Chris Sutton claims the Celtic board have recently achieved a 'remarkable feat' in managing to unite the club's entire fan base against them.
There is major unrest among the Parkhead faithful following a poorly handled summer transfer window and another failed Champions League qualification campaign.
The supporters plan to stage a '12 Minutes Without The 12th Man' protest at Rugby Park this weekend to make their feelings clear.

When is Brendan Rodgers' pre-Kilmarnock vs Celtic press conference?
"They’ve managed to unite an entire fan base.
"That’s good going when you have a support the size of Celtic’s. They’ve succeeded in p***ing off all of them.
"The summer transfer window was a slow moving train wreck plenty of us – including the manager and club captain – were warned well in advance.
"But last weekend’s haughty and ill-judged statement on the back of the muck being thrown around with Brendan Rodgers has proved to be the straw that’s broken the camel’s back."
The Bhoys take on Kilmarnock this Sunday. North Curve Celtic issued details of their planned protest at the start of the match last night.
"At Sunday's match v Kilmarnock, Celtic's 12th man will enter the stand on the 12th minute to remind the Celtic FC board that it exists," the group wrote.
"This bold visual and vocal protest, follows the recent Open Letter signed by 420 signatories, which the board has failed to respond to; and a consultation meeting with these signatories.
"As a collective of fans, we wish no detriment to the team but believe necessary steps must be taken to demonstrate our discontent and remind the board that 'football is nothing without fans.
"Once we enter the stand, the team will receive vociferous backing."
