Respect our own Supporters and Club.

I was at a very cold Stair Park in Stranraer yesterday to watch Celtic progress to the next round of the Scottish Cup with a reasonably comfortable 3-0 win; the sad thing is the headlines arent about football.
Ive said on here before, and i have the full backing of our member branches, the use of pyrotechnics needs to stop, and it needs to stop right away.
I was only yards away from the area where they seemed to be coming from yesterday, the people around me were like me of the senior variety, and all were of the opinion that it was unacceptable; in fact there were a few angry words exchanged.
The dangers to our own supporters alone make it unacceptable. We have many travelling supporters who suffer from respiratory problems; a lot of which were caused by many years working in shipyards and down mines; they deserve to be respected.
As this is an SFA authority tournament we will probably face a fine or sanctions of some form as well. A fantastic reputation built up over many years is being torn down by a small minority of our fans.
I really dont know who is using the pyrotechnics; but Im asking; for the benefit of our own fans to please stop
