Congratulations to Celtic

Celtic will provide free sanitary products for women at its stadium which will be available at no cost in all female toilets.bCampaigners hoped to highlight period poverty and increase the visibility of women's issues in a football context.
Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: "This is a brilliant victory for the activists who have been campaigning to secure free access to sanitary products at Celtic Park. After discussions with fans, I'm delighted that Celtic have taken this progressive step to become the first football club in the UK to provide free sanitary products. Menstruation should never be a barrier for women participating in football or supporting their team. As part of my ongoing campaign to tackle period poverty, I'm meeting the Scottish Football Association next month regarding its policies on menstruation for all football clubs in Scotland. Congratulations to Celtic and the campaigners who have fought for this positive step. I look forward to other football clubs and businesses across Scotland following their lead."
