Good Grief. just when you think you have seen it all something stranger than fiction crops up. Strathclydes finest (the best police force money can buy) after a six month investigation have reported Celtic keeper Artur Boruc to the procurator fiscal for "Blessing" himself during a football match.
The world view of Scotland as an intolerant hate filled country has taken a leap forward and the "One Scotland many cultures" campaign has taken a step backwards after this nonsense.
In the late eighties Celtic were asked to curtail from making "signs of the cross" during games and even when running onto the pitch. This was done because the players at the time used this to inflame the hatred that it brings out in a large section of the Bigotted Rangers support and in truth these gestures if a player felt the need could just as easily have been done in the tunnel.
Times have moved on though and with Glasgow Rangers having several players in their team who "bless themselves" the time when this gesture offended people seemed long gone. But alas No. the Ibrox bigots complained about Boruc and in a day when there are crimes to solve, children being abused, and pensioners being terrorised the Masonic minded Strathclyde police have decided to spend six months investigating this trivial manner.
A lot of Celtic supporters including myself thing that Artur may indeed have been winding up the huns and I can't in all honestly say It doesn't amuse me but the huge reaction by these bigots has reached new heights and is mostly a tit for tat response because of their recent act of shaming Scotland and being warned by Uefa.
It could probably only happen in Glasgow where the vast majority of Rangers fans are perceived to be actively anti everything and instead of promoting their own beliefs they actively try to suppress the beliefs of others. While one team says Hail Hail the other continues to say Heil Heil.
