A number of prominent fans have blasted a potential appointment of Bernard Higgins info a senior security role at Celtic. The Green Brigade, Bhoys, Celtic Shared, The Celtic Trust and North Curve Celtic signed the statement that went out across social media, criticising the pending appointment.
Higgins was Assistant Chief Constable and repeatedly came under fire during his tenure in the role due to the treatment of football fans. The legislation was flawed and its subsequent repeal highlighted the enormous amount of injustices that were transpiring. Celtic fans across social media have united against the potential appointment. It will be interesting to see how this pans out over the next few weeks.
Higgins is currently deployed dealing with COP26 so it would be expected that any decision to appoint the ACC will be delayed until the end of November, at least.
Celtic recently advertised a Safety Officer role at the stadium. It would be wise for the club to cast their net wider than Scotland in the hunt for a new senior security advisor as the minefield of appointing Higgins could be tough for the Board to navigate.
