Piers Morgan blasts Celtic fans for Rangers game chants

Piers Morgan has taken aim at Celtic fans for their anti-monarchy stance.

A large portion of the Hoops support voiced their views towards the Royal Family during the weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.

Renditions of "You can stick your coronation up your a***" were audible at various points throughout the Old Firm clash, which Ange Postecoglou's men won 1-0.

It comes as King Charles prepares for his official coronation this weekend on Saturday, May 6.

It's not the first time major sections of the Celtic support have voiced their disapproval of Britain's Head of State.

And Morgan has hit back at the Hoops fans who took part in such strong opposition to the King.

After airing a clip of the Celtic support at Hampden on Sunday, he said on TalkTV: "Well, utterly charming as ever of course from Celtic fans. 

"But that's what they've always been like towards our monarchy and I have a similar view of Celtic fans."
