The Celtic board have only infuriated fans further as tensions continue to build at the Scottish champions.
Celtic supporter groups wrote to the club’s board demanding answers, transparency and accountability for their “failure to back the manager.”
Supporters groups were issued a response in a club statement which has been slammed for not answering any of the questions posed to the board.
There are fears Brendan Rodgers could leave Celtic for a second time with Nottingham Forest a possible destination, whilst Daizen Maeda revealed after the transfer window closed that he was stopped from leaving the club over the summer.

Football Insider Verdict
A season which was supposed to see further progress on the pitch at Celtic is turning out to be a nightmare for supporters.
Celtic supporters could boycott Europa League fixtures and protest at matches, whilst Maeda looks set for an exit at the next opportunity and Rodgers could walk after not being backed in the transfer market.
Fans want action from the Celtic board to address the issues in the transfer window, with more urgency to sign players as soon as possible.

Ambition to succeed in Europe is also something fans, and Rodgers, want to see more evidence of.
Kelechi Iheanacho was seen as a panic signing by many after the window had already closed after Kasper Dolberg decided against a move to Glasgow.
Winning the Scottish Premiership is not seen as enough, but current circumstances mean domestic success looks to be all Celtic will achieve this season.
