Scottish fans continue to insult the memory of Elizabeth II

A scandal continues in the Scottish Premier League over the unwillingness of some fans to respect the memory of the deceased Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

UEFA will conduct an investigation into the conduct of Scottish Celtic fans and may face disciplinary action against the team. At the match of the group stage of the Champions League with the Ukrainian Shakhtar, Celtic fans hung out banners insulting the memory of the queen, about which wrote “MK”.

“Please be advised that a disciplinary case has been filed against Celtic over a banner displayed during their UEFA Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk on 14 September in Warsaw. The UEFA disciplinary bodies will decide on this matter in due course,” UEFA said in a statement.

At the same time, it became known that the technical staff of the Sky Sports television company, which broadcasts the matches of the Scottish Premier League, received firm instructions to block the display of disrespect for the memory of the Queen in every possible way. The thing is that not only Celtic’s clinics have come up with similar promotions in recent days.

Part of the Hearts fans whistled loudly and shouted “f *** the Queen” during a minute of silence at the home match against Turkish side Istanbul in the UEFA Conference League. The game took place on the evening of September 8, the day the Queen died.

Before the start of the match between Rangers and Dundee United on 17 September, Dundee fans whistled and chanted “Lizzie’s in a box” during a moment of silence.

In this regard, the leadership of the Scottish Premier League is forced to take additional security measures.

Celtic’s next match in the Scottish Premier League is against St Mirren on 18 September. According to The Daily Mail, Sky Sports’ production staff have already been warned that they may need to periodically mute the TV broadcast of this match.

It is feared that some Celtic fans who have followed their team to the city of Paisley will sing insulting songs at the late Queen. Because of this, St Mirren’s management has already announced that the usual minute of silence before the match will be replaced by applause to drown out the expected chants and shouts from the Celtic fans.
