HUNDREDS of Celtic supporters gathered in the East End today in protest against the club’s hierarchy.
Fans chanted “sack the board” and displayed banners objecting to the Parkhead supremos’ handling of the team’s affairs this season.
The Hoops trail city rivals Rangers in their quest to win a landmark tenth title in a row while they were knocked out of the Betfred Cup by Ross County last month.
That defeat sparked spontaneous protests outside Celtic Park with some supporters clashing with police. A similar rally the following Sunday, after a league draw with St Johnstone, was also held.
Today's demonstration was arranged in advance by the Celtic Trust and protestors were urged to follow social distancing guidelines and remain respectful. Despite an earlier claim by the fans’ group, the club did not encourage the meeting, nor did police.
Speaking during the meeting, Jeanette Findlay, one of the trust’s founders, accused the board of not caring about Celtic fans.
“The board, who are responsible for all of this, whose job it is to make sure we have a successful team on the park, have had nothing to say,” Ms Findlay said. “Absolutely nothing."
