Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that qualified seafarer Argo shouted towards the Celtic fans abuse such as "f***ing fenian b******s." He also said: "f***ing paedo fenian b******s", "f***ing fenian weegie c***s," and "I will kill you f***ing paedo." Argo, of Aberdeen, pleaded guilty today to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner which was stated to be a hate crime. Advertisement Darren Fleming, defending, told the court that Argo - whose dad was a volunteer with Aberdeen FC - failed in his attempt to get an absolute discharge which would see the offence not appear on his client's criminal record. The solicitor advocate stated that Argo got "caught up in what he considered to be football banter." The lawyer added that his client - now a former season ticket holder - has attended two further games between the two clubs without incident. Sheriff Jonathan Guy ordered delivery driver Argo to do 45 hours of unpaid work. Advertisement But he did not impose a football banning order. The sheriff said: "There is a clear need to punish people to deter them from offending in this manner Rangers players look terrified and exposed under Russell Martin "The fact you were intoxicated is an aggravating factor. "You said these things near opposing fans which could have caused a possible very serious incident - your culpability is high."

The city centre would be transformed and tens of thousands of Aberdeen supporters would be allowed take to the streets for a party, councillors have revealed. That's despite roadworks taking place on Union Street, which would usually be an important part of the bus route. Labour councillor M. Tauqeer Malik said: "Usually Union Street would be ideal but it's a complete mess." Committee convener Alex McLellan has proposed that £35,000 from the Common Good Fund to pay for the celebrations, but finer details on the route were not disclosed.

What Celtic and Aberdeen plan to do for fans if they seal Scottish Cup glory on Saturday at Hampden
It could lead to some historic scenes in the Granite City in particular PARTY TIME What Celtic and Aberdeen plan to do for fans if they seal Scottish Cup glory on Saturday at Hampden ABERDEEN and Celtic have been busy making preparations for fans to celebrate if they win the Scottish Cup. The two teams go head-to-head tomorrow at Hampden. 2 Aberdeen had a bus parade when they won the League Cup in 2014 Credit: Scottish News and Sport 2 Celtic had a similar bus parade after winning the 'Treble Treble' in 2019 Credit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow Celtic copped flak for not organising a club-sponsored party on the day the Hoops lifted the Premiership trophy. It led to some ugly scenes among booze-fuelled supporters in the Trongate area of Glasgow, and a huge clean-up operation had to be undertaken. SunSport understands the club is taking proactive measures this weekend by erecting barriers at Celtic Park in the event Brendan Rodgers' men win the cup (and secure another Treble in the process). Perimeter fencing is being put in place on the Celtic Way under the expectation that the players would return to the stadium should they emerge victorious at Hampden, and would therefore give the fans a place to congregate ahead of the celebrations. Aberdeen have been promised an open top bus parade should they clinch the cup. The city centre would be transformed and tens of thousands of Dons supporters would be allowed take to the streets for a party, councillors have revealed. That's despite roadworks taking place on Union Street, which would usually be an important part of the bus route. Labour councillor M. Tauqeer Malik said: "Usually Union Street would be ideal but it's a complete mess." Committee convener Alex McLellan has proposed that £35,000 from the Common Good Fund to pay for the celebrations, but finer details on the route were not disclosed.
