There is one piece of transfer business that almost every Celtic fan is in agreement over- getting a club bus.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
