Jeanette Findlay, of the Celtic Trust, has raised concerns with Michael Nicholson about the safety of Celtic fans at away games, specifically mentioning the use of horses by police.
This conversation seems to be in the context of an incident at Easter Road, where Celtic fans allegedly faced intimidating behavior from police and stewards.
Findlay’s stance is that the club should support its fans, especially in situations where they might be unfairly blamed or treated. Her comments suggest a call for Celtic to take a more proactive role in ensuring the safety and fair treatment of its supporters during away matches.
In response to these concerns, Michael Nicholson, representing Celtic, indicated that the club is open to providing security at away turnstiles. The statement “That offer is there” implies that Celtic is willing to extend its security measures to protect its fans when they are attending away games. [SunSport]
This interaction highlights the ongoing efforts to ensure fan safety and the role of club officials in advocating for and protecting their supporters, especially in potentially hostile or challenging environments at away venues.
The involvement of the Celtic Trust, a prominent group representing the interests of Celtic supporters, underscores the importance of fan safety as a key issue for both the club and its fan base.
