Celtic fans plan three silent protests at upcoming fixtures

Celtic supporters have announced their plans to stage a silent protest at THREE upcoming home fixtures.

It comes as Hoops fans demonstrate their displeasure towards the club's boardroom figures after a lack of spending in the transfer market during the summer, and the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Around 2,500 Celtic fans walked into Rugby Park late, on the 12th minute, as they staged their first protest against Peter Lawwell, Michael Nicholson and others.

At Firhill last week, they produced over 5,000 posted showing their drive to see change at the top of the club.

Now, for the club's three upcoming home fixtures against Hibernian, Braga and Motherwell, more actions will follow unless a breakthrough in talks can be found between Celtic Fans Collective, and the club.

A statement reads: "As the Celtic board continues to ignore the concerns of the Celtic support, we are launching a three-match home package which reflects their silence.

"Sept 27 - Hibs (H) - 12 mins. Oct 2 - Braga (H) - 29 mins. Oct 5 - Motherwell (H) - 32 mins.

"The silences are designed to reinforce the importance of Celtic fans to Celtic Football Club by demonstrating how a silent stadium is in nobody's interest.

"We hope that the silent package may be called off, at any point, should reasonable progress be made by Celtic Football Club engaging in credible communication with supporters or there being movement in personnel from the Celtic board.

"The Celtic board cannot continue to commodify our passion while ignoring our concerns."
