Owen Coyle: Nancy tactics, Russell Martin abuse, Celtic Dreams & “I’m From the Gorbals- bring it on"

This week Simon is in the studio with Owen Coyle while Frank joins live from the Maldives, and what follows is one of the most entertaining conversations we have ever had on the podcast. Owen gives his full backing to new Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy, defending the early tactical choices and laughing off the drama surrounding the now famous tiny tactics board. He also speaks strongly about former Rangers boss Russell Martin, condemning the horrendous abuse Martin has received and offering a warm assessment of him as both a coach and a person. As a lifelong Celtic fan, Owen opens up about why he felt he could never have been a Celtic striker, and he addresses the rumours about whether he was ever close to becoming Celtic manager. He and Frank revisit the day of Frank’s second Celtic debut against Airdrie with Owen lining up on the opposite side, sharing brilliant memories from a colourful era of Scottish football. Owen also relives the wild 5 to 3 promotion decider between Dundee and Queen’s Park at Ochilview, the pitch invasion that followed, and the moment Dundee boss Gary Bowyer tried to rush him to safety. Owen’s response sums him up perfectly: “I am from the Gorbals. I can handle myself.” Packed with strong opinions, honesty and plenty of hilarious moments, this is Owen Coyle at his most open and relaxed. A brilliant episode for anyone who loves football, Celtic chat or a top class storyteller.
