The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

Where's Angelo?

Probably staying away from this thread due to the strange rise in twats clamouring to congratulate Rangers.

As I said before I'd understand if they're hoping Celtic get beat by Aberdeen or Hibs or someone but why in the world would you want Rangers to win. They literally have one of the biggest sc**bag supporters in European football. And I'm not talking about the usual scumbags that Celtic have too, I'm talking about that hooligan element that has a good relationship with the likes of the Chelsea headhunters. The same crowd destroyed half of Manchester City centre.

So what proportion do you reckon are usual scumbags, and what proportion hooligan?
I guess that leaves the remainder, what group would they fall into?
There must be a category of supporters that are ordinary decent people, not be a wee bit happy for them?
A day in the sun against the covid backdrop following the 10 year rise from ground zero, there must be kids and oldies and everything inbetween that got a great buzz off it, is it really that big of a crutch?

A day in the sun? They blatantly broke lockdown regulations by gathering in crowds. That's before we get onto the abhorrent incidents all over Glasgow and beyond.

Metaphorically speaking / fact check - not sure where it was or wasn't sunny when any Rangers fans gathered to celebrate

Anyway aside from that, say families who observed all lockdown rules, I'm sure we can relate to the joy they are feeling in a sporting victory and its ok to reflect positively on their joy, would that be agreeable?

They go beyond hooligan. They are the lowest of the low. Utter pondlife.
Can't understand how anyone on a GAA forum would want to congratulate them. Beggars belief.

Two sides of the one coin. It's a rivalry based completely on Sectarianism. Both clubs pay lip service to trying to deal with it. Look at the Green Brigade and their Bobby Sands stunt. And on top of all that the football that they produce is unwatchable.

Absolutely. There's mostly genuine decent fans on both sides. But even on this thread you get the occasional naked sectarian comment and not an eyelid is batted. There seems to be some sort of justification that the other side are much worse so what we do is fine (and I'm sure you'd get a similar false justification on a Rangers supporters thread).

I only know one genuine Rangers die-hard fan. A Glaswegian engineer who married an Irish girl and moved over here. Great bloke and our sons played football and hurling together for a while. When I see him again I'll be gladly offering him congratulations.

I work with a couple of rangers fans. They're diehards and have been hurting. While it hurts me that they won the league and how spectacularly we imploded, I offered those boys congratulations. I hate rangers. The club and institution. But that doesn't mean I hate the fans as individuals

Why would you feel the need to congratulate them?
What transpired at the weekend is exactly what we knew would happen. Carnage.
I know several Rangers fans and have no time passing the time of day and taking the piss and having the piss taken but I don't see the need to congratulate them.

Why would I not? And what has what happened at the weekend got to do with them? They weren't there.
Yeah, we take the mick out of each other but do offer congratulations also

Congratulations my hole.

[Louther]

What's the Celtic tweet/official statement about?

A dig at Rangers/New Rangers or whatever you see them as?

Would they not be as well keeping their mouths closed and do talking on field.

Rangers social media no better at times.

Was it not their problem when the hordes were congregating at Celtic Park baying for Lenny's blood?

BBC News - Nicola Sturgeon 'cannot turn a blind eye' to Rangers crowds

Best bits - Rangers are disappointed at the strong criticism coming from the Government & Police Scotland & They're at a loss as to what they could have done to stop the celebrations.

Totally the same situation right enough. Did Celtic sit on their hands, smirk, secretly love it and egg it on? No, they condemned it

[Milltown Row2]

It's a good thing Celtic didn't do the 10 in a row, would have been carnage

What else were they going to do when their fans were attacking their own team's bus!

Glasgow would have been razed to the ground!!
