This week’s announcement of the imminent return of the Green Brigade to Celtic Park promises to lift the stadium on Saturday against St Mirren, and with six league games left we all need to come together and get fully behind the team to help drive them over the line in the title race. Given the position the team is in and the importance of retaining our championship, matchday protests and actions have been scaled back. We acknowledge that the shared focus of supporters for now must be on backing the players in these final weeks.
However, that does not mean the wider issues at the club have gone away. The failures of recent transfer windows, disastrous managerial and football department appointments, and the mistreatment and dismissal of supporters over the course of the season means that change is still needed within our club.
It remains our firm belief that Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay should be removed from their positions and replaced with suitable professionals willing to stand up to the presumed authority of Dermot Desmond and his family.
With season book renewals to be released in the coming weeks, we are asking supporters to withhold their renewals until the final day possible. This is a simple way to send a clear message to the current custodians of Celtic Football Club that fan anger over this season is not limited to a small minority. A huge swathe of the support has had enough and is demanding change.
We urge all fans to loudly and colourfully back the team as they push for the title and the Scottish Cup, but also to use their renewal to send a message the board that change is necessary.
