With Lazio struggling in Serie A, Rodgers is still under no illusions about their quality, talking up their credentials in the Champions League this year. Currently, our vodka flavours correspond to team colours. We don't currently offer different flavours in different bottles, however we may offer this in the future. The flight home that night, you can imagine how we were all feeling. We ended up topping the group which was magic. It was very special, very unique. Only Celtic fans can do that. They sang and partied like it was the good old days.

Last week, the proposed return of alcohol to the stands of English football stadia was criticised by the sport’s police chief, who claimed it would be more costly for clubs and deter families from attending games.

Come back when you're older

Lord Arthurson spoke during a virtual hearing of the Court of Session in an action in which 22 former players have came forward seeking compensation for being sexually assaulted whilst playing for Celtic Boys Club. He said: “Lazio lost their league game at the weekend and haven’t won, I think, in three games but they have been very good in this competition. The Scottish Government supports the work of independent justice agencies to bring the perpetrators of sexual abuse, whenever such abuse may have occurred, to justice.”

Hoops fans were strongly advised by the Foreign Office not to wear their club colours while visiting Rome after Celtic’s 2-1 win in Glasgow. To make it even worse, the sponsorship was a joint sponsorship with Rangers, so both sides had CR Smith emblazoned on their shirts. CR Smith has actually been a good loyal sponsor to Celtic. Even once Rangers changed to McEwans Lager, CR Smith returned to sponsor Celtic. During the 1997 summer tour, there was a gap period between the change in sponsors, and so as people had by now got so used to having a sponsor’s name on the shirt, Celtic’s sponsors for these games were “ Celtic FC“! After losing home and away to Celtic in the 2019-20 Europa League group stages, Lazio won 2-1 at Celtic Park on matchday two of this season's Champions League.A repeat of their 2019 heroics here could yet salvage a European season that looked to be heading for the scrapyard ahead of the home game with Feyenoord in 15 days’ time.

The Sports Bar at Celtic Park has been hugely popular with supporters on matchdays since it opened in October, and we are delighted that the new bar will now be open to everyone at weekends! There have been lots of players who maybe haven’t had the opportunity they would like but when you get it you have to be ready to take it." Celtic fans that attended Saturday’s win over Ross County were able to enjoy a pre-match pint at Celtic Park after the Scottish Premiership club was granted a licence to sell alcohol in the West Stand concourse. Spotlight is demanding that the Scottish Government 'do the right thing' and open an independent inquiry into the abuse in Scottish football - something they have refused to do. After all, it is the game that Macpherson has been asked about more than any other in his long and distinguished media and broadcast career spanning over 40 years covering Scottish football.The sale of alcohol is allowed at football grounds in England and Wales, although fans are not able to drink while watching the game. Supporters visiting the West Stand concourse ahead of the match were able to enter via Gate WS57/58 to enjoy the facilities until 1pm. The area was then cleared, with supporters able to re-enter the stadium via turnstiles as normal from 1:30pm. It says that they have found almost 40 boys who have since died due to suicide, violence or addiction whose names and ages could match former players - 13 of those are confirmed to have played under paedophiles employed by Celtic FC or Celtic Boys Club. The father of two sadly took his own life in 2013, and his family say they are in 'no doubt the abuse is what lay behind it.' We are unable to publish most of the names as many of those involved have never been officially identified as victims and some families could be unaware of the abuse their children suffered.

Although Lazio came out on top in the reverse fixture at Celtic Park, it seems the Scottish champions managed to make an impression on their Italian opposition. In a historic sense, it was a media platform. I am not saying I began to pontificate but I did make some comments economically and in the aftermath of it and the long aftermath of it, I ended up writing a book about it. It brought it to the fore for a lot of people who were getting complacent about our society and the divisions within it. Alcohol sponsorship is not well admired admittedly across the globe, and in some countries (e.g. France) alcohol sponsorship is banned from sport. Celtic have thus played with sponsor free strips in matches in France in European competition. In Kazakhstan in 2013, Celtic replaced their alcohol sponsor with a mineral water brand owned by the same sponsor to avoid the local alcohol sponsorship ban. In 2015, Celtic replaced the ‘Magners Cider’ sponsor with the “Celtic Charity Foundation” for the match v Stjarnan in the European Cup qualifiers, and then in 2022 all of Celtic’s away matches in the Champions League were agreed to use the “Celtic FC Foundation” as a sponsor. The bottom line is that due to the highly competitive international football market and Celtic’s limited avenues for income, the club has limitations to what they can avoid. Barcelona were praised for having a charity sponsor with Unicef, but that was only for one season and was to placate criticism as they transitioned to allowing corporate sponsorship on their jerseys. Taking in their ballooning debt, they had no choice but to concede and allow shirt sponsorship.L told the review that he was unprepared for this and did not know how to respond and so brushed this off and changed the subject. I get goosebumps thinking about it. When you've been a supporter and a player, you know how big it is. You know the ripples are going to go around Europe. You're going to get a bit of respect here. This is where we want Celtic to be. Paul said: “We’ve been visible because of the strips and we’ve been approached by people who support other tems, all friendly banter. A few guys have shouted ‘forza Lazio’ but it’s been low key so far.” Paul Flynn, 19, travelled from Kirkintilloch with student pals Peter Martin, Brendan Reid, Michael Hand and Ciaran Milarvie. Liam Scales hopes Celtic offer him a new contract despite the 25-year-old centre-half's performances this season leading to links with other clubs. (Glasgow Evening Times)
