    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. We discuss:

    Welcome to today's ACSOM livestream! As we look ahead to a massive clash against Heart of Midlothian, we evoke the ultimate standard of Hoops resilience: the legendary 1985/86 Scottish Premier Division title race.

Meanwhile, two late, dramatic goals from Dundee's Albert Kidd shattered Hearts' dreams at Dens Park, handing Celtic the championship trophy on goal difference. That is the true definition of Celtic's fighting spirit. No matter the odds, we never stop! In today's live breakdown, we are discussing:
