Rangers, Airdrie and Falkirk fans travel to London to cause trouble


It was widely predicted that there would be crowd trouble when Celtic played Chelsea, largely due to the neo-fascist elements that have followed Chelsea for years. How sad that they should be joined by Scots - no doubt neo-fascist Scots - who seem intent on damaging Celtic's reputation driven only by hatred.

A report from a Chelsea fan site gives details:

"The Chelsea supporters were joined by others from Millwall, Glasgow Rangers, Airdrie Utd and Falkirk who were there to take part in trouble on a scale that had not been seen around Chelsea for many years."

"Following the game, the Fulham Rd was shut until 11.30 pm until Police were able to clear away the Chelsea supporters who had gathered to try to attack the Celtic fans. Under Police guidance, the visitors were escorted back to Fulham Broadway underground station.

"Although the Police had hoped to get the Celtic fans away quietly, they were kept busy as Chelsea supporters boarded trains at Parsons Green to try to get to the Hoops via the underground system, thereby evading the Police cordons that had blocked off the back roads leading to the Fulham Rd."
