Peter Lawwell praised the celtic fans at th clubs AGM but tempered his praise by warning that fans singing certain songs at away games would be targetted by the club. Lawwell said

"I believe our supporters are second to none. It's not just a boast - we can substantiate it through the awards they received from FIFA and UEFA. There is, however, a very small proportion of our away support who offensively chant songs that are contrary to what the club stands for. It embarrasses the club, it is unacceptable and we have a very firm plan to stamp it out. We do not want to be categorised as a club that has a sectarian problem. UEFA are very, very serious about this. There will be some sporting or financial sanctions on the club if we don't address it."


Celtic at last are coming of age and it looks like we have eventually moved with the times. Well said Peter
