p Stuart Kettlewell has slammed quot;despicablequot; Celtic Park scenes that turned a href=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/ross-county-fc target=_blank data-link-tracking=InArticle|Link data-content-type=section-topicRoss County/a apos;s historic victory sour. /p pThe Staggies ended Celticapos;s run of domestic dominance as they dumped the Betfred Cup holders out with a deserved 2-0 victory./p pDefeat ensured a first domestic cup loss in 36 outings for the Parkhead side./p pAfterwards, however, hundreds gathered outside the stadium to vent their fury as the day turned ugly./p pCeltic said in a later statement that some players were left quot;shakenquot; after being targeted by missiles while police said three officers had suffered minor injuries, with footage showing some fans kicking down and throwing barriers./p p a data-content-type=section-topic data-link-tracking=InArticle|Link href=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/stuart-kettlewell target=_blankKettlewell/a and his players saw it all unfold as they waited on the team bus. /p pThe Staggies boss said: quot;We did have to get a police escort out of Parkhead and on to the motorway./p pquot;The police to my mind dealt with the situation very well, they were excellent./p pquot;It is was absolutely despicable. The whole situation for me soured a brilliant day for our club. It was a great day for our club./p p quot;We understand what it means to a data-content-type=section-topic data-link-tracking=InArticle|Link href=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc target=_blankCeltic/a and how despondent their fans would be and their players and officials would be. /p pquot;It is football, we all know that that happens but you have to realise we are in the middle of a global pandemic here and some of the scenes I see sitting on the bus, watching police fighting and trying their damndest to stop guys breaking the perimeter barriers they set out was just despicable./p p/ pquot;If we look at the bigger picture outside football, we have police wrestling with people who potentially could have the virus and they are putting themselves in the front line to try to contain a situation./p p quot;What a href=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/neil-lennon target=_blank data-link-tracking=InArticle|Link data-content-type=section-topicNeil Lennon/a has done for Celtic as a player, a captain and manager, I certainly think he deserves a helluva more respect than what he and his players got on Sunday. /p pquot;I am not a Celtic official, I am not a Celtic supporter, Ross County is obviously my concern but I can only speak through sitting in that car park waiting to get away from Parkhead and itapos;s not scenes any of us want to see in Scottish football./p pquot;Hopefully it is an isolated situation we donapos;t see again and people take heed that it is totally unacceptable.quot;/p
