Raging Celtic fans hurl tennis balls and oranges onto the pitch as they delay start of game at Dundee with furious protest against the board


Celtic fans launched a fierce protest against their club’s owners – by throwing tennis balls and oranges onto the pitch.

The Scottish champions were forced to endure a three-minute delay to the start of their match against Dundee on Sunday.

Hoops fans have been angry with their owners in recent months after a lack of spending in the summer window and a failure to reach the Champions League league phase. 

In September, supporters staged a late entry to their match away at Kilmarnock.

Manager Brendan Rodgers said at the time: ‘You can’t tell anyone how to feel.

‘If you’re bringing your kids and you want them to be in the stands for the start of the game, then supporters are within their rights.

‘We’re keen to make the football united and the spirit of the team. The fans and the board and the situation, I fully understand it and the frustration.’
