CELTIC STAR MAKES 3 DEMANDS — REFUSES TO EXTEND CONTRACT IF CLUB DOESN’T ACCEPT!

CELTIC STAR MAKES 3 DEMANDS — REFUSES TO EXTEND CONTRACT IF CLUB DOESN’T ACCEPT!

Inside the explosive standoff shaking Celtic Park to its core

Celtic Park has seen drama. It has seen glory, heartbreak, miracle comebacks, and unforgettable European nights. But what is happening right now behind the scenes might be one of the biggest internal shocks in recent club history.

Because, according to sources close to the dressing room, a massive rift has emerged between Celtic and one of its most beloved players — a player whose influence stretches far beyond the pitch. And today, that rift has erupted into public view after the star delivered a final ultimatum:

Meet my three demands… or I walk away.

No extensions. No negotiations. No second thoughts.

A contract saga that was expected to be straightforward has suddenly become a volcanic eruption, threatening to destabilize the entire club at the worst possible time.

And the craziest part?
The three demands he made have left supporters shocked, divided, emotional, and unsure whether the club or the player is actually right.

This is the full story…

THE BOMBSHELL THAT ROCKED THE BOARDROOM

It reportedly happened during a private meeting scheduled to finalize the early stages of his extension. What the board expected to be a routine discussion turned into a tense, two-hour confrontation.

A senior official described the atmosphere as “something we haven’t seen in years.”

The player came in calm, confident, and deadly clear about what he wanted.

> “If Celtic wants my commitment, then Celtic must show me commitment too.”

Those were reportedly his exact words.

Then he laid down the list.
Three demands.
No negotiation.
No compromise.

And he made it clear:
“I will not sign unless all three are met.”

The board was stunned.

Fans have been buzzing all day, but what exactly did he ask for?
Here’s the full breakdown — and why each demand is sparking a different kind of controversy.

—

DEMAND 1: A MASSIVE TRANSFER OVERHAUL

His first demand?
Nothing less than a complete transformation of Celtic’s recruitment strategy.

He reportedly told the club:

> “We are Celtic. We should not be afraid to sign players who can compete at the highest level.”

In short, he wants:

Higher-quality signings

Faster recruitment

More ambitious spending

Immediate reinforcement in at least three key positions

He believes Celtic has become too “careful,” too “safe,” and too “predictable.”

To him, the team is close to being great — but still stuck one step below where they should be. And for him to commit long-term, he wants evidence that Celtic is ready to attack Europe and dominate domestically with real firepower.

Some fans agree with him fully.
Others think he is demanding too much.

But there’s no denying it — this demand has put the board under extreme pressure.

—

DEMAND 2: A GUARANTEED ROLE IN THE CLUB’S FUTURE PROJECT

Money?
Playing time?
No — this second demand is bigger and deeper.

The star reportedly wants full clarity on Celtic’s long-term vision and a promise that he will be central to that project. Not just a squad player. Not just another name.

He wants:

A leadership role

A guarantee of being part of the club’s European ambition

Influence on the direction of the squad

Input into tactical evolution and style of play

What he is asking for is symbolic power — something Celtic seldom hands out.

He wants to be more than a player.
He wants to be a pillar.

To him, Celtic’s future should not be shaped behind closed doors by people who “don’t step on the pitch.” He believes experienced players — especially those committed to the club — deserve a seat at the table.

This is the most controversial of the three demands.
Some say it’s “bold leadership.”
Others say he is “overreaching.”

But from his perspective?

> “If you want me to stay, let me help you build something worthy of staying for.”

Powerful words — and impossible to ignore.

—

DEMAND 3: A CONTRACT THAT REFLECTS HIS TRUE VALUE

This is the one fans expected.
But the details are not what anyone imagined.

He isn’t just asking for money.
He wants a contract that:

Places him among the top earners

Reflects his impact on and off the pitch

Includes performance bonuses

Gives him long-term stability

And ensures he is respected as a Celtic icon, not just a statistic

The part that surprised the board most?
He didn’t demand a record-breaking salary.

Instead, he made it clear:

> “Respect is more important to me than numbers.”

But the club has been cautious.
Too cautious, in his opinion.

He feels he has carried the team through major moments.
He feels he has sacrificed enough.
He feels he deserves acknowledgment — not just applause.

—

THE BOARD’S REACTION — PURE SILENCE

According to sources, the room went quiet after he finished listing his terms.

The board has always prided itself on keeping wages sustainable, building gradually, and avoiding risks. But this situation is different. This is not a fringe player.

This is a star.
A leader.
A fan favourite.
A player whose exit would send a message Celtic does not want to send.

Still — the board did not immediately accept.
They did not reject either.
And that silence has now turned into a storm outside the club walls.

—

THE SUPPORTERS’ RESPONSE — CHAOS, EMOTION & DIVISION

Social media exploded within hours.

Some fans say:

“He’s right — the club needs ambition.”

“If Celtic wants to grow, they must keep their best players.”

“He’s only saying what we’ve been saying for years.”

Others are furious:

“No player is bigger than Celtic.”

“He cannot dictate the entire club structure.”

“Demands like this are dangerous.”

And many simply fear the worst:

“If he leaves, the squad collapses.”

“This will affect morale.”

“Europe will be impossible without him.”

Celtic Park hasn’t seen a contract debate this emotional in years.

—

**THE MOST SHOCKING PART?

THE STAR IS READY TO WALK — AND HE MEANS IT**

According to insiders, he is fully prepared to let his contract run out.
He will leave for free if necessary.
He will not sign unless the three demands are met in full.

No halfway deals.
No last-minute persuasion.
No compromise.

This is not a bluff.
This is a stand.

A stand for:

ambition,

respect,

and a future he believes Celtic deserves.

Whether the board sees it the same way is another question entirely.

—

WHAT HAPPENS NOW? THE CLUB FACES A CROSSROAD

Celtic has two choices:

OPTION 1: Accept the demands

This could:

Elevate the club’s ambition

Transform the squad

Inspire players

Win the fans

Keep their star

And change the club’s trajectory for years

OPTION 2: Refuse the demands

This risks:

Losing a star

Losing morale

Losing credibility

And sending a message that Celtic is not ready to grow

It is one of the biggest decisions the board has faced in the last decade.

—

THE FINAL WORD — A STORY FAR FROM OVER

This is only the beginning.

The player is firm.
The board is silent.
The fans are divided.
And the future of Celtic hangs in the balance.

Will the club bend?
Will the star stay?
Will Celtic transform or fall into another cycle of conservative decisions?

One thing is certain:

This is not just a contract negotiation — this is a civil war of ambition, loyalty, power, and vision for Celtic’s future.

And the world is watching.
