Iam Spartak Moscow fan, Was absolutely happy by that time when McGeady came.. Great person/footballer

[@monti4035]

Fantastic player and I missed him when he left,good luck in all you do Aidan

[@georgemurray1939]

It is great to hear a discussion of a player's career which doesn't focus on the after match partying and the stupid stories which marked earlier efforts by Celtic TV to engage with ex Celts. I think Paul offers a steady hand on the tiller to move the interviews on to intelligent and interesting topics. Well Done!

[@mq01]

Paul is champions league and gerry isn't even the juniors

[@christinewilson2348]

Im 43 ....wee mcgeady was OUTRAGEOUS for us ,in terms of abilty ,but not only that ,one of our OWN .......you see and hear how much TB meant to him .....what a player your were wee man ......had pleasure to meet you one night and you were absolutely superb 👌........you had no FEAR pulling on the hoops .....and what a TALENT.....love you wee fella HH

[@michaeljcallaghan78]

Great interview. Could listen to McGeady speaking all day 👏

[@Boabywankenobi]

Thoughtful speaker, obviously a bright guy, sure he’ll be in football the rest of his days.

[@innahype]

Probably the best football interview on the internet right now. Thanks

[@thebloodyshambles]

Great insight to a player I definitely grieved over when he left Celtic. That was a great talk and a great look at the background of managing from a players perspective. Cheers!

[@ConlinKelly]

Quality wee player Aiden was my hero growing up 👍🏻🍀

[@jtad2515]

Loved this guys,Aidens a true modern day celtic legend loved watching him play,as much as id have loved to see him play in the Scotland team youve got to admire his loyalty to Ireland, the fee we got for him was amazing for back then to was like a 50million pound sale in today's terms id say for the era he played in,all the best Aiden hail hail 👍

Classic player Brother. ,,smashing them Huns ,🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪👌✌️🍺

[@ryanlever9253]

What a player! Kinda gutted he didn't start slating Paul n Matthew in Russian.

[@ShaunCee7]

Great guest, love McGeady but the atmosphere is like a funeral. I don’t know if it’s down to the audio quality a wee bit but need to liven the podcast up.

[@mart6788]

Should have got Wee Gordon to interview him

I'm 45 and I still dream about scoring against the Huns hh

My boy often does the Mcgeady spin … you know you’re a skilful player when young boys copy your stuff 20 years on 👏

[@The_GamerGuy-vd6le]

I dont know who Aiden McGeady really is but he looks like a good player and legend to this club and is nice. I've only been a Celtic fan for a couple of months like since last December so I don't know that many legends. Sorry guys.

[@Bradlad88]

Well thank the lord for youtube 😅 check him out

The audio on this is terrible, it's like the mics cut out in-between every word

[@YNWA.HUDDLE]

Hail hail we chap thanks a fie Memories hail Rebel ferw n frew hail hail 🟢⚪️💚🍾🇮🇪

[@Grannyfunnycrisps]

Great interview but the audio is terrible. Are the mics set to only come on when someone speaks and go off between words? It’s really off putting

[@stephenjjmurphy]

Wee bit of constructive criticism, the audio on this video is awful really hard to listen to. Sounds like its cut on and off and missing bits.

[@Ewanl31]

If this is meant to be official ffs get a better background looks like amateur hour flag just out he wrapper not ironed, two tables flung together and crap intro.

[@leannecampbell4551]

Calm doon! 😂Hardly Third World problems! 😂🙃

[@Ewanl31]

@@leannecampbell4551 What makes you think I'm not calm lol. I am merely making an observation that if this is meant to be an Official Celtic Podcast, then there should be a level of professionalism about it. first impressions count, and granted a good guest in Aiden McGeady, but in regards to delivery I expect more from the club. but also expected better delivery in the last few transfer windows as well, so hey, ho!

[@robertcairney2955]

How many assists did Aidan get for Celtic

[@YNWA.HUDDLE]

Rapid player 🙏 Ghod bless 🙌

[@ripfire110]

That audio is shocking

[@christinewilson2348]

He used to terrorise alan Hutton....had that "swagger" that strachan hated ....celtic to the core this lad

[@ScottishDoc21]

Incredible player. Had to put up with a lot of abuse from the unionists, terrible time for journo smears and bias. Should be remembered well

[@paulgal]

Why does it keep cutting out every time they stop talking?

[@sheriffthesevieslayer943]

Such a waste of a talent, could and should have a legend.

[@elflakeador09]

Very true.

[@thescottishbawbag]

As good as he was , never lived up to his true potential, wuda been a much better player had O'Neill stayed at Celtic, unfortunately as good as Strachan was for us he done his nut in. Takes 2 to tango, Aiden done himself no favours , and when attitudes clash someone's gotta go.....also listening to him here, you can tell he is sorry he left and never achieved more than he did with us.

[@tedking3405]

I love this Guy, The wee traitor from Castlemilk LOLLLLLLLLL! If you know your history 🤣😂

[@robertcairney2955]

Think he’s defo found his level now 😂

[@pifflepockle]

Don’t shout at the shooter!!!

[@Polygonal_Sprite]

So $315 million spent with a minimum of $2.5 billion back in revenue. Over $2 billion in profit. I think the mega franchises (3D Mario, Smash, Kart, Animal Crossing, Zelda) make Nintendo around $1 billion profit and the secondary franchises (Splatoon, Mario Party, 2D Mario and Luigi’s Mansion) make around $500 million profit. A crazy place to be financially when you look at the absolute state of the video game industry where teams are spending $50 million on a licence and $50 million on cutscenes like Spider-Man 2 for Sony... Long live Nintendo!!

He sold his career to the first customer who placed a serious bid, Spartak bloody Moscow Hope you enjoyed the experience Àiden, but I somehow doubt it !!!

[@EduardoSalamanca6]

We accepted the bid mate, and built an entire new team with the proceeds. Hooper, Ledley, Izaguirre, Stokes, Commons, Forster, Mulgrew etc

He was at celtic for 10 years. Stop being a dick
