Protests planned by the Celtic support have been postponed, it has been confirmed.
Fans were planning to stage a silent protest for the first 29 minutes of tomorrow night's Europa League home clash against Braga, refusing to enter the stadium until that minute.
After previously snubbing the chance to meet with club chiefs, the Celtic Fans Collective has now confirmed they will indeed sit down with them next Monday to discuss the running of the club.
As a result, they have postponed planned protests in good faith and in anticipation of "full and honest communication from the club."
A statement said: "This evening, Celtic fan organisations received an invitation from Celtic FC to attend a meeting with the club on Monday 6th October to discuss ongoing concerns about the running of the club.

"In conjunction with the Celtic Fans Collective, supporter organisations have accepted this invitation. Celtic FC’s representatives will include Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay.
"We welcome the club’s decision to meet and engage directly on the issues raised. However, we remain under no illusions about the scale of change still required at board level.
"As a result of this development, the planned continuation of the “3-match silence” has been postponed, in good faith, in the hope and expectation that supporters will now receive full and honest communication from the club.
"We thank every supporter who has stood behind this campaign and helped bring the Celtic board to the table. Without this unity, it would not have been possible. It highlights the strength and influence of a united Celtic support.
"The Celtic Fans Collective will continue its campaign irrespective of the outcome of this meeting, with the clear aim of securing meaningful, positive change for the betterment of Celtic Football Club and its supporters."
