http://theshamrockglasgow.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/political-football-no-1-celtic-fc-and-the-campaign-for-irish-home-rule/ Interesting piece. I don't know that all the assumptions i agree with but interesting nonetheless.
It's interesting that a football club that had nothing to do with Irish politics or the Republican struggle would engage with some of their famous participants
Jock and Cesar seem very pleased, maybe proud, to be showing the spoils of their greatest victory off to one the the major violent Irish Republicans of the 21st century as far as I can make out.
Pud, you think it's the end of it? Are the Scottish authorities saying that it is a criminal offence for supporters to fly the flag of Ireland, a friendly neighbour? If it's past tense then the PLC have to come out and say they are cutting all ties with the Irish connection, taking our flag off the stadium for starters.
So, can you recognise that Irish Republicanism, whether you like it or not, is part of Celtics history...past tense?
