Nicola Sturgeon misses out the R-word as she condemns O** F*** match
There was one very significant word missing as Nicola Sturgeon put on her frown and condemned the acts of violence at Sunday’s Glasgow derby.
The First Minister managed to crack a joke about being an Ayr United fan but like so many in authority there is a an eight letter word that they find difficult to mention when they are apportioning blame.
It stars with an R and ends in angers.
Yesterday broken glass was thrown at a Celtic goalkeeper, a physiotherapist had his head split by a glass bottle. An outfield player had a container/glass/object thrown at him as he took a corner.
There were 700 Celtic fans inside Ibrox yesterday, none of the incidents above came from their section of the ground.
Everyone else inside Ibrox was either a Season Ticket holder or bought tickets through the My Gers membership scheme. The club has bank details for all of them.
After the match there was no comment from the home club, the SFA and SPFL.
Equally shameful is the fact that the First Minister for Scotland wouldn’t mention by name the fans that caused yesterday’s incidents that featured on the news UK-wide. Scotland’s Shame isn’t confined to Ibrox.
Douglas Ross, Murdo Fraser and Anas Sarwar seem to have fallen silent.
? “It’s mindless, thuggish behaviour.”

Any chance you could actually report the facts of where the missiles were thrown from or is there a fear you’ll alienate your demographic?

Wrote this properly for you “Numerous missiles including glass bottles thrown by Rangers fans throughout the Glasgow derby yet again, this time causing severe injury to a professional in the course of his employment. The SPFL must close this stadium until they learn to behave.”
