Rangers took the decision to ban Celtic fans from last month’s Glasgow Derby after receiving intel that Celtic supporters group Bhoys Celtic had bought tickets. The Ibrox side refused to engage the additional security and when Celtic refused this, quite properly citing it being a requirement by the home side, all tickets were cancelled.
Bhoys Celtic have confirmed that they will donate the refunds from the Women’s Glasgow Derby clash to a worthy cause. The ticket money will now bet donated on Rangers’ behalf to erect a statute in honour of Bobby Sands MP in is hometown of Twinbrook.
The decision will no doubt ruffle some feathers at Ibrox, who are in this situation owing to their own bitterness and unwillingness to let the women’s game thrive. Elsewhere, there is still no word on whether there will be any Celtic fans at Ibrox for the game between the sides at the beginning of April. There had been speculation that Rangers had offered 2500 tickets but chatter has died down regarding this and a source close to the club has said that no such offer has been made.
It is likely that there will be no Celtic fans at Ibrox and no Rangers fans when the sides meet after the split.
The only reason for the existence of this situation is because the Ibrox club are a bigoted, racist, dark and evil institution. They encourage division as it is a means of funding which otherwise would be minimal. Why do the authorities let them off with it? Perhaps because they are in sympathy with their views?
