know it was a horror night for him, really, at least to the goals. What did you feel about to see him being booed by some of the Celtic fans?
What are the implications of VAR controversies on the title race?
It's never nice, Paul. I've been there myself and it doesn't matter. You say it doesn't affect you. Of course it does. You know, there is no doubt of that. It doesn't help. You know you're having a bit of a stinker. And to be fair, I thought he did last night. And his experience as well. And not just on that, you know, there was things, decisions he made for his experience. You see Stuttgart pushing four up and we're still trying to play out. Then he's going long. As a midfield player, it must be a nightmare because then the ball drops down and there's nobody in that area. And people are saying, oh, the midfield is not getting tight or... there's no support up there.
How is Hearts managing pressure as league leaders?
He can't, because if you don't know what the goalkeeper's doing, and he kicks the ball when you're not expecting him to kick it, all these wee things. Listen, he's been in the game a long time now. His character, he's had some unbelievable saves, and I'll go back to even the Livingston game, Paul. Celtic were on 1-1-0, and he had the best save of the first half. He had a wonderful save. And he's produced things like that. But the thing is with him, he's got to make sure he uses his experience in the right way, and I thought he didn't do that in the game last night. and obviously I 100% agree with it it's not easy it must be terrible for a goalkeeper it's bad enough being an outfield player but being a goalkeeper getting the criticism like that doesn't make it any better Barry you watched the game I take it what did you make of the match in general?
If I'm being honest, I just thought Stuttgart were a level above, if I'm being honest with you.
