Celtic have Lisbon on our minds: Don't let the Board blur Euro vision // ACSOM // A Celtic State of Mind

🍀 Welcome back to A Celtic State of Mind! We are the award-winning ACSOM podcast and fan channel. We bring you daily debate, match previews, post-match reactions, and exclusive interviews from the heart of the Celtic community.

As Celtic prepare to face Benfica in Europe, the support returns to the very country where the Lisbon Lions achieved immortality in 1967. But six decades on from our greatest triumph, a familiar frustration overshadows the romance of the fixture. While the fans have Lisbon on their minds and demand true European ambition, has the Celtic Board lost its focus?

In today’s livestream, the ACSOM team discusses the growing disconnect between the supporters' continental dreams and the boardroom’s corporate reality. Are the directors protecting the legacy of 1967, or are they blurring our modern Euro vision by prioritising retail, merchandise, and balance sheets over sporting ambition?

We dive deep into the pre-match tactics for the Benfica game, analyse the squad's readiness for the European stage, and debate what it will take for the Celtic PLC to truly match the ambition of the fans.
