2025 at Celtic has been like watching a bad soap Opera

You would have imagined after the boards failure to replace Kyogo and Idah with decent strikers that the Celtic board would have had at least one of them replaced once the transfer window opened and ready to go into the team for the rangers game but NO!

Martin O’Neill may be back but the Celtic board have let the Celtic Support down its criminal that those running Celtic could not identify a striker in the past 12 months that is ready to go into the first team. After 12 months they went back to try and sign Kyogo to replace Kyogo. I would not trust those in charge of OUR club to run a bath never mind a football club.

2025 at Celtic has been like watching a bad soap opera. The script reads

Act 1

Celtic Manger No.1 asked to be backed. Celtic Board cash in on players, fail to back manager No. 1 showing lack of ambition while piling cash reserves in the bank. Celtic fail to qualify for Champions League. Celtic fans come together to form the Celtic Fans Collective

Act 2

Celtic Manager No. 1 walks away. Non Executive Celtic Director uses official club website to personally attack Celtic Manager No. 1. Celtic board appoint Celtic Manager No. 2 and ban the Green Brigade Ultras.

Act 3

Celtic Manager No. 2 steadies the ship winning all but one game in the Europa League. Celtic move within 3 points of League leaders Hearts and beat the rangers in the semi final of the League Cup. Son of Director attacks Celtic Fans at AGM before the Celtic board shut down the AGM.

Act 4

Celtic Manager No. 2 leaves Celtic. The Celtic board appoint Celtic Manager No. 3 and the Celtic CEO takes to Celtic TV to proclaim Celtic Manager No. 3 was their first choice and how happy they are to have him. Celtic Fan Media Banned

Act 5

Celtic Manager No 3 loses 6 of his first 8 games including a top of table clash to Hearts, the League Cup Final and a Glasgow Derby to the ranger. Celtic Chairman No. 1 stands down. Celtic Chairman No. 2 Appointed. Celtic board sack Celtic Manager No 3 and  then appoint Celtic Manager No. 2 as Celtic Manager No. 4. Celtic board sack head of football recruitment

Act 6

Celtic Chairman No. 2 calls for Unity. Celtic Fans Collective call off Match Day Boycott. Celtic Fans Collective call for meeting with Chairman No. 2 in open letter. Chairman No. 2 fails to respond. Celtic Manager No 4 records a 4-0 win in first game back in charge as fans chant his NAME  and chant SACK THE BOARD.

To be continued hopefully Act 7 sees some new players coming in as called for by Celtic Manager No 4. And some dialogue if the Celtic board between those running the club and the fans who are the heart beat of OUR club.
