The player's meeting they had after the UEFA cup defeat clearly went well.

What an absolute disgrace at Celtic park tonight the fans are out of control and bring disgrace to both their club and football clubs all over the world. These actions are totally unacceptable

Another gloating anti Celtic post from you. What a surprise.
The fact that there was a grand total of zero arrests gives an indication of how "out of control" and "disgraceful" the fans were.
They shouldn't be protesting outside the ground given the pandemic, but the fans are at their wits end, they can't make their feelings known at the games, not too surprising that a couple of hundred felt the need to turn up and shout abuse at the board, the manager and the players.
Am sure you had a big smug smile on your face when you posted that, so please spare us the faux outrage.

Not like in good ole 2008 when Rangers (the original) were the pride of the nation ??

Well I think the scenes at Celtic Park tonight have ended the debate that fans should be allowed back into stadia. Instead, you could ask whether football should still be getting played at this time.
Absolutely shocking at any time never mind the fact that Glasgow is a tier 4 area.
Two officers injured yet no arrests made!

I mentioned Celtic Park, didn't suggest fans of other clubs were angels.?

Fans are at their wits end?
9 league titles in a row, 4 Scottish Cups (and a final to come) and 5 league cups in those same 9 years and the fans are at their wits end!!
A severe dose of realism needed within the Celtic fans! Come on it’s a bad few weeks but to think that you should be protesting and demanding change is pathetic and proving that a good percentage of Celtic fans are purely only there for the glory!
Jeez there are many many fans of other teams in Scotland that would give their right arm for one Scottish Cup win in the last 50 years and yet I don’t see their fans protesting in the streets!

I don’t think its football fans issue. I think its only an issue with ‘big team’ football fans.
I’ve just been on the Falkirk Herald website and there’s no mention of protests last night after their defeat and I’m willing to bet had Ross County lost yesterday the streets of Dingwall would’ve been safe too
Teams like the Old Firm have vast amounts of success yet it seems it’s never enough (despite the fact that only one team can win a cup) and they have an expectation for even more success to the point that no defeat can be tolerated or accepted to the exclusion of all others & other team exists solely to be trampled on, instead of doing enough to get the occasional win against the establishment
And then we see Old Firm fans behaving like spoilt brats throwing the dummy because they didn’t win a cup that one time, sad

Problem is Karen, with the ugly sisters of Old Glasgow, you don't have to do a lot of picking to get to unsavoury. The behaviours of both sets of fans through the years has been terrible. When Dunfermline's fortunes took a massive tumble and every man and their dog/cat/pigeon wanted Allan Johnston out, there was not a single gathering of anyone on the hallowed Halbeath Road, and we didn't even have Covid stopping us. Why? Because we don't have an automatic sense of entitlement to win everything and behave accordingly.

So chucking segregation barriers at police vans and booting down fences on top of cops is acceptable because they got beat a few times? All this in the middle of the biggest public health crisis of our lifetime? Geez.

rightly or wrongly, it's about expectations. Being the biggest club in Scotland, Celtic fans expect to see a winning team, playing decent football. This season has been a shambles from start to finish, failed CL qualification despite the easiest route in years, awful performances in the EL, beaten at home by Rangers without even a shot on target, stodgy sterile football week in, week out. After Rodgers - the best Celtic manager since Stein - Lennon was a cheapskate appointment that's come back to bite the club, if Rangers hadn't imploded after NY, they would have won the league comfortably.
Change is needed urgently, the fans can see that, yet Lennon refuses to go, and the board have backed him (although that may change today). It's no wonder the fans are frustrated.

Where did i say last night was acceptable?
However to put it in context, we are talking about 2 minor injuries, neither needing hospitalisation, a temporary metal fence being pushed over and a couple of traffic cones being thrown by idiots. Not acceptable behaviour, but far worse happens week in week out (or did before the pandemic) with next to nothing being said about it. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not trying to justify it, I'm explaining the reasons for it, and trying to put it in context.

don't disagree, but when Johnston was struggling, the fans had the opportunity to vent their frustration at games. if Celtic fans had the same opportunity this season, they would have been doing so weeks ago, and last night would not have happened.
