ian1964 10,417 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Celtic official statement FOLLOWING events on Friday evening at Fir Park Stadium, Celtic Football Club today announced that it has issued precautionary suspensions against 128 individuals preventing them attending matches involving Celtic, pending further investigation. These suspensions will cover matches at Celtic Park and away matches. In addition, the Club will be relocating around 250 season book holders in Section 111 to other areas within the stadium, or offering refunds covering the remainder of the season to those who do not wish to be relocated. Events such as those on Friday night do not represent the Celtic support or the Club. These events were an embarrassment to our great football club and are absolutely indefensible. It is clear that there is an element which has no hesitation in bringing Celtic’s name into disrepute. This is something the Club will not tolerate and we therefore have no other option but to take this action. We will not allow the great name of Celtic to be damaged in this way any more - our supporters deserve more than this. While recent events are very regrettable, we would like to thank our many thousands of fans for the wonderful, positive backing which they continue to give to Celtic. We are sure these supporters will understand the position which the Club is in and we are also sure they will unite with the Club as we move forward. Celtic Football Club is in excellent shape on and off the field. The Club is in a very safe and strong position and we have a young, exciting team working hard to deliver quality football and success for our supporters, as they did on Friday evening with a magnificent performance. This is what we want to be talking about and this is what we want to celebrate. Celtic has a proud 125-year history and fundamental to that history have been our fans. Our supporters enjoy a wonderful reputation earned across many years, many families and many generations. This is something we must protect vigorously. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,260 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 By continually ignoring and denying the existence of militant Irish republicanism within their support Celt@c perhaps unintentionally created a monster called the green brigade which is turning to destroy them.Despite today's actions these people will not go away as they see Celt@c as their stage to show their militant Irish Republicanism. Liewell is terrified of these people and cannot and will not be able to remove them on a permanent basis. The fun has just begun. Let's sit back and watch this vile club unravel in the months and maybe years ahead.Who knows their Irish identity may destroy them once and for all. Here's hoping. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Celtic and Motherwell are studying CCTV images to see if culprits can be pinpointed and prosecuted, but lack of direct action on the night will hamper their hopes of issuing banning orders. What on earth is that about? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
