I feel dirty typing this, but seems that Rangers fans have actually been fairly well-behaved at Fir Park. The stairways mostly clear, no reported damage, no pitch invasions (since the play-off). I'd be in favour of giving Celtic the upper tier only and bill them for loss of revenue from the empty seats. We'll stop billing them and open the lower tier when their fans learn how to behave themselves.

That's my impression as well. We all know the behaviour of some Rangers fans  has been unsavoury  and  menacing in the past, like the  infamous riot at FP in 1978 because they were 2-0 down and looking at a hiding,  and many other violent incidents over the years, including in Manchester after the UEFA Final in 2008.

That  said, the behaviour of a section of Celtic fans seems to have deteriorated the more they have dominated the Scottish game in the last 15 years and the growth of the Green Brigade is a toxic phenomenon which shows  an arrogant sense of entitlement and  sense of impunity which we can see transfers to the club itself with its recent desperate attempts to justify/deny the indefensible after last Wednesday and Saturday.

Unfortunately, we're stuck with them both because  to admit them to the English Premiership would be suicidal for it, even if it were possible.

Until there is a real will shown by  the  police, SG and Scottish football authorities to restore order, fairness and sporting integrity to our game, nothing will change. I wonder  also how many of our "new" supporters will have been put off by these recent events, despite the best efforts of our manager, players and club generally?
