They have not changed and still do this.
I'd love to ram that one down their throatsProof i listened to it Live.
A long time ago but they were sniggering away talking about it.
I'm sure it would have been Keevins and possibly Cooney
Had a quick search, no luck. Don't think you'll be able to find it now tbhI'd love to ram that one down their throats
Yeah, that particular one will be deep under the carpet. Thanks anyway pal.Had a quick search, no luck. Don't think you'll be able to find it now tbh
Yep at Tynecastle I was there that day, he was subject to more if not worse abuse that day.He put up with a lot up here and just got on with it. Still the player with the best first touch I have seen, kick out from keeper let's it fall between his legs and clip his heel and turned and ran onto it(against Hearts I think it was).
Is Walters in the Hall of Fame?, he should befantastic legend
They weren’t thrown by so-called Celtic supporters. They were thrown by Celtic supporters.Gerry Britton said this about the treatment Mark Walters received.
"As an apprentice professional with Celtic back in January 1988, I was appalled at the hideous racist goading of Rangers’ black winger Mark Walters during his Old Firm debut at Celtic Park. I was even more sickened on the morning after the match when I was told to help clear the Parkhead trackside of the dozens of bananas that had been thrown onto the field by so-called Celtic supporters intent on upsetting the on-field focus of the Ibrox wing wizard."

Me too.Over 30 years on and this is the first I've heard of the dart being thrown at him.
No, their friends in the mhedia claimed it was Rangers supporters who threw the bananas.Did Celtic football club ever apologise to him for the disgusting racist abuse he endured by their fans?
Fir er well lying about it???Fair play to him. Maybe Paul Elliott will say the same!
Yep, Joe Millars dad's shop was one they referenced iirc.Proof i listened to it Live.

Get in
What a player mark was. Wish we had got him sooner

That piece of skill has always stuck in my memory but I haven’t seen it for years and was starting to wonder if I had imagined it. What a player he was.
But surely that never happened,well thats what you would think if you believed the scottish press/medias version of events.Good player for us during his spell at Ibrox ..
Ex-Rangers star Mark Walters insists he's forgiven Celtic fans for racially abusing him during his time in Glasgow.
Walters made his debut against Gers' fierce rivals in January 1988 and was subjected to vile racism where supporters lobbed bananas onto the pitch and made sickening monkey jibes towards the player.
A dart was even thrown at the winger, an issue he admits did frighten him at the time.
Big-hearted Walters, though, never allowed the torrent of abuse to get him down during his time at Ibrox.
And he says he has since forgiven the punters who targeted him.
Speaking on Football Daft podcast, Walters said: "I've always been brought up to forgive and I know a lot of people verbally abused me that day.
"I've forgiven all those people, I just saw it as one of those things I had to go through.
"Unfortunately it happened a bit in England on a smaller scale.
"I was quite used to going to places like Leeds United, Newcastle, West Ham, Chelsea and getting similar but on a smaller scale.
"As a footballer, you just knew it was one of those things you had to get on with or else you wouldn't be a player.
"A few of my friends weren't prepared to put up with that and done other things but I was adamant I was going to be a professional footballer so knew I had to put up with it."
