Appalled Simon Jordan slams Celtic fans over Queen banners and insists 'I don't want to relate to you'

Simon Jordan has slammed Celtic fans over the banners they unveiled mocking the Queen during the club’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw. On banner said “F*** the Crown” while another said “Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan,” a reference to the intruder who broke into the late monarch’s Buckingham Palace bedroom.

But while the no-nonsense radio pundit hit out at the Hoops legions, he doesn’t believe the Parkhead side should face any action from UEFA in the way Rangers could be for their tribute to Her Majesty because Celtic couldn’t control the actions of their supporters.

Jordan addressed the contrast in the actions from fans of the fierce rivals to the passing last week of the monarch with fans belting out God Save the King at Ibrox as Rangers chiefs defied UEFA orders not to play the national anthem and a section of the Celtic support displayed anti-royalist banners and chanted during their 1-1 draw in the Polish capital.

The 54-year-old said on talkSPORT: “They're different things. First and foremost, Rangers orchestrated a situation where the fans supported the Queen, not because they didn't want to do it but they were facilitated to do what they wanted to do.

"They were given placards to form the Union Jack and there was a drum roll to signal the national anthem. Celtic had a very different view, an appalling view from some of their fans, quite frankly. To put signs up of the nature they did was appalling, just appalling. If you've got nothing good to say, perhaps say nothing.

"I know there's times when I say things that perhaps are a little bit strong and full of hyperbole but I ask questions about this. If you don't like something, don't go it and see it rather than put up ridiculous,
