Ex-SPFL Star Offers Strong Defence of Celtic Fan Protests

Former Rangers player Richard Foster defended Celtic supporters protesting against principal shareholder Dermot Desmond, arguing they have every right to challenge how the club is run. Speaking on STV Radio, Foster rejected claims that the fans are entitled, explaining their frustration stems from a lack of European progress and marquee signings rather than domestic trophy counts.

The discussion followed an incident at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews, where protesters threw tennis balls at Desmond's green. Celtic responded with a scathing statement condemning the protest and cutting ties with the Celtic Fans Collective, while the group labeled Desmond thin-skinned and reaffirmed their financial boycott campaign.
