Rangers fans have been reacting to the Celtic statement [Celtic] in the wake of Ryan Christie’s three-match ban for grabbing Alfredo Morelos’ private parts.
In the statement, Celtic refer to “the recent treatment of Celtic players and the lack of sanctions being imposed on those responsible”.
Many of the club’s supporters feel that Celtic don’t have a leg to stand on for a number of reasons, not least because of the number of incidents involving Celtic players which haven’t been highlighted by the compliance officer in recent seasons.
So, in the spirit of fully understanding what Celtic mean in their statement, here’s the Rangers News alternative take on what our Old Firm rivals had to say.
Please, don’t take it too seriously.
“Celtic Football Club and Ryan Christie [Kevin Clancy] are extremely disappointed at the outcome of the hearing today [and of last weekend’s humbling Old Firm defeat to Rangers].
Given the recent treatment of Celtic players [and excluding all the times the actions of our players have been ignored] and the lack of sanctions being imposed on those responsible [Alfredo Morelos is a thug and should be locked up for assault] the fact that a sanction has been imposed on Ryan for the incident in question demonstrates a worrying lack of consistency in the Scottish FA fast track process [how dareth thy break from tradition and ban one of our players?].
“Naturally, we will be contacting the Scottish FA regarding our concerns [Peter Lawwell will be demanding the kind of treatment we’re used to, as highlighted by Stewart Milne].
Scottish football deserves a disciplinary process which is fair, consistent and fit for purpose [Scottish football deserves a disciplinary process which shines favourably on Celtic].”
Aye, that about sums it up.
