Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However you appear to have missed the point. Celtic was inundated with demands from supporters to provide an explanation wrt the incident.
I personally believe that clubs even if they are ultimately owned by a Plc have a duty to respond to valid issues raised by their fans. Perhaps ICT fans don't raise issues with their club that they are unhappy about - if they don't then that's their decision and I have no comment to make on it.
Some Celtic shareholders have been pursuing Res 12 which you may have heard of and that began with a shareholder resolution to the club's agm. It could have major consequences for football in Scotland and IMO is an issue that needs answered.
I think most football fans, irrespective of club, want a level playing field and the rules to be honestly applied without fear or favour. In an incident like this fans are left with no actual answers as to what the officials saw or didn't see and what decision they made or didn't make.
In these circumstances I think it essential that clarification is sought - not to punish Meekins or detract from ICT's well deserved victory but to see if there are any rules changes required or any ways in which a similar incident can be prevented in future or at least reduced.
I therefore don't see Celtic's move as 'arrogance' but more a direct and necessary reaction to their support and also something which might improve the game by ensuring fair play is the standard which must always be the goal.
Obviously you have some real issues with Celtic and Rangers which IMO have absolutely nothing to do with this incident and detract from the cool discussion that is required not to dragged into the SFA PR spin to turn an ICT player into a scapegoat for the abject failure of the refs.
Let's deal with the matter in hand and not get dragged-off into virtually calling for the expulsion of two clubs from Scottish Football.
