The Celtic board have come under fire this summer for their handling of the shambolic summer transfer window.
Allowing players like Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah to leave the club without ensuring adequate replacements has fuelled fan anger towards the Celtic board.
So much so that the Association of Celtic Supporters Clubs even issued a vote of no confidence in the Parkhead suits.
And when Celtic supporters learn the fee Hammarby really wanted for Sebastian Tounekti, that anger towards the board is only going to intensify.

English Championship clubs rejected £2.5m Sebastian Tounekti before Celtic
Mark Guidi was speaking about Celtic’s transfer window when he shared how teams from England were interested in Tounekti and how much Hammarby really wanted for the winger.
Guidi told The Go Radio Football Show [42m 45s], “I think it was a very disappointing transfer window for Celtic.
“Some of the fees that they’ve paid, I’m led to believe that the Tunisian winger, Tounekti, that he was on the radar of a couple of English Championship clubs during the window.
“They decided not to go for him and they believed that the fee was between two and a half to three [million pounds] to secure him and Celtic have paid over five [million] by all accounts.”
The Celtic board’s problems continue this week
The Celtic board are under severe pressure this month as fans assemble to affect change at the club.
The fan movement that has happened as a consequence of Celtic’s mismanagement of the transfer window and the club’s ambition has never been seen before since the Celts For Change days back in the 90s.
This week will be interesting in terms of developments as Celtic CSCs, fan media and Ultras groups make a plan of action.
And it seems that this is not going to go, or end, well for the Celtic board.
