In this episode of the award-winning A Celtic State of Mind, we dive deep into one of the most critical eras in Celtic Football Club history. Join us as we sit down with playwright Jim Orr (co-founder of Save Our Celts and writer of And If You Know The History?) and comedian Des McLean to discuss the modern parallels of fan power and the legendary fan activism that saved the club. From the dark days of the "biscuit tin board" and the birth of Celts For Change, to the historic Fergus McCann takeover, we explore how ordinary supporters stood up to the old board and won. How does the existential threat Celtic faced in the 1990s compare to the fan frustrations surrounding the board and Dermot Desmond today? Jim Orr and Des McLean break down the modern Celtic fanbase, sharing incredible stories of football, faith, family, and the power of collective fan activism. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to the channel and turn on notifications so you never miss an ACSOM live stream or fan debate! ► Shop for ACSOM Merch: https://www.acsom.net/shop ► Register with The ACSOM Blog here: https://www.acsom.net/blog ► Visit Barras Art and Design (BAaD) here: https://www.baadglasgow.com/ #CelticFC #Green Brigade #Scottish Premiership #CelticPark #Paradise #COYBIG #CelticNews Learn more about your ad choices.
