Seeing rumours that Cummings is leaving Celtic this window. Anyone confirm?

Apparently Holm deal has been completed. As a result u would expect a replacement in soon.

Police Scotland released this statement in relation to the weekend's match:
Fans reported for refusing to be searched by police under Section 60, Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994
A group of 90 people, most of whom had concealed their identity, were denied entry to Celtic Park after refusing to be searched by officers under the applied Section 60 powers on Sunday, 16 March 2025.
It was the opinion of officers that they posed a threat to the safety of people within the stadium and to the public due to possible possession of weapons and pyrotechnics.
Whilst the group was contained, pyrotechnics were disposed of and set off causing a fire, endangering both the public and officers. Thankfully no-one was injured.
All 90 people will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal in relation to contraventions of Section 60.
As part of the wider policing operation there was one arrest at the match; a 20-year-old man. He was arrested and charged for alleged police assault on approach to the stadium. He has been released on an Undertaking to appear at court at a later date.
A second man, aged 46, is the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal for allegedly being in possession of a pyrotechnic.
Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan, who led the policing operation, said:
"Again, the vast majority of fans were simply there to enjoy the match and I would thank them for their good conduct.
"It was necessary to apply containment tactics to maintain public safety and deal effectively with those intent on disruption or non-compliance with relevant legislation, including powers under Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. As a result, some groups of supporters missed the game, but that was their choice.
"Our priority is and always will be the safety of fans in and around the stadium and the general public in the wider city. To support that, enforcement of Section 60 and other legislation was undertaken proportionately, with search powers being enacted in a targeted manner.
"Non-compliance with the Section 60 powers resulted in 90 people being reported to the Procurator Fiscal. Others have been arrested or reported for other offences, including the assault of a police officer.
"A significant number of pyrotechnics were seized or prevented from entering the stadium, which again demonstrates the disregard that some supporters have for the safety of others.
"We will continue to work with partners, including the clubs, to improve safety and order and to ensure that the sporting event is the real focus. "
------------------------
After a review of Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 I can confirm that this part of the legislation applies only in England and Wales. Police Scotland has no legal authority to conduct searches under this provision.
In Scotland, there is no equivalent Section 60 power. All stop and searches must be based on reasonable suspicion, as outlined in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016. This means that blanket stop and search without suspicion is unlawful in Scotland.
If supporters were denied entry, detained for extended periods, or charged solely under Section 60, there appears to be no legal basis for these actions under Scottish law. This could render the police operation unlawful and open to legal challenge.
It is also alleged that a group of fans was detained for six hours through the use of "kettling" tactics, preventing them from leaving the area. During this time, they were reportedly denied access to food, water, and toilet facilities. The prolonged nature of this detention and deprivation of basic needs may raise serious human rights concerns, particularly regarding Article 5 (Right to Liberty) and Article 3 (Prohibition of Inhuman or Degrading Treatment) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) .
Anyone affected should seek legal advice regarding potential breaches of their rights and consider challenging any actions taken under the unlawful application of Section 60 and the extended detention tactics used.
Victims could pursue several legal actions against Police Scotland. One option is a civil action for damages, seeking compensation for unlawful detention, distress, and breach of rights. If successful, this could result in financial redress.
Another possible avenue is a Judicial Review, challenging the legality of the police actions in court. A successful ruling could confirm that the use of Section 60 was unlawful and set a precedent for future cases.
Individuals may also file a complaint with the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) , which investigates police misconduct in Scotland. If wrongdoing is found, this could lead to disciplinary action against officers involved.
If UK courts fail to provide adequate redress, victims could take their case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) , arguing violations of Article 5 (Right to Liberty) and Article 3 (Prohibition of Inhuman or Degrading Treatment) .
Those affected should seek legal representation from a solicitor specialising in human rights or public law. It is also crucial to document all available evidence, including videos, testimonies, timestamps, and medical records, to support potential legal claims. Additionally, if multiple victims wish to take legal action, they may consider joining a collective lawsuit, strengthening their case and increasing the likelihood of success.

