Ah well fuck um both!
Being Irish Mase, you're force fed that Celtic are for all intents and purposes., an Irish Club , by proxy. But they're not. They're Scottish. They have their roots in Irish immigrants, but I could never take to throwing my support behind them.
For me the two of them Rangers and Celtic are so sectarian that I really couldn't have an interest in either, whatever my background was.
I used to hate seeing Celtic jerseys at an Ireland match and have argued with those that do it through the years. They always come back with the same shite, that it's the same. It's not. It's no different to some assholes turning up with Rags Jerseys on.
I've seen that too, but they quite rightly got dogs abuse.
I don't dislike Celtic but hate all the phoney Irish Nationalism baggage that goes with them. But I suspect thst that's worse with their Irish fanbase than it is in Scotland itself.
