DUNDEE, Scotland (AP) – Sunday’s Celtic game at Dundee was quickly abandoned after kick-off when away fans threw tennis balls and oranges onto the field in protest of the club’s hierarchy. <\/p>\n

Players and staff from both teams helped clear the debris before Scottish Premiership action resumed at Dens Park, but defending champions Celtic lost 2-0. It was Celtic’s first loss to Dundee since 1988, leaving them five points behind leaders Hearts.<\/p>\n

Away fans chanted and held banners calling for Celtic’s chief executive Michael Nicholson and chairman Peter Lawwell to be “dismissed by the board”.<\/p>\n

Fans are furious at the club’s early exit from the Champions League and what they describe as an “outdated transfer strategy”.<\/p>\n

A group called the Celtic Fans Collective has launched a campaign called ‘Not Another Penny’, calling on fans to boycott club merchandise, stadium tours, club-sponsored events and refuse to buy food and drink at Celtic Park stadium. <\/p>\n

The campaign will be reviewed in February. <\/p>\n
