Bit embarrassing for the 'Union Bears' crew. Came on the pitch and stood behind the police line then ran off. In their blue gimp masks too. Looked like a youth club out of hand.

Thankfully the invisible wall done enough to hold them back.

Why do most of these alpha manispere gang units have such fabulously gay names?

And there are people that think these 2 neanderthal outfits should be allowed to join our Premier League!
You don't want either team anywhere near the EFL/EPL.
It's may have meant my boy having to watch some absolute dross over the past year (pre McKenna) but I was determined from the start that he would be a Town fan rather than following the herd in his school.

Whenever I am in Glasgow for work on weekends there are always groups of children walking around town dressed entirely in black, some with masks on. They all look about 12 years old and do very little other than posture and cosplay at being grown up.

Neither team would win a single game, both are absolutely garbage at the moment.
Indeed but I think the only reason they would want to come south is for the money that PL clubs get which with their crowds would make them competitive. Hopefully it will never happen. There's nothing the PL would gain by having them.
Never forget that in April 2021, for ITFC, the Game Changed.

Agreed - I don’t know what set of fans instigated trouble today but over the years both sets of fans have behaved like bigoted vile yobs. It doesn’t matter if one group wave Irish tricolours or chant God save the King, both sets of fans would disgrace the PL and they can both stay north of the border.

Not just the crowds. Both old frm teams would get massive sponsorship in the Premier League. Plus the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers own a majority share in Rangers. They would be spending big if they were in the Premier League.
But it's a moot point. Not going to happen.

I don't see an issue with Celtic fans flying the Irish tricolour. It's a national flag rather than a sectarian symbol. Celtic was formed by Irish Marist Brother Walfrid and had strong ties to Irish immigrant communities in Glasgow. That is their heritage and tradition. Just as Tottenham Hotspur has a deep-rooted historical connection to the Jewish community in North London. Or the Merseyside clubs have a strong historical connection to Irish immigrants.
Likewise God Save The King is a national anthem. Rangers are a British club playing in Great Britain. It's not an anti Catholic song.
This is completely different to sectarian abuse such as Celtic fans calling Rangers fans "Huns" or Rangers fans calling Celtic fans "Fenians" Or both sets of fans celebrating sectarian terrorist organisations such as the Provisional IRA or the UVF. Or displaying sectarian symbols. Or singing sectarian songs such as the "Famine Song", "The Billy Boys". "The Sash", "Come Out Ye Black & Tans", "The Men Behind the Wire" or "The Boys of the Old Brigade".
So there is a huge difference between celebrating a football club's culture and traditions and indulging in sectarian abuse.
What was on display at the end of today's game was sectarianism by Rangers fans wearing balaclavas associated with the troubles.
There are a lot of people who don't live up here who could do with educating themselves on the subject.
Matt. I think I have posted a considered reply and explained the difference between sectarianism an long standing historical ties. Instead of simply downvoting my post why not counter my argument?

I sometimes wonder if things have been made worse over the years because Celtic's colours reflect their Irish heritage.
Liverpool had similar sectarian issues to Glasgow in the early 20th century (and like Glasgow still has separate schools) but neither club were religiously exclusive. And my wife even remembers Orange marches when she was growing up in Liverpool in the 70s.
Admittedly, Hibs haven't gone down the sectarian route but I think the sectarian divide is much more a west of Scotland thing.
I also think that the Troubles probably made things worse, and it certainly is the case that Rangers draw a lot of their support from hardliners in Ulster.
Anyway, your reference to "Come Out Ye Black & Tans" and "The Men Behind the Wire" brought to mind the humorous Alan Partridge sketch involving an Alan Partridge look-alike who breaks out into those songs much to Partridge's horror.

He posted something this week about understanding lived experience.
Plenty of Irish people will agree with his post. Plenty will disagree. He assumes he can speak for other peoples lived experience.

That Partridge clip is great telly.
Our nearest primary school was built in the early 2000's when the council closed the local catholic and protestant schools. Although it was one building it had two different names, two seperate entrances and playgrounds for the Catholic and Protestant kids. Think this this only changed in the last couple of years.
