SNP politician Humza Yousaf is under attack from Rangers fans this evening after a petition was launched demanding his resignation.
The former Justice Secretary had called for any Gers player or staff member found guilty of using sectarian language to be sacked after a clip was circulated on social media earlier this week of the club's stars celebrating lifting the Premiership trophy.
Police Scotland last night confirmed 'no criminality' was established after examining the video, and the Ibrox hierarchy have now vowed to take legal action against 'certain individuals' for their comments regarding the matter.
And now a petition - shared by supporter group Union Bears - has been launched on Change.org asking for Yousaf to resign from the Scottish Government over claims he pre-judged the police probe.
Within 24 hours of the petition being launched, 15,000 signatures had been gathered, with the caption reading: "Humza Yousaf has disgraced himself and proven to be completely biased and untrustworthy to be a factual or reasonable member of the Scottish devolved administration.
"He must resign immediately so the scottish people can have faith that politicians will not use lies or fake videos to smear demographics of society that disagree with his and his party's political position."
