A number of Celtic fans were left appalled after observing the actions of the club’s chief financial officer, Chris McKay, during the match against Braga at Celtic Park.
The Hoops faced Braga in a Europa League clash and suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat, with goals from Ricardo Horta and Gabri Martinez securing the victory for the Portuguese side. Despite the disappointing result, McKay’s behavior in the directors’ box raised eyebrows among supporters.
During the match, a camera captured McKay seated alongside Celtic CEO Michael Nicholson and chairman Peter Lawwell in the directors’ box. At one point, all three men were engrossed in their phones while Celtic was trailing 1-0. McKay was seen chuckling at his phone, drawing attention to his seemingly lighthearted attitude despite the team’s struggles on the pitch.
The incident did not sit well with fans, who took to social media to express their disapproval. Many fans questioned McKay’s behavior and speculated about the nature of their communications during the match. Some fans criticized the trio for appearing indifferent to the team’s performance, with one supporter highlighting the lack of leadership shown by those in top positions at the club.
The reaction from fans reflected their disappointment and frustration towards McKay’s actions, emphasizing the disconnect between the supporters and the club’s leadership during a crucial match.
