The RMT union has responded to the backing they got from Celtic fans at the home match with Aberdeen.
Led by banners from the Green Brigade thousands of fans chanted their support during a national rail strike and their opposition to the Tory Government.
The strike meant that there were no after match services from Dalmarnock Station but Celtic fans are more interested in the bigger picture that temporary inconveniences.
Top work!

During the summer months RMT chief Mick Lynch has become a national figure and hero as he speaks up for workers while highlighting the greed and tactics of corporate UK Plc.
Tory MPs have been torn apart when they have braved it to sit in the same studio as Lynch with the prejudices and agendas of folk like Piers Morgan and Kaye Burnley have been destroyed by the arguments and delivery of Lynch.

any working class person voting for the Tories need their head look at they want striking banned completely our national health put into American private health insurance our schools are in poor repair roads terrible utilities gas electric companies making record profits oil companies ripping us off and we have 2 halfwits hoping to become PM and more of the hard right government labour not much better what a mess the uk is in can only get worse .
Of course it wont happen BUT, if Celtic FC supporters had a choice between Mick Lynch and our previous CEO, the treacherous PT Lawwell to become Chairman when the useless hun Bankier goes, I’d be surprised if Mick Lynch got less than 100% backing.
WELL DONE yet again by The Green Brigade in standing up for true Celtic values.
I suspect Mick Lynch is not a true reflection of the GMT Union workers. He is a figure-head, convenient because of his political opinions. I suspect Scotrail Scotland is mostly a closed-shop run by Masons and Orangerers. e.g. He represents Train Drivers who could hardly be working class. A job for life, no minimum entrance qualifications, earnings of £2000 per week wages with overtime once “Qualified”, a guaranteed pension on retirement and lifetime free rail travel for you and your spouse. If that’s working class, what about professions who must have a degree? A Teacher, once they become “Permanent” will earn c. £35 000 currently with all necessary overtime unpaid. Don’t give me “Working Class” crap. Go and get educated and a job where you can make a difference to society and other people. Train Drivers are greedy – for themselves! And the Green Brigade have swallowed it wholly for them!
Editpr: Whether you are earning £35,000 as a teacher, £50,000 as a train driver you are working class- you work to pay the bill and have a midest/decent lifestyle.
There are a lot of jealousies, created. Folk earning £35,000 or £50,000 a year are in the same boat, vastly different to Michelle Moan and Dido Harding as they extract as much as they can for no apparent reason/use.
You are not Working Class if, like a Teacher, you have a degree and are educated because then you are contributing to society in more that one way. You are actually Middle-Class!
Education give wisdom which is imparted into the society which you work in, along with topical work that you do. Look, what do people, e.g. the Huns, who may have a job but no education input to society? Ignorance which has resulted in The Famine Song, Anti-Irish Racism, One Hundred Bigotry, Orangeism, Generic Unruly Public Behaviour.
A RMT worker (Train Driver) is not educated and minimally skilled. His/her skills are not transferrable. They are contributing minimally in a vocational sense to society and they are getting nearly three times the renumeration of for example – a Teacher who has a degree of education. Train Drivers are Operatives, who basically take us to work and home again but can routinely earn thrice what the people they are delivering to their workplace are earning!
They are greedy because they are striking for five per-cent on top of this. Nurses should earn more than Train Drivers for the work they do, but do they?
