Are scarves next?

Fans are advised that flags and banners will not be permitted inside McDiarmid Park, following an agreement between the police and the clubs.
As with all fixtures, alcohol, containers, smoke bombs and pyrotechnic flares are also banned and action will be taken against anyone found with these items.
Police officers will be active outside the ground to prevent the misuse of alcohol and stop checks will be carried out on supporters’ buses en route to the game.
Superintendent Lynch added: “We look forward to an entertaining afternoon and hope that everyone who attends enjoys the contest between the sides in a good-natured and enthusiastic way, where everyone is safe and remembers the game for all the right reasons.
“We welcome both sets of supporters for what we are sure will be an excellent sporting event.”

Do you know what you can do with a flag, bro? Banning flares is outrageous, but flags? Safety first.

Celtic beats the police, flags legal again
quote:
FOLLOWING discussions today between Celtic, the local police and St Johnstone FC, it has been decided that flags and banners will now be permitted at the match on Boxing Day.
We have an excellent relationship with everyone at St Johnstone FC and we thank them and the police for reviewing their initial decision.
Football is about colour and atmosphere and creating a positive occasion for all and everything should be done to ensure that such an event can take place.
However, it is also imperative that the safety and the well-being of fans is given paramount importance and in this regard we share the obvious desire of St Johnstone FC and the police that all matches take place in a safe environment.
