AN article which appeared on our website on Thursday May 5 headlined “Celtic safe standing announcement branded 'insensitive' by Hillsborough campaigner” stated that the club's chief executive, Peter Lawwell, had announced plans for safe standing at Celtic Park the previous day.

‌

We would like to make clear that Celtic had announced in June 2015 that a safe standing section would be introduced at Celtic Park and that Peter Lawwell did not make any announcement regarding safe standing on 4 May as we had reported.

We apologise for this error and are happy to set the record straight.
