Dismayed James Tavernier revealed every black player at Rangers has suffered online racial abuse this season.
The Ibrox skipper has demanded more action to tackle racism on social media as he opened up on the extent of the hatred levelled at footballers in 2021.
Rangers and Celtic stood united ahead of Sunday's derby draw at Parkhead in the wake of an alleged racist slur aimed at Glen Kamara by Slavia Prague's Ondrej Kudela in midweek, while home captain Scott Brown embraced the Finland international during the warm-up.
Both clubs agreed they would not take the knee ahead of the fixture, with Tavernier adamant a stronger message is now required.
He said: “We took a knee to send out a message but we believe that message isn’t strong enough.
“What we did was stand up to send out a bigger message that we need action on these things that are occurring regularly now.
“We wanted to send out a strong message and it was an easy decision.
“You saw the situation on Thursday and that is going to get taken care of.
“But I feel confident saying that all our black players have received racial abuse this season.
“That’s from social media platforms and this is a key message to them.
“Action has to be taken - enough is enough. It’s happening all around the game.
“People sit behind keyboards, computers or phones racially abusing players.
“We have just had enough of it.”
