Three of the four stands at the Tony Macaroni Arena were filled with Celtic fans for the Easter Sunday clash
Livingston have claimed that Celtic fans broke pre-match agreements by entering the pitchside area to unveil a large “unapproved” banner ahead of Sunday’s match between the teams.
Livingston released a statement on Wednesday addressing a situation that angered many of their supporters. “Against the instruction of the club and police, the banner was allowed into the ground, unchecked, through an emergency gate that was opened due to safety concerns. “At the start of second half a further unapproved banner was then unfurled. The banner itself wasn’t an issue as such, however, again, visiting supporters were permitted access trackside to display the banner which is wholly and utterly unacceptable.
“I think the situation could have been dealt with better on Sunday,” he said, speaking at his media briefing on Wednesday. “But for me, would I rather have a stadium with 8000 Old Firms in it? Yep, all day long.
