Celtic issue scathing statement after Glasgow Derby events | OneFootball

Celtic have issued a scathing statement after events stemming from Sunday’s Glasgow Derby. The Green Brigade were a notable absence in the North Curve as Celtic were beaten by the visitors.

In a statement on Monday evening, Celtic detailed that they were reviewing the concerns raised by the GB after they were stopped by the Police, a considerable distance from the ground.

The club also highlighted the incident involving a Rangers player spraying liquid at the Celtic supporters in the Main Stand.

“Celtic Football Club has received complaints regarding the policing operation concerning yesterday’s match, specifically events away from Celtic Park.

“We are reviewing our supporters’ concerns and will be looking into these issues.

“It is important that these matters are addressed and the Club will be engaging in discussions with supporters and Police Scotland to understand the circumstances and events.

“With regards to the match at Celtic Park, we can also confirm that the Club has raised concerns regarding members of the away team engaging with Celtic supporters with the relevant authorities.”

Supporters will be looking for an update from the club in the coming days. The overreach was felt and the absence of the GB was felt in the ground. There were no issues for Rangers fans earning attendance to spout their usual repertoire of bile and set off flares.

Celtic supporters will be concerned by what happened involving the Green Brigade and with the Rangers substitute but they’ll want a reaction from the team. This is the second derby match that Celtic have been second best to a volatile Rangers side. Brendan will be pleased with the gap he holds over Rangers but not be remotely impressed with the first half performance.
