www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47319032Rangers say they will do "everything possible" to stamp out the type of abuse aimed at Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke in Wednesday's Scottish Cup tie. Clarke said he faced "sectarian" abuse from the "dark ages" at Ibrox as his side lost 5-0 in their last-16 replay. A Rangers statement said the club "wishes to make it clear that unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated at Ibrox. "Everything possible will be done to eradicate this kind of behaviour." Clarke said he was called "a Fenian b******" at Ibrox, three days after Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd said he was subjected to sectarian abuse and was hit by a coin during Sunday's Premiership game with Celtic at Rugby Park. A statement from Kilmarnock said their board and "everyone at the club is fully behind Steve in condemning sectarianism in all its forms". "There is no place for sectarianism in football or society," it added. "We are an inclusive family club, who celebrate the diversity of our staff, players and supporters." Kilmarnock director Cathy Jamieson had earlier tweeted it was "time to end this nonsense once and for all"....

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47313458"They are not allowed to call my assistant [Alex Dyer] a 'black b', but they can call me a Fenian b******. What are we doing in Scotland?" said an emotional Clarke, who was linked with Rangers last spring. "I wake up every morning and thank Chelsea for taking me away from the west of Scotland because my children don't understand this. "Thankfully when I go down there my children don't have to worry about this. It's lovely being back in the west of Scotland." Kilmarnock captain Kris Boyd said he was subjected to sectarian abuse during Sunday's game with Celtic at Rugby Park.

I would like the SFA/Powers that be, to fine both clubs a £1million each, with a warning that these fines will increase every time this happens thereafter. Maybe a 1million is beyond their scope, so fine them whatever the maximum is and keep doing it, until both clubs enforce a code of behaviour amongst their fans. And if that puts both of them out of business, I won't shed a tear. I love Scotland, but I was brought up wondering if I was the only Catholic in Glasgow, but amongst my neighbours I was never once a victim of abuse or sectarianism of any kind which convinces me that the diehard "haters" are in the minority and know that the others are too nice to stand up to them. Both clubs have been responsible, indirectly for serious injuries, even deaths in the past. This has to stop or they have to be taken out of the game.
Booing the opposition is part of the fun, but there has to be a limit when it turns into vile abuse

Keep on digging yourself deeper into that hole, bigot. You really should post more on the Politics board, btw, you're made of the right stuff. Bunch of wankers on the politics board... It's no for me. I go and chuck a grenade in there occassionally, then walk away 👍 Ps. I'm no so sure I'm digging myself anywhere at all to be sure. Everyone here knows and accepts (or at least tolerates) my thoughts on this 😉 We can make an issue of it if you want? |

I think it was disgusting of Rangers fans and the sad fact is that there are quite a lot of sectarian fans out there. I support the strict policies against sectarian abuses as suggested by the previous posters.

Some action taken in court today: www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/rangers-fan-fined-for-shouting-sectarian-slurs-during-match-1-4877800A Rangers supporter has been fined £560 after he admitted being part of a crowd singing sectarian songs during one of the club’s matches. Christopher McNally, 36, was convicted of hurling bigoted abuse during a Rangers match just hours after the club’s fans were accused of living in “the dark ages” by a leading manager. McNally used slurs about the Pope and the Vatican as he formed part of a group of sectarian fans caught on camera during an SPFL match against St Johnstone. Perth Sheriff Court was told that McNally had no previous convictions and had been attending Rangers matches to take his mind off the untimely death of his teenage daughter. McNally, Arden Street, Edinburgh, admitted that on May 21, 2017, at McDiarmid Park in Perth he conducted himself in a disorderly manner and breached the peace. He admitted that during the match between St Johnstone and Rangers he sang sectarian lyrics towards opposing supporters in an act which was aggravated by religious prejudice. Fiscal depute Matthew Kerr told the court that McNally had been picked out by specialist police “spotters” who were monitoring the travelling support at the stadium. Mr Kerr said the spotters filmed Ibrox season ticket holder McNally and several other fans singing well-known terrace chants with sectarian words towards rival fans. McNally’s solicitor told the court that he wished to apologise and pointed out that he had never been in trouble before and had no other cases outstanding. The solicitor said: “He was one of a number of people singing these songs and he is very sorry for his behaviour, which he knows is not acceptable.” The court was told that McNally had formerly spent weekends with his daughter, but she had tragically passed away in May 2016 at the age of 13. He had been urged by friends to start attending Rangers matches at weekends to take his mind off his daughter’s death when he would have been in her company. The court was told on Thursday afternoon that he had a job and could pay a fine. The Crown did not seek to have him banned from attending football matches in future. |
