I'd challenge the assumption that bigotry and bias existed with Farry and Tait for a start. Farry was a petty jobsworth but his handling of the Jorge Cadete affair was more to do with his interpretation of the rules rather than a hatred for celtic.

Nothing supports the notion that Farry acted deliberately to hold up Cadete's registration out of "anti-Celtic" bias.
Even so a team with a largely catholic support moaning that a referee who happens to be a teacher of RE at a catholic school is against them just shows how paranoid they are.

Celtic (and Rangers) have always had a small unsavoury element in their support. In the last year or so the celtic minority have become more and more vocal and disturbing with the IRA supporting chants and songs, smoke flares, attacking of stewards and general hooliganism becoming more and more evident.

Their dispute of every decision that goes against them whilst mysteriously staying quiet on decisions in their favour isn't doing them any favours.
