Celtic fans told where anger should be directed amid escalating Dermot Desmond row

Celtic supporters have been directed to focus their discontent on the right targets amid a mounting dispute with club owner Dermot Desmond. Former striker Frank McAvennie, who has been a vocal critic of Desmond and the club's management, believes the anger should not be solely aimed at the club's primary shareholder.

McAvennie, speaking on the Let Me Be Frank show, stated that the club is not planning to sell its majority stake to Glasgow businessman Willie Haughey. He argued that supporters should instead direct their frustration towards the other shareholders who continue to support Desmond. McAvennie believes targeting these individuals would have a greater impact on the situation than resorting to actions like throwing tennis balls at the stadium.

The former Hoops star emphasized that while he supports the fans' right to protest, he also thinks it's unfair to solely focus on Desmond. He urged supporters to look beyond Desmond and hold accountable those who are enabling his continued influence over the club.
