The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson is facing renewed backlash from supporters following the publication of the club's July 2026 accounts. The financial report revealed that Celtic experienced a drop of nearly £11m in cash reserves, falling from £77.3m to £66.4m. In a club statement accompanying the figures, Nicholson reiterated the board's full backing for manager Martin O'Neill despite poor recent performances.

The criticism comes amid on-pitch struggles, including back-to-back Glasgow derby defeats and a Champions League elimination where Celtic surrendered a four-goal aggregate lead heading into the second leg.
