Celtic Title Party – The absolute brass neck of two faced Glasgow City Council

Tomorrow is Trophy Day at Celtic Park when the entire stadium gets the chance to celebrate the Scottish Premiership title win before the Celtic support heads to Trongate and the Merchant City to have their own celebrations which Glasgow City Council want to prevent at all costs – while at the same time facilitating hate marches in the city this weekend and just about every weekend of throughout the summer.

Their actions though will only serve to strengthen the determination of these Celtic supporters to gather and before we hear anything further for the council they had a year to plan an alternative – as requested by Police Scotland – but sat on their hands and all that they have left is blaming the mess that their failures will cause on the supporters.

Cities around Europe are all staging these type of events and clubs work with them. If, heaven forbid, Aberdeen win the Scottish Cup next weekend, there will undoubtedly be an open top bus parade through the city, all with the enthusiast backing of the Aberdeen City Council.

They probably have some of these hate marches too – hatred of Roman Catholics – but nothing like on the scale Glasgow City Council allows. Apparently this one is to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, well if it had to go ahead they should be marching past the Govan shipyards because that’s were all the Rangers players were hiding during WW2.

Yesterday Glasgow City Council had the brass neck to put out this message on social media, in four instalments, digging a bigger hole for themselves with each post.

SPFL Trophy Day 1. We want supporters of every team in Glasgow to be able to celebrate their successes but ask fans – including those visiting the city – to please avoid disruptive mass gatherings at Merchant City / Trongate and other public places. 2. These events and others like them have consistently led to disorder – causing significant disruption for the local community and businesses. 3. Damage to buildings and infrastructure robs the public purse of hundreds of thousands of pounds that would otherwise be spent on the essential services we all rely on. 4. Enjoy trophy day, but respect the city and your neighbours. Do not attend unsafe and disruptive gatherings in public places like Merchant City / Trongate.

@GlasgowCC What about all of these up and coming anti Catholic parades you’ll be issuing the same message to them I presume - just a few listed below 🤔

“What about the walks of hate and shame that constantly pollute our streets?”

“Help me out I can’t find a similar tweet to the Orange Walk on the same day….you have tweeted them haven’t you? ” (BTW, VE Day was on 8 May).

“You could organise an official event and allow fans to celebrate safely instead of continuing to treat fans like a pariah despite them putting a huge amount of money into the Glasgow economy. It’s not rocket science but look forward to some greeting councillor on Monday morning.”

“This from the council 48 hours before the event is scandalous. Months and months to come up with a solution and you decide a tweet will do the trick. An amateurish operation, no wonder the city centre is in the state it is. I hope everyone enjoys the day in the sunshine.”

“Glasgow is unsafe? Well it is when a bunch of fascist racists are given permission to march through the city. Perhaps you want to relook at the problem you created. Celts, to the Trongate!”

“Maybe if you give teams Fan Zones we could celebrate with the club in a safe environment but then you wouldn’t make any money from us . I will be in the town partying like its our 55th title because it is.”

“Maybe if you – and @CelticFC for that matter – had made arrangements for something we could see happening since before Christmas we’d be more inclined to take you at your word. A fanzone in Glasgow Green or even at Celtic Park/Emirates Arena was well within your gift.”

“Celtic have tried for years mate. GCC aren’t interested.”
