    The Centenary Bhoys Reunited | Roy Aitken & Frank McAvennie Relive Celtic’s Historic Double

    12/11/2026 | 58 mins.
    Two Celtic legends. One unforgettable season.

    In this special live edition of Let Me Be Frank, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston are joined by former Celtic captain Roy Aitken, The Bear, to look back on an extraordinary career and some of the greatest moments in Celtic history.

    Frank and Roy relive the famous 1987/88 Centenary Double, including the dramatic Scottish Cup Final against Dundee United, when Frank scored twice and Roy lifted the trophy.

    Roy also looks back on his journey from teenage Celtic player to club captain, with memories of Jock Stein, Billy McNeill and some of the great characters he shared a dressing room with.

    From Old Firm battles and two World Cups with Scotland to captaining his country at Italia ’90, leaving Celtic for Newcastle and moving into management, The Bear has no shortage of stories.

    Recorded in front of a live audience in Coatbridge, this is a brilliant night of football memories, dressing-room stories, laughter and nostalgia with two Celtic icons.

    Subscribe to Let Me Be Frank for more football stories, big-name guests and Frank’s unique take on the game.

    Frankly Speaking: Beaton’s VAR Farce! Høgh ROBBED & Rangers Gifted a Penalty

    09/11/2026 | 29 mins.
    Frank McAvennie isn’t holding back after another weekend of controversial refereeing decisions in Scottish football.

    Macca is adamant Høgh’s goal should have stood and questions John Beaton’s VAR review, believing the decision had effectively been made before the referee had properly looked at the monitor.

    And Frank is just as baffled by the penalty awarded to Rangers against St Mirren.

    Away from the officials, Macca also has a message for Martin O’Neill. Is it finally time for Celtic to go with two up front? Could a change of formation be the answer to their attacking problems?

    Dermot Desmond Facing Takeover Panel Challenge as Celtic Fans Fight Back

    05/11/2026 | 59 mins.
    Could Celtic supporters finally force meaningful change at Celtic Park?

    With tensions between Celtic’s board and supporters reaching boiling point ahead of a crucial AGM, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston are joined by Duncan Smillie and Brian McLaughlin from Celtic Supporters Ltd to discuss their plans to challenge Dermot Desmond’s shareholding.

    The group are seeking a Takeover Panel investigation into whether Rule 9 of the Takeover Code has been breached, potentially raising major questions about Celtic’s ownership structure.

    Duncan and Brian also explain their proposed AGM resolution to trace thousands of missing shareholders and how reconnecting supporters with their shares could influence future votes at the club.

    The panel also discuss mounting pressure on the Celtic board, questions surrounding senior appointments and whether supporters can realistically bring about change.

    Can Celtic fans make their voices heard where it matters most?

    Frankly Speaking: "Stop Taking Celtic Fans For Fools!" Frank Questions O’Neill & Dressing-Room Unrest

    02/11/2026 | 25 mins.
    Frank McAvennie has had enough of the positive spin around Celtic.

    With performances and results continuing to frustrate supporters, Macca questions whether Martin O’Neill is insulting the intelligence of the fans by trying to talk things up. His message is simple: stop taking the Celtic support for fools.

    Frank and Simon also discuss growing concerns over the dressing room, with talk of cliques forming behind the scenes and unrest within the squad.

    There’s also a fascinating transfer story, with Frank saying he’s heard from a trusted source that Celtic tried to bring Scott Bain back from Falkirk during the summer.

    And with Besiktas heading to Celtic Park, Macca fears things could get ugly if Celtic don’t improve quickly.
