Celtic FC support Rainbow Laces campaign

Celtic Football Club is delighted to be showing our support for lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer/questioning players and fans by wearing Rainbow Laces at our Premiership match against Motherwell at Fir Park on Wednesday, December 5.

Rainbow Laces is Stonewall Scotland’s campaign to change attitudes in sport and make sure that LGBTQ people are welcomed and accepted at all levels of the game.

Sadly, many lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) people have a poor experience in sport and have experienced discrimination because of who they are. Research shows that almost half of LGBTQ people think that public sporting events, such as football matches, aren’t a welcoming space for them.
