Celtic fans are demanding that Lord Ian Livingston be removed from the club's board of directors after he voted in favour of cutting tax credits.
The former UK Government Minister for Trade and Investment toed the Tory line and backed George Osborne's tax credit cuts, which would hit the poorest families the hardest.
Livingston backed the proposal even after it became clear that certain party peers would be voting against it.
Unsurprisingly, fans of the Glasgow club are not happy given Cetlic's history as a club for "the children and the unemployed".

A petition has been set up, demanding that Livingston be removed from his post, saying: 'On Monday the 26th of October 2015, Lord Ian Livingston voted in favour of cutting tax credits for some of the poorest families in the UK.
'Lord Livingston sits on the board of directors of Celtic Football Club. A club which was formed to help feed the poor in the east end of Glasgow. This work continues today with the ongoing efforts of the Celtic Foundation.
'We find it hypocritical that Lord Livingston is considered a part of this club and wish him to be removed from the board of directors.'
The Celtic Trust have begun a campaign to block Livingston's re-election at the next AGM.
