Dire Tabloid Embarrassingly Salivates Over Two Arrests At Celtic Celebrations.

Yesterday, the celebrations outside Celtic Park were quite incredible. There were many thousands of fans who gathered to welcome the team back to the ground. These scenes have been shown around the world. They show our club is truly special.

So of course, today The Daily Record and its dire sister publications would want to focus at least some of their attention on the shocking arrests statistics. Which were … err … not really that shocking.

Two people were arrested for breach of the peace.

One man and one woman.

For all we know they were a couple having a particularly heated argument.

You can see that on any street in this city, on any night of the week.

It doesn’t usually merit press attention.

You would think that this city was a Crime Free Zone last night other than this; it’s the only explanation for the coverage they’ve given it.

Actually, I rather suspect that it wasn’t. There are plenty of real criminals who must have been wondering what the papers would say about them today and who are quite relieved that others were caught behaving badly.

Honest to God, this stuff pisses you right off.

The same newspaper defended the Ibrox fans after they rioted at a European final.

Then again when they did the same at a Scottish Cup Final.

They banged the drum on their behalf even as they found running battles with police in this very city to “celebrate” their single title win.

But we get headlines cause of two arrests? Unbelievable.

A much bigger story got modest coverage yesterday; the treatment our fans got at Tynecastle, where the local police and the stewarding operation degenerated to the point of dangerous farce.

The utter stupidity of their system yesterday flared briefly on the media radar – because Celtic fans filled social media with condemnation of it – and it’s been allowed to die.

I very much doubt that the club will let it die. I would imagine they will be demanding answers, and I think many people would be interested in what responses they get.

The Record could have followed up on that.

Instead that rag and its ancillary publications wants to talk about this. What a joke.
