Rangers could face punishment over sectarian chanting


Recommended Posts

The Scottish Professional Football League will wait to see what its match delegate has to say before deciding whether to take action against Rangers over sectarian chanting during Monday's clash with Hibernian.

 

The banned Billy Boys song could be clearly heard being sung by the home support during the Ladbrokes Championship fixture on Monday.

 

Now the club could face potential punishment if the SPFL's delegate decides to raise the matter when he submits his report on the match, won 4-2 by Mark Warburton's team.

 

A league spokesman said: "There was a delegate at the match and we will receive his report in due course. Until we see that report we are not in a position to comment."

 

In 2006, UEFA fined Rangers and also ordered the club to make a public announcement at all their home games pointing out the chanting of the Billy Boys was banned after it was heard during a Champions League clash with Villarreal.

time we fought back on this.

 

disagree the song is banned, the wording has changed so the song has never previously been sung. Its a parody.

 

"Wording has changed"? Not where I was sitting yesterday, same old words about a fascist gangster.

by changing up to our kness in f bastards too up to our knees in ebts or big throphies not only have you changed the offensive wording but the whole meaning of the song. Its went from highlighting a fight against a terrorist supporting enemy to a jovial remark about our situation. Only those not listening or looking for offence could be offended.

 

where is the offensive parts to that sung yesterday?

This is all silly stuff who gets hurt by a song only the downtrodden mob in a world were people are getting their heads lopped off and a country with food banks this is nothing .

 

If they were honest(which they are not) the 'offended mob' would admit they actually want to hear TBB so it gives them something to complain about.

Are they suggesting their own lot from the East End have a anti-Briitish songbook causes no offence?

This lot along with Sturgeon & co need to be taken to task if anything transpires from this

It has nothing to do with people being offended. It's about marketability, they want the 'family' money and to turn sport into more of a spectacle/sideshow like the Americans have done with their sports. Nothing to do with hurt feelings.
