Since January 5 Brian Wilson has been banging on about bringing unity to Celtic Park.
Typical of a Labour politician he has failed to deliver. Talk is cheap, and pointless coming from someone as cynical and insincere as the Interim Chairman of Celtic.
WILSON STALLS AND DELAYS
Wilson has been on a box ticking exercise of making statements and holding meetings about meetings. Time drifts by with nothing happening.
At a meeting with the Celtic fans Collective on February 18 the interim Chairman admitted that he had no authority to make any decision. Towards the end of the meeting a clearly bored Wilson started doodling.
Six days earlier Wilson held a meeting with the Green Brigade to discuss their four month suspension. Since that meeting communication has been one way as last night’s Tweet revealed.
Green Brigade update re Suspension:
– approaching 30 games banned over 18 weeks
– met CFC 3 weeks ago, with no update from CFC since
– meeting confirmed for 9th March
– CFC won’t share details of outstanding concerns in advance of meeting pic.twitter.com/184QHaNga6— North Curve Celtic (@NCCeltic) March 6, 2026
Wilson’s last plea for unity was on February 20, the fourth since the club finally decided to sack Wilfried Nancy.
As a Non Executive Director Wilson is expected to apply checks and balance. To ensure best practice.
Over the last five years he has been on mute over the horrific appointments of Michael Nicholson, Mark Lawwell, Paul Tisdale and Nancy.
Nicholson spoke in June 2023 of being world class in everything that Celtic do. It would be impossible to make four worst appointments than those listed above.
On Monday Wilson will be expected to lift the suspension on the 25 Green Brigade members. Anything less will be failure, time wasting.
If Wilson doesn’t have authority to lift the suspension there is no point in Monday’s meeting.
Being a politician he is likely to offer to lift the suspension with unbearable conditions attached.
Celtic have nine more SPFL matches to play, five of them at home starting on April 14 against Motherwell.
The team has been handicapped since November by order of Michael Nicholson.
After 21 years on board Monday offers Wilson the chance to make his first ever positive contribution to Celtic.

Just another compliant stooge working for Fritzl
The GB do bring atmosphere and it could only be helpful in the run in, if there are any advantages of having them there, they should be utilised by the club, it’s a no brainer.
But I also hope when they return that they have had time to reflect and realise that they don’t speak for all Celtic fans, I’m sure there is a large proportion that do agree with their actions, but there is an equal proportion that do not.
Bring the noise, bring the spectacle cos that’s what it should be all about, not about the GB itself, which is what a lot of fans think is the problem.
Editor: The Green Brigade comment for themselves, no one else. They don’t speak for Celtic fans in general, they don’t speak for the Collective. Their comments are on social media only.
Ha!
That often showed photo above – Wilson, Nicholson, McKay – is truly dreadful.
Their body language reflects the Board’s current position?
Positive, energetic, dynamic, fully engaged / focused, happy, etc… ?
No.
Negative, tired, defeated, disengaged / distracted, miserable, etc…?
Yes.
🙁
This is about their rights Bhoy4life. They have paid up front for their attendance and a blanket ban was imposed on them. So far Celtic have kept that money, which they had no right to and means, when they settle up for this, Celtic owe them interest. This is very disturbing and it looks as if Celtic really are Establishment and believe that fans are an inferior lot.
Celtic should have had a meeting with them before they were banned and proper discussion taken place then to clarify things. As far as I am concerned, I am astonished at the hypocrisy lack of intelligence or humanity, as well as over the top responses made by this board. This was a missed opportunity to help to encourage the GB rather than punish.
The whole board need cleaned out as they are NOT FOT FOR PURPOSE. They do not wish for unity – they want total control and will not listen.
Lastly, thanks again to Joe for keeping his finger on the pulse. We should know what our politicians are like in general by this time, but Labour are particularly offensive by deserting their historical principles.
Great comment, Pan. I think, as I’ve done for a very long time that there is NO POINT in discussion with the current board. We’re illegitimately run by an Irish, golfing leech and him and the whole board need to be chased, nay hunted, out of CP.
The legal, peaceful method to ‘hunt’ them, as they deserve to be, is by picketing the front entrance to CP and outside every one of their homes, from Dublin on and never forgetting Lawwell, the puppet-master for the, now, Dublin-based creep.
We didn’t force our place in the ‘Dear Green Place’ by sitting at the back of the bus, we had enough Rebels then. We still do. Rebels then, Rebels now, Rebels FOREVER, or until we’ve no need to be Rebels at all.
Dermor desmond…the creeps creep..an auld rat of a man who is no friend of celtics
Talking to these fuckpigs does’nt seem to be working .
We need to be one and fu**in all for the last nine (hopefully eleven though I doubt that) games !
Draw Your Own Conclusions
Brian Wilson thinks he’s a combination of Banksy, a Roadman and Tommy Shelby. His gang of Weedy Blunderers Michael Nicholson, Mark Lawwell, Paul Tisdale and Nancy frequent the Garngad Inn, with the Louvre Baroque again there was a bit of a pen and ink with no urinal pineapple cubism present. Feeling the need not to expressionist himself, without any dilly Dali it was time to face what looked like a Maze prison cell school of art mosaic. Being a graffiti artist, he delved into his man bag and started spraying Picasso up the walls as high as the cistern Chapel ceiling, soaking his Jackson Pollock’s in the process. Brian just Matisse’d out on coating his fellow con artists in Watercolour and painting over their cracks.
It was now time to paint the town red and go canvasing. Trying to sell draw in his end is part of the street culture his party like to endorse. Wilson hides an eraser inside the peak of his flat cap in case a voter wrongly crosses the line, he’ll mark their card with a 2B or not 2B.
Wilson won’t be a shoulder to crayon, he’s nailed his colours to the mast. Drawing from experience the meetings are pointless just like the blunt tip of his pencil. He’ll try to paint the Collective in a bad light, it might not be palatable to the attendees, he’ll call the Green Brigade yellow. Minimalism is his style, he’ll fill the time doing a still-life self portrait from the window reflection. It may seem like Art failure, but be careful not to criticise or get into an argument, the riposte will be don’t use that tone with me, it’s a pigment of your imagination, that’s his way of giving you the brush off. For the design being, one coat is put on before everybody gets the picture, it’s past his bedtime, then it’s decided to call it a draw. Until next time!
