'Incredible', 'blatant corruption' - Celtic fans react to 'tricks behind the scenes'

Celtic fans are hugely disappointed by their post-Christmas fixture list.

Football Insider has been gathering the reaction of Hoops fans after the announcement of their matches following the Christmas break.

The Celts travel to Dundee on Boxing Day for their first game after the holiday.

The fixture marks the seventh year in a row that the Glasgow giants are playing away from home on 26 December.

As quoted by Clyde 1 (27 October), manager Brendan Rodgers alluded to something untoward going on with whoever is making the fixtures suggesting the Hoops are either “very, very unlucky” or “someone is making tricks behind the scenes”.

Fans have been surprised by the positioning of the Celtic fixtures.

But one supporter insisted the Hoops will be “12 points ahead” by the time the Boxing Day games roll around so the fixtures won’t be an issue.

Another hailed the manager for questioning the “blatant corruption” in Scottish football.

A fellow supporter was also impressed with Rodgers’ comments.

One couldn’t believe claims that the fixtures are “randomly generated”.

One claimed that it is “fixture fixing” from Scottish chiefs.

One supporter claimed it was in order to get the Hoops on TV instead of their Glasgow rivals.

Another claimed Celtic don’t need fixtures to go their way to come out on top at the end of the season.

Another was in the same boat and although they couldn’t believe the fixture list, insisted the Hoops will still come out on top.
