Celtic Fans Stage Visible Protest, Delay Game Against Dundee
Celtics fans today staged a protest against the club's board, causing a three-minute delay to their game against Dundee. The demonstration involved fans throwing tennis balls, tiny bouncy balls, and oranges onto the pitch after kick-off. Chants of 'sack the board' echoed around the stadium, reflecting growing discontent among supporters with the club's hierarchy.
The protest was not limited to today's match. In recent games, banners targeting the board have been on display, and silent protests have taken place. Today's action was a step up, with fans expressing their frustration in a more visible manner. The protest caused a significant disruption, with players from both teams and groundstaff having to clear the pitch. Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was seen attempting to calm the fans, highlighting the tense atmosphere.
The identity of the club's chief executive or chairman, the figurehead of the club's hierarchy and the target of fans' protests, remains unclear. However, the persistent protests indicate a deepening rift between the fans and the club's management. The club will need to address these issues to restore harmony and prevent further disruptions.
