On Sunday, I entered the Janefield St tunnel from the east at 11:38 (Google tracking to the minute), and reached my turnstile (T22), which is a few meters beyond the gates. The gates were open at this time, approximately 15 minutes before kick-off. The tunnel was busy but orderly and there was no crushing.
Reports suggest the gates were closed 10 minutes before kick-off. Fans continued to walk towards their turnstile, not knowing the gates ahead were closed. This caused crushing and distress, as fans were boxed in.
There was a slightly higher footfall in the tunnel than previous games against Newco, or others. 6,000 extra Celtic fans were situated at the east of the stadium than were there during previous games against Newco. Some of them approached the stadium from the west. The police stopped Celtic fans walking west-to-east along London Road, leaving the Janfield St tunnel as the only available route.
This scenario is reminiscent of what happened at the Hillsborough Disaster. Fans entered the Leppings Lane terrace through a tunnel, unaware that ahead was a solid wall of people. Fans walking through the tunnel had no way of knowing they were trapping people in front of them. There was no escape to the side and police refused to open gates at the pitch side of the terrace. 96 people died.
No significant crushing injuries happened on Sunday probably because the police realised the consequence of closing the gates and opened them again within minutes, and the crowd remained calm. Those trapped in the tunnel were lucky.
Tunnels are not inherently dangerous but become so when badly controlled. It is permissible to block people from entering them, but it is negligent to create a blockage in a tunnel that becomes a crush-point, stopping people passing through, or leaving.
I was at a serious incident on Janefield St in 1985, when four mounted police created panic by charging through the back of a crowd leaving a Celtic-Rangers game. That evening I witnessed a bottle fly out of the Rangers end and hit an officer on the head, causing him to collapse. Then, after the game, I saw a Celtic fan throw an object at a mounted police officer, striking him on the face.
I am sure the subsequent charge through the crowd was some sort of indiscriminate retribution for the latter incident, on a day the police suffered at least two casualties. The subsequent investigation and findings completely contradicted what I saw.
Before Sunday’s game serious mistakes were made. Clear acknowledgment must be made this time.

Celtic should be protecting its players… remind PL these are assets/ he might say something then…. no other club cares they are RANGERS supporters first in the boardrooms of Scotland.. try listen to Well fans etc talk
It doesn’t matter whether it’s 3 or 300 refs looking at video footage of McGregor deliberately kicking Ajer.
Every one of them can plainly see that McGregor is deliberately kicking Ajer.
Anyone who can’t see that is a cheating liar.
GDT
Simply put and correct.
He’s played 4 in the league , won only 1 , sits 7th and a loss against fellow bottom six strugglers Dundee could see him barking at his caravan – That is what they are deflecting from with this latest con !
Celtic reached end of the line? Working behind scenes? Celtic do and say nothing about corruption. Behind the scenes is where masons do work… Only one person spoke out on corruption. tHe RR chairman. reform ? with all those masons in postions of power..never..of course Celtic voted Campbell Ogilvie back I his postion even after the financial blip at ibrox. PS Alan Shearer threatened never to play for England if he was banned for kicking NL in the head…thgey backed down.. Naismith and McGregor didi.t need to do that… and will get a pat on the back for tax dodger Mcleish

