The Celtic fans have continued to make their voices heard.
After a hugely frustrating transfer window in which Brendan Rodgers’ public transfer demands were not met, many supporters have run out of patience with the club’s hierarchy.
After the closure of the window, the Celtic Fans Collective sent a clear message to the club’s board, detailing seven key questions that they wanted to be answered.
A comically-timed statement released by the club in response did very little to alleviate concerns – in fact, it only heightened them.
After protests at the last two domestic Celtic matches, the Fans Collective has now announced further action at upcoming matches.
Celtic Fans Collective announces upcoming silent protests
The Collective’s 12th-minute protest at Rugby Park and anti-board banners at Firhill made their widespread unhappiness absolutely clear to the club’s board, who were in attendance at both matches.

And in a new statement, the Collective has said: “As the Celtic board continues to ignore the concerns of the Celtic support, we are launching a three-match home package which reflects their silence.”
The protests will be at these three home fixtures, and for these lengths of time:
27 Sep – Hibs (H) – 12 mins
2 Oct – Braga (H) – 29 mins
5 Oct – Motherwell (H) – 32 mins
The statement adds: “The silences are designed to reinforce the importance of Celtic fans to Celtic Football Club by demonstrating how a silent stadium is in nobody’s interest.
“We hope that the silent package may be called off, at any point, should reasonable progress be made by Celtic Football Club engaging in credible communication with supporters or there being movement in personnel from the Celtic board.”
“The Celtic board cannot continue to commodify our passion while ignoring our concerns.”
What else have fans said about the board?
This is not the first time that a collective of Hoops fans has expressed their displeasure.
A statement before the Kilmarnock protest said: “To help progress these points and the fan movement generally, a steering group of volunteers is being assembled. We would like to thank all who have participated in the meeting so far.
“It is natural that there will be a mix of feeling regarding some actions or inaction, however the most important consideration at this stage is maintaining, building and utilising broad fan support.”
The announcement sends a very clear message: The protests are here to stay.
