It wasn’t a ticket ‘row’ it was just confirmation that Celtic were right…
The governing body of the Scottish Premiership has had their say on the decision by Celtic to withhold an away allocation for the upcoming Glasgow Derby until their restrictions relating to the Union Bears is accepted by the latest Ibrox club, and as expected they have agreed wholeheartedly with the champions on their sensible stance.
Celtic never banned the Rangers supporters
Celtic never banned the Rangers supporters, despite the contrary narrative peddled by the Scottish mainstream media, they just correctly asked for the gang of hooligans know as the Union Bears to be denied the opportunity of attending, due to their thuggish behaviour in the last Derby clash at Ibrox after the home side crashed out on spot kicks.
The so called ‘ultras’ caused mayhem by marauding onto the pitch in the games conclusion, and attacked a member of the Celtic staff, as well as dishing out violence to stewards and Police officers as they veered towards Celtic supporters who were also the target of their violent intentions.
Celtic quite rightly don’t want this unruly mob present in our stadium, and set the Ibrox club a clear ultimatum, which they instantly turned down as they stood by their thuggish supporters.
An outcry of the usual paranoia
This in turn led to an outcry of the usual paranoia from the Rangers supporters and the SMSM who of course happily twisted the narrative in favour of the Ibrox club, as they tried to apply pressure on the powers that be at the SPFL.
Unfortunately for them it didn’t work out as they hoped, and the decision made quite rightly agreed with Celtic on the matter. But was there really going to be any other outcome? Celtic were quite right to take the stance that they did after all.
It wasn’t a ticket ‘row’ as peddled by the SMSM and their many lackeys. It was just Celtic Football Club standing their ground and looking out for the safety of their own staff and supporters. This list of violence from these fans has grown without anything sort of punishment being imposed by the Rangers board.
Charmed life of troublemakers
That charmed life for these troublemakers has now ended. Rangers cannot appeal the decision and are now busy selling their tickets. No doubt some of these tickets will find their way to these ultras and it will be interesting to see if they are allowed entry.
We mentioned that legislation should be introduced by the Scottish Government after next week’s election to ban the wearing of face masks at football matches and that hopefully will happen.
Yesterday’s decision was merely confirmation that Celtic were well within their rights and right all along on this one.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
