Celtic Fans Plan Silent Protest at Braga Over Ticket Prices

Celtic fans, led by the newly formed Celtic Fans Collective, are escalating their protests against the club's board due to ongoing frustrations over poor communication and perceived mismanagement. Following a 12-minute silent protest in a recent match, supporters plan a 29-minute silence during the Europa League game against Braga, symbolizing the 29 days of silence from the board in response to fan concerns. Fans are also protesting high ticket prices, which they believe are making football unaffordable, with coordinated actions involving rival supporter groups at Celtic Park. Despite these efforts, some commentators doubt the effectiveness of the protests, suggesting the silence might negatively affect the team's performance during crucial European fixtures. The protests highlight wider dissatisfaction with the club's transfer policies, defensive issues, and a lack of meaningful engagement from executives like CEO Michael Nicholson. Overall, the situation reflects deepening tensions between the Celtic fanbase and the club's hierarchy, with supporters demanding significant changes.
