Simon Jordan has slammed Celtic fans over the banners they unveiled mocking the Queen during the club’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw. On banner said “F*** the Crown” while another said “Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan,” a reference to the intruder who broke into the late monarch’s Buckingham Palace bedroom.
But while the no-nonsense radio pundit hit out at the Hoops legions, he doesn’t believe the Parkhead side should face any action from UEFA in the way Rangers could be for their tribute to Her Majesty because Celtic couldn’t control the actions of their supporters.
Jordan addressed the contrast in the actions from fans of the fierce rivals to the passing last week of the monarch with fans belting out God Save the King at Ibrox as Rangers chiefs defied UEFA orders not to play the national anthem and a section of the Celtic support displayed anti-royalist banners and chanted during their 1-1 draw in the Polish capital.
