Russell Martin Under Fire & Celtic’s Champions League Push: Rodgers Eyes Strong Start Amid Squad Concerns

The Go Radio Football Show: 20th of August, 2025 In Association with Burger King. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Join host Paul Cooney alongside ex Celtic and Scotland Striker Andy Walker and ex Rangers Assistant Billy Dodds. Rangers’ hopes of reaching the Champions League group stage took a major blow after a 3-1 defeat to Club Brugges. Billy Dodds and Andy Walker dissect the defensive collapse, highlighting poor decision-making and tactical vulnerabilities. They also discuss the fan reaction, with thousands leaving Ibrox early and many calling for manager Russell Martin’s dismissal. Long-time Rangers supporters express frustration over the team’s style of play, lack of defensive structure, and perceived tactical rigidity. The zonal marking system came under fire, with pundits and fans alike questioning its effectiveness. Meanwhile, Celtic prepare for their Champions League qualifier against Kairat Almaty. Despite having over £100 million in the bank, fans question the lack of reinforcements, especially in wide positions. Celtic fans express cautious optimism, predicting a strong home performance and a comfortable lead to take into the second leg.  The show also touches on upcoming fixtures, including Rangers’ clash with St Mirren and the looming Old Firm derby.  Don’t miss it – HIT PLAY and SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode!
