Finally, almost six weeks after the last Glasgow Derby Celtic have been gifted the opportunity to kill off the toxic brand that is the O** F***.
Celtic players, staff and supporters were attacked at Ibrox. The players and staff on the pitch.
Tragically Celtic said nothing. Four days after the attacks Brian Wilson was interviewed for Celtic TV covering a variety of issues.
The Interim Chairman went round the houses. He welcomed an independent review of events around the match and highlighted the differences between celebration and anger.
And that was it, Wilson spoke on Thursday March 12.
There and then Celtic should have stated that due to the events that day they wouldn’t be offering or accepting any more away match tickets for that fixture.
It worked perfectly well in the past. 2, February 2022 is one of the greatest experiences for Celtic fans this century.
Now after trying to play nice with their favoured business partners Celtic are faced with two stark choices.
CELTIC BOARD- WHOSE SIDE ARE THEY ON?
Do they again roll out the red carpet to the Union Bears or do they grow a set and say no thanks, enough is definitely enough?
The second option requires minerals. So far there is zero evidence that Michael Nicholson has any. If he has he has kept it hidden for his almost five years as Celtic CEO.
Celtic doing something right for once. If their own club refuse to do anything against the dregs of their vile support then other clubs have to

Nicholson hasn’t said a word about the events of March 8 when employees were assaulted at their place of work.
Silent Mike hasn’t said a word in 2026.
On December 16 he was pouring his heart out about employees being attacked after the League Cup Final defeat to St Mirren.
Strangely enough nothing has been heard since about those incidents.
Nicholson was quick enough to ban 250 Season Ticket holders for five months for the actions of four fans on charges for which they haven’t been convinced.
The reputation of the Celtic CEO couldn’t be much lower among Celtic supporters.
He has one chance now to salvage a scrap of credibility by making it home fans only on May 10.
Anything less will simply confirm Nicholson to be the spineless suit. The O** F***advocate draining £17,000 a week maintaining Celtic’s ties to the most toxic club in world football.
Nicholson has let Celtic fans down constantly since becoming CEO, Can he finally get something right? Surely by the law of averages he has one decent decision in him, surely?
How many away fans should be at the May 10 Glasgow Derby?
2,500 Welcome bears
Allow 800 like other clubs
Zero angry bears
Nothing can change:
yet, it’s non-negotiable that we need;
– a clearout of the Board
– a quality manager ASAP
– a clearout of the squad
– the removal of the DD influence.
Will any of the above actually happen: no.
Next season it will be the same sh!t,
with a few new faces.
And no real ambition.
That’s it. 🙁
Spelling mistake highlight .. suit .
Two letters in the correct place , … but the “ s “ should be a “ c “ , the “i” should be an “n “‘
I fear that this may be the Grey Brigade posturing for season ticket renewal, but if it takes a swing at the O*F* brand then we may as well take the small wins when we can. Still supporting Not a Penny More though even if the Board came out and called the Sevco.
