Manager Brendan Rodgers is urging the Celtic hierarchy and supporters’ groups to sort out their differences for the “longer term” benefit of the club.
Another protest from fans was planned for Thursday’s first home Europa League match of the season against Braga but has since been cancelled.
The Celtic Fans Collective group say they have been invited to a meeting on 6 October to discuss “ongoing concerns about the running of the club”.
Having lost out to Kairat Almaty in Champions League qualifying, Celtic opened Uefa’s second tier tournament with a 1-1 draw away to Red Star Belgrade.
Another draw followed at the weekend, with Hibernian holding the Premiership champions to a goalless stalemate in Glasgow.
“I suppose my message is probably for the longer term,” said Rodgers of the current unrest. “Hopefully both parties can sit down and respect the differences and find a solution so that we can all pull together again.
“That’s what’s always key for Celtic. Until that happens I need to manage the team to maximise what we can get out of the players .The team will be very focused on getting the results that the club want.
“I really hope the stadium is full as this is an incredible club with a history based around the supporters,” he added. “Obviously Celtic Park is renowned for its atmosphere and what it can do to the opponents.”
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel agreed, making the plea “we need you” to the Celtic fanbase.
“We have the most incredible fans and whether it’s the Champions League, the Scottish league or the Europa League, when we line up I always look at the opposition bench to see their reaction and that always tells me that this place is special,” said the experienced Denmark international.
“I’ve played in a lot of places, a lot of stadiums, and there’s nothing quite like this.
“So for us as players, it’s something we definitely don’t take for granted. For me personally, the career I’ve had, there is nothing more motivating than coming out onto this pitch here, with a full stadium with that noise.
“I completely understand the fans’ frustration, I completely understand them wanting to voice their opinions, but we also need you. That would be my message.”
