Andy Walker slams Celtic fans for Remembrance Day minute’s silence disruption

Celtic fans have disrupted the minute's silence to commemorate Remembrance Sunday before their game against Dundee.

A section of the travelling support at Dens Park sang and jeered as players and staff from both clubs observed the remembrance tradition.

Former Celtic striker and Sky Sports commentator Andy Walker said: "It was so embarrassing."

And during the match they chanted "You can shove your f***ing poppy up your a**e".

Scottish Premiership clubs commemorated those who have lost their lives in conflict at this weekend’s fixtures.

But some of the Hoops legions have marred the silence ahead of kick off in Tayside with booing which was clearly audible ahead of the live Sky Sports kick off.

Singing was also heard.

Celtic hit out at a section of their support after the same thing happened in a game against Ross County back in 2015.

Parkhead chiefs said in a statement they had “embarrassed the club” after making themselves heard during the silence.

Then boss Ronny Deila was also critical and said: “I am disappointed in it.

"It is something the club maybe say something about but personally it is disappointing.”

The same happened against Falkirk 2009 but Sky TV later admitted they muted the noise.

It comes after reports that some fans marred a minute’s silence at Easter Road following the passing of Rangers boss Walter Smith.
