Dermot Desmond has broken his cover after the transfer window as he appeared alongside Rory McIlroy during a Pro-Am round at The K-Club.
The major Celtic shareholder was pictured ahead of the Irish Open as he walked the course with McIlroy on Wednesday morning.
Desmond's appearance comes after he was targeted by supporters over a lack of transfer activity for Celtic during the summer window.
The Green Brigade made their feelings clear over the transfer business as an image of banners against Desmond, Michael Nicholson and Peter Lawwell was shared online.
The Affiliation of Celtic Supporters Clubs then demanded answers over the summer window.
A statement read: "The Affiliation of Celtic Supporters Clubs wishes to express growing concern over the club’s current trajectory and apparent lack of ambition – particularly the failure to strengthen the squad ahead of this season’s crucial UEFA Champions League qualifiers, despite robust financial results.
"This concern has been echoed not only by supporters but also by manager Brendan Rodgers and club captain Callum McGregor.

"The recurring failure to adequately prepare for key European fixtures has become a troubling pattern, raising serious questions about the club’s strategy, planning, and competitive priorities.
"We call on CEO Michael Nicholson to provide a clear and direct explanation to supporters and shareholders – outlining the club’s long-term vision, its commitment to genuine footballing ambition, and the rationale behind the lack of visible progress in this summer’s transfer window.
"At a time when decisive leadership is needed, continued silence only deepens frustration.
"Celtic’s support demands transparency, accountability, and a plan that reflects both the aspirations of our fanbase and the full potential of Celtic Football Club.
"These concerns have been further compounded by the disarray witnessed on the final evening of the transfer window."
Chris Sutton branded the summer window as the "most remarkable of all time" as he insisted Celtic have come out of it weaker.
He posted on social media: "The most remarkable window of all time. Celtic have come out of it weaker!
"At least Celtic are doing everything they can for there to be a title race this season...
"Going into a season with great expectation and excitement after a few weeks the feeling now is utter deflation."
