Opta Celtic

Season 14, Episode 27,   Mar 29, 2020, 12:16 PM

Harry and @antonymurray25 talk with the Opta Stats man for Celtic Games, John Gallagher

The UK (and most of Europe) lockdown continues but that never stops the Celtic chat.  This week I am joined by someone who I have met many times at post game Celtic press conferences and someone I have been meaning to get on for some time - John Gallagher.

John is a former professional footballer who played and coached at a level below the top flight but far above the standard most of us could only dream of however the main reason I have John on the pod is because John generates the Opta stats at Celtic home games.

In this pod John explains exactly how those stats are created and gives an insight into how that makes you see things a little differently.

I am joined from Bratislava by @antonymurray25 and we quiz John on his time in the lower leagues and his time at Opta.

Enjoy…
