James had an article on this either today or yesterday. Had my own thoughts before then which amounted to the same gut instinct: we shouldn’t go. I know the reasons for going don’t get me wrong. Supporting the team is vital, however, I see trouble at that particular fixture and one of the key benefits of not going would be that our fans would escape blame for any of the aforementioned trouble.
Now the game may pass without incident. It’s possible. It’s also possible it won’t and how will that impact upon 800 celebrating hoops fans? I think we can all speculate on that. One thing it will not involve is maximum safety, nor fair scrutiny of the events in any aftermath. I get people want to go and why, in fact in a safe venue I would love to go and be the small band of Celtic sanity in that place. But nowadays? I don’t think so, plus Celtic’s reputation is paramount to me. If it’s only the cream buns there it means ALL shame lands (rightly) at their door. That would not only be justified it would also be long overdue.
What do people think? No right answer here but comments welcome.
