00:00There's obviously the off-the-pitch stuff at Rugby Park to consider a section of the Celtic fans. There still was some inside the ground when the game kicked off, but a section had formed a protest, certainly going by paraphrasing a wee bit, but it's a 12-man protest, a section of the more vocal part of the support coming in on the 12th minute in protest against the board.
00:26There was various banners throughout the game. It stems from a lot of stuff in the international break where votes of no confidence were put into the club by a range of different fan groups, the Green Brigade, one of them.
00:41What was that atmosphere like inside the stadium? I know watching from home, I maybe expected slightly less fans to act.
00:50There were more fans in the stadium than I possibly thought there would be. It looked like if it was a provincial club, say, Dundee, Dundee United, Mullowell, that bracket, a club, you'd have went, oh, that's a decent away following from them.
01:04Obviously, Celtic Park out that full stand, so he did notice it, but it did seem like certainly some fans had bought into it, some fans hadn't.
01:13Yeah, I think the majority of fans that decided to take up their seats were kind of understanding of those who opted to remain on the concourse of the away stand until the 12th minute.
01:31Obviously, to stress that, of course, Celtic's 12th man, personally thought the protest was a bit of a damp squib, to be honest.
01:42I was expecting a bit more kind of reaction to when the fans did opt to come into the ground and take up their seats.
01:51It was all kind of rather low-key, you know, chants of, you know, sack the board and, you know, asking for Peter Lawwell and Cole to leave their positions.
02:06It was, to be honest, Ben, as I said, it was kind of a bit of a damp squib in my view.
02:13I think, obviously, most of the supporters' groups felt it was kind of a necessary step they needed to take to demonstrate their discontent.
02:24And, you know, it's not going to be the first time, is it?
02:28I'd imagine that they'll continue to do that over the next couple of games.
02:33Obviously, I think the situation, at the end of the day, will the Celtic boards, you know,
02:43resign from their roles.
02:45It's not going to happen.
02:46It's not going to happen.
02:47So some kind of resolution is going to have to be found.
02:51I'm not too sure how they're going to go about that.
02:55You know, Brendan Rodgers doesn't even know that himself.
02:58He just kind of agrees that it's for the best interest of the football clubs,
03:02that everyone kind of unites as one and focuses again on the football going forward.
03:08But, you know, never have we seen both Glasgow clubs, for that matter,
03:17be in such a kind of disarray behind the scenes at this moment in time.
03:22So I'm standing here with only brothers and sisters and sisters.
