EDM 1678: Celtic FC supporters and banner

That this House notes that as the new UK football season begins, a deeply regrettable outstanding issue remains from February 2025 when a number of Celtic FC fans displayed a banner at a home game indicating their support for deceased IRA terrorist Brendan McFarlane who was convicted in 1976 for his role in a bomb and gun attack in a Unionist area of Belfast, an atrocity that claimed the lives of five innocent people and injured sixty others; further notes that, following his release, he continued his involvement in terrorist activities; also notes that the CEO of Celtic FC Michael Nicholson was written to on a number of occasions, his office telephoned and had reminder emails sent, none of which have resulted in an acknowledgment of any kind and no action appears to have been taken to deal with those individuals in their stadium who publicly described a sectarian killer as a hero; and calls on the Scottish football authorities to take action to prevent any repeat of this appalling activity at a sporting event.
