Celtic were back in Scottish Premiership action on Saturday against Livingston.

The fixture came a few days after the Hoops’ disappointing 0-0 draw with Kairat Almaty in the Champions League play-off first leg at Celtic Park.

Fans were livid inside the stadium as Celtic struggled to break Kairat down, which prompted chants of ‘sack the board’ during and after the clash amid a poor transfer window for the club.

Those same chants were heard at Parkhead during the first-half of the Livingston encounter, while banners were held directed towards the board before the game.

Green Brigade’s message to Celtic board vs Livingston

Those banners delivered a message to the Celtic’s hierarchy as the Green Brigade let their feelings known with an eight-word message.

Across four banners, it read: “Zero Ambition. Neglect Team. Rinse Fans. World Class Basic Board.”

The message perfectly conveys how Celtic supporters are feeling at the moment, particularly over the lack of big spending this summer.

The Hoops are understrength and weaker than last season after the sales of Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn, plus the injury to Jota.

And fans – as well as Brendan Rodgers – are angry that money is not being spent to replace these players, and the length of time it is taking.

Celtic have just nine days to complete several deals.

Green Brigade’s statement before Livingston clash

Celtic’s main ultras, the Green Brigade released a statement on Friday evening asking fans in the North Curve to back the team, but also to vent frustrations towards the Hoops board.

They said: “While there is justifiable frustration across the support, we ask fans in the North Curve for their usual participation to help back the team both visually and vocally and direct any frustration at the Board.”
