ACTIONS OF CELTIC GOALKEEPER ARTUR BORUC

Motion Text

That this House expresses support for the good work undertaken in combating sectarianism by the Glasgow football clubs, Rangers and Celtic, but deeply regrets the actions of Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc who, at the end of the recent Old Firm game displayed a T-shirt with the words God bless the Pope on it; is saddened that this, the latest in a series of controversial gestures by the same player which have no place in football, has not brought censure from his club; and hopes that Celtic can recommence their opposition to actions that could serve to heighten tension between players as well as supporters.
