Is the Celtic Board using Martin O'Neill as a convenient shield to cover up their own boardroom failures and structural stagnation? Welcome back to A Celtic State of Mind (ACSOM) as the panel reacts to a massive crisis unfolding at Celtic Park. Despite promises to learn from last season's errors, the Parkhead hierarchy has rinsed and repeated the exact same mistakes, leaving the football department unmodernised and stuck in the past.

In today's live discussion, Paul John Dykes and the ACSOM panel look at the deep-seated issues at the top of Celtic PLC. With three consecutive defeats - including a painful Glasgow Derby disaster and a devastating Europa League exit - the pressure on the Parkhead hierarchy has reached boiling point.

While interim chairman Brian Wilson and CEO Michael Nicholson have put out statements of support, the fans are demanding real accountability. Why is the board refusing to make proactive changes in the boardroom? Why does the crucial Head of Football Operations role remain completely vacant?

Instead of restructuring the club, the board are gambling everything on things simply working themselves out under Martin O'Neill's management. Is this total incompetence, or is the board purposely letting a club legend take the flak for dropping revenues and a disastrous summer recruitment strategy?

What we cover in today’s livestream: 🍀 The Martin O'Neill Standoff: Is he being used as a human shield by Nicholson and Desmond? 🍀 Rinse & Repeat: How the board failed to learn lessons from last season's errors. 🍀 Structural Paralysis: The empty vacant positions, including the Head of Football Operations. 🍀 The Fans' Verdict: How Celtic Supporters are rallying ahead of the crucial AGM.
