    You won’t catch me giving them another penny until things have drastically changed boardroom wise.

    Martin Compston and that Gianni Capaldi sitting with Strachan at the game last night.

    Supposed “Big” Celtic fans. Always giving the big one on social media. Bet their mouths are firmly shut in regards to the board and how we are run. Nothing worse than celebrity fans who kid on they are as invested as we are.

    Very few Celtic fans were criticising the board up until November 2020.

    I’m all for the support gunning for them now, but I don’t like this narrative that it’s always been this way.

    I’d say the support facilitated much of what we’re seeing today.

    The communication from them, as always is a disgrace..

    Is the A/CEO a permanent appointment.
    Are we looking at a DoF?
    What happened with DM, personal reasons appears very much a cop out. Was he incompetent or are the board unwilling to change.
    Head of Recruitment?
    Back room staff for Ange?

    They treat us with absolute contempt, unless they get their * in gear quickly, we should replicate that contempt and start hurting them where it hurts.

    Absolutely spot on the core of the problem is this board and also Desmond who has let this * show behind the scenes to continue .
    The structure of the club is * and the board don't seem to do anything to fix it where's the new permanent CEO where's a head of recruitment and where's Ang backroom team that he wants and not the two clowns of Kennedy and Strachan.
    The squad is miles from being decent for a long season in four competitions and that's on the board and it seems they are accepting this season a write off by the under funding of the squad but still have £20 million in the bank .

    Leverkusen had a fitness coach running their subs through the warm ups (during the game).

    I don’t think we’ve even replaced Rodgers’ fitness set up. We’re a clown show.

    We shouldn't have rushed to buy season books. We knew what this board was about but we backed it anyway. We honestly can't complain. It's like voting Tory then complaining when they take your milk away.

    We'll all do it again next season regardless of what happens this season and they know it.

    This is Celtic now. A good season every now and again if we get lucky with a manager and some signings and overall just steady decline to the Europa Conference.

    Again, another international break has came and went..

    The usual silence from the Board grows louder.

    We're still none the wiser on why McKay left, personal reasons are an absolute cop out..

    The infrastructure at the club isn't there, surely the international break would be a good time to engage with fans, but no..

    Is the A/CEO a permanent appointment, are we looking for a DoF and or Head of Recruitment.. Who knows?

    Ange is operating severely curtailed.

    This shambles continues..

    It feels like it's the norm now to expect a poorly run club. Feel like it's hopeless at this point.

    Tbf I always thought Martin Compston understood the situation in the same way as a ‘Normal’ fan. He at least calls the Huns out

    Graeme Mathie was spotted in the Directors Box during Celtic's win over St Johnstone - sparking speculation he could be lined up for a role at Parkhead.

    The 38-year-old former Hibs sporting director left Easter Road last month after seven years at the Edinburgh club.


    And Mathie’s appearance in the VIP seats at Celtic Park for the Hoops' clash with St Johnstone has set tongues wagging.

    Celtic have been undergoing a major restructure since the summer with new boss Ange Postecoglou appointed alongside chief executive Dom McKay.

    But McKay’s time in charge was short-lived with Michael Nicholson succeeding the former SRU chief after his sudden departure



    Postecoglou said Nicholson has all the credentials for the role as the search for a director of football and head of recruitment continues.


    The Hoops boss said of acting CEO: “We are very much working together at Celtic to put the pillars in place that we need to.



    Gordon Strachan has joined the club on a consultancy basis while continuing his role as Dundee technical director.


    Mathie helped revolutionise Hibs after he was initially brought in during the summer of 2014 to work under former chief executive Leeann Dempster and head of football operations George Craig, firstly as head of recruitment and then sporting director once Craig decided to retire in late 2019.

    He played a key role in helping to build a squad that won promotion to the Scottish Premiership and ended 114 years of hurt by winning the Scottish Cup.

    Mathies departure from Hibs was sudden was it not?! Might be something in this. Wait and see I guess.
