NafisaThe Celtic Fans Collective have delivered another message aimed at the club’s hierarchy following the unveiling of the new Lisbon Lions anniversary home kit.
Not long after Celtic revealed the 2026/27 home strip, the group shared a graphic on X featuring chief executive Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay wearing the new shirt alongside the words: “New Hoops. Same Board. Not Another Penny.”
The message underlines that the campaign against the current leadership is not easing off despite the anniversary kit release.
The new strip marks 60 years since the Lisbon Lions became the first British side to win the European Cup. For many supporters, that moment remains one of the most cherished parts of their connection to Celtic.
But sections of the fanbase continue to draw a line between the club’s history and those currently in charge.
The “Not Another Penny” campaign has been running for several months, with the Celtic Fans Collective urging supporters to refrain from spending money on club merchandise and official products until they see changes behind the scenes.
This latest post directly targeted Nicholson and McKay, who some supporters feel have overseen a downturn over the last 18 months in areas both on and off the pitch.
That frustration extends beyond results alone.
Supporters involved in the campaign have repeatedly pointed to recruitment concerns, broader decision-making at executive level, communication with fans, and the direction of the club since Ange Postecoglou’s departure.
The timing of the post also stood out because of how heavily the home kit itself leans into nostalgia and club history.
For some fans, the Lisbon anniversary shirt is a celebration of Celtic at their peak. For others, it highlights how far they believe the club has drifted from that standard in recent years.
The reaction online has reflected that divide.
Some supporters simply want to focus on the football and the title race still unfolding. Others view every major club release as another opportunity to push for wider change.
That tension continues to hang over much of the conversation around Celtic right now, even during what should have been a straightforward anniversary kit unveiling.
