Smeltic following sectarian abuse by their fans of Derek McInnes yesterday
Celtic released an ANONYMOUS statement today:
"Chanting of this nature should have no place in football and we condemn this wholeheartedly," said a Celtic spokesperson.
"We hope the authorities also take the same interest in offensive chanting directed at Celtic Football Club and our supporters at yesterday's match and other games."
For all those who had a go at Leanne Dempsters statements and complained that she didn't have a go at opposition fans behaviour, this is what it looks like and how it undermines the sincerity of the condemnation of the behaviour of your own fans.
Leanne Dempster acted positively and didn't blame anyone else for our fans behaviour..
The politicians won't miss this statement and all Celtic have done is stoked the fire. Schoolboy error Victim FC.
Celtic have flagged up that they are part of the problem and will always seek to deflect rather than addressing the issue at hand.
The politicians are comin' to get the arsecheeks..........if brexit is ever sorted out.
Dempster, as always, one step ahead of the curve.

I can see what they are trying to say. Many clubs are subjected to sectarian chanting and sings from numerous other clubs so why have they decided to investigate this specific incident.
Hopefully it is the start of a clampdown in Scottish football rather than just looking at this one incident.

Hibs and Hearts showing the Glasgow bigots how it's done. That response is infantile and could just as easily have been written by Traynor.

It's not a legitimate complaint, it's a deflection tactic. Celtic and Rangers aren't interested in dealing with their sectarian problem.

Sectarianism is too lucrative for Celtic and Rangers to clamp down on. Their supporters are defined by it. They wont bite the hand that feeds them.

The Old Firm do the same thing every time. It's so transparent. They have no interest in tackling sectarianism.

Nobody at Celtc or The Rangers is going to clamp down on sectarianism and risk alienating their core support.
They'll say the absolute minimum required, and only if under extreme pressure to be seen doing so.
The other side will ALWAYS be more guilty.

Celtic’s response was as predictable as it was pathetic. As pathetic as Sevco claiming their fans were entitled to engage with Hibs supporters in 2016 to protect their players. Deflect, Ignore, Repeat.
Seriously, even the most bigoted politicians must now be thinking these two Glasgow clubs are the thickest thickies in Thickville and that something needs to be done about them. The Celtic statement should have been condemned by the media, but they’ve shown time and again they are also part of the problem.

People claim to want sectarianism dealt with but they want someone else to do it first. Hibs and Hearts have had a lot of stick from our/their own fans recently but at least the clubs are showing a bit willingness to admit that there is a problem and to try and deal with it.
That statement from Celtic is depressingly predictable. 'Aye we are sort of sorry but other people do it too and some of them are worse than us.' Ultimately if there was a real desire on their part to tackle the issues within their own support it wouldn't matter that others do it too; they would tackle their own issues then look elsewhere with a legitimate entitlement to claim a moral high ground. As said above though there is no desire from Celtic, Rangers, the SPFL or the SFA to deal with sectarianism beyond paying lip service. It's worth far too much money to all involved.

It’s depressing to see such a limited understanding of the moral high ground

It will be interesting to hear if Hibs and Hearts are keen to continue their hard line on unacceptable conduct.
FWIW I'm very happy with the way both clubs have addressed recent problems and if anything arises then I look forward to their continued tough action and willingness to highlight and tackle unacceptable behaviour.

They won't, as long as there are a few thousand blue pounds to be had though.

On the Stevie G issue I seem to recall that DMc backed the action but made the statment that he was happy to help out so long as the investigations and punishments were consistant. Making sure that Aberdeen were not going to be on the hook when Rangers and Celtic get off with it time and again.

How can Stevie Gerrard be an Orange B'st'rd if he's a Roman Catholic?
If, as some suggest, it's a sectarian slur against Protestants...then it can't possibly apply to him.
