Celtic Initiates Safety Review After Fan Lockout at Old Firm Derby
Celtic Football Club has announced the initiation of a safety review following the controversial decision to lock out away fans during the recent Old Firm derby against Rangers. The decision, which sparked widespread debate and criticism, was made in response to safety concerns raised by Police Scotland. Celtic's statement emphasized their commitment to ensuring the safety of all supporters while expressing disappointment over the lockout, which they believe detracts from the vibrant atmosphere of Scottish football.
The review aims to assess the current safety measures and explore alternative solutions that could allow for the return of away fans to future matches. This comes after Celtic fans were barred from attending the match at Ibrox Stadium, a move that has been met with frustration and calls for a resolution that satisfies both safety protocols and the spirit of the game. The club has pledged to work closely with authorities and other stakeholders to find a way forward that prioritizes fan safety without compromising the essence of football.
