Just heard on news on radio that over 500 Celtic fans were locked out of start of tonight's game and gates were not opened until 25 minutes AFTER game started.
Every time Celtic go to Turin there is some problem. The Celtic security guy should have known about past problems, and should have been there to liase with police and local officials.
I forget the name of the Celtic security advisor, but surely part of his job, and an important part, was to ensure the safety, and safe passage, of Celtic fans into and from the ground.
This man was probably enjoying some coffee and pasta, instead of doing his job ie looking after the safety of Celtic fans.
I hope Celtic complain to UEFA and this security man given a rollicking. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - It's not just CFC fans, it is any fans travelling to Italy. Man Utd have had some scary times over the years in Italy, it is an Italian problem.}

It was a disgrace. We were there an hour before kick off and weren't in the ground til 7 minutes in. Two tiny gates for 2500 fans, everyone was getting crushed. Saw at least 4 boys getting their heads put in by the police purely because people behind them had pushed them forward. The crush got so bad a bhoy had to get lifted up and passed overhead UNCONSCIOUS while all stewerds and police watched. The Celtic stewerd said "There's nothing we can do". Absolutely disgusting. A lot of people talking about giving up on trips and to be honest it's hard to argue with them. How UEFA can continue to let this happen when it's a common thing with away fans in Italy is rediculous!
