Frankly Speaking is back and Frank McAvennie is not holding back.

Frank reacts to Terry Butcher saying he still has an issue from the old firm shame game and refused an invite onto this podcast. Frank fires right back, calling Butcher boring and insisting he never wanted him on anyway.

The lads also look at Scotland’s incredible win against Denmark. Frank praises Kieran Tierney, saying he is now showing his very best form again.

Frank then turns to Celtic and calls for calm between supporters and the board, saying the club needs unity more than ever.

This week Frank sits down with a fellow former Celtic striker, the one and only Cillian “The Sheriff” Sheridan, for a fast, funny and wonderfully unpredictable conversation.

Cillian reflects on arriving in Scotland as a young Irish lad and the sheer delight of being handed a three year Celtic contract by the much loved Tommy Burns, a moment that changed everything for him. From there, his career became one of the great football odysseys as he tries to name all 17 clubs he has played for across Europe and beyond.

The Sheriff talks about learning Chinese on his travels, why he thinks Irish players have a special resilience, and how proud he is to see Ireland reach the World Cup play offs, helped by the heroics of Dublin boy Troy Parrott, who came through the same youth club.

Frank and Cillian also look ahead to the 2026 World Cup, sharing hopes, predictions and a fair bit of wishful thinking.

Warm, hilarious and full of stories only Cillian Sheridan could tell.

Frank and Simon launch a brand new series called Frankly Speaking where the two of them sit down to talk football, stories and life without a guest in the room.

The pair also chat about Celtic’s hunt for a new manager and what direction Frank wants the club to take next.

Plenty of laughs, memories and vintage Macca honesty to kick off the new series.

This week on Let Me Be Frank, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston sit down with former Celtic, West Ham and Northern Ireland goalkeeper Allen McKnight. His career had everything from the highs of Celtic’s centenary season to the tough days of the McKnightmare headlines and plenty of wild nights out.

Allen talks about growing up in a Protestant household in Northern Ireland, supporting the other side of the Glasgow divide, and then finding himself in goal for Celtic in the 1988 Scottish Cup Final win. He also reflects on his friendship with Anton Rogan, who faced abuse for playing for Northern Ireland, and how football helped both men navigate a divided time back home.

There are plenty of laughs as Allen and Macca look back on their nights out, the characters in the Celtic dressing room, and the moment he won over West Ham fans who once gave him that unforgettable nickname.

Honest, funny, emotional and packed with great stories. One of football’s most entertaining characters tells it exactly as it was.

In this special episode, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston sit down with former Celtic director Brian Dempsey, the man who helped lead the 1994 “rebel takeover” that saved the club from collapse.

From his famous declaration outside Celtic Park, “The game’s over, the Rebels have won,” to the current turmoil at the top of the club, Dempsey reflects on three decades of battles, boardrooms and belief.

He talks about:

⚽ Toppling the old Celtic family dynasty and the dramatic nights that changed the club forever.

💚 His hot-and-cold relationship with Fergus McCann, the stubborn visionary who rebuilt Celtic Park and divided opinion.

💥 His run-ins with Dermot Desmond and his surprise at Desmond’s recent criticism of Brendan Rodgers.

🍀 Why he believes Celtic supporters can one day own their club, and why European glory shouldn’t be just a memory.

It’s part history lesson, part rallying cry, and a reminder that maybe, just maybe, the Rebels can win again.

🎙 Let Me Be Frank brings you honest, funny and unfiltered stories from the people who have lived Scottish football’s biggest moments.
