The Celtic Fans Collective have released a new statement ahead of the final run of games, asking supporters to hold off on renewing their season tickets until the latest possible date.
It comes as attention turns fully to the pitch. With six league matches left and the title still within reach, the focus has shifted back to getting behind the team through a tight run-in.
The return of the Green Brigade is expected to lift the atmosphere at Celtic Park, starting with the visit of St Mirren. There’s a clear push for the crowd to play its part as the pressure builds.
At the same time, the Collective have made it clear their concerns haven’t disappeared. The message tries to strike a balance between backing the players and keeping pressure on the board.

A Celtic Fans Collective statement read: “This week’s announcement of the imminent return of the Green Brigade to Celtic Park promises to lift the stadium on Saturday against St Mirren, and with six league games left we all need to come together and get fully behind the team to help drive them over the line in the title race. Given the position the team is in and the importance of retaining our championship, matchday protests and actions have been scaled back. We acknowledge that the shared focus of supporters for now must be on backing the players in these final weeks.
However, that does not mean the wider issues at the club have gone away. The failures of recent transfer windows, disastrous managerial and football department appointments, and the mistreatment and dismissal of supporters over the course of the season means that change is still needed within our club.
It remains our firm belief that Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay should be removed from their positions and replaced with suitable professionals willing to stand up to the presumed authority of Dermot Desmond and his family.
With season book renewals to be released in the coming weeks, we are asking supporters to withhold their renewals until the final day possible. This is a simple way to send a clear message to the current custodians of Celtic Football Club that fan anger over this season is not limited to a small minority. A huge swathe of the support has had enough and is demanding change.
We urge all fans to loudly and colourfully back the team as they push for the title and the Scottish Cup, but also to use their renewal to send a message the board that change is necessary.”
The timing of it says a lot about where things are. Celtic are still chasing, and games at this stage don’t give you time to settle. The crowd can make a difference, especially at home when the tempo needs to be high.
That’s why the message leans the way it does. Back the team now, deal with everything else after. It’s a familiar approach when there’s something still on the line.
Holding off on renewals is a different kind of pressure. It doesn’t touch what happens on the pitch, but it keeps attention on decisions made off it.
For the players, the job is clear. They need results against teams who will test them in different ways, whether that’s sitting in at Celtic Park or breaking quickly away from home.
The noise around the club is still there. It hasn’t gone away, it’s just been pushed into the background while the football takes priority.
I agree sometimes things don’t work out well this season has been a nightmare even if we win the double it’s has been a hard watch the football has been really poor and it has to be better next season and the only way for this to happen is for there to be a clean out of dead wood and that means Board & Players I have seen most games this seasons and it’s a brutal watch get this sorted or some support may not renew next season and maybe we won’t blame then !
