Celtic Fans Collective, Founded September 2025.
The Celtic Fans Collective captured those frustrations in their communication on 3 September, posing seven direct questions to the board.
Since then, two public protests have followed. And since then, the club’s silence since has remained resolute. So, let’s have a reminder what those seven questions were –
1. What is the club’s long-term football strategy, and when will it be communicated to supporters?
2. Why was there no decisive investment in key positions despite obvious weaknesses and clear requests from the manager?
3. What accountability exists for repeated failures in player recruitment and transfer execution?
4. How will the club modernise its football operations to compete in Europe and end years of early-round disappointment?
5. When will the results of last year’s supporter survey be published, and how will those findings shape club policy?
6. Why have the results of the Fairhurst Inquiry into policing and supporter treatment not been released, and what action will follow?
7. Why does the club continue to resist meaningful collaboration with fans on match-day experience, ticketing and atmosphere?

None of these questions are complicated and they aren’t going away. All could be addressed with a clear statement and a plan of action. Instead, it seems the board has focused on managing perception, outsourcing PR, while retaining tight control over football operations, the very area where its methods have been repeatedly exposed as outdated.
