Brian Wilson’s Celtic statement insults fans while dodging the failures that caused chaos

Celtic interim chairman Brian Wilson released a statement alongside the club's annual results addressing the turbulent 2025/26 campaign. Wilson praised manager Martin O'Neill, his backroom staff, and the squad for their resilience in recovering from mid-season difficulties to secure a Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double.

The statement addressed several internal challenges, describing Brendan Rodgers' departure as an unanticipated event and noting that Wilfried Nancy's tenure lasted under 40 days before decisive action was taken. Wilson also defended the club's January loan strategy while acknowledging the need to improve supporter engagement and communication.
