Michael Nicholson has no idea how glass ended up in Joe Hart’s penalty box at Ibrox in April.
The first 45 minutes of the match had been eventful with Celtic leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Tom Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers in front of the Copland Road Stand.
The first half finished as scheduled with no issues in that goalmouth.
When Joe Hart came out for the start of the second half he noticed that there was glass around the penalty area and brought the issue to the attention of Willie Collum.
The referee delayed the start of the second half by five minutes but no explanation or investigation was carried out into a very series incident.
There are no pictures or video clips of bottles being thrown onto the pitch at half-time although, as usual at all matches. Staff members of the home club forked the goal-mouth and replaced divots.
Covering the AGM, The Sun (12.54) reports:
The next question relates to the broken glass which made its way onto Joe Hart’s goalmouth and delayed the re-start of April’s Old FIrm match at Ibrox.
Nicholson is asked: “How did the glass get into the penalty box?”
He replies: “An investigation was carried out. We received an apology. Not sure how the glass ended up on the pitch.”
The fan responds: “No CCTV ? That’s a poor show”
Nicholson says “I was told there was no CCTV and agree it’s a poor show.”
Celtic return to Ibrox on January 2.
Wonder what happened to their super duper; https://www.digitalsecuritymagazine.com/en/2018/02/27/tecnologia-dallmeier-para-proteger-el-estadio-de-los-rangers-fc/
Police Scotland should ask the German company if the footage is backed up on a server somewhere. I’m totally disgusted by the attitude of the scumbags that inhabit the asbestos dome.
