Celtic interim chairman Brian Wilson says he wants to end an atmosphere of conflict between the club and its supporters. The statement follows fan protests during a Europa League match on Thursday night. Wilson described the current situation as unnecessary and debilitating for the Scottish champions. According to BBC Sport, the club board fears potential disciplinary action from UEFA after supporters displayed unauthorised banners during the fixture.
The interim chairman promised the board would continue seeking a resolution to the ongoing tensions. Relations between the club leadership and sections of the fan base have remained strained throughout the current campaign. Wilson took over the interim role following the departure of Peter Lawwell earlier this month. The club has not specified the exact nature of the protests, but reports indicate the demonstration targeted board policies. Celtic officials are now awaiting communication from European football governing bodies regarding the incidents. The club hopes to stabilise internal relations before its upcoming domestic league fixtures.
