Chairman John Needham has apologised to Rangers following comments emerging ahead of St Mirren 's clash with the champions.
Steven Gerrard 's side ran out 2-1 winners in the Premiership showdown in Paisley on Saturday.
Ahead of kick-off, previous comments pointed to by fans which allegedly contained offensive remarks directed at Rangers.
Needham, a lifelong Buddies' fan who stepped into the role as chairman last summer, has now offered an apology to fans and the club.
He took to Twitter, stating: "On Friday 22 October a number of tweets I created in the past referring to Rangers fans were highlighted on Twitter.
"As a club chairman I have extra responsibility for the conduct and example I show.
"These posts are completely inappropriate and do not reflect my character or beliefs as a person and I very much regret them.
"I apologise unreservedly to the Directors and fans of Rangers and to everyone at St Mirren.
"I am acutely aware of my responsibilities. This won't happen again."
