Some Celtic fans have been fuming at a news update involving Ann Budge that emerged on social media recently.
It was recently reported by the Scottish Sun that the Hearts owner is ‘expected’ to propose a 14-team Premiership reconstruction plan. It was said that this plan will be proposed to fellow chairmen and this could set up a reconstruction vote next year.
The Scottish Sun relayed this information on Twitter. Many Celtic fans flocked to this post and made their displeasure for Budge very clear.
Getting desperate now Ann

Do you want the Premiership to be reconstructed this season?
I'd like that
Never, it shouldn't happen
What is the clause, increase to 16 next year when they are bottom again.
Get them sent down, last for a reason, rotten.— Craig W (@whiteside1970) May 25, 2020
Imagine a woman who’s ran her own club into the ground deciding how our whole league should be run?
Terrifying.
Any club that goes along with her deserves everything they get.

I said this months ago that she was an utter embarrassment to their club and got a few Jambos trying to defend her I wonder what they think now ? There’s only one person that’s got the club into the situation it’s in and it’s HER #Clueless

Budge had previously made it clear that she was ‘angry’ at how the SPFL had decided to end the leagues below the Premiership. The Premiership was eventually cancelled last week and it was confirmed that Hearts were relegated from the top flight.
What do we think?
Celtic fans don’t seem to like what Budge is trying with the reconstruction of the Premiership. Some even feel that she is doing that to make sure that Hearts don’t get relegated.
But considering how the club was four points behind 11th-placed Hamilton in the table, they probably deserve to get relegated. With Celtic assured of their title, it seems that the fans are enjoying the luxury of laughing at Hearts’ misfortune and their attempts to remain a top-flight side through league reconstruction.
