Celtic chairman blasts fans’ ‘criminally racist’ treatment of director Lord Livingston

Livingston, a Conservative peer, recently voted in favour of the UK Government’s tax credit cuts policy.

Celtic chairman Ian Bankier described some Hoops fans’ online treatment of fellow director Lord Ian Livingston as ‘criminally racist’ at the club’s annual general meeting.

Livingston, a Conservative peer and former minister for trade and investment, recently voted in favour of the UK Government’s tax credit cuts policy in the House of Lords, which prompted a section of the Celtic support to start an online petition calling for his removal.
