It’s a very important initiative, I’m delighted to be part of it, so whatever is required I’m willing to give up my time to maybe help in a little way to make things better and to be part of a group of Celtic fans that might have a voice going forward and be able to give their thoughts to the club. “Again, that word unity, everybody just wants the same thing at Celtic. Everybody’s got different opinions but the key thing is that come a Saturday, they’re all there together getting behind the team and supporting them.
