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,

Hi all


At the meeting on Tuesday evening, there was a discussion around further protest action on Saturday outside the stadium.


Members of the steering committee agreed to consider the practicalities and implications of wider protests and have since agreed that the focus on Saturday should remain firmly on the boycott with no distractions. Therefore, there is no other protest action organised for the stadium on Saturday by the Collective.


The new website is now live, and you can find it at www.celticfanscollective.com


We’d like to thank everyone for their attendance and input on Tuesday night.


Many thanks,

Why are the Celtic Collective trying for a boycott this Saturday when nearly 40,000 fans have already paid for their tickets?

If they’re planning a boycott it needs to be done properly and this Saturday is not the answer.
I’ve already mentioned in an earlier post about waiting until Sunday for a potential home draw in the next round and then boycott properly by giving them Zero money.

It will look like the Braga early kickoff match.
There was under 30,000 at the match but over 40,000 paid for tickets but couldn’t make the game.

If we don’t get a home tie in the next round -

Then boycott the European home match against Stuttgart.
Our money is due to come out on Monday and that will give our fans time to cancel their home ticket scheme direct debit.

That would be a much bigger statement than boycotting a game that the Board have already been paid for.

Totally agree buzz and they should also be calling for the removal of the Desmond's, McKay and Wilson.

The only thing we can do to get this board to take notice of the fans is a ST boycott. Once they seey ST renewals are not going as they like they will find a scape goat on the board ans that will be MN. but they all have ro go. The other way to oust this board if any fans wirh share gives their pro y vote to CSL. Celtic Supporters Ltd. If you have lost your share certificate they can trace it for you.

I have 3000 shares and have given them my proxy vote once they get 29.9% they can have a huge say on the bord room. So please pass this on to anyone who has Celtic shares. CSL doesn't get your shares they only want your right to vote at rhe AGM. So if any Celtic fans want to make a change please contact t CSL.

Evening all,

As you know, we published our open letter to Brian Wilson on 6 January, clearly outlining what we were seeking to achieve. Brian Wilson responded to the Collective on 8 January, acknowledging the letter and echoing the call for unity. However, he did not propose a date or time to meet and discuss matters further.

The same day, we replied with three proposed dates for this week and asked him to confirm. To date, we have received no response. In the absence of any engagement, we therefore consider this an outright decline.

We will be sharing the overview below on social media this evening to keep everyone informed as we move towards discussing the next stages of the campaign.

After the removal of Wilfried Nancy and Paul Tisdale and the reappointment of Martin O’Neill, interim Chair Brian Wilson asked supporters to unite and push the team through the second half of the season.

Despite the anger and calls for a boycott, we agreed unity was in Celtic’s best interests. We contacted Wilson to arrange a meeting, on the understanding that mediation would be needed to unite supporters.

That offer has been ignored. Instead, Wilson has used his time this week to attack the Scottish Government as tired and visionless in a national newspaper.

At the same time, Martin O’Neill has been left managing expectations while admitting there has been no proper planning for the January window. Once again, Celtic have been caught short and are desperately failing to recruit the players required for the title race. More than a year after selling our star striker, we still have not replaced him.

To use Brian Wilson's language. the Celtic board is tired and visionless.

If Wilson wants unity, it requires action, accountability and reconciliation. Our manager must be supported in the transfer market, the Green Brigade must be brought back to the stadium to reinvigorate the matchday atmosphere, the fan media ban should be revoked and the interim Chair must be willing to engage with supporters to mend the disconnect that has grown this season. Only then will his calls for unity have any meaning.

Many thanks,

Ed there was a statement from the Affiliation of Celtic Supporters Clubs that you may wish to add to the collectives posts.

Celtic Fans Collective Update:

Good afternoon,

Thank you again for the volume of emails received over the Christmas period, and particularly in the last few days. We will do our best to respond to each one in the coming days, and we fully recognise the depth of feeling within the Collective and the wider support.

We are aware that a meeting is required as a matter of urgency to discuss how we can respond to the alarming trajectory the Club is currently on. We are treating this as a priority and are exploring the most effective way to convene such a meeting as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we have another home fixture this Saturday. There is a wide range of views on how this should be approached. For many supporters, this match cannot be “business as usual,” and a growing number are calling for more direct action to drive change urgently.

With that in mind, we would greatly appreciate if you could consult your members and complete the short survey below. Please return your responses by 6pm on Monday 5th. This will play an important role in shaping what course of action supporters would like to see this weekend and beyond.

We will provide an update on the next meeting of constituent members as soon as arrangements are confirmed.

Many thanks,

Hi All,

Thank you to everyone who quickly responded to yesterday’s email and provided valuable suggestions and feedback for the next stage of the campaign.

The Celtic Fans Collective welcomes the departure of Peter Lawwell from Celtic Football Club. During his tenure, the club failed to progress in line with its resources, potential, and the clearly expressed expectations and ambitions of the support. Change at board level continues to be both inevitable and necessary.

The notion that fans have pursued a threatening campaign against Peter Lawwell and the board is baseless and part of a wider pattern of unsupported allegations being made against fans. Today, a newspaper story has even alleged that a supporter brandished a knife at board members during the match against Dundee United. Photographic evidence makes it very clear that this allegation is completely unfounded, and this stands as a ludicrous example of how eager some are to portray the campaign for change as a baying mob. The Celtic Fans Collective is committed to peaceful and principled campaigning to hold our board to account.

The real story is that our club is in disarray both on and off the park. The Celtic board is responsible for the team’s decline and for the growing disconnect between the club’s leadership and its supporters. The longer they remain in place, the more damage they will do to the club we all love.

We call on all supporters to join us for a historic demonstration at 2pm on Sunday 21 December, ahead of the match against Aberdeen, to demand the resignations of Michael Nicholson, Chris McKay, and Brian Wilson. We also call on all fans to continue to hit the board in the pocket by supporting the Not Another Penny campaign on Sunday and in the run up to Christmas.

Celtic supporters have a long and storied history of organising collectively, often against overwhelming odds, to achieve great victories. This moment in our club’s history calls on fans to unite once again and to send a crystal-clear message to the current custodians: your time is up.

One down. More to go.

Many thanks,

Hi all,

Thank you for your patience while we awaited the notes from the meeting held with Celtic FC and Police Scotland regarding the Fairhurst report. Celtic FC had 3 representatives, and Police Scotland also had 3 representatives.

As you'll see in the notes, on 17/ 11 the Celtic Fans Collective requested that two reps attend the meeting on supporters' behalf. This was a reasonable request that would have ensured balance and allowed for full and accurate note-taking. Unfortunately, we received an email the night before from Mark Hargreaves stating that the Club's position was that one fan representative was proportionate. This was a disappointing decision and one we didn't get an explanation for.

Looking ahead to this weekend's action, we now have a promotional video ready to publish on social media. Due to its file size, we are unable to share it in advance.
