The report is an evisceration of the way of things among these two clubs and the way in which their Ultras groups behave. Blackbourne catalogues that day in detail, a cup tie won on penalties by Celtic, a victory that sparked a “wholly inexcusable” pitch invasion by hundreds among the more than 8,000 visiting fans.
