Bigotry?
Fact: Celtic had a paedophile ring operating at the club for decades, 6 coaches have been charged some jailed. Head beast Jim Torbertt was thrown out the club by Jock Stein, Stein considered protecting the “good” name of club more important than protecting children, so didn’t inform the police. Incredibly when Stein died Torbertt a known paedo was re employed by Celtic and went on to abuse more kids. Celtics captain said “it (child abuse) was AN OPEN SECRET AT PARKHEAD” they have links to Jimmy Saville, Barry Bennel and numerous other nonces inc proven beasts within the RC Church. I don’t care about religion of any flavour but if telling the truth about the worst child abuse in World football makes me a bigot in your eyes so be it.

It's only an issue in Scotland and Northern Ireland, not England or Wales. I've never had any hassle here. Thankfully, my links are with Italy.

Celtic 13 PST ahead, 2 old firm games to play and Rangers have a game in hand, potentially 9 points right there. Hearts only 4 points off safety. It’s done but it stinks. As you said everything should just be null and void. Titles won during WW2 are not recognised these should be the same.

You are deluded Jock, Celtic would have won the league at a canter. I am surprised Gerard is still in his post!! In fact you should be grateful Celtic didn't achieve the quadruple treble which would have almost certainly been achieved if it wasn't for this virus!!!

If I was a betting man my mneywould obviously be on Celtic.
If the positions were reversed would you be happy to concede to Rangers?
