CELTIC manager Ronny Deila has expressed his disappointment after some fans disrupted a Remembrance Sunday silence ahead of their 2-1 victory over Aberdeen.

The minute of reflection, which remembers British servicemen and women who have died in conflicts since the First World War began 100 years ago, was quickly interrupted by some fans shouting and singing from the visiting section at Aberdeen’s Pittodrie Stadium.

Some Celtic supporters tried to shout the protesters down and noise was evident throughout the 60 seconds, just before the Scottish Premiership game kicked off.

Norwegian manager Deila said: “That was disappointing.

“But again 99 per cent was good. Sometimes some people are not respectful.

“It’s very, very important for Celtic to be respectful.”

Celtic FC Foundation, the club’s charity organisation, this week donated Ł10,000 to Poppyscotland and carried a story on their website detailing the Celtic players who died during the First World War.

The issue has proved controversial in the past, with a group of Celtic fans staging a banner protest against the “blood-stained poppy on our hoops” when the club strip carried the symbol for a game four years ago.

Having now watched the clip from today ...disgusting behaviour from the minority once again ...shame on them .

Maybe they ought to take a minute and ask themselves if they would be living in a society where you are free to make that choice if it weren't for those who lost their lives in the past.

I think it's kind of different with Celtic and Rangers. Everybody knows what they are about, the history, the politics. They aren't football clubs, they are institutions. If you support Celtic you are going to get labelled a certain way just as if you support Rangers. Until fan groups of both clubs say they've had enough and cut it out of their club ethos then even "honest" fans who only support them because their da does or because it actually is their local team are going to get caught up in it. Both clubs even play on it, Celtic are forever slapping Irish tricolour's on their jerseys and the Rangers third kit this season sports half a Union flag. You could have seen this incident coming a mile off.

There's a 30 odd page topic on a main a Celtic forum right now about it, some people are embarrassed about it but a lot of people are delighted with it. Here's just a few examples.


'**** the British army and their silence.

Up the rebels.'


'I am scottish and have no affinity with Ireland. I don't look out for the ROI score or hope they do well in tournaments. I understand it part of our roots but apart from that I have zero affection for the irish.

However...all this fake outrage over a few wideos from people who are ****ing DYING for this to happen is ****ing disgusting.

Why the **** SHOULD they be told what to do. Their money is the same as anyone elses so if yhey dont want to show respect then thats up to them.

****ing stupid to have war and football mixed together. I can picture Aberdeen rubbing their hands at the lovely trap they've set the stupid fenians.

I used to feel a bit embarrassed when our fans broke the silence. Now I really could not give a **** if they do.

**** the huns and their fake celebrations of war and good on our support for refusing to be manipulated.'


'Not by choice as the majority of Celtic fans do not want to be British'

'Oh how I long for the days when we had collections for the hunger strikers outside the ground and the whole stadium belted out A Soldiers Song with pride.

What the hell is happening to our great club?'

Fking hell - What an illuminating post. Scary to realise how deep and convoluted this is.

I would honestly never break a minutes silence, out of respect.. but honestly I don't see why everyone is overreacting and saying that they should die etc.
