A new episode of Radio Scotland’s football podcast aired on 12 October 2026, focusing on Celtic’s return to form after a shaky spell during the international break. The 25‑minute program, titled “Naderi’s Hot Streak & Celtic Bounce Back,” featured host Stevie Miller alongside guests Cillian Sheridan and Rory Loy. They explored the factors that helped Celtic regain confidence, the potential impact of Jota’s return, and concerns over Motherwell’s recent slump.
The discussion began with a recap of Celtic’s dominant 4‑0 win over Motherwell, which restored belief among the Parkhead faithful. The hosts examined what changed in the team’s approach and how the victory could signal a new attacking surge. They also touched on the lingering questions surrounding Celtic’s tactics and squad depth as they look to maintain momentum in the Premiership.
Beyond Celtic, the episode covered several other storylines. Rangers were praised for their continued winning streak under manager Derek McInnes, while Aberdeen’s struggles to find consistency were highlighted. Hearts’ emphatic victory over St Mirren was noted as a key moment for the club’s title push, and St Johnstone’s Josh Fowler was commended for another strong performance. The conversation also touched on Hibernian’s search for answers, Dundee United’s emerging talents, and the growing battle across the table.
A significant portion of the episode was dedicated to Ryan Naderi, who has become a pivotal figure in Celtic’s attack. The hosts discussed his recent form and how it could influence the team’s offensive output. They also reviewed defensive concerns for St Mirren and praised Lyall Cameron’s standout display for Dundee United.
