True, but the Irish aspect has been played down, certainly more than for Celtic, even though Celtic has slowly been trying to move away from it as well.
They did in the mid 90’s to early 00’s, but under the new owners, many people in Scotland would say that Celtic have re-pandered to their Irish roots (in a faux-Irish identity), and as such we have seen a resurgence of the faux-irish, pro-IRA drivel.
Under Fergus McCann, he tried to eliminate the pro-IRA songs and banners at matches, McCann was turned on at times and famously booed live on TV at a game at Celtic Park when he stated the IRA nonsense had no place at Celtic.
Celtic fans are adamant they have no sectarian problem, as they claim their IRA songs are ‘political’, an argument which almost everyone else sees as bunkum.
