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.

{Ed007's Note - There'll be an update in the morning. The GB issue was discussed at the meeting and kind of got nowhere but during the Zoom meeting the Board reached out to the GB.
There is an ongoing executive recruitment search for Chairman and board refresh this summer with new NEDs and after being pushed on the agreed FAB, it was "agreed" - for want of a better word or putting my neck on the line - that it will be looked into again.

ED007 FAB to this Tim means a delicious ICE LOLLY.

Let's hope they can get the GB back in for the run in, the manager has said as much.

{Ed007's Note - It came to light during the meeting yesterday with the board that it is 2 members of the GB that Mark Hargreaves seems to have a personal problem with - imo that surely goes back to something in his previous employment.
There's still been no new evidence provided of any wrong doing and no further charges have been made, we are where we are over 5 separate Breach of the Peace charges, we've had more staff, players and fans assaulted at Ibrox.}

So they’re actually doing some work to replace the board and get a new chairman in? More jobs for the boys or?

Why is he sticking with Hatate, he's a wasted jersey in most games.

15 Feb 2026 12:58:14
I hope Hatate plays well after the good faith Martin has showed in him today.
Tounekti has played well in his 2 previous games at Rugby Park and can possibly make a difference when he comes on.

It’s pointless even looking forward to seeing the team news - McGregor, Hatate and Maeda all still getting played - can’t afford to carry players especially away from home.
Still can only hope for a performance and result.

Iheanacho missing? Pretty poor if we have bombed him out.

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.

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.

No from me.

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.

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.

It has to be the Motherwell manager.

What had Ferguson won when he went to Aberdeen?

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Sly reporting the OX in Glasgow for his medical
WHEN (not IF) he passes this, surely club must present him to crowd tonight possibly half time, that would be a real crowd pleaser.

I do think he could do a job for us tim. After all he can't be any worse than hatate, mcgregor or bernardo.
However i don't think most fans will be jumping for joy over this signing. he's long past his best and hasn't played all season.

A player like this is always a gamble, but I'd rather gamble and it not pay off, than be in a position to look back, after the event, and think - what if.
MON likes him and thinks he's worth a punt.
If he is the difference in winning the games that are coming against our closest rivals, he will have more than proved his worth.
HH the 'Ox'.

Fingers crossed he still has “it”
Although history with mon gave us Juninho and Fernandez.
