From the magazine When Saturday Comes.
MY RESPONSE TO THE MAGAZINE'S EDITOR -
Your correspondent Fiona McDerment, May 2024 WSC, was being a little economical with the réalité, in her article on the banning of Celtic fans from the recent Old Firm women’s game at Ibrox.
She is correct that a Celtic risk group intended to attend en masse. What she fails to report is that they were to be accompanied by a group of PSG hooligans with pyrotechnics and damage to the stadium very much part of the agenda. Also - She describes the “self-sabotage” of the game by Rangers in not allowing in away fans as a strange choice.
Celtic were informed of the planned attacks and given the names of those identified but refused to take action against them for reasons best known to themselves.
