Rangers vow to identify fans involved in racist anti-Irish march

Rangers have released a statement in response to footage that showed several of their supporters indulging in sectarian singing.

A video on social media showed a large group being escorted by police through Glasgow city centre while chanting an anti-Irish song referencing the famine on the day of their side’s 1-0 win over Celtic.

The statement, released on the club’s website on Monday night, read: “Following an incident on Sunday, we repeat that Rangers FC condemns all forms of racism, sectarianism and discrimination.

“We are working with the police to identify any season ticket holders.

“As a club, we are proud of our Everyone Anyone campaign, led through the Rangers Charity Foundation, our work with a wide range of stakeholders and our on-going dialogue with the Scottish Government.

“Discrimination of all forms is a societal issue within Scotland.

“Those with influence within Scottish discourse should put their energy into eradicating this very serious issue across all sections of Scottish society who suffer sectarianism, discrimination and racism of any form.”
