"This is gross negligence." Matt McGlone of Celts for Change, the fans' campaign that helped force out Celtic's old board in 1994, with Peter Martin on what he wants changed now: "a team that's run properly", "better communication with the supporters", and whether Martin O'Neill's legacy is in danger. Six failed European qualifications, Peter Lawwell's "rein it in", "a well-oiled machine" that signs players when it decides, the LASK collapse ("Nobody can spin that"), Lindsell Train's 15%, and the big question: is it time for Dermot Desmond to go? From Straight Talk with Peter Martin, first published in September 2026.
Is it time for Dermot Desmond to go, or for a change of strategy? Tell us below.
