    Quite a few clubs do it to be honest. It's not a scam because they do say virtual, but you are essentially buying a certificate. I'm also sure some people will like it.

    I feel like this would be great as a fundraiser for the Celtic foundation but it's not (not fully anyway).

    It's basically a donation to charity with some bells and whistles.

    That's awful.

    Has a very crypto/NFT scam feel to it. Terrible look for the club.

    Promoting a shady nft is a terrible look and it you read the small print you only “own” it for 1 or 2 years. Just ask for donations instead of this lol

    “Your decision to become an owner of a ‘Piece of Paradise’ would reflect your deep passion for Celtic Football Club.”

    Genuinely something you would expect to read from the huns when they are trying to fleece their fans. I’d say ploughing however many thousands into Celtic over the years has showed my deep passion.

    The foundation only gets a pound from every sale.

    It would be like me renting you Timmy the invisible Celtic Unicorn. You give me money for a certificate to prove you own him, and then after a year or two you no longer own him. Or you give me more money to keep him.

    And because I want to create demand selling literally nothing, I will limit the number of invisible unicorns I am willing to sell.

    Without any exaggeration whatsoever this is what Celtic are doing here but replace 'invisible unicorn' with 'virtual (that is invisible) grass'. It's ludicrous.

    ...but if anyone is keen on timmy unicorns let me know....
