'A family friendly space is not a suitable environment for the sale of alcohol”
Celtic have secured permission to sell alcohol in a “family friendly” area set up to improve the “matchday experience”, despite an objection from Glasgow’s health and social care partnership.
But it lost out by four votes to two to an amendment from Cllr Bill Butler, Labour, seconded by Bailie Margaret Morgan, SNP, to grant permission. The HSCP spokeswoman said the stadium is within a “designated overprovision locality, with “alcohol-related hospital admissions 257% above the Scottish rate and alcohol specific deaths 107% above the Scottish rate”.
The spokeswoman also said there is a “need to have a conversation about the association of sport and alcohol”.
