It might feel like they’ve been around for much longer, but the Celtic Fans Collective have only been part of the modern-day Celtic story for a matter of weeks - and what a whirlwind few weeks it’s been. From open letters to hastily arranged meetings, official statements to published minutes, it’s been a hectic start for the new fans’ body - and in many ways, they’re only just getting started. Amidst all the noise, we were delighted to be joined by Paul John Dykes of A Celtic State of Mind (ACSOM) - someone who’s been at the forefront of the movement from day one. Paul John shared valuable insight into how the Collective came together, the challenges they’ve faced so far, and what lies ahead for the group. This is the first instalment in a two-part collaboration between The Celtic Exchange and ACSOM, so be sure to tune in to ACSOM on Friday, 17th October at 6.30pm for Part 2! ====================================== 🔔 Want even more throughout the week from Celtic Exchange?
