Overview
- The Celtic Fans Collective urged supporters to skip the Scottish Cup match against Dundee, with reports anticipating thousands of empty seats.
- Interim chairman Brian Wilson said he has contacted every supporters’ group and expects meetings within a week, urging unity behind the team in the short term.
- Manager Martin O’Neill cautioned the standoff could become “debilitating” for the club and pushed for swift dialogue to find a middle ground.
- The Collective’s stated demands remain unresolved: the resignation of CEO Michael Nicholson, reinstatement of the banned Green Brigade, and restored access for supporter media.
- Discontent has been intensified by January business that brought in five loan signings and saw Celtic reject a reported offer of up to £25m from Nottingham Forest for Arne Engels.
