Celtic fans reject Findlay’s pro-IRA stance…

AFTER the chair of the Celtic Trust opposed the appointment of former Northern Ireland Secretary and ex-Home Secretary John Reid as Celtic chairman for his “leading role in relation to what many believe is an illegal and immoral war”, Jeanette Findlay went on to defend the singing of pro-IRA chants on the terraces. Despite refusing to apologise, Findlay has angered many Irish fans of the club, which has also claimed her views are unrepresentative. Findlay’s timing couldn’t have been worse, as Scots united to Kick Out Bigotry on Tuesday.
