Judas Part 1Another tale from the Celtic WikiFor Celts of a certain age, there is not a name that illicits greater emotion than Mo Johnston.  Signed in a record deal in October 1984 he was part of a Celtic forward line that should have achieved even more than it did and during that spell.  He completed perhaps the greatest team goal in Celtic's history in the 5-0 title triumph at Love Street.He left but was set to return in a dramatic move in 1989 as Celtic set to try and wrestle the initiative back from Rangers.The rest, as they say, is history.Enjoy… This is a public episode.

Em 1989, o mercado de transferências do futebol escocês foi abalado por uma contratação que deixou os dois lados da cidade em choque: um ex-jogador do Celtic assinou pelo Glasgow Rangers e, como se isso não fosse já suficiente, tornou-se o primeiro jogador assumidamente católico a ser contratado pelo Glasgow Rangers desde a segunda guerra mundial.

His nickname isn't "JFR" for no reason, it's earned. The Sporting KC captain is passionate & fiery. He knows his teammates, coaches, and the fans, all expect this from him. We sat down with Johnny Russell this week to talk about that passion, a frustrating season, and of course... cars. The 32-year-old Scotsman had just got off the treatment table after getting some work done for an "ongoing hamstring problem". But that kind of work is common and he says it's nothing that's holding him back right now. I'd make sure to get the most out of the incredible facilities at Pinnacle as I could, as well. We asked Johnny if he feels like SKC is headed in the right direction after showing signs of life in the 2-2 draw with FC Dallas. "We haven't reached the standards we set last year," he says. "We know that ourselves." Russell is well aware he just hit #5 on Sporting KC's all-time scoring leader charts. He even says he's set "targets" for himself, the first of which was his friend Mo Johnston. Johnny plans to keep climbing the ranks in KC with an eye on Preki at the top. With Alan Pulido out, he's taken over penalty kick duties. He gives us some cool insight into reading keepers and his PK tactics. A few weeks ago after a match, Russell went into the stands and confronted a fan. But after scoring last week, he celebrated in that very spot and once again made peace after the match. "JFR" says he heard some things he didn't like that were directed at his teammates. Things that went beyond criticism, which he says they deserved that night. "I didn't like it. I lost my cool in that moment." We also reminisce about other times he fiercely defended his teammates. Remember the Vancouver Whitecaps getting double red cards? Without Gadi Kinda and a #10, Peter Vermes says the front line has slowly been learning to adapt to a different look in the midfield. Johnny tells how he and Daniel Salloi are working to find space in the final third and create chances. Finally, we get to one of Johnny Russell's favorite things about the US. American muscle cars. He tells us which teammates drive cool cars and that one of them just got rear-ended. And what is JFR's dream car? Just call him 'Russell... Johnny Russell'. Learn more about your ad choices.

In de twintigste aflevering van de Hand van Godcast is het de beurt aan Ino Diepeveen en Jeroen Heijink. Samen blikken ze in deze Paaseditie terug op de gebeurtenissen van afgelopen week. Ino ging exact 5 jaar geleden met de Dutch Hammers mee naar een van de laatste wedstrijden op Boleyn Ground en Jeroen denkt terug aan zijn Paasweekend ooit in Bratislava. De verjaardag van Peter Hoekstra is een aanleiding voor Jeroen om controversiële transfers tussen rivalen te bespreken en komt zo uit op een verhaal dat Mo Johnston (katholiek) ooit bij Rangers op zijn achterhoofd geraakt werd door een pie uit het publiek. Het was ook 25 jaar geleden dat Ajax voor het laatst een thuiswedstrijd in het Olympisch Stadion speelde. Een mooi moment voor Ino om in de geschiedenis van dit complex te duiken. De cover van het nieuwe magazine met Ruud Gullit gehuld in een Sampdoria -shirt brengt Jeroen bij de Mitropa Cup van 1961 en waarom "moest" Napoli in 1990 van de bond kampioen worden?

