The use of pyrotechnics by supporters has been a huge talking point in Scottish football, and Celtic have been at the heart of it.<\/p>\n

Celtic<\/a> supporters are used to many trips to Hampden, given the club\u2019s dominant success for the past two decades, and pyrotechnics have been used, as well as at home games. <\/p>\n

But the champions of Scotland<\/a> aren\u2019t the only ones on the domestic circuit who have used pyrotechnics, because the likes of Motherwell, Aberdeen, Rangers, and Partick Thistle, to name a few, have gone down that road. <\/p>\n

To nobody\u2019s surprise, the use of pyros has always caused a stir<\/a>, and the SPFL have been quick to crack down on the clubs whose supporters make any use of it. <\/p>\n

And now, the powers that be at the SPFL have introduced a programme that won\u2019t sit well with those wanting to use pyrotechnics at games. <\/p>\n

The reason why supporters, not just those in Celtic colours, use pyrotechnics is because the modern-day atmosphere has gone down the drain. <\/p>\n

The rules in place now are so draconian that it has killed the vibe, colour, and noise in the stands. But the powers that be simply are against pyrotechnics being used to help that.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the SPFL are \u2018raising awareness amongst fans of the dangers of pyrotechnics.\u2019 <\/p>\n

It has been described as a \u2018European first\u2019, and it\u2019s an initiative \u2018run by SPFL Trust\u2019, which features an \u2018A&E senior consultant\u2019, as well as a \u2018UEFA-approved expert.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Should the use of pyros be allowed? Who are the SPFL targeting?<\/p>\n

Back in August, Celtic, alongside Aberdeen, Rangers, and Partick Thistle, were \u2018disciplined\u2019 by the SPFL<\/a> for their fans\u2019 pyrotechnic displays.<\/p>\n

The SPFL have stated, ahead of their new initiative being launched, that it aimed at \u2018fans who have previously used pyrotechnics at matches.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They also want to educate \u2018younger\u2019 supporters on what they deem the \u2018risks\u2019 of using pyrotechnics inside or outside of football stadiums. <\/p>\n

Of course, there are going to be many fans, not just those wearing the famous green and white colours, who will look across Europe, as well as across the continent in South America, and see the many pyrotechnic displays.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t agree with what is being thrown at them by those higher up, and will continue to feel that the atmosphere at games is being dialled down by safety-gone-mad people. <\/p>\n
