Celtic season ticket renewal announcement

At long last, the club have announced the details for season ticket renewals which is hopefully nothing like last campaign and fans can get into Celtic Park first and foremost.

Although, the manner of the tweet was eh.....something. But then haven’t Celtic been quite surreal for the last fourteen months anyway ?

If you get past the mortifying announcement style, the update reads:

Celtic’s Season Ticket holders during the past year have shown tremendous commitment to the Club, standing by us during a pandemic which has changed all our lives, supporting the Club at a time we needed you most – this is something we will always remember and will always be hugely appreciative of.

We are truly sorry you have not been able to join us at Celtic Park and sorry we have not been able to deliver the further success which your support has deserved. We understand how difficult this year has been for you and understand the disappointment you have felt, it is something shared by us all at the Club.

We had hoped to have announced the Manager before providing this update, and we do intend to finalise the appointment of the next Celtic Manager shortly, however we have been encouraged by the recent announcement of crowds at sporting events across Scotland this summer.

Whilst we cannot guarantee any supporter return to Celtic Park at this stage, with our first home match of the new season being on Saturday, July 17, we must now begin the renewal process to allow us to prepare for a phased and safe return for our supporters.

Thank You - Celtic delivers £50 gift voucher to each and every Season Ticket holder

Across our history, our success has been earned and our reputation built on the shared belief that together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. We are proud to be One Club, since 1888.

As a thank you to our Season Ticket holders and in recognition of your phenomenal commitment during such a difficult year, the Club is pleased to announce that each and every Season Ticket holder from last season will receive a £50 retail gift voucher.

We are encouraged by the recent announcement of crowds at sporting events across Scotland this summer including at Hampden, Murrayfield and on Glasgow Green. Celtic has been at the forefront of the effort to get our supporters back with us and now as we return to normality we are preparing to welcome you home to Celtic Park.

Our Club was born in adversity, raised in defiance and defined by no other. With our own standards and own values – we always have been and always will be a Club open to all. Now we have a real chance to start afresh, to work together and once again create a Club built for the future, a Club built to last.

Thank you for your fantastic support. It is greatly appreciated and we will do all we can to bring back success.

The support have one burning question from that announcement and it’s fair enough, simply, WHY have we went ahead with this before getting a manager in the door ?

It’s now over 90 days since Lennon left the managerial position and still, we haven’t permanently appointed a replacement. I’d like to think it’s been smoothly handled behind the scenes but this is Celtic and the reality is, the opposite of that is probably a more realistic scenario.

Yet again, there’s rumblings that it’ll be Friday or Monday for an appointment, but once more, who can predict a thing at Celtic right now when what should have been a positive and engaging piece of news today turned into yet another PR disaster.

If anything, at least we’ve been consistent on that front!
