Am I wrong or is there a case to be made that celtic are in a way happy to play up to this " we are the most persecuted club in British football " scenario and in some ways try to encourage that perception of the club.

It is a fact that many people like to identify with this kind of thing.

E.G. I'm a celtic fan, you cant possibly understand what its like having to battle through the persecution of the SFA / SPL and the hatred of the rest of Scottish society. Ergo, we are the best fans in the world.

In a sense Manchester Utd grew into a huge global club, perhaps not totally, but certainly in part due to the Munich airport disaster. Munchausen syndrome by proxy in a sense.

In a different, perhaps more calculated way, celtic are trying to create their own version of that. Or if not create, at least take advantage of.

Idiots sending bullets in the post and daft Yams certainly cant be to celtics liking, but I wouldnt put it past them to at least tacitly make the most of the situation.

I obviously have no concrete proof that this is the situation, but thats how its starting to look to me.
