Celtic transfer frustrations aired in Green Brigade reminder

The Green Brigade have once again made their feelings clear on the make-up of Celtic's boardroom.

As the clock struck 11pm, the Scottish Premiership champions have yet to announced any incomings on deadline day.

Adam Idah departed for £6m as he headed to Swansea City on a permanent transfer, while Stephen Welsh joined Motherwell on loan.

Sebastian Tounekti was confirmed after the deadline, with the move completed prior to 11pm.

However, the Hoops tried, and failed, to secure the services of Kasper Dolberg, who instead opted for Ajax. 

Celts also saw loan offers for David Fofana collapse. They then opted to pull the plug on a temporary deal for Burnley’s Manuel Benson when Yang's Birmingham switch was called off.

To top a chaotic day off, late on tonight it emerged that Kelechi Iheanacho was a target. Brendan Rodgers previously worked with the 28-year-old at Leicester City. 

However, the ex-Manchester City player has hardly set the heather alight at neither Sevilla, or Middlesborough, where he spent the second half of last season on loan having knocked back a move to Glasgow to turn out for the Hoops then.

And it appears that the Green Brigade have had enough.

They have simply posted an image of their protest against the board from the game at Ibrox. 

This depicts majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, chairman Peter Lawwell and chief executive Michael Nicholson with a red circle around their heads, with a strike through them to indicate their time is up.

It comes after chants of 'sack the board' could be heard at recent Celtic matches, none more so than the 0-0 draw at home to Kairat Almaty in the Champions League play-off first leg.

The Hoops of course conspired to exit the competition before the league phase, and will instead play  in the Europa League this season.