The police report would have many lies, and untruths . There is no explanation as why they happened to be outside the social club at Barrowfield and waiting for these fans to come out . I don’t believe all these fans had face covered preventing recognition.
Police Scotland don’t have much credibility amongst decent football fans as they continue to send blind and deaf cops to Sevco games to help them to enjoy their party songs of hatred.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 10:24:24
The more I hear about this incident the more sinister it sounds. Yes the GB will have been difficult to deal with, but that is no excuse for what sounds like a premeditated, disproportionate and illegal response by one of Scotland’s many corrupt organisations.
I’m sure I saw pyros go off among the tribute act fans during the game. Obviously the same rigor not applied in their case, despite them having a track record of storing and using weapons and missiles during countless games against us. Don’t you just love Scotland! … and don’t get me started on 3 bigots straight out of our ‘media’ and straight into the Sevco dugout…. Only in our warped country!
3.) 22 Mar 2025 11:01:12
police set up stripping our rights and freedoms day by day. you do not have to let them search you. only if you give them your consent they are allowed.
4.) 22 Mar 2025 11:09:56
4.18, section 60, criminal justice act,1984, does apply to Scotland, according to my googling, allowing stop and search,
5.) 22 Mar 2025 14:51:10
trust me there are not allowed to search you if you do no consent to a search. they police by consent.
6.) 22 Mar 2025 15:33:42
Sorry UI but you are wrong on this occasion ?♂️.
7.) 22 Mar 2025 19:18:55
The act is from 1994 and it is for England and Wales. From my understanding there are a few parts that apply to Scotland but I could not see where it said section 60 applies. Could you please link or post where it says section 60 applies to Scotland.
8.) 22 Mar 2025 19:38:42
They can search you without your consent, if they suspect you are carrying something illegal.
9.) 23 Mar 2025 14:27:43
lawman trust me im not wrong as i have done it myself before. stopped me and my mates for a search. started to search one of my mates and i says offericer i don't not consent to your search or questions im going to be on my way now and started to walk away. and he says that's fine and let me walk away wile searching my mate who had already consented. told my other mate to walk away. as soon as he walked away the copper put his hand on my mates shoulder as he was walking away and my mate pulled away and he jailed my mate for a breach obv radgeing that i had done him with not consenting so stiched my mate up and done him for a breach for pulling away.
10.) 23 Mar 2025 15:56:34
UI the post was about being detained under Sec 60 that you said you could walk away from if you didn't consent to a search. Which is wrong. The Police cannot search you if they don't have reasonable suspicion that you are not in possession of drugs, offensive weapons, stolen property or in this post under Section 60. I imagine that in your case the Police were either fishing for an offence or didn't suspect you of committing any offence.

Did you know that if we win the treble this year, then we will have won the same number of trophies in one season, that Sevco have in their entire history.
As things stand Sevco have won the same number of domestic honours as Vale of Leven ?
Our closest existing rivals are Aberdeen, who have 19, so they only need 100 more to catch us.
1.) 20 Mar 2025 07:53:25
Brilliant,
We welcome the chase.
2.) 20 Mar 2025 09:28:06
Weejoe and Buzz what Sevco are doing these days is counting any trophies their WOMEN win to up their total.
3.) 20 Mar 2025 09:37:35
Weejoe, your stats are out. Did they not win the Challenge cup and what about the lower league titles they won post 2012? ?.
4.) 20 Mar 2025 11:18:56
Rangers and Sevco combined have won more minor honours including Glasgow Cups Etc but Celtic have won more Major Honours.
5.) 20 Mar 2025 11:57:07
We only count major trophies not diddly ones.

Hey my friends this is not true they win the summer cup every year and keep telling Enrico they are coming.
Hail Hail.

