DAILY RECORD 9/11/09
"One minute of silence. Thats all they were asked to observe.
But a group of Celtic fans just couldn't bring themselves to allow Europes war dead 60 seconds of fleeting respect.
What they did yesterday on Remembrance Sunday was shameful and struck at the heart of common decency.
Who are these spiteful people who refuse to honour and respect the millions who were slaughtered and who continue to fall in the name of freedom?
They live in a fog of hate,anger and probably also ignorance. Indeed,it is almost possible to feel sorry for them. Almost,but not quite because,frankly,they are despicable.
For some reason nothing was heard on Skys broadcast while the singing of Celtics fans could be heard clearly on BBC Radio Scotland. Did someone at Sky take the decision to muffle the protest? If so,why ? There is no point in trying to gloss over the fans who shame Scotland. They should be exposed.
These people need to understand we are Scottish with no wish to be dragged back into the past. We don't have any desire to become Irish. Those who do should catch a ferry from Stranraer and leave the rest of us alone.
Ironically,however,there was a silence yesterday. It was all quiet on the moral highground which too many Celtic fans had been quick to claim as their own. Today it lies empty and thats as it should always be"
