One name who leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of Celtic supporters is Michael Nicholson.
The CEO of the Hoops has faced relentless criticism and is viewed as one of the primary figures responsible for the lack of movement in the transfer market.
Nicholson was highlighted by the Celtic fans’ collective as one of the chief reasons behind their decision to organize a boycott against Dundee.
Martin O’Neill was questioned regarding his position at the club, to which the 73-year-old took the chance to issue a warning to the remainder of the board.

Discontent has intensified among the fanbase, particularly with Celtic’s directors presiding over significant financial reserves.
Five acquisitions were completed in January, yet all of them consist of loan or temporary arrangements.
O’Neill confessed that he has had no personal grievances with Nicholson, but has pressured the board to adopt a more contemporary approach or risk distancing the followers even further.
He said: “Michael has taken on this role and I don’t know how long he’s been in situ with that. I had this month working closely with him and anything we’ve tried to do, he’s tried to push forward.
That’s been really encouraging. But it’s like anything else, we as a football club, whatever we say about it – we’ve got to learn. Seriously, we’ve got to learn.
“If you’re talking about in normal dealings with people, we’ve things to do ourselves, look at ourselves. But the great thing about it from Brian Wilson’s point of view, he’s pretty keen for that to happen, which I think is overdue.