On Sunday 16th March 2025, Police Scotland resorted to using draconian legislation to harass the Green Brigade. This heavy-handed approach serves as a stark reminder of why we should be cautious when granting police sweeping powers - they often exploit them for purposes that were never intended.
In what can only be described as an overreach, officers invoked legislation designed to tackle serious criminal activities to target a group that has been vocal in its political and social stance. Despite the Green Brigade's peaceful protests and their commitment to expressing opinions on a range of social issues, they were subjected to unwarranted attention, with officers seemingly using the law as a tool to suppress free expression.
This incident highlights a disturbing trend where police powers, granted to prevent genuine threats, are being repurposed to stifle dissent and monitor groups based on their political affiliations or viewpoints. Such actions not only undermine civil liberties but also raise questions about the true intentions behind these laws, especially when they are used disproportionately against certain groups.
The reality is that these laws were never meant to target political expression or peaceful demonstrations, yet time and again, we see them being twisted for purposes that infringe upon basic democratic rights. It is clear that when authorities are given unchecked power, there is always a risk that they will overstep their bounds and misuse it to control and harass those who dare to voice their opinions. This is why we must be cautious in granting such powers and why we must hold those in authority accountable for their actions.
P. S. police Scotland have a dodgy element within them and have a history of harassing and expressing hatred of the group. I recall them saying, "they would smash the Marxist and Irish republican green brigade".
1.) 17 Mar 2025 19:47:45
Ridiculous but not unexpected by Scottish Police.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 20:57:58
You can't reason with unreasonable that's the point. It's beyond poor how a visible section of our supporters are treated.
The kicker is they were treated this way especially as there was away support? Funny it didn't happen with Hibernian who had 3 times the support.
If the authorities apply the measures evenly and consistently, which clearly they don't! Did pryos make it into the ground in the away section? We're they subjected to the same level of policing, clearly not? Did they receive a protective police escort? Any masks, hoodie? Were they pressured into providing ID Pyros were missed so who knows what else? Did they have to register, agree to be manhandled and other absurd requirements. To initially agree to the initial reasons to be then met with new clearly defines you can't reason with unreason. Like a bouncer saying no trainers you go home and change and they then say regulars only.
When your club barely protects staff from incidents and views an element of support like a problem child its clear the few have differing values that they are hitching a ride in a vehicle whilst manipulating for economic profit using the very values stood for that they clearly see as a barrier to the former.
3.) 18 Mar 2025 12:46:27
The Board does what it can to help safety of fan . Board ban pyros from been lit in stands That’s about the limit of what our Board can do. As Scottish Police have a hatred and bias against every Celtic supporter, team and Board. Members of Scottish Police would have no problem lying consistently in order to get either a full or partial ban of Celtic supporters from Celtic Park stands .
Cops on duty at Celtic games are neither deaf or blind when Celtic fans are concerned, whilst those assisting H. ns fans can switch off hearing and turn a blind eye to the illegal antics of H. ns.
17 Mar 2025 09:38:10
Some of the comments on our players are way off the mark in my opinion.
What happened yesterday was 2-3 of our players were well below par and that caused areas to be exposed and they exploited that.
Our 3 worst performers yesterday were Johnston, Schlupp and Kuhn. All 3 of them have been applauded this season and on the most part have performed well. Just because someone has a bad game, does not make them a bad player and in need of replacement.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 12:26:15
No need to press the panic button. The league table doesn't lie. But we have work to do, no doubt, not least improving our physicality. Plus, the last 3 derby games indicate they've got the measure of us which arguably stretches back to last season's SC Final. Yes we can't win all the time but BR, time to earn your stripes.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 17:53:16
What more has BR to do to win his stripes . Trebles Doubles, he has been a winner every season . He has taken Celtic to new heights in Europe this season .
You seem to judge him against a club of cheats and frauds, that shouldn’t even exist but Celtic supporters after they with several outside help manage to get a result., only make Sevco fans happier by us fighting and arguing amongst ourselves. Yesterday was meaningless.

