Their contempt for Celtic supporters is well known and long established.
Unintentionally Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay reinforced the view that they are are out of touch as the Premier Sports cameras dropped in on the Directors Box at Firhill.
Clearly uncomfortable the two men who drain around £1.5m a year from Celtic, close to £30,000 a week were viewed uncomfortably pretending that they were engaged with their mobile phones!
Their full 2024/2025 salaries should be published in the next few weeks.
Such is their awkwardness that they could have been texting each other knowing that the cameras could be on them as Celtic fans held up small posters demanding their removal, as well as that of absentee Chairman Peter Lawwell.
The board ignoring the fans… Proving the protesters point!

McKay shows impressive one handed texting skills with a coffee held in the other, a skill that Nicholson has yet to acquire.
After almost a decade hiding inside Celtic Park Nicholson is clearly deeply uncomfortable under any sort of scrutiny. He might get away with a ‘penalty to Rangers’ gag at the AGM but yesterday there was a very different audience to the elderly happy-clappers that attend every November for tea and biscuits.
On Saturday there won’t be live TV coverage of the home match against Hibs but a substantial majority of the 60,000 inside Celtic Park will be hard for the undynamic duo to ignore.
Tomorrow the gravy train takes off to Belgrade with less likelihood of the local TV cameras lingering in the Directors Box.
Classic passive-aggressive response. “Protest? I didn’t see any protest, I was reading something about polar bears on instagram.”
Pity that they weren’t so fuckin ‘mobile’ when it came to realeasing funds for Brendan in July and August !
Probably still working hard to get some freebie transfers in the door now that paying for them isn’t an option.
