If the support isn’t taken for granted then why is it that when collectively the Celtic support asks a number of very reasonable questions the Celtic Board cannot even acknowledge this never mind provide answers to are going to be needed to do as Brendan Rodgers has been talking about, in bringing the club back together again.
Clearly the Celtic Board feel that they have nothing to apologise for or perhaps they feel that saying sorry to mere supporters is beneath them? The failure to answer a set of reasonable questions put to them collectively by the Celtic support is entirely unacceptable.
Michael Nicholson’s failure to speak directly to the Celtic support has become a real problem now, especially after that Saturday night statement that was prepared and released at the highest level in the Celtic boardroom and just before that a so-called Celtic Insider briefing against the Celtic manager in the Sun newspaper.

All Brendan Rodgers had done was from his first media conference ahead of flag day, which was attended by The Celtic Star, basically plead for the new signings that were needed to get Celtic into the Champions League. The Champions League draw could not have been more favourable, yet Celtic – yet again – as has happened under the watch of this Celtic Board for Ronny Deila, Brendan Rodgers (in both spells), Neil Lennon and Ange Postecoglou, failed in the qualifiers because of the failure to sign players ahead of these games.

It’s complete and utter stupidity and it’s something that has to change because the Celtic support has had enough and the protests will continue and increase until the Celtic Board are prepared to address the concerns of the year-on-year biggest investors in club, the Celtic support.
