The Celtic Fans Collective has announced that more actions are planned after the controversial ball protest at Dens Park on Sunday afternoon at the Dundee v Celtic match in the Scottish Premiership…
Kick-off disruption protest at Dens Park
Immediately after the game kick-off on Sunday, Celtic fans threw balls and tangerines onto the field, causing a delay to the game while players and staff worked to remove the items.
In the Bob Shankly Stand, one banner displayed the message, “Your incompetence is clear. Resign.” While another carried a blunt demand: “Sack the Board.”
One banner featured images of chairman Peter Lawwell, CEO Michael Nicholson, principal shareholder Dermot Desmond, and CFO Chris McKay, each with their faces crossed out.
New Statement from Celtic Fans Collective
On Monday, the Celtic Fans Collective released a statement across their socials outlining their latest actions after Sunday’s abysmal 2-0 loss to Dundee.
It read: “At yesterday’s match, the Celtic Fans Collective conducted its latest protest action as part of the ongoing campaign against the Celtic board.”
“On the kick-off whistle, fans threw a mixture of balls and tangerines onto the park. This caused a short hold-up to the game where Celtic board members were once again exposed live on TV as thousands of supporters loudly and clearly sent a message that the current board is unfit for purpose.”
“Unfortunately, the team’s performance was symptomatic of the current state of the club and what fans watched was a direct consequence of the failed strategy of the board. Yesterday’s result underlined the urgent need for change in the boardroom with a looming January transfer window which will be critical to the success of this season. It is self-evident that we cannot approach January with the same complacency and arrogance that we have seen in recent windows and that a change in approach is required.”
“Through the ‘Not Another Penny’ boycott initiative and further actions, the Celtic Fans Collective will continue to coordinate activity to force positive change and hold the Celtic board to account.”
