Celtic fan charged with Ibrox bomb hoax

A man from Northern Ireland rang Ibrox as Celtic were losing to Rangers to report a bomb at the stadium, a court has heard. 

James Joseph Doherty, 34, from Carnhill in Londonderry, is charged with making the bomb hoax during an Old Firm derby on May 12 2019. 

Rangers won the Scottish Premiership encounter 2-0 with goals from James Tavernier and Scott Arfield. 

The case was mentioned during a sitting of Derry Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A defence lawyer outlined the allegation. 

"It's a hoax bomb case where the allegation is that Celtic were getting beat, he rang Ibrox and said there was a bomb at the stadium," he said. 

"I don't think it affected the result, if my memory is right." 

The solicitor said his client had made "admissions at interview" and suggested a guilty plea was likely. 

But he added: "For some reason I'm not absolutely in a position to confirm that." 

The lawyer told district judge Barney McElholm if the charge was contested it would be a relatively short hearing, based on the legal papers in the case. 

"What I can say is, if it's not a plea, it'll be a very short contest on the papers," he said. 

The solicitor asked for the case to be adjourned for two weeks.

Judge McElholm listed the matter to be heard again on November 19 and said this bitter cunt clearly has Rangers Derangement Syndrome and hopefully 55 will end him and others who support those peado harbouring terrorist loving scumbags.

So according to his lawyer, his defence is that he didn't think it effected the result (if his memory serves him right) :lol: 

No bother. 

Weirdo wean raping bastard. There's nothing these fenian's won't try and pull. 

People like him are the exact reason we need to win the league this year. They'll literally be lying down in front of lorries on the M8, jumping on train tracks and throwing themselves aff buildings if it were to happen. That should be Gerrard's team talks imo.

That part read to me like his solicitor is a Rangers fan and it was a sly dig. Surely not though?

Surely jail time, if bullets in the post get you it then a bomb hoax at such a large venue deserves the same surely. Weirdo cunts

I think you can get up to 10 years for bomb hoaxes.
