Will Celtic Board deliver 4 or 5 more players to take us to next level? // ACSOM // A Celtic State of Mind
Aug 21, 2026 · 1h 8m
Summary
Paul John Dykes analyzes Celtic’s Champions League victory over LASK, arguing that while the new signings boosted performance, the club must improve its transfer strategy by buying quality players earlier rather than relying on last-minute loans. He critiques the board's risk aversion, citing historical failures to strengthen after successes, and calls for a more proactive approach to squad building. Dykes also announces an upgrade to live broadcasting from a Glasgow studio to enhance production quality and community engagement.
