Matt McGlone was one of the five people behind Celts for Change, the fans' campaign that helped force out Celtic's old board in 1994. With Peter Martin he goes back to how it started ("it grew from 35 people that turned up there"), what's different 33 years on ("this club have got money"), why "this current setup at Celtic seems to be anti-fan", and why the way forward now is a shareholding: Willie Haughey's Celtic Alliance idea, £2 million into the pot for every 10,000 fans who join. From Straight Talk with Peter Martin, first published in September 2026.
