Falkirk demand action after Ibrox fans create carnage

Ibrox fans brought chaos and violence to the Falkirk Stadium yesterday alongside their usual racist songbook.

Ian Crocker of Sky Sports didn’t apologise to viewers about the songs. If a swear word is overheard at St Mirren he almost chokes getting his apology out.

Away fans at Falkirk are allocated just under half of the North Stand, around 750 tickets.

Ibrox fans made themselves known in the other section of the North Stand with Police Scotland and stewards refusing to take any action.

That led to several incidents, especially during the second half.

Falkirk have prided themselves on putting their own fans first with tickets this season. Yesterday the club and authorities didn’t want to apply their own ground rules.

The Falkirk Supporters Society published a short statement on the issue, it is now upto their Board of Directors to ensure the safety of their own supporters.

Sunday was five weeks after Celtic’s Scottish Cup win at Ibrox.

The fixture where Celtic players and staff were physically attacked on the pitch. Where a flare was fired into the Celtic fans in the Broomloan Road Stand.

SCOTTISH CUP CHAOS AT IBROX- NOTHING TO SEE HERE

In typical fashion the SFA have say back and made statements about enquiries.

It has been reported that 12 arrests have been made. There is plenty of video coverage from Premier Sports and BBC Scotland that could be used to identify those on the pitch and committing acts of violence.

It isn’t known if the Ibrox CCTV was switched off after the match.

Despite those scenes and the attacks on club employees it seems that Celtic are keen to provide 2,500 away tickets for the Glasgow Derby on May 10.

Celtic will have no say in how those tickets are distributed.

Raising the away allocation for his cherished ‘O** F***’ fixture is about the only achievement on Michael Nicholson’s CV.

Naturally the club CEO hasn’t commented on the attacks on employees at Ibrox on March 8.

On May 16 Danny Rohl’s side are back at Falkirk, there is an expectation among home fans that no tickets should be given to the away support.
