In this latest episode, Paul John Dykes is joined by Celtic's last great cult icon, Paddy McCourt, where they discuss:

* A Celtic upbringing in Derry;
* Dreams of signing for Celtic;
* Turning down Dunfermline Athletic;
* Dermot Desmond ordering that he be signed by Gordon Strachan;
* Flourishing under Neil Lennon;
* Scott Brown: The Ultimate Leader;
* The brilliance of James Forrest;
* Receiving bullets through the post;
* The appalling treatment of Neil Lennon.

A Celtic State of Mind has gone from strength-to-strength over the last year, and there are many more guests lined up in the weeks ahead from the world of sport, music, film, art, broadcasting, literature and politics.
