🫶 What a free-kick from the Skipper!!

Rangers released a statement regarding Sunday. In their statement they said the following: “What we can say now is that issues of stadium safety and the legacy of the Ibrox Disaster are deeply personal to this club. We were appalled to discover graffiti within the stadium referencing that tragedy. The memory of the 66 supporters who lost their lives in January 1971 deserves dignity and respect. To desecrate their memory is vile. It is cowardly. It is shameful. This is not football rivalry and it is not banter. It is the abuse of a tragedy that claimed 66 lives.” On that point, I agree 100%. Mocking or abusing a tragedy where 66 people lost their lives is absolutely disgusting and it should never happen. Those people deserve dignity and respect, regardless of football rivalry. But what I will never understand is why there is never the same condemnation from Rangers when it comes to the chants we regularly hear from their support. Chants like “Up to our knees in Fenian blood” and the “Celtic Boys Club” or "Child Abuse" chants are heard time and time again, yet there is rarely if ever a strong statement condemning them. Not to mention the chants and songs about the Irish famine, Scott Brown’s sister, Tommy Burns and even the Lisbon Lions. Those things have gone on for years and are just as disgusting and unacceptable. If clubs are going to speak out about respecting tragedies and the memory of those who have passed, then it has to apply across the board. You can’t condemn one form of vile behaviour while turning a blind eye to others that are just as offensive. Not only that, but the club themselves have at times enabled that culture. A version of “Simply the Best” is played that encourages those chants, and we’ve even seen symbolism used such as the red trim around the knees of socks that many interpret as referencing “Fenian blood”, alongside things like full orange kits. So while I completely agree with their words about respecting the memory of the 66 who died in 1971, and that absolutely must be respected, there also needs to be consistency. If clubs are going to take a moral stand and they should then it has to apply to everything, not just the things that affect their own club. Respect for tragedy, victims, and basic decency in football should go both ways.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

So Chermitti can slap a hand away with the same force three times ? 👀

Saw the Rangers* manager interview on Sportscene and the guy wouldn't even say the word Cetic. He called us "the other team"! What an infantile mentality 😂😂😂
