celtic football club statement

Newsroom Staff
FOLLOWING a letter written to Celtic FC by Gregory Campbell MP regarding sectarianism, which generated media coverage today and subsequent enquiries, the Club has issued the following statement.

“We are pleased that Mr. Campbell recognises the great work which Celtic has carried out in tackling sectarianism.

“We have received his fax and it would have been appropriate for the Club to have an opportunity to consider its content before it was released to the press.

“However, it will certainly be considered along with a number of other representations we have received in relation to racist and sectarian chanting from supporters of other clubs.”
