    Comparing the behavior to whatever rangers fans get up to shouldn't really be any sort of benchmark. If people choose to * all over their town, vandalise public areas, and damage small local businesses they should be called out for doing so. The fact that no riot police were required is neither here nor there.

    This.

    People love to go to the “aye but Rangers” well when the reality is that their behaviour is a pretty low bar to compare ourselves against.

    Yeah great. We didn’t need riot police to break it up. It doesn’t excuse the drunken mess, the vandalism or disruption to business. But woohoo, we were slightly better than the huns.

    Still maintaining that it was a small minority causing bother, but that minority rightly or wrongly serve to paint us all with the same brush. And it wasn’t a minority leaving the mess.

    They were. I was at the game and it was pretty obvious.

    BHOYS getting the deserved standing section they deserve (Still early Talk).

    as much as folk May dislike them they never gave up on the Irish Heritage/Roots.

    not saying much but majority are aware from the forum why the Bhoys/gb split up the old corner.

    What's the difference if any between the GB and the bhoys? And how does it work giving particular groups of fans their own standing sections?

    I know nothing about this stuff

    Hope you are going to do a big tribute for James Forrest against the huns when he will reach 500 Celtic appearances which only 17 other Celtic players have achieved in history of the club.

    Absolutely fantastic. This is what these bhoys do best and it should never be taken for granted. Hats off to them.

    A large group of (masked) men understood to be Celtic supporters were kettled by the polis today in Glasgow as they tried to join the counter protest to the anti immigration gathering.

    I think it’s to look edgy,intimidating.I honestly can’t think of any other reason.

    Everyone else that was there didn’t get jailed.

    I still think they should have been allowed in!

    The Bhoys are more trouble, based on my experiences with both. I generally applaud people trying to create an atmosphere, but my ST used to be below the Bhoys when they sat in 444. They were the most needlessly confrontational wee arseholes I’ve ever come across in my time as a supporter.

    Mostly wee neds desperate to be part of the “ultras scene”. A few more reasonable members among them, but they are the type you see attacking pubs on derby days.
