The Green Brigade have released a lengthy statement outlining the key questions they want answered by Celtic chiefs Dermot Desmond, Peter Lawwell, Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay.
Signed by 10 Celtic fan media organisations, four fan organisations and 87 supporters' clubs, the Celtic faithful have called on the club's board to publicly address the fans following a disappointing end to the transfer window.
Celtic's Champions League exit to Kairat Almaty was compounded with the sale of Adam Idah to Swansea City for £6m, with Brendan Rodgers made to look silly after saying the striker wouldn't be allowed to leave without a replacement brought in.
Of course, this was not how matters played out, with Kelechi Iheanacho instead signed as a free agent late last night after the window had closed at 11pm on Monday evening.

With over £60m sitting in the bank, as well as the sales of Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn this year, the board's reluctance to investment significant funds into the first team has led to frustrations boiling over in the stands, with chants of 'sack the board' heard at games. Dropping into the Europa League hasn't helped the situation either.

Now, the Green Brigade and others are demanding that the club's hierarchy speak out, and show transparency as to why certain actions weren't taken during the transfer window to avoid this situation.
The co-signed statement reads: "After a disastrous transfer window and failure to qualify for the Champions League, Celtic supporters are once again calling for urgent action to address the clear structural problems within the club.
"We demand full transparency from the board regarding its repeated failure to back the manager and reinvest our money into the playing squad.
"We also demand accountability: what course of action will be taken to ensure such a collective failure does not happen again?
"In addition, we highlight once more the club's lack of a coherent fan engagement strategy and call for a progressive, innovative approach to working with supporters.
"Our questions for Michael Nicholson, Chris McKay, Peter Lawwell and Dermot Desmond are:
- What is the club's long-term footballing strategy, and when and how will this be communicated to supporters?
- Why has there been no investment in critical positions despite repeated pleas from the manager, obvious weaknesses in the squad and calls from supporters?
- What accountability measures are in place for repeated failures in transfer dealings?
- How do you intend to modernise the club's structure to compete in Europe, and why are we consistently unprepared for qualification stages?
- When will supporters receive the results of the 'fan survey' conducted over a year ago, and why have these not yet been released despite being in the club's possession for several months?
- Why have the results of the Fairhurst Inquiry not been made public, and what action will the club take to protect supporters from unlawful and disproportionate policing in the future?
- Why does the club continue to resist working with supporters to improve matchday atmosphere, supporter experience and consultation on key issues such as ticket pricing and distribution?
"It has now been years since any form of meaningful communication between the Celtic board and supporters.
"For clarity, this means clear, open and transparent dialogue across the support, and not confined to carefully selected representatives behind closed doors.
"Fans have repeatedly demanded positive engagement and repeatedly been ignored - the time for silence is over."
