"This is the self-preservation board." Peter Martin says a number of people are amazed that the statement came out from Celtic. Call him cynical, but he thinks it was a pre-emptive strike: damage limitation ahead of the AGM, from a board that sat down and asked "how can we negotiate it to our favour?" They didn't want to speak to anybody before this, he says, and suddenly it's ahead of an AGM where they know the masses are gathering.

Was Celtic's statement a pre-emptive strike? Tell us below.