I saw that the manager of the Palestine national team would like to play a friendly against Celtic.
This would be a great gesture from our club if we obliged and donated all proceeds to the Palestinians.
That being said, while our supporters would back it, I can't see our board going against the Zionists.
1.) 13 Mar 2025 16:58:09
David Low gave our board criticism in a podcast last week, for not getting our supporters or club.
2.) 13 Mar 2025 17:34:33
Wee Joe. I wouldn't back it.
{Ed007's Note - Why not?}
3.) 13 Mar 2025 18:42:58
@Buzz, David Low has been a good listen and knows his stuff when it comes to finance and Celtic.
4.) 13 Mar 2025 18:44:20
@9iar That is your choice and if the game were to happen you could choose not to go. However, I would go, as would thousands of others.
5.) 13 Mar 2025 19:12:12
This my view and maybe or maybe not the view of others. I don't sit comfortably having a rich vein of politics running through my club. I want to go and watch a game between two clubs happily leaving politics to politicians.
{Ed007's Note - It's because of the politics & politicians at the time that the Club was founded.}
6.) 13 Mar 2025 19:42:07
That’s the point that David Low was making last week Ed ?.
{Ed007's Note - I've not listened to it yet but I've read snippets on social media.}

From the Shamrock. net:
“The main objective of the club is to supply the East End conferences of the St. Vincent de Paul Society with funds for the maintenance of the ‘Dinner Tables’ of our needy children in the Missions of St Mary’s, Sacred Heart, and St. Michael’s. Many cases of sheer poverty are left unaided through lack of means. It is therefore with this principle object that we have set afloat the ‘Celtic’, and we invite you as one of our ever-ready friends to assist in putting our new park in proper working order for the coming football season. ”
Whether this was done through a background of politics - the British Government not recognising the Scottish/ Irish Catholics - I don't know but poverty and charity - something had to be done to feed the children and unemployed in the West of Scotland.

I get the suffering of the Palestinians but without getting deep into stuff on a football forum, I believe one side is as guilty as the other and I hate, absolutely detest all this Pro Palestinian and anti Israel stuff.
All that said, I'm a proud Celtic supporter and in a football context, stand shoulder to shoulder with you all.
08 Feb 2025 17:24:55
Kenny looks promising but needs to learn the tactical side of the role and how to press effectively.
I am sure he will make an appearance at some point tonight.
03 Feb 2025 09:27:14
We need yang for cover. At the moment we have:
Kuhn
Maeda
Jota
Yang
Forrest
In his defence, I think he has improved and works hard for the team. I just think he needs a goal and fans to get behind him to give his confidence a boost.
02 Feb 2025 08:01:03
We either need a new striker to replace kyogo or move maeda to striker and get another winger.
However, I don't want us to overpay for one because of desperation and would prefer a loan if that was the case. Preferably with an option to buy.
01 Feb 2025 19:23:39
We can't stop it I'm afraid. Even playing them is no guarantee they won't do it. Remember Liam Miller left us for man utd and would not sign a new contract.

How would lowering the TV money, lowering the interest in the league, lowering prize money and lowering gate receipts raise the standard of our league?
What you need to remember is the TV deal has a clause ensuring 4 Glasgow derbies. That is what the TV companies request and if they are not given that the TV deal will diminish as none of the other fixtures have a commercial value to them. TV companies make most of their money from advertising, so they want high numbers of viewers to raise that income. Sadly the viewing figures are low for all the other games, especially ones that don't involve either Glasgow teams.
22 Apr 2025 17:00:21
We were rubbish when their old incarnation won 9 in a row but it did not seem to diminish their achievement. ?.
22 Apr 2025 16:07:58
We have already won the league, it is just a matter of when and by how many points. Hopefully we do it this weekend to make it mathematically impossible to catch us. We could probably go into administration, get 15 point deduction and still win it. ?
Sevco are joint with Vale of Leven on number of major trophies won in Scotland. ?.
22 Apr 2025 14:51:36
Yeah winning all these tedious trebles is so boring. ?.
22 Apr 2025 14:30:55
Exactly buzz.
They can't overtake any of our records now but we will overtake the records we didn't hold in the near future.
We have already overtook the number of leagues won (it is a formality) and number of trophies won. Think all they have e left is most league cups, which is in our sights.
