Celtic Says It Will Ban Fans Involved in Protest at Dunhill Links Championship
The club said the group’s actions were unacceptable and warned that supporters could face bans if the protests continue.
- Celtic Football Club severed all engagement with the Celtic Fans Collective after protesters disrupted the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Saturday, targeting Chairman Dermot Desmond in what the club described as a 'significant and unacceptable escalation.'
- Committee minutes revealed the group planned the protest in advance, agreeing to use Collective funds for materials including tennis balls featuring images of Desmond, which were lobbed at St Andrews during his golf competition.
- Celtic stated supporters may disagree with the Board, but cannot 'repeatedly disrupt events, intimidate individuals or seek to coerce the Club,' while confirming it will protect employees, directors, and shareholders.
- Individuals involved in planning or participating will face indefinite bans from Celtic Park, following a pattern of disruptive incidents including earlier this year's Stuttgart fixture.
- Maintaining that 'the reputation of Celtic Football Club is non negotiable,' the club said it will continue engaging supporters through established channels, asserting this decision protects rather than diminishes meaningful engagement.
