The Green Brigade among other prominent Celtic groups will press ahead with their plans to hold the board to account with a rally before the Dundee game on Sunday.
24,500 Celtic fans will be permitted into the stadium but there will be a number at the ground protesting what has gone on in the past 18 months and even beyond when it comes to the managed decline of the club.
We have a Celtic board who have been in place for over a decade for the most part and who have become complacent in their roles. Nothing lasts forever but the almighty fall Celtic have taken as a result of the club happy to be the best of the rest in the SPFL and not shoot for bigger things has saw us decline so sharply you couldn’t make it up.
Last season was blamed on a multitude of things by the club and by the former manager Neil Lennon but never once did anybody look inwards. From allowing the manager to continue when he had clearly lost control of things to letting the team head out to Dubai during a sharp point in a worldwide pandemic were two major things that nailed the coffin in our season.
Going beyond that, we had a major shareholder who allowed himself to be led down a garden path by Eddie Howe without getting any sort of formal assurance. Leaving the club in a ridiculous spot when Eddie pulled out of the deal and Celtic had to further delay a rebuild that could have been five or six months down the line by this point.
The Green Brigade and other other groups are behind Ange and the bhoys, but they want to see change at the top. Some are getting on the groups back already after Joe Hart and James McCarthy has signed – that doesn’t change anything about the objectives of the rally and we fully support the Green Brigade in what they’re trying to do.
We all want the best for Celtic, it’s time to modernise and if that means some of the older players in our board must leave to facilitate such change, then so be it.
