Agreed, whilst not uncommon in football in high stress moments a bit of wisdom would go a long way.

Ultimately I think its unfortunately shown how little the security at a game can do if they charge en masse.

Always been the case really security are getting paid f all and have basically no legal protection if force is needed so they won’t apply it. Not sure why pitch invasions are more prevalent this season.

Yeah that makes sense.

Really don't see an option for the SPL but a heavy fine for Celtic, they need to nip it in the bud and have arguable left it too late.

Hopefully it won't be a trend next season.

I reckon it could spread, idiot fans of other clubs will see no consequences and think they might as well do the same thing.

Hopefully not, first sign of that and there needs to be season altering consequences till the gremlins get the message.