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 52 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Paul McQuadePaul McQuade is the Editor of the Shamrock Fanzine. He is also the man behind the Walfrid Walking Tours and is one of the founding members of the Celtic Graves Association. He has written three books on Celtic, Said Lizzy To Philip How Celtic Gate Crashed the Coronation, This Is How it Feels to be Celtic an account of the Invincible Season and a book of Celtic Quotes. He is currently writing a biography of Johnny Doyle.Paul and Andrew chat about the current situation at Celtic while Paul reflects back on his formative years growing up and starting on his Celtic supporting journey. Johnny Doyle died on his 11th birthday and he now finds himself writing a biography of the player. As a youngster he waited outside the stadium to get Mo Johnston's autograph, he has no plans to write a book on him.His love of Celtic and Celtic's history started at a young age when he was gifted a collection of books on Celtic and started to travel on supporters buses. He chats about selling Not the View during his University years in Edinburgh and the story telling that he has enjoyed from fellow Celtic supporters over the years. The 90's may have been bad but you have to chuckle when he mentions Tony Mowbray's testimonial when we were singing “Always look on the bright side of life”. A Monty Python moment!Player recruitment and the policy of interference going back to Gordon Strachan's time as manager get questioned and the fans stories of buses and away trips to Europe which may well lead to a book, Paul recounts stories like the bus that crossed the Alps from Turin after the windows were put in and takes us right back to the Celtic Brake Clubs who were the originators of Football Away Days. Like his pal, Brendan Sweeney, Paul's research for his books is amazing and that shines through in this conversation with his knowledge and love of Celtic. Both Paul and Brendan are just two of the founding members of the Celtic Graves Association and it was great to see how it came about and the work they and the other volunteers have done since then and the famous names they have honoured and remembered. Paul also takes us on a Virtual Walfrid Walking Tour starting at Celtic Park which leads us then through the streets of the East End of Glasgow from the 1870's onwards which is a fascinating listen.

Is this prospect doomed with a number of clubs publicly objecting before discussions take place next week? Yogi then talks us through his playing career, which began at the humble surroundings of Newtongrange Star and Berwick Rangers. After a brief stint at Swansea, he made his name with Falkirk under Jim Jeffries in a five year spell that saw two promotions and a Challenge Cup success. His performances earned him a move to Celtic under Tommy Burns for just under 18 months before moving onto boyhood team Hibs then Ayr United. As he was winding his playing career back at Falkirk, Yogi then became Manager at the club, taking them into a five year stay in the top flight and a Scottish Cup Final in 2009. He then had just over a year at Hibs and then short stints at Livingston and Hartlepool before moving to Inverness in 2014. It was in the Highlands he enjoyed, arguably, his best success, winning the Scottish Cup and finishing third in 2014/15, thus winning Manager of the Year. This podcast is a joy from the start as Yogi reminisces over his career where he's played alongside some of the games best characters from Simon Stainrod to John Collins, from Mo Johnston to Russell Latapy. His passion for the game is there for all to see. We hope he's back in the game soon, maybe even in Perth.

This week St Anthony is joined by a Celtic star whom Saint would put into a list of potential all time great Celtic strikers - Mr Frank McGarvey. Most will know that Frank began his career very succesfully at St Mirren before, in May 1979, McGarvey signed for Liverpool for £270,000. However, his tenure with the club lasted only 10 months. Unable to breakthrough into the first team, McGarvey sought a transfer. Liverpool accepted a bid of £270,000 by Celtic in March 1980, and for a short time McGarvey became Scotland's most expensive footballer. McGarvey played 245 times for Celtic over five years, scoring 113 goals. In that time he won two League Championships, two Scottish Cups and a Scottish League Cup. However, Celtic manager David Hay decided Mo Johnston and Brian McClair would be his forward line for the 1985–86 season and declined to offer McGarvey an extended contract. His final, and perhaps most notable act as a Celtic player, was to score the winning goal six minutes from the end of the 1985 Scottish Cup Final. In June 1985 McGarvey rejoined St. Mirren for £80,000. Two years later, he won a third Scottish Cup with them. In total he played 387 times for St Mirren, scoring 125 goals. Later in his career, McGarvey had spells with Queen of the South (where he was player-manager), Clyde (with which he won a Second Division Championship title at the age of 37) and Shotts Bon Accord. Having retired from the game before footballers began earning high salaries (he notes that he "took home £190 a week after tax" while playing for Celtic) McGarvey now works as a joiner. In 2008, McGarvey wrote an autobiography called Totally Frank in which he described the highs and lows of his career and revealed how he overcame a long-time gambling addiction

Yesterday's action saw newcomers to the competition Tottenham battle out a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen; in the same group, defending champions Inter Milan drew with the same scoreline away to FC Twente. Barcelona showed their credentials for recapturing the Champions League trophy with a 5-1 demolition of Panathinaikos, with a possession percentage of a remarkable 74%. The so-called 'Battle of Britain' bored everyone with a 0-0 draw where Rangers went to Old Trafford with their mind set on defeat but came away from Manchester with a point. Other results: Benfica 2-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv; Lyon 1-0 Shalke; Bursaspor 0-4 Valencia; FC Copenhagen 1-0 Rubin Kazan. Today brings the second half of Matchday 1 where the likes of AC Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Arsenal get their Champions League campaigns running. Steven and Kenny will give a rundown on yesterday's action and preview today's match-ups as well. Phil Ball from ESPN Soccernet will join us to discuss Valencia's and Barcelona's mathces yesterday and preview Real Madrid's match today. We will get the thoughts of Mark Ogden from the Telegraph on the match at Old Trafford last night between Manchester United and Rangers. Nigel Reed from CBC Sports will join us to discuss the firing of Preki and Mo Johnston at Toronto FC and what it means for the club.
