Celtic SLO John Paul Taylor has taken to Twitter to rubbish the Daily Mail headline that claimed that Celtic fans attempted to storm McDiarmid Park and fought with Police. A group of fans gathered around the embankment towards Tesco, allowing them to watch the game and cheer on the team.
After the Scottish Government’s decision to effectively put games behind closed doors, what would have been a sell-out Celtic end were forced to watch on screens. Although, The Bhoys were in fine voice despite being accused of attempting to break into the stadium. Police were present but there were no issues with the small gathering.
However, John Paul Taylor moved to clarify the situation insisting that the reports from Sunday were wrong.
The games on Boxing Day are usually a special occasion in the Scottish footballing calendar but after the recent Scottish Government announcement, just 500 supporters were present in Perth. As a result of this latest curb to football fans, ten out of twelve clubs voted to bring forward the Winter Break to the 27th, meaning fixtures would go ahead on Boxing Day – albeit with limited numbers in grounds.
