Celtic has issued a second statement regarding the incidents that occurred at Ibrox after their 3-3 draw with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. The club expressed their dismay over the throwing of coins at John Kennedy during the match, labeling it as completely unacceptable. They plan to address their concerns with Rangers and have been informed that the matter is being looked into by the authorities.
This incident has brought back memories of a similar situation during Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Rangers in 2022, where broken glass was found on Joe Hart’s goalmouth. Now, reports have emerged of missiles being thrown from the crowd, leading the club to take action.
The latest statement from Celtic involves an incident with midfielder Matt O’Riley, who was targeted with a glass bottle after scoring a goal from the spot. The club expressed disappointment over the repeated targeting of their players and staff and have already raised the issue with Rangers.
As the situation continues to develop, Celtic is committed to ensuring the safety of everyone involved in football matches. The club is determined to address these incidents and work towards creating a safe and competitive environment for all.
