Michael Stewart said the fans in front of him were on the verge of “banging” as anger bubbled over Celtic’s defeat to Hearts.
Punters within the main stand were left angry with many pointing towards the directors’ box with chants of ‘sack the board’ ringing aloud as Brendan Rodgers side fell to a second consecutive defeat that leaves Rangers in position to leapfrog their rivals with two games in hands.
And Stewart explained the scenes of utter anger that engulfed the stadium when it became clear that defeat was coming. Speaking to Sportsound, Stewart said: “Things are heating up here down the road, other people are almost beating each other up front. of me. “” With everyone else, the fans?” Leeanne Crichton asked, and Stewart confirmed.
Stewart added: “Punters are not satisfied: we are next to some of the visitors and a few words are being said back and forth. It’s the frustrations that come from punters who feel that the board hasn’t done their homework and it turns out that there’s a gap between punters and the rest of the people who occupy what we’d call fancy seats. That’s what’s emerging.
He added: “Further down the tunnel there were a few other people, someone turned around and spoke to the board. In this area, there were many more after that. Some stewards were looking to calm things down and it seemed to agitate a little more because punters feel they are allowed to express their opinions explicitly. Right in front of us, it was quite hot, there were a couple more people who almost worried about an altercation with other people who were looking to get them to return. and calm things down. There was a genuine divide between the punters and the board of directors, the upper class.
