Rod Stewart has joined the ranks of Celtic fans worried about the lack of signings made by Celtic.
Eight weeks after the Scottish Cup Final and 16 days before the SPFL opener the hoops have added one player to last season’s squad.
Camilo Duran has certainly impressed with two goals in friendly matches.
Over the last 24 hours Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi have announced that they won’t be back.
Maik Nawrocki moved to French side Lens on Friday.
Martin O’Neill has placed his confidence in Michael Nicholson and Dermot Desmond to bring in new signings.
Stewart, along with thousands of fans across social media is among those less than convinced.
In 1995 he opened the North Stand and was given a seat in the Directors Box in return.
THE POWER AND REACH OF ROD STEWART
His protest may seem trivial to some but with 1.7m followers on Instagram his message reaches far and wide.
In contrast Celtic have 1.1m followers.
Stewart’s Instagram post may, just may be the sort of item that causes some concern and questions inside the Celtic boardroom.
Last season a poor transfer window and Champions League exit to Kairat Almaty kicked off nine months of chaos.
The Celtic Fans Collective was formed in September. Brendan Rodgers resigned in October with the AGM ended after less than an hour in November.
That was before the 33 day reign of Wilfied Nancy and another return shift for O’Neill.
As well as the SPFL opener on August 3 the clock is racing towards the Champions League Play Off.
On August 18/19 and 25/26 Celtic will be seeded with a £40m reward for the winner.
Today Celtic drew 1-1 today in a friendly against Middlesbrough with Duran equalising after 32 minutes.
The hoops now have just one more friendly before the competitive action gets underway.
World Cup players are back in training but with Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels expected to leave new faces are urgently required.
Unfortunately Rod’s as helpless as the rest of us when it comes to stopping the rot.
Maybe, but he has the ability to speak to individuals on the board and perhaps highlight that it’s not a yob protest.
Dont forget Desmond’s famous quote –
“If a million people told me to do something [in a body of] only a million and one, and I was the one and I didn’t feel that something was right, then I would take my own counsel.”
And –
He added that people can shout and exhort all they like, but he will not change his opinion if he believes it is the right path for the club.
What you, me, or Rod thinks matters not a jot.
The monkeys running the show in Glasgow are exactly that – Monkeys.
Been saying that for ages.
DD is a stone cold narcissist that won’t be told by anyone, never mind lacky fans.
He’s teaching us all a lesson.
What I don’t understand is, how does a minority shareholder wield so much power?
What other business the size of a football club like Celtic defers to a continually absent minority shareholder?
You genuinely wouldn’t run a corner shop like that.
No merchandise purchases till this shambolic board bring in some quality players …No more lame excuses.
Maybe Sir Rod could do a few benefit concerts in Isreal for the poor board
A freeloading parasite in the director’s box? Who would thunk it?
Hail Hail.
Awaiting moderation. Wee tory hun loving pricks.
Rod Stewart must know people with financial muscle to bring down this incompetent board.
Michael Flatley is a very obvious candidate, financial flair.and ambition a true Entrepreneur.
