A full-scale crisis has erupted at Celtic Park following a damaging derby defeat to Rangers. Anger among supporters spilled over immediately after the final whistle, with large numbers leaving the stadium early to protest against the club’s board.
Thousands gathered at the front entrance of Celtic Park, calling for sweeping changes at the top of the club. Chants were directed at majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, while tensions rose further when some corporate guests were seen watching and reacting from inside the stadium. The situation escalated as supporters attempted to push past police, leading to confrontations outside the ground.
The protest is the latest flashpoint in a season-long breakdown in relations between fans and the club hierarchy.
Former chairman Peter Lawwell previously stepped down after sustained abuse, and the Green Brigade remain banned amid an ongoing dispute.
The defeat has intensified pressure on manager Wilfried Nancy, with frustration also aimed at CEO Michael Nicholson and other board members during the match itself.
