Celtic's Cult of Dermot Desmond: Why we need a hard reset // ACSOM // A Celtic State of Mind

Is Celtic’s current model sustainable, or is the real problem rooted at the very top of the club? In today’s live stream, the ACSOM panel dives deep into the principal shareholder’s continuous grip on Celtic FC, exploring why a total structural "hard reset" is drastically needed ahead of the massive summer rebuild. With reports confirming that crucial manager talks between Dermot Desmond and interim boss Martin O'Neill have been pushed back - alongside delayed interviews with other candidates in London - the Celtic board is facing major backlash from a fanbase demanded to renew season tickets amidst ongoing administrative limbo. Despite securing a dramatic Premiership and Scottish Cup double, Celtic’s campaign was riddled with operational issues, prompting serious questions over who is steering the ship.
