Celtic Soccer Crew: What the Hell Do We Care?

Product Information

The two mobs had a brief skirmish before the police stepped in and ejected the Hibs mob from the stadium. A joint force of Scottish casuals from Aberdeen, Hibernian, Dundee, Celtic, Falkirk, and Kilmarnock [46] clashed with English hooligan firms and police in and around Trafalgar Square from 6 until 9 p. A mob of Hibs casuals went to the match and were attacked by the ASC inside the ground, two Hibs boys were hospitalised. There were twelve people arrested and one man was treated for a head injury and another for a broken rib. Rodgers says there won’t be “wholesale changes” and he expects his team “to be full of speed and tempo”.

The CCS and ICF clashed before the game in a pre-arranged fight and running battles were fought around the Meadowbank and Jocks Lodge area. There was a fight outside the ground before the match involving Hibs casuals, later following on from a police investigation into the scuffle nine men were arrested. that evening a large scale disturbance took place in Glasgow Central Station, Hope Street and Gordon Street involving the CCS and Rangers casuals accompanied by Chelsea hooligans who brawled inside and outside the station. The police became aware of the presence of a large gang of Hibs casuals in the lower stand section of the stadium and escorted them into the front rows of seats for the match.This last fight involved the use of bottles, tables, chairs and knives as weapons resulting in injuries to members of each mob.

We are friends, I speak to him a lot, but now I have to make my own history and hopefully it's good like him.Members of the Baby Crew would be positioned with a line of sight on the exits from the station to enable them to determine what potential route visiting soccer crews would take and likely points where to confront the opposition. Celtic came into this after a frustrating draw at Easter Road, perhaps feeling the intensity of their schedule. On London Road the mobs fought again and the police arrested several Hibs boys whilst the ASC had sustained quite a few injuries. Their phenomenal start to the game was rewarded in the 21 st minute as Paul McStay and Frank McAvennie combined brilliantly, with the latter shooting past Andy Goram from 12 yards. After the match the CCS ambushed the Celtic Soccer Crew outside the ground and then once again at Waverley station.

the CCS appeared outside the Haymarket Bar and fought with police and the CSF as they exited the public house.At the final whistle the referee would not allow the Hibernian players to approach this section of the ground to applaud their fans. These individuals usually had a more rigorous initiation than normal as asides from the reservations of some CCS members they also had to prove their worth against the team that they were originally associated with.

Whilst the match was being played a small group of Manchester United hooligans along with some members of the CCS fought with an equally numbered gang of Cardiff City Soul Crew in Cardiff. Fighting broke out in the street between the opposing mobs which led to two Celtic boys receiving head injuries. Despite these reservations this group flourished and was never really dropped completely until 1988, though by then the women involved in it had taken on a more jocular approach to what they had participated in. The Celtic casuals let loose a volley of missiles one of which contained a CS gas type substance that dispersed mainly onto the Hibs boys.

Seven arrests were made on the day but through the use of CCTV footage and manpower of three police forces in Scotland dawn raids were carried out that garnered another 16 arrests. The said member had supplied the hooligan group with the missile that morning and the Celtic Soccer Crew would have seen an opportunity to earn a major coup against one of Britain’s most feared hooligan outfits.
