Celtic Turmoil: Rangers Could Go Top as Boardroom Anger Meets a Season at Breaking Point

Phillip Cooney argues that Celtic is facing a crisis as the Scottish Premiership resumes following three consecutive defeats, including two against Rangers. With Rangers playing Kilmarnock on Saturday, a win would move them above Celtic ahead of Celtic's Sunday match against Motherwell at Fir Park. Cooney highlights growing frustration among supporters toward the club's board following poor European exits against LASK and Ferencváros.

Cooney contends that the divide between the board and fans has reached unprecedented levels, pointing to late summer transfers and uncertainty surrounding manager Martin O'Neill. He calls for majority shareholder Dermot Desmond to demonstrate greater accountability regarding his son Ross Desmond's influence at the club. Cooney concludes that structural change is essential to resolve Celtic's ongoing issues.
