Celtic have released tickets for Saturday’s match against Middlesbrough on General Sale!
Season Ticket holders have voted with their wallets as they follow the Not Another Penny mantra set up last season.
The top tier for three sides of the stadium is closed.
So far only tickets to the North and South Stands have been bought by home supporters.
In contrast Middlesbrough have taken an allocation of 10,000 tickets.
The atmosphere on Saturday should be a cross between Last Night at the Proms and a Reform Party Conference.
All of this is by the design of the Celtic board. Led by CEO Michael Nicholson and Interim Chairman Brian Wilson.
Their attempts to undermine Brendan Rodgers backfired spectacularly.
The Irishman resigned in October, Wilfried Nancy was brought in for 33 days either side of stints from Martin O’Neill.
There are strong signs that Celtic fans are quickly tiring of O’Neill’s After Dinner approach to communications.

CELTIC AND THEIR LAUGHABLE ATTEMPT AT PROMOTING THE CLUB
The three line hard sell on the club website is as underwhelming as a night out with Nicholson and Wilson:
The Hoops are back at Paradise this weekend as they take on Middlesbrough at Celtic Park on Saturday, July 18 (KO: 3pm).
Kim Hellberg will bring his Boro team to the home of the Scottish Champions as the EFL Championship side visit for the Bhoys’ first run-out of the season at home.
Digital tickets are available online now, so secure your seat before the 2026/27 season officially kicks off. It’s the perfect day out for the whole family – don’t miss out!
Three lines.
No mention of Martin O’Neill, welcoming home the double winners or the excitement over signing Camilo Duran.
The Colombian is in for a huge surprise on Saturday after being sold on tales about the incredible Celtic support.
Fans are sickened by the contempt shown by the club. And the obedient manner in which the board follow the demands from a distant golf course.
No real attempt has been made to change anything inside the club from last season. It seems that winning the double has convinced Nicholson that he actually knows something about football.
Wilson’s last Supporter Update was on June 11 when he enthused over O’Neill’s appointment.
Another update is overdue, or he could just do a Nicholson and go into hiding, saying nothing as well as doing nothing.
This is just another example of how the Board’s behaviour is negatively affecting the club.
The Board has zero goodwill left: the majority [?] of the support want them all gone.
It used to be pre-season friendlies in a relaxed, summertime atmosphere, when the new
signings were introduced to the support in a glorified training game.
I would normally go to the pre-season games with family,
but have no appetite for them currently.
Of course, it shouldn’t be like that, at all. 🙁
Wonder if the lazy useless bastards have bothered their arses to have the stadium cleaned for the start of the new season? By all accounts they didn’t last season.
Desmond and his parasites once more showing their contempt for the fans.
They really think the Celtic supporters are shit on their shoe, regardless of the fact that the fans finance the whole shitshow.
At this rate we are in for one of the worst seasons in years.
Desmond appears to be losing it, time he and his parasites were gone.
Any action we take just results in more inaction from him.
The Tash will just dig in for the long haul like all other narcissists do, they don’t have feelings like normal people.
Just in the door again and once more Martin is wading through treacle, as if the upcoming campaigns are not enough he will be tiring already of trying to fight those supposed to be facilitating our upturn and readiness for the CL Qualifiers.
It’s a sair fecht right enough.
Selling Middlesbrough as “a glamour friendly” really is trying to put lipstick on a pig. In the horrific event that England beat Argentina in the semi final this game will be the day before the World Cup Final…. Think I might give the car a good wash and polish that afternoon.
I think l might just find myself on a golf course somewhere on Saturday.
If not l’ll be sat in front of the telly watching The Open in preference to events in G40 !
I might even have wee punt on the winner of the Claret Jug with the money l will have saved on a ticket to watch a meaningless kick about that used to be free on the season books,along with a Euro qualifier and league Cup game.
The Celtic board………World class in pissing off their own fanbase.
