Let $ABCD$ be a trapezoid with bases $BC \parallel AD$, where $AD > BC$, and non-parallel legs $AB$ and $CD$. Let $M$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$. Let $\Gamma_1$ be a circumference that passes through $M$ and is tangent to $AD$ at point $A$; let $\Gamma_2$ be a circumference that passes through $M$ and is tangent to $AD$ at point $D$. Let $S$ be the intersection of the lines $AB$ and $CD$, $X$ the intersection of $\Gamma_1$ with the line $AS$, $Y$ the intesection of $\Gamma_2$ with the line $DS$, and $O$ the circumcenter of triangle $ASD$. Show that $SO \perp XY$.
