THE Scottish government has condemned the widespread use of pyrotechnics at the Viaplay Cup final as “unacceptable” and expressed confidence…
“The new pyrotechnic possession offences require further legislation before they can commence in full and work is underway to take this forward as a priority.”
James Dornan, the SNP MSP for Glasgow Cathcart, was horrified when he saw the number of flares, smokes bombs, strobes and rockets which were set off by fans of both Celtic and Rangers at the Viaplay Cup final at Hampden, which is located in his constituency, on Sunday. However, he stated that he has no faith in the senior clubs or governing bodies addressing a problem which is on the rise across the country and revealed that he will be urging the government to take steps to do so.
“But I am going to be pushing the government on things they need to do because you can guarantee the clubs and the governing bodies will not do anything unless they are forced into it. They have shown that.“The Scottish parliament was told in the last session that there weren’t the legal powers to push it through. But I have started pushing the government more and more to take this seriously.
