Celtic support Rainbow Laces campaign…
On behalf of Celtic Football Club, captain Callum McGregor has backed this year’s Rainbow Laces campaign.
This year’s campaign aims to unite everyone who cares about sport and fitness to create a world where every LGBTQ+ person can thrive wherever they train, play or watch sport. “Celtic will always be open to everyone. The Rainbow Laces campaign aims to make sport everybody’s game and that, of course, really is a great message,” the Celtic captain stated.
“The initiative once again addresses a very important issue in society which needs to be tackled and, therefore, we are delighted to once again offer our wholehearted support,” Calmac added.
Callum will wear the captain’s rainbow armband with pride this Sunday, 12 December as Celtic take on Motherwell at Celtic Park as part of the clubs’s support for this year’s campaign.

Some of the early comments from Celtic Supporters at this initiative by the club: “Class but expected”…”Fantastic”…”Class”…”Well done”…”Superb”…is the general gist of this. Hopefully all the other Cinch Premiership sides will add their own support this weekend for the Rainbow Laces campaign.
“Same Bridge. Different Culture,” – Pride message from Celtic, one club open to all since 1888…
A week after the Ibrox racist bigots marched through Glasgow City Centre chanting the racist Famine Song there was another march, that wasn’t about hatred but was instead all above love and respect…
Perhaps it was the contrast between the mindsets of those marching through the same bridge the previous Sunday, “different cultures” indeed. Celtic as the club usually does, acknowledged the hugely popular Pride procession through the city centre in early September, going along Argyle Street and for a while using the same route that the black-shirted racists used less than a week earlier.
“One Club open to all since 1888. Happy Pride to all of our supporters celebrating in Glasgow,” was the simple, sincere and uncontroversial message from the club. Your race, your religion, whether you have one or not or your sexuality makes no difference to Celtic, a club that since its conception has always been open to all.
“Proud of my club, proud of my daughter, proud to be part of the Celtic family,” Des Donnelly noted.
“Proud of my club for posting this and supporting the Pride celebrations,” Derrick Wright added.
“Proud of my club for this tweet. A club for all!” said Chris Duffy.
“Total respect to my club,” Vertigo29 stated.
“Well done Celtic, love is love,” Peter Walsh said.

I noticed the now annual pride march in Glasgow yesterday. The persecution of gay people was a great historical injustice. A way to go on the tolerance front yet but thankfully we live in more enlightened times. pic.twitter.com/Fdx9sCpVZT
