Celtic have predictably, as they did in the Interim report, buried merchandise revenue in ‘Commercial Operations & Sponsorship’.
You’ve alienated your own customers to the point they’ve stopped buying merchandise and you’ve hid the result to cover your embarrassment.
What a football club.
"I actually think why Celtic are in this position has been a result of poor culture at the football club."
There are problems below the surface in Glasgow, says @JOYPAULIAN 🍀
Dermot Desmond is utterly detached from the average Celtic supporter.
The board do his bidding and run a very profitable business. That does not make Celtic a well-run, aspirational football club. Quite the opposite.
We’re stuck in this doom loop.
1/3 every single appointment at Celtic from the boardroom, security, youth coaches, 1rst team coaches, scouts is done on the basis of nepotism and who you know. Ex players sons are coaches. Ex school pals head of security. Ex players 1rst team coaches.
@HeraldSportScot@mcgowan_stephen Should never have been put in this position and when he was he should have been backed in the transfer market. He’s been badly let down by those above him at the club.
@CelticFC Ridiculous position the club have put this legend in. He is 74 years old and should be enjoying his coffee on the Kings Road. Having gout him in the firing line they failed to back him as they made a huge profit in the transfer window.
This was all so unnecessary.
What we see on the pitch is disjointed. What happens off it is no different. Results are the product of decisions, and the decisions are made in the boardroom.
So ask yourself one question. On this evidence, would you trust the people making those decisions to get the next one right?
Supporters don’t need to buy their way in. Tens of thousands of us already own shares in Celtic plc. What we have never had is a united voice. Scattered, we are ignored. Together, we are a shareholding the board has to answer to.
That is what Celtic Supporters Limited exists to do. Aggregate the shares. Bring the vote together. Put the questions to the board where they cannot be avoided, at the AGM and on the record.
Change at Celtic comes through shareholder pressure. Not boos at full time, not phone-ins. Votes.

Hold them to account.
Today is the final straw for many.
The truth is the decision-makers have brought us to this point through a total lack of vision, talent, and ambition.
Celtic are completely rudderless on and off the park.
I said last week our season was on a knife-edge. Today, we fell off the edge into a full-blown crisis.
