Celtic Owner Desmond Targeted by Fan Protest at Golf Tournament

Celtic's principal shareholder, Dermot Desmond, was the subject of a fan protest during the Alfred Dunhill Links golf tournament at St Andrews. Supporters threw tennis balls towards Desmond as he participated in the pro-am event on the 15th hole, leading to his escort off the course by security.

The incident occurred amidst fan criticism regarding the club's perceived lack of progress on the pitch. Celtic Football Club issued a statement condemning the protest, stating that it "brought shame upon the club." The demonstration highlights ongoing tensions between a segment of the fanbase and the club's ownership.
