McAvennie Slams Celtic Boycott — But What Choice Do Fans Have?

Former Celtic forward Frank McAvennie has criticized the Green Brigade's decision to boycott matches, arguing that staying away from Celtic Park amounts to going against the team. Conversely, pundit Chris Sutton has defended fans who feel a boycott is their only viable way to protest club leadership, highlighting a growing division in opinion.

Vital Football columnist Philip Cooney argues that while the team genuinely misses the Green Brigade's atmosphere on matchdays, demanding alternative forms of protest ignores the lack of effective options available to ordinary supporters. The column notes that while financial boycotts impact club revenue, fans feel pushed into drastic measures to make their concerns heard by majority shareholder Dermot Desmond.
