Celtic Brilliantly Slaps Back At The Ibrox CEO’s Arrogant Drivel.

Earlier on this week, I said that Stewart Robertson had lied about the Celtic ticket situation when he claimed that the two clubs had gotten around the table and decided that there would be no fans at the first two games of the season.

This did not happen anything like the way he suggested.

Celtic believe we were stitched up by Ibrox and acted accordingly.

Now, this morning, the club has hit back at his claim that away fans will be returning in these games before the end of the campaign. That might not be the case.

Celtic have put out their own statement today which basically says “We decide who comes to our house, not anybody else.” It seems pretty clear that the club is waiting to see what Ibrox does before deciding on our own response.

If they continue to mess us about we’ll hit them right back.

“Further to recent media reports regarding ticket allocations for away fans at Celtic Park, to clarify, Celtic determines the allocation for visiting teams at Celtic Park and will confirm the position for future matches at the appropriate time,” is what we’ve said today.

It is a slap back at the arrogant presumption of Ibrox to pretend now to be taking some moral high ground.

It is also a sure sign that no such discussions between the clubs have taken place or are likely to take place; as I’ve said all along, relations between the clubs are at absolute rock bottom, with Celtic furious at their behaviour over a long period of time.

According to sources, Celtic wants a return to the old arrangement.

I can confirm that this is absolutely the case.

We have been consistent in that policy since the initial changes to the ticketing arrangements were made. We have attempted to get this matter resolved several times; Robertson’s words show no desire on the part of Ibrox to fix it.

It’s precisely this kind of egocentric posturing from this joker that has sparked Celtic’s response, and I can tell you that behind the scenes the club is livid about this and in no mood to play nice, and especially when the Ibrox CEO is seen within the game at the representative of a batshit board with absolutely no credibility whatsoever.
