Some Celtic fans have been fuming at the club after a post involving their handling of small businesses caught their attention.
A Celtic fan with the name recently posted on Twitter. She said that the Hoops have ‘demanded’ a removal of 27 fan art pieces from her online shop. The post criticised the Hoops and stretched into a whole thread about how the club isn’t doing the right thing by ‘clamping down’ on small businesses.
One of the tweets in the thread also said that the club earns from fan creativity ‘when they fancy it’ and this approach from big businesses ‘stinks’.
Many Celtic fans reacted to this. They made it clear that what the club is doing isn’t the right thing.
Really disappointed to hear that. Incredibly petty and unnecessary.

Is this a disgraceful move from Celtic?
Yes, it is petty
No, it is the right thing
Disappointing this!

This the exact reason I am taking my season ticket refunds. The actual people that run the club are all business.

Well I say it’s time for fans to get together and make the club put a stop to this as soon as possible!

Pretty poor. The timing especially. Got your Ntcham tee, top quality. Hope something can be worked out.

Poor show. Out of interest, what are you allowed/not allowed to do? Assume use of club badge is outlawed, player / stadium images?

Unbelievable. This highlights the the club’s misunderstanding of the fans, further alienating them. I’m really sorry that has happened.

What do we think?
Many Celtic fans don’t seem to have liked this move from the club. One fan even says that he is looking for a refund of his season ticket money and that shows how unhappy the fans are about this.
