Scottish media finally wake up to the carnage awaiting Seville

The Scottish media is starting to face up to the international carnage that is likely in Seville next week. 

Last year’s events in George Square were domestically sidelined with BBC, STV and Sky Sports all deciding to keep their cameras away from the vandalism in and around the city centre. News management and deflection next week will be impossible. 

Putting 60,000 Ibrox fans, more than half of them ticketless, in to a civilised city with the same number of German visitors with temperatures in the high thirties has the portents for more than a perfect storm. 

With right-wing elements from throughout England teaming up with undesirables from Bridgeton, Larkhall, Airdrie, Bearsden, Kilwinning and pockets from the north east corner of Ireland it doesn’t take a security expert to anticipate the likely outcome. 

Soaring temperatures and sky-high ticket prices mixed with their misplaced Superiority Complex and Brexit is a potent brew. One that Stewart Robertson is well aware of. 

The Ibrox MD knows the toxic nature of his customer base. While pleading with the Spanish authorities to roll out the red carpet with fan-zones and big screens he wouldn’t dare open Ibrox for those left behind. 

Anyone doubting the threat from Ibrox Season Ticket holders should contact BT Sport or Chris Sutton. 

From Monday Robertson and the Scottish media lose control of the story. The horrors that were inflicted on Glasgow city centre twice during lockdown last year are about to be exported with the numbers involved far, far greater in a classical Spanish city.
