Frank and Simon return with a fiery Frankly Speaking after Celtic’s underwhelming draw with Hearts at the weekend.

Frank does not hold back as he questions Celtic’s physicality, describing the performance as lightweight and saying Hearts bullied their way through the game at key moments.

The conversation then turns to the wider picture at Celtic. Frank accuses Dermot Desmond of showing a complete lack of respect to supporters and says the disconnect between the board and the fans has never felt wider. There is also concern over Martin O’Neill, with Frank suggesting the Celtic legend looks disheartened by the current situation.

With the transfer window dragging on and pressure building, Frank makes it clear where the responsibility lies and why the board must act now.

Raw, angry and completely unfiltered Frank McAvennie, exactly as Frankly Speaking should be.
