I know people who helped put the Scottish Government in place, that today are angry at Celtic for abiding by the same Government’s legislation to require a passport from fans attending games until further notice. As with the smoking ban and the alcohol ban before that, a licence to open the stadium is conditional on adherence to the law. If you think the Scottish Government would make an exception for Celtic, you have not been paying attention. They would close Celtic Park in a heartbeat. Still, saltire flags, and all that.
Newco fans were arrested last month for signing the racist ‘famine song’, with its abhorrent “go home’ message to an immigrant community. Yesterday, Newco release a commercial video to the tune of this song.
I don’t know how the financial situation there is that aligning with the base in this manner in order to sell jerseys is considered acceptable. Whatever the justification, it is a desperate look, reminiscent of the heady days of October 2011, when we trailed Craig Whyte’s Oldco in the table, with some of us waiting for what seemed inevitable. Some of us are again waiting on the inevitable.

huns in the hayshed. 1921 Scottish Cup Final, Partick v Rangers (originals).
one for the historians.
Footage shows the Pavilion, hayshed enclosure with the barreled roof, the two ornate flagpoles, and the celtic end with legendary scoreboard.
I suspect this was the last moving images that captured the old pavilion, what history was lost when it burnt down.
Partick won 1-0 , crowd reported as 28,000, but it just cant be, place is packed, and the semi final at CP attracted 65,000.
Looks very like Willie Maey coming out of the tunnel, maybe as celtic host the match

random facts from the 1921 scottish cup final. its nice sometimes to wander away from hardcore celtic fanatiscm and soak up some other facts.
the attendance was indeed 28,000 because –
The match was dubbed the ‘Boycott Final’ after the Scottish Football Association raised the admission price from one shilling to two shillings. It was also played in the midst of a miners’ strike.[1]
and and and ……………..
Jimmy McMenemy played for Thistle winning his 7th Scottish Cup finsl
and and ………
Personal life
Jimmy McMenemy’s five sons were also footballers:[30] John won the Scottish Cup with Celtic in 1927[38] – just six years after his father’s last win – and the Scottish League Championship with Motherwell in 1932;[39][40] Harry played for Newcastle United[41] where he won the FA Cup in 1932;[42] Frank played for Hamilton Academical and Crystal Palace;[43] and both James (Maryhill)[44] and Joe (Strathclyde)[45] were prominent junior players but did not play at the professional level. Joe McMenemy is also credited with saving the sister of Sean Fallon from drowning during a holiday in Sligo, after which the families became acquainted; Fallon would go on to serve Celtic as a player and coach for many years.[46]
Lawrie McMenemy, the former manager of Southampton and many other teams, is a distant relation of the family.[47]
