A Celtic State of Mind presents its 29th instalment of insightful discussion around the culture of Celtic Football Club, the city of Glasgow, and fans of the reigning treble-winning Scottish champions.

Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic's ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.

Tom explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.

Tom also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the 'Celts For Change' movement in overturning the 'family dynasty' board in 1994.
