Green Brigade lead second vote of no confidence in Celtic board

A post on the North Curve Celtic page slaughtered the "condescending and unsigned statement" posted by Celtic chiefs on Saturday evening.

The correspondence, posted at around 9pm on Saturday, cited UEFA regulations and the leaking of transfer details when addressing fan outrage over the lack of business during the summer window.

Club officials had met with representatives of the Celtic Supporters Association, the Affiliation of Registered Celtic Supporters’ Clubs and the Association of Irish Celtic Supporters’ Clubs on Friday ahead of the public statement.

However, the Celtic Supporters Association revealed a vote of no confidence had been issued to the Celtic board on Sunday.

A spokesperson said: "Following on from our meeting on Friday with Michael Nicholson and other representatives of Celtic Football Club, we convened a meeting today of our member branches to give a report on the aforementioned meeting.

"The member branches were dissatisfied with the answer’s to our questions, and as a consequence have decided to place a vote of no confidence on the Board of Celtic Football Club."

A statement on North Curve Celtic confirmed a second vote of no confidence following the CSA action.

It read: "On Saturday 6th September, at 8.52pm, Celtic FC released a condescending and unsigned statement which failed to address the concerns raised in an Open Letter which has amassed 378 signatories representing tens of thousands of Celtic fans worldwide.

"Today, Sunday 7th September, the Celtic Supporters Association has issued a vote of 'no confidence' in the Celtic board. The CSA has also endorsed the Open Letter.

"Bhoys Celtic, Green Brigade, North Curve Celtic and The Celtic Trust also issue a vote of 'no confidence' in the Celtic board. While it is our expectation that the majority of the Open Letter signatories would also endorse this vote, we are unable to add them without consent.

"To this end, we are in process of arranging a consultation meeting of all signatories to the Open Letter to discuss and agree next steps. Arrangements for the meeting will be communicated to all signatories as soon as possible.

"While we firmly believe further escalatory actions are necessary, we are committed to building fully engaged, inclusive and democratic fan movement which acts on the consensus of the fans within it. We are conscious that there are many individual fans not currently represented and part of the consultation will involve how we navigate this."
