They also robbed Hibs of all there star players in the early days , when Hibs were recognised as the club in Scotland for the Irish community , so they stole that from them as well with the help of wealthy irish-born businessmen in Glasgow , hardly the poor roots they love to look upon all dewey and misty-eyed !!

Celtic is a Scottish club with proud Irish roots, an organisation which represents a fusion of cultures between both countries. We are a club open to all and while we celebrate our traditions, it is important that we also celebrate our diversity.

Spot on Smurf. Cellic STOLE players form Hibs, even after Hibs had gone out of their way to help Cellic get started in football.

Truley a club of lowlife thieving scum.

"Itz cuz eh sawlteyer iz blue in ats a dirty orange basturd culur" is their usual reason for lack of Saltires but what about the Starry Plough that many Celtic fans love to wave?

"The Irish Famine resulted in death, disease and displacement of people on an unimaginable scale, with the West of Scotland becoming a principal point of refuge.

It's amazing that they sing about knowing their history, when even their Chairman doesn't recognise that only a small percentage of those displaced from Ireland settled in Scotland.

Check out the Kafflick churchs' figures Dr Reid. There was only a minimal increase in the amount of Kafflicks in Scotland after the 'Great Hunger'.

It just goes to show that the closest the majority of these MOPES have came to Ireland is being 10 rows back at a U2 concert.

This is their explanation

Celtic Chairman John Reid said: "Given Celtic's proud Irish heritage, this club is inextricably linked to the Great Famine and the subsequent immigration from Ireland.

"Celtic Football Club, therefore, is proud to be marking National Famine Memorial Day in this manner as we pay our respects to all those affected by the Great Hunger, one of the most tragic chapters in modern world history.

"The Irish Famine resulted in death, disease and displacement of people on an unimaginable scale, with the West of Scotland becoming a principal point of refuge.

"The Famine is a lesson from history which should never be forgotten, but from the despair and death of famine arose new hope, new life and a new future. Part of that came in the shape of Celtic Football Club.

"The desperate people who fled Ireland and their offspring born in Scotland, became the collective parents of Celtic Football Club.

"The club's main inspiration, Brother Walfrid and Michael Davitt, the club's first patron, were both young children during the Famine in Ireland.

"Celtic is a Scottish club with proud Irish roots, an organisation which represents a fusion of cultures between both countries. We are a club open to all and while we celebrate our traditions, it is important that we also celebrate our diversity.

"During the past 120 years, Celtic has developed into a world-class football organisation which strives for excellence and success on and off the field.

"However, while we always aim to build and grow, there will be one constant - we will always remain much more than a football club and we will always remember our proud heritage."

Is this serious? I honestly had to check that the date is May 17th, not April 1st. Quite unbelievable for the chairman of a football club to put out a statement like this. Commemorate football-related disasters such as Ibrox, Bradford or Hillsborough - fine. But something like this is pure political point scoring without a doubt. The message from them is clear - you may take our title away but we'll still have the moral high ground. Absolutely jaw-dropping sanctimony. What next - a special edition Inverness shirt to commemorate the Highland Clearances, or maybe Motherwell might want to wear a 'Ravenscraig RIP' version?
