Celtic’s ‘Che Guevaras’ should show their fellow fans some respect at this year’s AGM

Matthew Lindsay argues that militant Celtic supporters need to respect fellow fans and prioritize constructive scrutiny over disruptive protests at the club's upcoming AGM on Tuesday, December 1. The piece highlights growing tensions between fans and the board, noting that principal shareholder Dermot Desmond has not attended an AGM since 2006 and is not expected to appear this year.

Tensions escalated after around 25 masked protesters confronted chief executive Michael Nicholson, manager Martin O'Neill, and other executives at a Greenock Supporters' Club event. Citing previous AGM disruptions and appeals from the Celtic Fans Collective, Lindsay maintains that shouting down board members prevents shareholders from gaining answers about recruitment, governance, and club strategy.
