Celtic have created a situation they cannot explain away after The Anfield Wrap was given access to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and supporters are now demanding answers.
Hoops star Oxlade-Chamberlain was interviewed by the Liverpool fan media site as the club opened its doors while continuing to shut out its own Celtic supporters. That imbalance is now under direct scrutiny.
What might once have passed quietly in the past is now being challenged in clear terms as the Celtic board continue to shut out fan media.
And the Celtic Fans Collective have sent a response that is now impossible to ignore.
The decision by Celtic FC to allow fans of another club access to Lennoxtown to interview a Celtic player while banning our own fan media is the latest example of utter contempt supporters are currently held in. pic.twitter.com/OU16st6Dvk

Celtic fan media exclusion contradicts club actions
Celtic granted external fan media access to Lennoxtown to interview Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. At the same time, Celtic fan media remain banned from similar access.
That gap has been clearly defined and challenged. The core demands set out by supporters leave no room for confusion.
- FAN MEDIA MATTERS. CELTIC KNOW THAT. This week we’ve seen Liverpool fan media, The Anfield Wrap at Lennoxtown interviewing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Celtic fan media? Still banned. That contradiction needs explained.
- ENGAGEMENT MUST BE FAIR. Celtic fan media should be treated with the same legitimacy as any other outlet. There should be a clear and consistent approach to supporter access. Anything less raises serious questions.
- IT CAN’T WORK BOTH WAYS. Celtic cannot be allowed to acknowledge the value of fan media while excluding their own supporters from it. You cannot claim to improve communication while silencing your own support. The ban on fan media should be lifted with immediate effect.
The description of a contradiction that needs explained reflects the scale of the issue. This is a defined and visible divide in how access is being granted.
Celtic must apply fair and consistent media access
The demand is not complex. Supporter-led media are being positioned as legitimate voices that deserve the same recognition as any other outlet.
The claim of utter contempt underlines the strength of feeling behind that position. It places responsibility firmly on the club to respond.
There is also a clear endpoint being set. The call for change is immediate and leaves no ambiguity about what supporters expect next.
Celtic now face a straightforward decision. Maintain a position that cannot be justified or correct it in line with the standards being demanded.