If VAR is set to be introduced to football in the UK can the SFA refuse to cooperate and would a decision against sevco be honoured…..or would a decision be reversed an a appeal examined by the 3 officials….
MARADOMINIC on 4TH SEPTEMBER 2018 4:08 PM
Celtic voted Campbell Ogilvie back I his postion even after the financial blip at ibrox.
*naw we didnae, we abstained, the rest of the craft allowed him tae stay.
Abstained…so didn’t protest/… a cowardly way out.
At the very least, we should be told specifically why there is no case to answer
Bournesouprecipe
Excellent my bhoy!
(have they suffered enough yet?)
They (Sevco) say what they want and dae what the want and fek all is done about it. The reason being the minority of those in authority are either Huns or are shoite scared of them. So it was with Oldco and now it is with Sevco and it ain’t gonna change. So we just have to hump them on the football field and sicken the orange fekers. Hail Hail
Maradominic,
if there a re no other candidates nominated and nd you don’t want to vote for the only candidate then you abstain.
Unless there’s some other course of action that can be taken but I don’t think there is one.
Minority should be Mijority
Two weeks in a row McGregor has got away with it. I actually thought last week for worse.
He was really sneaky and went down as if he had no option. He then jumped/dived over a couple of players torl reach the Motherwell player he wanted to do. I think it was Hartley, who he hit with a deliberate elbow. Absolutely no argument to that.
If the Plc’s vote was not made to negate a vote for Ogilvie then it was a positive vote, the Plc voted for Ogilvie
I understand that playing for one’s country should be a very special thing, and I get that, really do.
However, Celtic players are paid by Celtic FC and as such must adhere to the terms of employment ad regulations passed down.
So the club should inform the SFA they are no longer willing to provide players for international duty until an even playing field is in place and everyone plays by the same rules. Celtic at the same time should advise the players why they have taken that action, i’m sure they will be fully behind the club as it will not take long for the shit to hit the fan.
KINGLuBO
why try and defend celtic plc, the main shareholder is on record as say they are a great club only a tory thinking of money so does not care
MARADOMINIC on 4TH SEPTEMBER 2018 2:42 PM
At least it wasn’t a unanimous decision..one non mason on the panel!
========
Not necessarily so.
By insisting on an unanimous verdict, the decision can be vetoed by one former colleague of the match referee who may or may not have been prone to honest mistakes.
imo its demond who is to blame for not going after them not lawell desmond is more than likely a token mason
IKI
I can imagine three men wearing brown brogues with trouser leg rolled giving funny handshakes and asking whose turn is it to say naw.
The same guys who gave a Celtic player a lengthy ban based on nothing more than the word of a liar and racist.
Ryan Jack hasn’t learned has he? Shut gob! He gave us the one chance we needed because he lunged at a player when behind him was open . Open space they came not to leave because they were desperate for a draw. Jack should now know what class is because he was left for dead by TR. He thought they had us under pressure and jumped into TR. Don’t give the ref the chance Jackie. We destroyed you and that’s what should worry you.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the first non Sevco player up for kicking an opponent off the ball.. esp if it’s one of our own

DBHOY on 3RD SEPT @ 7:09 AM,
That’s very interesting piece on Huge Jackman, as westerners we seem to have become attached from our natural environs and spiritual well being.
But like Huge Jackman experienced, when you’re in that “zone” you realise it’s mankind’s natural condition.
—————————————————————
Interesting decision once again by the SFA.
If it wasn’t before, it is now very obvious that this organisation is completely incapable of taking any necessary action against the Ibrox Clubs.
Alan McGregors kick on Kris Ajer is the most blatant of fouls. Willie Collum was incapable of taking the proper decision and award a penalty and red card at the time.
Normally he’d produce a yellow so if could not be dealt with after the fact, of course if he did that he would have to have given the obvious penalty.
So he ignored it, leaving it for his colleagues to deal with later. It is of course so blatant, so obvious that you feel even Sevco will be given a red card on this occasion.
However, like many of the SFA’s processes it is open to abuse. Firstly the ex-refs who sit on the disciplinary tribunals are anonymous, secondly it needs a unanimous not a majority decision.
That means one anonymous cheat can circumvent the whole process. We know there more than enough of those around.
The SFA is not fit for purpose, it needs most of it’s roles on governing Scottish Football striped from it and the remainder of the organisation needs to be totally reformed into a small, transparent and impartial administration organisation.
Hail Hail
Hugh Jackman – Detached doh!!

Not be the first time McGregor’s got off,it will continue until
some on at Celtic can find a testicle sadly.
pull all our players from the national team squad forthwith and let them get on with it ,enough is enough , we have to show them we mean business or they will continue to s*** ALL OVER US.
“I don’t mump and moan about decisions”
©️ Daily Record…
Eh?..Ryan, did you just not mump and moan about Wille Collum?
RJ.. That wisnae me!
Eh?..Did you not just mump and moan about an alleged foul when Tom Rogic brushed past you?
RJ.. That wisnae me!
Eh?..I think your talking pish Ryan!
RJ.. This isnae fair, am gonnae appeal against this!
A shameless repost from this morning, but I thought it wisnae bad…?
Well done girls.
The only way to get a result in this country is to score more goals…keep blasting it into the net.
Expect nothing in terms of fairness or an even application of the rules.
Stop greeting about it….it will get worse…
It’s always been the same!
Nothing changed in 2012.
Nothing!
The Celtic Board accepted it. The overwhelming majority of Celtic fans have accepted it!
All we have left is to keep banging in the goals.
And
Remembering when to grunt on cue…maybe one more season?!
Then await our turn to groan.

Does anyone reckon that, if Alan McGregor pulled a skean dhu out his sock, and stabbed Kris Ajer, he would stil have got away Scot free?
Ludicrous question, I know.
Of course he would.
