Brian Wilson last night resorted to the dark arts of politics to try to affect the effectiveness on tomorrow’s boycott that has been called by the Celtic Fans Collective after the supporters group met on Tuesday evening…
The former Westminster politician featured in a Celtic TV video last night and rather ambiguously stated that he had now reached out to supporters groups. We can confirm that this does NOT include the Celtic Fans Collective but has now contacted The Green Brigade.
Presumably Wilson has reverted to the previous methods of communicating directly with the various supporters associations (CSA, Affiliation, AICSC etc) with a divide and conquer strategy aimed at undermining the Celtic Fans Collective. No Celtic fan media, including The Celtic Star, have been contacted.

Last night The Celtic Star learned that The Affiliation of Registered Celtic Supporters Clubs (AICSC) voted to leave the Collective and has thereafter advised individual clubs within their organisation to re-join the collective at their own discretion amid unhappiness that they only had one vote for all their members combined while individual independent CSCs all had one vote each.
🗣️ “Eventually, it is debilitating and does affect people. Celtic have always prided themselves on togetherness.”

Today the Collective posted this update while Martin O’Neill addressed the matter at his own media conference ahead of tomorrow’s late afternoon Scottish Cup fourth round match against Dundee at Celtic Park.
The Celtic Fans Collective stated:
“Last night Celtic Football Club released a video of interim Chair, Brian Wilson calling for unity and suggesting he was keen to engage with all Celtic supporter groups.
There had been no discussions between the club and fans beforehand, and emails were sent to several organisations shortly before the club’s release, though the Collective has not been contacted directly.<
“Given that the Celtic board has largely ignored fan communications for months, this demonstrates the impact that the call for the boycott of Saturday’s match is already having.
“We remain keen to engage with representatives of the club to make progress on the issues that matter most to supporters. However, as things stand, there has been no change around the three key issues previously outlined:
* The removal of Michael Nicholson as CEO.
* The reinstatement of the Green Brigade.
* Lifting restrictions placed on fan media.
“Therefore, Saturday’s boycott will proceed as planned. We call on Celtic supporters to send a clear message to the board this weekend by joining this boycott to help deliver the change that is required at our club.”
