The Celtic Fans Collective has this afternoon updated its members, including of course The Celtic Star, and have confirmed that they will meet Celtic’s interim Chairman Brian Wilson alongside Executive Directors from the club next week…
And they also confirm that the Green Brigade will meet the club this week with a new to getting the ban lifted as quickly as possible and the support back inside the stadium as Celtic enter a crucial part of the season.
Here is the update from the Celtic Fans Collective…
Thank you for your patience while we have been attempting to organise a meeting with Celtic FC. This has been a more difficult and protracted process than it should have been, and we want to set out the current position.
On Thursday, Brian Wilson contacted a representative of the Collective by email, offering to meet the individual informally in Glasgow. This message was sent to a dormant email address and was only picked up on Friday. The representative acknowledged the email, agreed that a meeting would be beneficial for both the Collective and the Club, proposed dates and times, and asked that further correspondence be directed through the Collective’s email address, which was copied into the reply. This email received no response.
On Monday evening, a different representative was contacted by telephone. The Club proposed that the two representatives who had now been independently contacted meet with George Campbell, Head of Legal, and Brian Wilson at 10am on Wednesday. The representative agreed in principle but again requested that arrangements be made formally through the Collective.
On Tuesday, the Celtic Fans Collective wrote to both Brian Wilson and George Campbell confirming availability for the proposed meeting at 10am on Wednesday. The email included the names of nominated representatives and a proposed agenda. Unfortunately, yesterday afternoon we were informed that discussion of this agenda would require members of the executive team to be present, and they would not be available until next Wednesday.
As a result, the meeting scheduled for today was cancelled, and a new meeting will now take place next week.
In the meantime, the Green Brigade had separately been offered a meeting on Thursday afternoon. Despite their willingness to postpone until after the Collective meeting, we have encouraged them to proceed in the hope of beginning the process that will allow their return to matches as quickly as possible.
We will keep you informed of any further developments.
Many thanks,
Celtic Fans Collective

Thank you for the short synopsis showing how our “ world class “ board conduct business .
An absolute embarrassment to every paying customer of our football club .
E-mails of real importance sent to a dormant address , when the reply was acknowledged and sent , it seems like it was ignored .
These people make me sick and should be gone as soon as practicable.
How the hell is DD a billionaire, if this is an example of who he hires .
One can only hope they bring along some responsible adults with them to meet with the club!
That way they might actually HEAR and LEARN something too!
Personally I do not believe anything the board says.
