Celtic fans expressed their anger towards the club’s leadership following a 3-1 loss to Rangers on Saturday. Despite an early goal by Yang Hyun-jun, Celtic struggled in the second half, allowing Youssef Chermiti to score twice and Mikey Moore to secure the win for Rangers.
The defeat widened the gap between Celtic and league leaders Hearts, leading to speculation about manager Wilfried Nancy’s future. Chants of ‘sack the board’ echoed in the stadium as fans voiced their frustration.
Thousands of supporters gathered outside Celtic Park, demanding changes in the club’s hierarchy. Tensions rose as fans directed their discontent towards principal shareholder Dermot Desmond. The situation escalated when corporate fans allegedly taunted protestors from a suite window, resulting in clashes with the police.
The strained relationship between fans and the board dates back to previous incidents, including a tumultuous AGM. Despite the loss, Nancy praised his players’ effort but acknowledged the need for improvement in critical moments. He emphasized the importance of unity and expressed confidence in turning the team’s performance around.
