Celtic Transfer Rumours Mobile

Afternoon all

A meeting will take place today at 3pm between representatives of Celtic Fans Collective and Celtic FC.

This meeting was originally scheduled for last week but was postponed to allow for the Club to include the executive team. Celtic FC emailed late last night to confirm attendees, and no executives will be present after all.

Representing the Club will be Brian Wilson, George Campbell, Kevin McQuillen and John Paul Taylor.

Apologies for the very late notice, but we would like to propose a Zoom call with everyone following the meeting this evening at 8pm to debrief on the key discussion points and discuss next steps for the Collective. The link is below for those who can attend. Again we kindly request that this link is kept private.

An email update will be circulated tomorrow for those who can't attend this evening at short notice.

Evening Times reporting that Engels is out with a thigh injury for a minimum of 9 games.

16 Feb 2026 13:21:37
only a couple of weeks on the current fixture schedule then!

Celtic have plan to install Martinez

According to SMSM

Or is it just Lazy Journalism because wee Maloney here already

We could do worse and I think he would bring an organistion which we badly need.

12 Feb 2026 11:35:00
His football is very slow, horseshoe type. Not saying no but it's mundane.

12 Feb 2026 14:58:56
JIM, I agree he had a wealth of talent with Belgium and they were not a good watch either.

Don’t recall Portugal being great to watch as well but they still insist on playing the old tadger Ronaldo.

12 Feb 2026 17:57:32
No from me.

12 Feb 2026 19:26:09
Dont often listen to Radio Snyde but ther was a caller on making the point of why does so many of our fans want the Well manager, yes they are playing attractive football but he's won nothing.

12 Feb 2026 19:53:16
Martinez would be a poor appointment.

12 Feb 2026 21:25:15
I wouldn't be pleased if we brought martinez in. Plays boring football and hasn't an overly impressive record.
Keane or Mckenna for me although both may be unavailable come the summer if talk of keane taking over spurs and mckennas ipswich get promoted.

13 Feb 2026 08:12:03
It has to be the Motherwell manager.

13 Feb 2026 09:26:38
What had Ferguson won when he went to Aberdeen?

13 Feb 2026 20:52:21
One of the posters on here mentioned a name a few weeks ago, Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth manager) , he sets his team up and plays the way many Celtic supporters would like.

Also, the Dane currently at Motherwell. If they finush strong, as I'd expect, he'll be snapped up.

13 Feb 2026 23:27:06
Pedro i'm pretty sure iraola was linked with us before he got the bournemouth job. Would be a good appointment but there's no way he's leaving a epl club to come to us. Money talks.

14 Feb 2026 11:37:39
The lad at Motherwell might be a shout.

14 Feb 2026 16:10:22
I hear you DT, although, IF we had a structure in place, DOF etc, and, wait for it, ambition - perhaps we could attract him or a coach like him with regular European football.

Having said that, yer man at Motherwell is doing everything right up until this point.

15 Feb 2026 09:30:58
After the finical results and the wording. It won't be a expensive manager. Lots of words to say we are tightening our belts. All caused by the board.

Hi all,

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,

Mildly encouraging . . . . cheers Ed.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you Ed for this update 👍.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🏻👍🏻

11 Feb 2026 17:40:37
Thanks for keeping us updated mate.

{Ed007's Note - No probs 👍

Is this a genuine attempt or are the board playing games?

07 Feb 2026 11:19:34
Apparently offered midfielder schlager a pre contract for next season.

07 Feb 2026 11:43:28
I looked at some stats on him Mally and the two that stuck out where his games missed through injury and his salary.

Both of those, one is as high as the other, for me, make it a non starter.

07 Feb 2026 15:38:14
I'd try and tempt Harry Wilson on a pre contract as well. Always rated him as a player.

If they're willing to meet, that's a start and let's sort this mess but there's got to be compromise on both sides the G B ain't squeaky clean and neithers the board, so sort it.

06 Feb 2026 18:39:35
It's dodgy that the board are not meeting with the collective and are instead trying to meet with groups separately. All groups should say collective or nothing.

06 Feb 2026 18:48:44
Divide and conquer, a tactic of powerful people as old as the hills.

06 Feb 2026 19:40:14
I see your point Joe but the gb issue isn’t the same as the collectives, yeah the collective have campaigned for end to ban but sorting a ban with a specific group who once ban ended there will have to be agreements i'd imigine ( that doesn’t affect other supporters ) .

The collective can continue after that to include fan treatment etc in concerns and dialogue, but the issue of ban is between gb and club, if the collective do have part in the discussions it will be transparent for other supporters rather than she said he said, so I can definitely see a positive to it,

{Ed007's Note - Great point Jaa. A lot of people forget that the Fans Collective was set up to force changes a the Club before the ban on the GB came in - which was partly a move against the Collective and to silence protests.
Once the ban on the GB is hopefully lifted the Collective can get back to doing what it was actually set up to do.
The ban on the GB has been a massive distraction from the fundamental issues at the Club - exactly what it was supposed to do.}

06 Feb 2026 21:41:20
Stand with the banned, negotiate with the whole collective in my opinion. It is same as unions, they are best uniting to give themselves best chance of success.

Remember the miners got split which allowed thatchers government to crush them. We should not be as foolish and we should stand together.
