There is one piece of transfer business that almost every Celtic fan is in agreement over- getting a club bus.Â
Most of the big clubs in England have their own customised bus, in Scotland Aberdeen and Dundee United roll upto grounds across the country proudly showing off their colours.Â
At Celtic the issue is more delicate than elsewhere. For reasons that the hierarchy have never gone into Celtic travel with and promote Parks of Hamilton to and from every match.Â
Parks of course are owned by Douglas who just happens to be the chairman at Ibrox, one of the club’s biggest investors, a man with deep pockets to maintain a challenge to Celtic for every domestic honour.Â
Whether Celtic pay for the service or not isn’t known but at every turn they are seen to be promoting one of the firms helping a rival at every turn.Â
Another issue that concerns some fans is security. Most buses will be fitted with cameras, it isn’t ridiculous to think that someone inside Park gets early team news such as on Sunday when Callum McGregor, Tony Ralston, Greg Taylor, Scott Bain and Joe Hart are missing as the team set off for Perth.Â
Should Celtic ditch their Parks of Hamilton deal?
Yes, shouldn't even be a question
No, stand by a loyal partner
Should Celtic have their own buses instead of Parks?#celtic https://t.co/bWNirbw29q

Absolutely 100%right question is why they don’t.

Considering they won’t let players wear green boots ,why would any organisation give money to its rival …….typical of this board unfortunately ????

If often thought about why we do this and the only legit reason I can come up with is we signed a deal with them for a number of years.

Park supplies his buses to us free of charge. He hates us, so I’ve no idea why we would want anything to do with him. Suppose ‘free of charge’ is music to out useless board’s ears!!

It’s a disgrace! Pure and simple and none this lawell pish ” dont want to be petty”! As he said before rather players walked! That used that bigots buses!
Shows we are run by an old aloof Irishman granted a wealthy one but if he was ever ambitious for our club we had a new purpose built main standt to complete the stadium years ago then it be a true world class one only one in this place even as it us! But could be a true one!
And have 2 or 3 if our own buses another excuse clown shoes used for not having one! It’s actuallywworse than the old regime cause that Irishman has money though we see nothing of it !
Or need to but it deems him untouchable in his mind and that joke of a board! Need to oust this lot a charltans
We should hand contract to Eaveway coaches from Wigan
Superb coaches I believe they supply man u
P.lawwell only thinks of himself and of course the board of Torys that are on it every celtic fan dreamed of 10inarow and our board went backwards to help sevco stop it thats how much the blue pounds means to our board plus peter signed the 5way agreement that board are a disgrace especially in 1994 when mr ebt Murray tryed to kill off our club for good and yet that board are doing everything they can to help the biggest cheats in Scottish football rfc 1872 liquidated 2012 so i wonder whos corrupt in our game is it sfa.spfl.the ranjurs our maybe celtic eh.
Most of the top clubs have their own coaches or lease them and have the team colours on them why can’t celtic do the same . Regarding the board and Desmond a bunch of rich men pretending to like football most of them likley rugby men or golfing fans plus like lots of our money they and the bigots have played on the fans hatred of each other for decades blue pound/green pound both bad as each other money is the main factor 100%.
Wow the brand is Scotland
I have had to grow up with it, nothing anyone can txt will change it now either take an option or take it as life, there is only 1 option in my own opinion
Starve the sfa , have a nice new year when it arrives, buses come and go.
A think they’re a Masonic link between Douglas and certain members of the Celtic board that keeps that deal in place
