“Scottish press at it’s finest” ,”Social media is dangerous” – Celtic fans react to Martin Compston statement

Celtic Park

I was going to write about this yesterday before it broke in the Scottish media.

But the Martin Compston story is one that the Scottish media have enjoyed splashing across their front pages over the last couple of days.

It retaliation to the reports in the media, Compston reacted on social media:

On the Glasgow Celtic Supporters page, the fans reacted to Compstons statement:

Rosemary Lucas: “Scottish press at it’s finest! Nothing to write about their beloved Sons of William, so they just make up stories. Unfortunately, their lies will be believed by those who choose to and in the meantime, an honest man’s reputation is in jeopardy! Only way to hit these cretins is in the pocket. Just refuse to buy their garbage masquerading as journalism!”

Thomas Taylor: “Well said Martin don’t listen to the zombie sectarian vermin.”

Fred Mcmillan: “Don’t let the b**tards gt tae you mate.”

Katie Waterson Cairns: “I’m here at the convention and can tell u he did not sing sectarian songs – Scottish media at its best 😡

Joe McGinniss: “Even if they were singing say boys of the old brigade there’s nothing sectarian or bigoted about it.

The only issue with racism and bigotry Scotland has is that the mere notion of people of Irish heritage celebrating key events in Irish history is enough to send racists and bigots into a moral panic.”

Natalie Anderson: “Social media is a dangerous thing one of his own videoing him and then it has totally blown up everywhere.

An innocent fan enjoying Vegas and the cause of all of this unintentionally 💚 hopefully it doesn’t cause him any great detriment with all of the good causes he is involved in! Such a nice guy xx.”

No doubt it was unfortunate that Compston was caught in the middle of this furore and the Celtic fans should know better than to change the lyrics to the song because they know how the media would react to this story.

Let’s hope the outrage those from Ibrox feel about this will help them revise their own songbook for next season……..
