A BLIGHT ON OUR GAME
I have to agree with Alex here. If The Celtic Star didn’t highlight this 12 years on we could all just imagine it happened like the Rangers wish it to be remembered. A bit like ‘relegation’ or ‘dropped down the leagues’ no-one does revisionism quite like that lot. Masters of their art. The copper – who avoided brain damage by clinging on to the chin strap of his helmet for dear life – can rest assured his daily headaches, linked to the swelling of his brain and near death experience, only reoccur because The Celtic Star peddle obvious propaganda. Shame on this website, a blight on our game.

SUFFERING ANTI-SCOTTISH ABUSE IN MANCHESTER
I was living down there at the time they rioted in Manchester. The abuse I received for weeks due to me being Scottish was unreal. There were others though that acknowledged that there is always good banter when Celtic come calling.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE BLAME GAME
Their cheating which lead to the death of Rangers – Celtics fault. Causing mayhem down in Manchester -English fans fault . Sectarianism in Scotland – Its the Catholic schools fault. But you’ll notice when they’ve nowhere else to go they always throw in a child abuse slur the way Alex did there.

When they were down in the bottom leagues, did you notice in the Scottish Premiership there was no sectarianism. No bigotry. No violence at games. The other clubs were making profits. All without the “blue” pound. Since they have came back up it’s been getting worse, year on year. But it cant be there fault of course.

No wonder the Rangers manager fits in so well at that club. It’s not our/my fault but always someone who is out to get you. There was a time when Celtic fans were called paranoid but they have taken it to another level. How you can even argue against the facts is , well it’s just expected. Theres a reason why Rangers were punished and you don’t need the English media to find out.

THE LAST WORD – “A PERMANENT EMBARRASSMENT AND AN OCCASIONAL DISGRACE’
There were significant crowd problems at Ibrox in 1973 and 1975 but it was a Rangers’ fans riot in Birmingham in 1976 in a ‘friendly’ with Aston Villa, which provoked the biggest media storm. In general Rangers’ expressions of disapproval and condemnation of ‘certain sections’ of their support, which had followed earlier outbreaks, were seen as irrelevant and now the Glasgow press severely criticised the club.
The press detailed the Rangers’ fans riots in Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Barcelona and now Birmingham, along with minor skirmishes elsewhere, and condemned the club. The general tone is revealed by Ian Archer in the Glasgow Herald, who stated :
“This has to be said about Rangers as a Scottish Football club they are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. This country would be a better place if Rangers did not exist”.
