The Celtic Fans Collective came roaring back into action on Thursday.
Almost four weeks on from winning the Scottish Cup it is very clear that absolutely nothing has changed.
If anything a domestic double and maintained Season Ticket sales will have convinced Dermot Desmond of what a great job he is doing.
Recent events say otherwise.
Martin O’Neill has said nothing on club channels about becoming permanent manager.
There is no word on his assistants, it is widely reported that Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham have been offered significant pay cuts to continue.
CELTIC BOARD- PUSHING THINGS TOO FAR
Capping it all yesterday there was another blatant cash grab by the club.
A drab washed out Adidas shirt has been dressed up as another tribute to the Lisbon Lions.
It is nothing of the sort. It is tired and overpriced, much like members of the Celtic board.
The Lisbon Lions is nothing more than a marketing ploy. Fortunately more fans are seeing straight through it.

Desmond has followed up those pledges with absolutely nothing. Cheap soundbites with no intention of doing anything or even communicating to those anti-establishment fans.
Since the aborted AGM Ross and his Daddy have said nothing to the Celtic support.

Chairman Wilson goes through the motions.
Once a month he provides a bland video update to fawning Gerry McCulloch on Celtic TV. It is as earnest and sincere as the manifesto pledges of a Labour MP.
EXECUTIVE MESSAGING
Wilson’s only passions in life are protecting and supporting the Act of Union and his cherished O** F***. Wilson penned the incredible obituary to Walter Smith published in the Guardian.
Every Saturday in The Scotsman he shares his anger and criticism of the SNP. The party of Government for Scotland and Glasgow.
Surprise, surprise Celtic will kick-off the new season with a Monday 7.30pm kick-off in their defence of the SPFL title.
‘Interim’ Chairman Wilson has been meeting fan groups to tick the box of ‘fan engagement’.
At a meeting on February 18 he had no knowledge of the promise from Michael Nicholson to set up a Fan Advisory Board. He didn’t know who had taken the decision to ban fan media. Or the reasons for that decision.
Wilson did promise a follow up meeting with the Collective within a month. That was on February 18, on June 18 the Collective are still waiting to hear from the former Labour MP.
Last season it took the Kairat KO and a horrific transfer window to activate the Collective. It looks like they are ready and prepared for an early start as Nicholson, Wilson and the Desmond’s prepare for more of the same.
