Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has urged Celtic to go public and condemn supporters who displayed a pair of barbed banners in the wake of The Queen 's passing.
The first read “F*** the Crown” while another added “Sorry for your loss, Michael Fagan", as the display forced TV broadcasters BT Sport to issue an on-air apology during Ange Postecoglou 's side's 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk. The outspoken broadcaster didn't hold back in his loaded reaction on Thursday and has now called upon the Parkhead hierarchy to issue a message to what he has branded a protest "of the worst kind".
And Jordan reckons supporters who made their displeasure over the monarchy heard could end up scoring an own goal for other punters this season in the Champions League. Speaking on talkSPORT along with fellow pundit Martin Keown, he said: "It depends on what the rules allows them to do. It's a very sensitive subject, freedom of speech, which again, is the sentiment people that hide behind like to say abusive things, at times, will quote that as their right. If you want to praise something, I should be able to criticise something.
