The Hammer 11 2,579 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Celtic and Rangers fans visited at home by cops to warn against Old Firm gatherings Authorities have expressed concerns over potential gatherings across Glasgow following chaotic scenes in the city centre last week. Daniel Morrow Cops have visited the homes of Old Firm fans to warn them over gathering in large numbers ahead of next weekend’s derby between the Glasgow sides. Police Scotland said that it is ‘common practice’ for the force to visit ‘individuals affiliated’ with either team before Rangersand Celtic play one another. But concerns have been raised over the possibility of supporters breaching Covid guidelines to gather outside Celtic Park and elsewhere in the city. Celtic are scheduled to play bitter rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at the Parkhead stadium next Sunday.

Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said: “In advance of any Old Firm match, it is common practice for us to visit individuals affiliated with both clubs and remind them of their responsibilities not to engage in any behaviour or disorder which might endanger public safety. “Given the current pandemic, it is vitally important that people do not attend Celtic Park or any other locations on Sunday, 21 March, as this would breach coronavirusregulations and is irresponsible in terms of protecting the health of the wider public and our officers. "We will do everything we can to reinforce this message to stay at home including, where appropriate, visits to certain individuals. “Police Scotland will also support both clubs in urging fans to take personal responsibility, do the right thing and stay at home." Nicola Sturgeon has warned that next week's fixture could be at risk (Image: PA) Keep in touch with Daniel Morrow Daniel is a trends and advance content writer for the Daily Record.

Memorial benches were also destroyed during the illegal gathering. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has warnedthat the club’s clash against Celtic could be at risk following the incident. Rangers captain James Tavernier has pleaded with supporters to stay at home ahead of the match. He said: “I want to send a message for all Rangers fans. Thank you for you support over the last week. "We have another huge week ahead, the second on Thursday the the Old Firm at Parkhead on Sunday. "As captain of Rangers it is a huge privilege to represent the best fans in the world. I want to highlight how important it is for you to all stay at home next weekend. Top news stories today "Please don't gather in crowds especially near the city centre or the stadium.

five stars 1,621 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Mass demonstrations on the streets to protest about women's safety. If your applying the covid rules with equality, it doesn't matter how just you feel a cause is, it has the same potential for spreading the disease as any other mass gathering. But comparing the reaction of politicians and media to our celebrations show complete hypocrisy. Our celebrations were called disgusting and shameful, we were told we had blood on our hands. Complaints were made about the police not doing enough. While the women's demonstrations is praised, with the police attracting heavily critised for doing their job. Journalism and politics are fucked in this country. And the police are being increasingly politised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club and SG are pretty clear about congregating for OF game - just don’t do it! It really is that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
