A prominent Celtic support group has released a statement, signalling its "concerns" regarding the club's summer activity so far.
The Celtic Fans Collective (CFC) was established last year, almost immediately following the club's shortcomings, both on and off the pitch.

Now, on the same day as the SPFL announcing fixtures for the 2026/27 season, the support group has voiced its concerns in a lengthy statement, while also calling on the boycott of club merchandise to continue.
In full on social media, the statement said, "Celtic should not be entering another summer waiting for the transfer window to happen to them.
"More than six months after the departure of Paul Tisdale, the club still has no permanent Head of Football Operations. We continue with an interim Chair, uncertainty surrounding the CEO's long-term position, and no confirmation of Martin O'Neill's backroom staff despite their role in delivering last season's league title. Other members of the coaching setup also appear to be on the verge of leaving.
"These issues matter when supporters are looking for evidence that this summer will be different. Instead, the lack of clarity at senior level raises legitimate concerns. The squad requires strengthening, and recruitment should already be well advanced. Celtic cannot afford another transfer window defined by delays, reactive decision-making and last-minute gambles.

"For a club that spent much of last season promising better communication, the continued silence is equally disappointing. Once again, this week's messaging has centred on merchandise launches rather than providing supporters with meaningful updates on Club matters.
"Fans were assured that lessons had been learned and engagement would improve, but there has been little evidence of that so far. The 'Not Another Penny' campaign therefore remains in place until meaningful change is delivered.
"In the coming days, we will share quotes from senior figures at the Club outlining the commitments that were made to supporters. The ongoing lack of progress on all fronts is frustrating.
"This summer cannot become a repeat of last year. Supporters are not looking for conflict with the Club - we are looking for commitments to be honoured and for Celtic to be led with professionalism, ambition and urgency."
