In all my time as a Celtic fan watching European football, I can't believe what I've witnessed from a large part of that team's fans.
Now I'm protestant and don't follow all this sectarian nonsense that goes on, but although I hate it I know that it is just going to raise it's head in Scotland and I'd say even in part to certain Irish teams that could encounter the Old Firm.
However in the last two head-to-head's I've never seen/heard so much bile from a European team, now I can undertand the 'Rangers' / 'Celtic' chants, but the 'The Sash' and 'The Famine Song', just begers belief.
I question anyone with these issues, however even more so we have a German team with fans who have Union Jack's splattered all over, and there was even a stand with fans doing a Union Jack emblem and even worse was a huge "No Surrender" banner..................now as well as being terribly sectarian, the intelligence factor doesn't seem to be in much abundance in Hamburg as far as I'm aware Britain's army kinda kicked German butt in the past 2 wars and the 'No Surrender' is linked also to the British Army. I'm just a bit mystified why the Rangers fans and Hamburg fans who got together didn't give us 'God Save the Queen', 'Rule Brittania' and their own favourite 'Dambusters'.................yes, that'd be those big plane things that blew half of Germany up.
As the English presenter (think it was Ray Stubbs) said, I hope that Germany doesn't escape the wrath of UEFA who took sanctions against Rangers for similar incidents.
