Saranno almeno 2200 i supporters dei Rangers Glasgow ( foto ) che seguiranno la squadra nell’ inutile trasferta di Siviglia, essendo i campioni di Scozia già fuori dai giochi, e scatta l’allarme rosso visti i precedenti in occasione delle trasferte europee di Villareal,Manchester e Bucarest. Il club di “Ibrox” infiltrerà tra i tifosi una decina di appartenenti al proprio staff di sicurezza i quali viaggeranno mischiati tra i tifosi muniti di telecamere nascoste. La società precisa che questi soggetti non filmeranno solo eventuali comportamenti violenti dei fans ospiti ma anche quelli sopra le righe da parte di agenti, stewards e supporters di casa. Il Celtic, invece, sta per affrontare l’ Hapoel Tel Aviv e la società ha lanciato un appello alla tifoseria chiedendo di non sventolare bandiere palestinesi che potrebbero essere sanzionate dall’ UEFA. Un sostenitore del Wigan è stato arrestato ed interrogato con l’accusa di avere rivolto insulti discriminatori alla madre dell’attaccante del Sunderland Bent.Il giovane è, poi, stato rilasciato ma verrà processato il prossimo 12 febbraio. Il Manchester United e l’ Aston Villa, imponendosi rispettivamente su Tottenham ( 2-0 ) e Portsmouth (4-2) proseguiranno il loro cammino in “Carling Cup”; nei “Red Devils” si è segnalata l’ ottima prestazione del giovane Gibson, andato anche a segno.

 

Exclusive: Rangers security staff to use head-mounted spycams to prevent trouble in Seville

Dec 1 2009 Keith Mcleod

RANGERS officials with spycams on their heads will travel with fans to the club’s Champions League match in Seville next week.It is a bid by the club to ensure there is no trouble after disturbances between fans and riot police at previous away games.Last night, Ibrox insiders insisted the move was NOT to spy on their own fans despite UEFA chiefs losing patience with the travelling Rangers support

Rangers have already been fined almost £18,000 in this season’s Champions League for crowd disorder in Bucharest for the match with Romanian champions Unirea.Any trouble in Seville on December 9 could see Rangers ordered to close a stand or even the whole of Ibrox in their next home European tie.Ten official club stewards will mingle with the 2200 fans who will travel to Spain. Six police liaison officers will also travel with the fans.Most of the official club stewards will have headcam equipment fitted – and four of them are Spanish speakers.The club revealed it was not the first time the headcam plan had been used for an away European tie – though they declined to say when.A delegation of fans travelling to Seville have met the club’s head of security Kenny Scott and Jim Hannah, the supporters’ liaison manager – and backed the spycam plan.A club spokeswoman said: “It must be emphasised that these cameras are not in place to spy on supporters but to assist with general safety.”

Celtic said the match was not the place to hold a political demonstration

Celtic Football Club has opposed calls from a union body for its fans to wave Palestinian flags at Wednesday’s match with Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv.

The Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) has asked supporters to “show solidarity with suffering Palestinians” at the Europa League game in Glasgow.In a statement, Celtic said it was “extremely concerned” at the request.The club said a crowded match was not the place for a public demonstration which could compromise safety.Last week, STUC deputy general secretary Dave Moxham said a demonstration at the game was justified.He said: “This December marks the one year anniversary of the Israeli invasion of Gaza in which 1,400 men, women and children were killed in an act described by the United Nations as ‘indicating serious violations of international human rights’ and ‘amounting to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity’.

No matter the rights and wrongs of any cause, a crowded football match is not the place for a public demonstration Celtic FC

“Israel also continues to flout international law through its illegal occupation, through increasing settlements and building its so-called security wall which separates Palestinians, family from family and community from community.”Mr Moxham said millions around the world would be watching when Hapoel Tel Aviv visited Celtic Park.He added: “I am writing to Celtic FC and Hapoel Tel Aviv FC outlining the reasons and purpose of this call and making clear that we attach no blame either to Hapoel Tel Aviv players, nor their fans, for the outrageous actions of their government.”We hope that Celtic fans will join with us in a demonstration of support for a just and lasting peace in Israel/Palestine based on a safe and secure Palestinian homeland living side-by-side with Israel.”The call, however, is understood to have angered Celtic, who do not want to see the game become politicised.

Safety concern

In a statement on Tuesday, the club said it was “extremely concerned to learn of a call to hold demonstrations” at the game.It said: “Our primary concern is that event safety may be compromised by the diversion of police and those involved in public safety duties, away from their main task which is the well-being of all fans attending the match.”No matter the rights and wrongs of any cause, a crowded football match is not the place for a public demonstration.”We have further concerns that any behaviour within Celtic Park, in breach of Uefa regulations and the Respect campaign, will have serious implications and consequences for Celtic as a club.”Celtic FC urges our supporters to come and back the team and for everyone attending Celtic Park on Wednesday evening to behave in a responsible manner that does not compromise or divert resources from public safety or bring the club into disrepute.”The club said it welcomed the Israeli team and its supporters to the stadium and believed football was “a powerful medium for social integration”.It said: “Celtic has always been a club for all people, regardless of gender, age, religion, race, politics or ability.”We therefore believe Celtic Park is no place for a political demonstration.”

A County Durham man has been questioned in connection with claims the mother of Sunderland striker Darren Bent was racially abused.

The incident is alleged to have taken place following the match against Wigan on Saturday.On behalf of Greater Manchester Police, Northumbria Police arrested a Chester-le-Street man on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.The 26-year-old was released on bail until 12 January.

 

Darron Gibson stated an eloquent case for Manchester United’s young brigade by scoring twice to send the holders into the Carling Cup semi-final at the expense of Spurs at Old Trafford.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had reacted angrily to criticism levelled at his emerging stars after the defeat against Besiktas that ended their 23-game unbeaten home record in the Champions League.Ferguson launched a passionate defence of his home-grown products and gave them another chance to impress against Spurs – and 22-year-old Gibson was the star of the show as United saw off Harry Redknapp’s side in a repeat of last season’s Wembley final.

Stewart Downing scored on his first start for Aston Villa as they secured a deserved victory over Portsmouth in the Carling Cup quarter-final.

Stiliyan Petrov sliced a corner into his own net to give Pompey the lead but a minute later Emile Heskey ran through on goal to chip Villa level.James Milner’s drive put the visitors ahead and Downing’s second-half header seemed to have settled the tie.A Kanu strike gave Portsmouth hope but Ashley Young’s goal extinguished it.Pompey boss Avram Grant’s last game as a manager in this competition was a defeat to Tottenham in the 2008 final during his time at Chelsea.However, in stark contrast to his time at Stamford Bridge, Grant is now tasked with steering a struggling side away from the Premier League relegation zone.
