Celtic Football Club Statement
By: Newsroom Staff on 07 Nov, 2013 18:06

CELTIC Football Club is currently investigating events in Amsterdam last night (Wednesday).

We have been informed that there are five individuals detained in Holland. We are not clear if they have any formal association with the Club, however, we will be liaising with the local authorities in Amsterdam, our own police and the British Consulate in order to fully understand events. We would stress that there is no excuse for any form of violent conduct.

In addition, we have received numerous complaints from Celtic supporters in relation to their treatment in Amsterdam, which we will also investigate fully.

There is no question that Celtic supporters have been subjected to a high degree of provocation. Last week, our supporters were the target of missiles being thrown from Ajax supporters at Celtic Park, a night where 300 seats were damaged within the stadium.

This was followed up by an organised attack on a group of Celtic supporters in Amsterdam on Tuesday, the night before the match. We have also received numerous individual reports of other attacks on our fans.

The Celtic travelling support has a magnificent reputation across Europe and our fans have visited major European cities over many years without incident. Once again the overwhelming majority of our supporters behaved impeccably.

*****Euro Pu in Dam Square apologises to the CFC support******

Our sincerest apologises.

For over two decades we are hosting the supporters of Celtic and they never have caused trouble.

I am extremely shocked and very sad about yesterday's happenings.

We were not able to provide you with a very enjoyable match day/Dam Square experience and we regret this very much.

Kind regards

Won Yip
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Yip Group

ED007, pardon my ignorance but who are the "YIP" group?
Are they traders in Dam Square or something like our local city councils? Timalloy {Ed007's Note - www.amsterdam-dam.com/ should explain the type of things to do to promote the city.}

Having spoken with my brother who is just back Ed, it does appear the police came wading in at points for no reason. Although he also said their was one incident he witnessed with Celtic fans throwing fireworks at the police. These so called fans are not welcome anywhere near our club.
