FYI Ed, working off my phone and the button to send my message on the Collective page is covered by an ad… I don’t know if that’s intentional 😂😂😂.

The statement is disappointing, Ed. The club have assumed that by creating a forum for communication they have therefore done their duty. None of that reads like any bi-directional information was shared nor does it seem like there was an attempt to resolve the conflict or build the relationship.

The collective is another opportunity for the club. They don’t need to pacify them, but they do need to create dialogue. I don’t see a “next steps” section, or any action items. On the collective’s side, I don’t see any clear goals here either to be fair. To say you want the GB reinstated can’t be a goal, it has to be longer term than that, and a mutual agreement on what that looks like in the future - otherwise we’ll just see another ban like the other bans before.

BW has a chance here to really turn this around, and I’m wondering if a statement will come from the club on this meeting. I didn’t see one last time but maybe I missed it. THIS AGAIN REITERATES MY CONSTANT FRUSTRATION THAT THE CLUB NEVER OWN THE NARRATIVE.

Why are the collective issuing statements and minutes? If the club want to convey the message that they’re taking this seriously then putting out the minutes is simple… in fact just an olive branch to put out a joint statement with the collective is a massive leap. Honestly, it’s so amateur there’s no even any point in me typing anymore.

Good afternoon,

Firstly, thank you for your patience while awaiting the minutes from last week’s meeting with Celtic FC. The Club had indicated they hoped to provide their version by close of business on Friday. However, we only received a draft this morning and we felt this had key information and discussions omitted.

In the interest of transparency, we have decided to publish our own version today. These are broadly aligned with the Club’s draft, but include the omitted detail.

Many thanks,

Are our Board so tone deaf (or thick) that they think that sort of statement will help? Question to MoN, what hinders you more, some balls on the pitch ( that bothered Stuttgart not a jot) or your Execs refusing to buy you much needed reinforcements? They have had months to "get everyone behind Martin and the team" and have done SFA about it other than issue holding statements.

Worse thing being they actually believe the Sh1t3 they talk.

Good afternoon all

On Wednesday, representatives of the Celtic Fans Collective met with the Club’s Interim Chair and some senior officials to follow up on October discussions and address current supporter concerns. We have detailed a summary of the meeting below, and full minutes will be published as soon as possible.



Key Areas Discussed


Governance and Leadership

* Concerns were raised regarding recent executive decisions, recruitment outcomes, and wider supporter confidence.

* The Interim Chair confirmed he does not hold unilateral authority and that responsibility rests collectively with the Board.

* Recruitment processes are under review.

* Governance and Board refresh discussions are ongoing.

* No commitments were made regarding executive change or specific timelines.


Supporter Engagement

* The absence of a formal, structured engagement mechanism was highlighted.

* ⁠The Collective stressed that any new structure must be representative, democratic and enduring.

* It was agreed that the Club will return within one month with draft proposals for a supporter engagement model, which would then form the basis of a formal consultation process.

* No specific model or implementation timetable was agreed.


Green Brigade

* The Collective raised concerns regarding the ongoing exclusion and its impact on atmosphere and supporter sentiment.

* The Club confirmed dialogue is ongoing and expressed a willingness to resolve matters, subject to conditions.

* No timeframe for resolution was provided.


Fan Media and Communications

* Concerns were raised about the removal of fan media access and recent public communications.

* The Club stated that its communications strategy is under review.

* They informed us that they were not aware who made the decision to remove fan media access.

* No commitments were made regarding reinstatement of access or immediate changes to approach.


Agreed Outcomes

* A further meeting within one month to update on supporter engagement consultation.

* Continued dialogue on the Green Brigade situation.

* Ongoing internal reviews of recruitment processes and governance structures.

The Club stated that they acknowledged the strength of supporter feeling and the seriousness of the current situation. While no immediate structural changes were agreed, dialogue will continue and the Collective will report further following the next meeting. Meeting minutes have been drafted and are pending agreement with the club.

Many thanks,

Would it not be wiser for the fans collective to do this

Issue a statement advising they will Cease and desist until the season is over. Provided the following -

• Immediate re-instatement of GB

•Request no existing season ticket holders will be penalised or loose their right to their seat until the summer transfer window is over.

•Advise a formal meeting to be held on June 1st to discuss 25/ 26 grievances

• Full consultation of club structure moving forward into 26/ 27

• Transparency as to the plans and reasons behind hoarding of cash.

This would mean we would back O’Neill, get what we want and perhaps still hold leverage come the summer.

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.
