ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - NOVEMBER 27: Celtic head of football operations Paul Tisdale during a UEFA Europa League 2025/26 League Phase MD5 match between Feyenoord and Celtic at De Kuip, on November 27, 2025, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by Craig Williamson/SNS Group via Getty Images)
The Paul Tisdale Revolution started with Celtic losing 2-1 at home to Hearts.
Midway through the second half the Sky Sports cameras moved to the Directors Box where the former Exeter City boss appeared to be meditating with his eyes closed.
Hearts, without a win in any of their four previous matches were comfortable winners with goals coming in the 43rd and 64th minutes.
With 10 minutes left to play the home fans were streaming out of the ground, in the third minute of stoppage time Kieran Tierney scored a consolation with the stadium less than half full.
During the summer Tisdale put his bespoke analytics to use as he restructured the Celtic squad.

MUNICH TO HERE
The descent from Munich in February to now is stark. The consequences of running a football club to generate profits at the expense of players on the park.
Wilfried Nancy has bought fully into the plan put his way.
He was interviewed and got the big hugs from Michael Nicholson at Lennoxtown on Thursday.
When the media turned up on Friday to interview Nancy Nicholson slipped out a side door, typical of his leadership.
On Friday morning the club CEO went in front of the Celtic TV cameras for the first time. It was four wasted minutes for anyone that watched.
MANAGED DECLINE?
More than five weeks after Brendan Rodgers resigned Tisdale has a manager that is in sync with his football philosophy.
Nancy faces a massive task in the coming weeks, working with the squad dismantled during the summer by Nicholson then topped up by the players near the top of Tisdale’s data list.
Next up for Celtic is Roma on Thursday, followed by the League Cup Final against St Mirren a week today. A very tough opening schedule.
The new boss will need to perform miracles on his tactics board to turn the tide on the back of Tisdale’s recruitment nightmare.
Anyone else wish MON had just stayed one more game?
After wednesdays performance….Naw
I said it earlier, Nancy was the cheap option, he’ll do exactly as the board tell him,do we know if the board even tried to get a suitable manager, Knutsen, Brugge manager nah, Nancy was the cheap yes man answer,hope it’s not John Barnes 2.
Switched off at the back and toothless up front. Nancy played with the hand he was dealt, unfortunately Lawwell was the dealer and he already sold all the aces without replacing them. Now we’ve ended up here. It’s not a new manager we needed it’s a new board
The stuntman for the Rio Ferdinand look alike is TATTIE BYE,way out of his depth.
Lol,Nancy tickle your fancy,can just see the headlines now,Nancy Bhoys playing with a girls blouse.
We looked great for 43 minutes … but the lack of quality tells in the end. 3 at the back is adventurous when you don’t have the players to implement it. Early days …etc
WE SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH ST.MARTIN AND SHAUN !
Nancy Bhoy deserves whatever flak comes his way after that shit show !
OK, it’s only his first game but Nancy might not be able to ‘save’ the Board?
Today just confirmed again, that the squad is lacking for the Scottish games – never mind Europe!
…and this can still be traced back to selling Kyogo in January – and that sits with the Board.
What a load of anti Celtic shite as usual. Simple question for
You how many games did Postogoglu loose when he arrived?
Your anti Celtic because of the board and your followers like the shite you write. Why dont you feck off to Govan with your pals Forrest and Knott and the rest of the nutters who wont be celebrating when we win the cup next Sunday
And you wont publish this becuase your a shitebag
Editor: Being a friendly type of guy I will publish this, leave it on the site for 24 hours so that sensible fans can see the sort of Happy Clappers that Uncle Pedro and P67 have doing their missionary work.
As I suggest to most of the visitors from Thick News, when do you next expect Celtic to win 12 points in the Champions League, like the guy that was undermined at every turn by his Chairman, CEO and the Football Doctor from Exeter City?
You are having a laugh!
Does Your Nurse know You Are Out Boy?
We were garbage today, I don’t fancy us to beat st mirren next week. The manager already looks out of his depth and said it is not about winning and losing after the game SHAMBLES!!!
Could be a painful week coming up, with 3 defeats definitely a possibility. At the minute you wouldn’t bet against it.
SACK THE BOARD.
