Coopermania 1 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 http://www.<No links to this website>/news/scottish...86908-20398549/ Celtic star Aiden McGeady in street clash Apr 29 2008 By Paul O'Hare CELTIC star Aiden McGeady was caught up in a street brawl just hours after Sunday's Old Firm match. The winger clashed with Rangers fans after being taunted as he left a nightclub with team-mate Scott McDonald, 24. McGeady, 22, was targeted by the yobs who squared up to him and chanted: "If you hate Aiden McGeady clap your hands". One onlooker said: "They were right in his face and very threatening." Seconds later, the Republic of Ireland international was attacked. McGeady is said to have defended himself and the bust-up was over in seconds. McDonald was not involved in the scuffle. The two players had been celebrating their team's 3-2 win over Rangers when trouble flared outside Bamboo in Glasgow. Hours earlier, Australian McDonald scored two goals and was brought down for Celtic's penalty clincher. But it was McGeady who was singled out by the drunken louts. Police were called to the city centre nightclub around 3.30am yesterday but no complaint was made. A Celtic spokesman said: "The players made the club aware of this incident on Monday. Aiden has made it clear he'd be more than happy to co-operate with the police as both players were undoubtedly the aggrieved parties in this unfortunate incident." Midfielder McGeady was last week named Scotland's player of the year and young player of the year by his fellow professionals. But one Parkhead season ticket holder who witnessed the fracas was critical of the star. He said: "Nobody deserves what happened to Aiden and he did his best to avoid the confrontation. "But I don't think it was too clever going out after a Celtic v Rangers game, especially after his team had won. "It's a sad indictment of Glasgow but players are best lying low after an Old Firm match." The incident came just 24 hours after Motherwell captain Paul Quinn was attacked in Wishaw, Lanarkshire. He suffered a broken jaw and is out for the rest of season. Meanwhile, a Celtic fan has died after being attacked in Govan, Glasgow. Patrick McBride, 51, was assaulted by a gang around 9.30pm on Sunday. It's believed the Gorbals man suffered a heart attack. He was not wearing any football colours but cops believe the confrontation was triggered by the Old Firm game. Three men, all aged 21, were arrested in connection with the incident and are expected at Glasgow Sheriff Court today. There were six other arrests linked to the Old Firm match, mainly for minor offences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have been much of an attack ... sounds like there was no injuries for the journo to write about...handbags...so he was lucky! Exactly what I thought. How brain dead must you be to go out after such a game. Considering how well paid these guys are you think they could have a private party at one of their lush pads.

GGBear 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The cynical person would say this was a set up - going out to a Glasgow city centre club right after an OF game - comon these guys know this is not a sensible thing to do - I believe this was an attempt to antagonise Rangers fans into a reaction - as was the t-shirt stunt on the park. I see both as a deliberate attempt to get Rangers fans to rise to the bait! The aim being to take the flak away from the issues with Celtc fans behaviour and try to divert the press's attention to Ranger's fans. They are trying to pull every stroke in the book to hamper Rangers - either by injuring players, influencing fixture dates, intimidating officials and now they are trying to make the fans react in an attempt to tar our reputation and cause the Rangers issues in this crutial month - Only in my opinion of course.

J_RFC87 766 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 No you're right, Aiden should never have been out in a nightclub in Glasgow after another high tension OF match. He's a donkey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I seen Aiden outside Bamboo about 3 or 4 weeks ago, gets to skip the queue unsurprisingly while we were in the wrong queue! Pals said to me that it was Mcgeady but I didn't believe them until he'd walked away, thought they were taking the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepeter 5,627 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 yeh, think it was bkay who posted it? you can tell a timmy wrote the article aswell. absolutely, gets on me nerves how biased they are and if what bkay said was true(which i think it is) then what actually happened is the exact opposite of what the article says. The Sun is more balanced. It quotes an independent witness confirming what Bkay says, and also makes McGeady out to be a bit of a fud when they ask him for a quote. I'll have to scrub myself pretty hard after buying (yes, BUYING) that rag. Hope you're ok Bkay. Been to the police yet? You definitely should.
