Summary

James Gregg is joined by BBC Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel and former Premier League and Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam on the latest Football Daily podcast. They are joined by BBC Scotland’s Chief Sports Writer Tom English to react to Brendan Rodgers’ dramatic Celtic exit, and the even more dramatic statement from Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond. Tom explains how we got to this point, what the reaction has been and what is next for the Hoops after appointing Martin O’Neill as their interim boss. Sami and Charlie then dig into what has happened to reigning Premier League champions Liverpool. Their loss at Brentford was their fourth league defeat in a row, seeing them fall to seventh after a strong start and a sparkling summer window. Where is it going wrong, and can Arne Slot turn it around? 5 Live Commentaries Wednesday 29 October: Liverpool v Crystal Palace, Carabao Cup 1945 Saturday 1st November Nottingham Forest v Manchester United, Premier League, 1500 Burnley v Arsenal, Premier League, 1500 – Sports Extra Tottenham v Chelsea, Premier League 1730 Chelsea v London City Lionesses, WSL, 1200 – Sports Extra
